Room 10 have begun their Term 4 inquiry into Nepal. Check out the Year 3/4 Wiki. Because Nepal is prone to earthquakes, as is New Zealand, we chose to learn about Plate Tectonics and how the world moves and is put together.
We have also begun to read and write poetry. Here are a few poems that we wrote today inspired by out inquiry into Plate Tectonics. We are learning to use a variety of language features to give the reader rich images (and hopefully make them cry).
What language features can you spot?
Tectonic plates –
Like a swirling, slimy, slivering snail
Like a swirling, slimy, slivering snail
like waves coming near you when you're going to shake away with the sandy shells.
CRASH! The plates crash like cars crashing into each other.
It is tiny insects running towards each other when a big tornado soaks them up
once there in the middle together.

Tectonic plates –
Like an angry three horned tyrannosaurus
Crashing at someone,
Slipping and sliding.
Like an angry three horned tyrannosaurus
Crashing at someone,
Slipping and sliding.
It is a whirling, twirling ice cream machine,
going crazy.
Like a whale gliding
across the ocean
