Senior Unit - 5/6

Senior Showcase!

Welcome to an update on what our Senior students have been learning about.  Term 3 has been a busy one. We have been analysing Poetry and identifying Figurative Language such as metaphors, similes, alliteration, “the power of three”, repetition, idioms, hyperboles, personification and rhyming patterns.

As authors we have been replicating these language features within our poetry.

Listed are some fine examples of students poetry contributions.

Clowns, By Elsa SU2

They follow me everywhere

Like spiders creeping

Kill me or not they wouldn’t care

Their red creepy eyes seeping

Into my trembling soul

Their shirt spotted

With their ominous rainbow hair

And their pants dotted

Their big red balloons

Just cover their act

Instead of promotion they should be sacked

They want me to react

React I do

Facing my doom

I shiver and shake

All the colour in a gloom

And here is a little taste of our school camp list, By Lacey Su2 & Libby SU1

Some weird thighs happened on the bus

A note or two, not a big fuss

Matching anklets super fun

Extremely windy after some sun

Barely had any sleep

But after a while we did count some sheep

The bus ride was very long

But fun things happened all day long

And that’s all we’ve got to say

You should go there, well at least for a day

Life & Death – Diamantes, By Georgina Su2

Life

Alive, joy

Thriving, smiling, learning

Happiness fills my soul; darkness stabs me in the heart

Crying, yearning, mourning

Dead, lifeless

Death

On another note, Geography has been delightful for everyone learning about our chosen countries and all sorts of different cultures. You’ll be so fascinated by all the Yr 5/6’s spectacular presentations, from countries across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Its very exciting for all of us. Its like we’re visiting these countries and some of us are even getting to learn about our family heritage.

Our Senior students proudly represented Woodend PS down at Boardman Stadium within the District Basketball Competition. Mr Spilsted will be sharing more about their success.

This week the kids really enjoyed participating in the Lapathon.  A huge thanks Ms Mann for her outstanding organisation to make this event a success.
