Reading Block

In Reading block we do independent Reading. Here Is a reading response that Gwen rote to the Power puff girls.

I liked it when phone went beep because doesn't sound like normal phone.

It was Funny when a little monster was destroying the city.

It was weird when buttercup  kicked the monster but it just giggled.

I like bubbles and buttercup because they wear my favorite colours blue and green but I Don't like Blossom because she likes Pink.

MYST HAIKU POEM

In class we learnt how to write haiku poems.  A haiku poem is from Japan and is usually written about something in nature.  It is 3 lines long.  The first line has to have 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables and the last line has 5 syllables.  They are very tricky to write because you have to think carefully about the words you will choose to make sure they have just the right number of syllables.
Here is the poem we wrote together in class

Myst Ocean
Water all around
Gently lapping on the rocks
Clapping and splashing.

Songs For Our Mass

Companions on the Journey
We are companions on the journey
Breaking bread and shring life
And in the love we bear is the hope we share
For we believe in the love of our God
We believe in the love of our God.

No longer stranger to each other
No longer strangers in God's house
We are fed and we are nourished
By the sstrength of those who care
By the strength of those who care.

We have gifted with each other
And we are called by the word of the lord
To act with justice to love tenderly
And to walk humbly with our God
To walk humbly with our God.

Glory and Praise To Our God
Chorus
Glory and praise to our God, who alone gives light to our days
Many are the blessings he bears to those who trust in his ways.

We, the daughters and sons of him who built the valleys and plains, praise the wonders our God has done in every heart that sings.

Chorus

In his wisdom he strengthens us, like gold that's tested in fire.  Though the power of sin prevails, our God is there to save.

Chorus

Every moment of every day, our God is waiting to save, always ready to seek the lost, to answer those who pray.

Chorus

Celebrate
Chorus
Celebrate what we have been given, celebrate what we have received.
Celebrate the spirit of Jesus, alive in our hearts.

No longer shall you be people who walk in darkness, it is the spirit who draws you in to the light.

Chorus

Even the earth cries out.  It longs to receive new life.  It is the spirit who fills the world with new life.

Chorus

You who are gather'd here share life and love together.  It is the spirit who calls you our to give.

Chorus

MYST ACROSTIC POEM

M ysterious, magical island
Y et to be discovered.

3j Silent Reading

  

In our class we do silent reading. In silent reading we have a book in our desk when Mrs R says it is silent reading time we get the book out or if we don't have a book in our desk we go to the book shelf and get a book off the shelf and go back to our desk and we read silently for 10 minutes. That is what we do in silent reading.
