Colour Poem

Walt: To write a poem that creates a picture in

the reader's mind using precise adjectives and nouns.

  

This week we wrote colour poems.
I enjoyed doing this activity because
we got to choose our own colour
and it was something new.

Here is my poem:

Arctic blue is biting cold like the water at the base of the Hokitika gorge.

Arctic blue is crisp like the air on a clear winters day.

Arctic blue is the shimmering scale of a bluefin tuna.

Brunner Mines Exlposion

                       

This week we went to the Brunner Mine Site. In 1896 the Brunner Mines explosion happened killing 65 men.  At the mine site we dressed up looking like the people in 1896 and we made a play for the Brunner Mine disaster. The play was for what all the kids and men and women did back in 1896.

We also went to the cemetery to see where 33 of the people that died in the Brunner Mines.  Me and some of my friends had to say all of the names of the people that died in the Brunner Mine during our remembrance ceremony.
