Free Verse Poems WK8 TERM 4

Free verse poems are like stories. They don’t have to rhyme, or have an assigned number of lines. You can rhyme if you want, but it’s usually irregular. This is my Free verse poem on;

CHRISTMAS

Waking up to bells jingling and carols being sung

”It’s Christmas morning!” Yelled the young

Saint. Nick had delivered presents for every boy and every girl

and my mum got a nice urn

smiles came upon the Christmas tree, ornaments shining brightly

Grandma got everyone itchy sweaters, but its the thought that really matters

snowflakes were drifting in the cold wind outside

while people were building snowmen and putting twigs on each side

eggnog and hot coco was being made

while dad hung up fairy lights

Santa’s reindeer was near the fence

and Roudolf helped Comet make snow angels

Christmas, a jolly day

who would’ve thought even the Grinch would feel this way?

when everyone smiles and everyone giggles,

even on the coldest snow days,

warmth is spread with simple chuckles

oh, how I love Christmas

and the happy new year too.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Concrete Poems – WK 6

This is a concrete poem. Concrete poems are poems that look like a picture. These poems can be made with alliteration or similes, and other poetic devices of your choice. You can make these poems by drawing a simple-ish drawing of what ever you want, and write sentences on top of the drawing and then erase your art to make this word art. (Or sentence art) This is a concrete poem and how to make one.

Cinquain Poems

A Cinquain Poem is a type of poem with different patterns of numbers of words. A Cinquain is a simple type of poem, having one word for start, two words for second sentence, three words for middle, four words for second last, and two words for the very last sentence. This is the Cinquain I have wrote.

Nature

Green grass

Breeze ruffling leafs

Sitting under trees, relaxing

Sighing calmly

Acrostic Poems

An Acrostic poem is a poem that spells a meaning out of the first letters of a sentence. There’s different kinds of this poem, the middle-first-letters spelling something or the last letters spelling something. Theres also a double Acrostic which spells a meaning at the start and end letters. Another type of Acrostic poem is where the first letters spells out the alphabet. This is my original Acrostic poem where I wrote about F I R E W O R K S.

F lashing fireworks bursting colours in the sky,

I n the air, they shine and crack,

R ound and round the sparks flick

E xicted people laughing all around huddle up,

W alking people stop and watch,

O h, how bright and mesmerising lights can be,

R ound and round sparks fly,

K arma to those that missed it,

S patactucular night show this truly is.

 

Week 10 Pledge

“I promise to help protect ocean animals and their homes by…”

• Reducing plastic use: I will bring my own reusable bags and water bottles instead of using single-use plastics.
• Recycling: I will make sure to sort my rubbish and recycle as much as possible to keep plastic out of the ocean.
• Picking up litter: When I see rubbish at the beach or near waterways, I will pick it up to stop it from polluting the ocean.

Learning more: I will keep learning about marine conservation and share what I know with others so we can all help protect the ocean and its creatures.”

Week 8 Brochure

For this week we had to make a brochure, I had decided mine to be on Leatherback sea turtles. I have included their diet, habitat, and why they are important, and some drawings to make it look a bit better.

Week 5 Compare and Contrast

For this activity we had to compare and contrast with a leatherback sea turtle and a great white shark.

Week 2 Diving into the Ocean

 We had to research  and create your own poster in your STEAM books illustrating the 5 ocean zones. 

It needs to include features such as depth, light, temperature, and key species for each zone.

Label each zone and see if you can find and add information about how the animals are adapted to that zone.

 

• Sunlight Zone (Epipelagic):
  • This is the top layer of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate, making it home to the most diverse group of sea creatures, like fish, sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles.
  • This zone is the warmest and extends down to about 200 meters.
  • Fun Fact: It’s the only zone where plants can grow, and phytoplankton thrive here, providing food for many animals.
• Twilight Zone (Mesopelagic):
  • This zone is between 200 meters and 1,000 meters deep and only receives a little bit of light.
  • Creatures here, like bioluminescent fish, can create their own light to attract prey or mates.
  • Fun Fact: Deep-sea creatures, like the lanternfish, glow in the dark, which helps them survive in the near-darkness of this zone.
• Midnight Zone (Bathypelagic):
  • No light reaches this zone, which is between 1,000 meters and 4,000 meters deep.
  • Animals here, like the giant squid, have adapted to the dark with specialized features, such as large eyes and the ability to survive in extreme pressure.
  • Fun Fact: The pressure in this zone is over 1,000 times greater than at the surface of the ocean.
• Abyssal Zone (Abyssopelagic):
  • The abyssal zone lies between 4,000 meters and 6,000 meters deep and is freezing cold.
  • Organisms like the anglerfish and the abyssal Cusk eel live in this zone, adapting to live without light and at very cold temperatures.
  • Fun Fact: The temperature in this zone is just above freezing, but the animals still thrive due to their unique adaptations.
• Hadal Zone (Trenches):
  • This is the deepest part of the ocean, from 6,000 meters to the ocean floor at the deepest trenches like the Mariana Trench.
  • It’s home to creatures like the hadal amphipod and other hardy organisms that can withstand extreme pressure and temperatures.
  • Fun Fact: Some parts of the hadal zone are so deep that they haven’t been explored yet by humans, so new creatures are still being discovered!

Ocean Zones

Things I’ve learnt about Ocean Zones.

-The ocean has five different zones.

-each zone has different types of sea creatures.

-The deeper you go the less sunlight you see.

-The pressure under water gets more and more intense the deeper you go.

-There’s not as much life in the Trenches rather than the Sunlight zone.

-The temperatures from the Sunlight  zone to the Trenches is 30°C to 1-4°C.
