What Am I? Haiku Poems

A haiku is a Japanese style poem which has three lines made by using 5, then 7, then 5 syllables.

Can you guess which animals we are writing about in these Haiku Poems?

Week Three Term Two

Science week

Science in a van :]

On the 3^rd of May we went to the hall for science in a van there where two people that talked about science. We all learnt so much about science like we learnt about matter like the 3 states of matter are gas, solid and liquid.    

 

 Growing crystals !

On Monday we made crystals

We needed: water

Salt       washer

Cups    string

Pencil    spoon

Steps: first you put hot water into a cup then we put loads of salt into the hot water then we stired it until the salt has disolvied then you tie the end of the string onto the washer then tie the other end of the string to the pencil. after leave the washer to create crystals on it also make sure the washer doesn’t touch the bottom of the cup.  

 

Oobleck!

You will need:

Cornflour,    bowl,    spoon,

Water and a   baking tray

Steps: first you put the cornflour into the bowl then you add tiny bits of water at a time then keep stiring until its as thick as honey when it is you can hold it over the tray.

This week we made 'Ghost Bubbles' with dry ice and dish washing liquid. See the instructions here.
They looked really cool and we were inspired to write some descriptive poems to describe them.

Ghost Bubbles

Slimy gooey bubbles

when it pops it looks like a misty cloud

Insect Information Reports

WALT: write information reports

Room 34 have been learning to write information reports. We all researched an insect and wrote an information report about it. Here are some of our reports.

Stick insects

Did you know that Stick insects not only look like a stick, they act like one too. Stick insects eggs resemble seeds scatted about the forest floor.

Life cycle

Fist the stick insects lay their eggs. Then it goes through the pupa larva stage. And then it goes through the pupa stage. At the very last stage of its life stage it becomes an adult. Stick insects can live up to 4 to 10 months.

Stick insects look like

Stick insects have a long thin body. Stick insects look like a stick. Some stick insects have a green and brown body. They also have green legs.

Habitat

Stick insects live in trees so they can blend in with the branch. They are also found in large green bushes.                 

Facts

1.      Stick insects don’t bite but they aren’t defenceless because they can blend in.

2.      Stick insects eggs may attract ants, when this happens the ants take them away to feed to their babies.

3.      Not all stick insects are just plain brown

4.      In winter stick insects eat phasmatod, a type of plant.

5.      Stick insects can play dead so predators don’t eat them.

6.      Stick insects hold the record for the longest

Insect in the world.

 

Now next time you see a stick you could look twice to see if it is a wonderful stick insect.

Dragonflies

Dragonflies can fly forwards and backward. They change paths so quickly that they’re hard to follow. They can see all around them. They can see above them around them and to the side of them.

Did you know they can breathe water through their tails.

Anatomy

Dragonflies have huge eyes and a long skinny tail. They have two pairs of wings that contain many veins. Dragon flies have six legs like all insects.

Habitat

Dragonflies live in swamps and bushes. When they are really young they live in a pond and they are like tadpoles. Once they are old enough they move out of the pond and to the bush or a swamp.

Diet

Dragonflies are carnivores. That means that they’re meat eaters. They eat all kinds of little bits of meat.

So next time you see a dragonfly be grateful of the little things it does.
