Week 2 Silent Reading | Poems

Poetry - read at least ten poems and Write a paragraph about your favourite one.

My favourite poem that I read this week is called Washing Day by Anne English. I liked this poem the most because it had lots of good rhymes and its not too short. Another reason why I liked this one the most is because it actually made sense because a lot of the other poems I read didn't make much sense.

Washing Day

A washing machine

A sploshing machine

splish, splash, splosh

Whenever I use my washing machine

it splishes and splashes

all over the floor,

It splashes and sploshes

As far as the door.

I get into muddles

And step into puddles

I don't think i'll use it anymore

Week One Silent Reading | Picture Book

Picture Books: read at least three picture books from within the classroom. Write a paragraph about  your favourite book. Remember to include the storyline and the illustrations in your response.


One of my favourite books that I read last week was Badjelly The Witch. Which is about two kids that have to go on a journey to find their cow that went missing and on their way they meet enchanted forest creatures. Then they get captured by Badjelly The Witch then they get rescued by an eagle and then God intervenes when they escape and the witch gets destroyed when she attempted to scratch Gods eye out. I enjoyed this book the most because there was multiple sentences on each page instead of one sentence on a page. And there was quite a lot of pages.
Another reason why this book was my favourite one is because there was also lots of pictures which made it not boring.

Matariki Star

Today we made a Matariki star because it is the season of Matariki, The Maori New Year.
We made them from card and string and we hung them in the classroom
