The St Clair I know

The sea High on the St Clair hill

The sea dazzles and sparkles before my eyes

The reddish, yellow sun sits high in the sky making a sparkle to my day

The seagulls squawking above my head like a never-ending debate, planning to steal my fish ‘n’ chip tea

White island looming deep out at sea like a whales arching back*

I imagine the St Clair soldiers marching down the sand the poles are a reminder of those how fought.

Wind, and the rain *

might drive you insane *

But the views high up on those on those rolling hills, is enough to calm a tiger

The esplanade is busy attracting people to its amazing café’s begging people to come *

The dunes and views are never the same

The creatures are the things that make the eco-system complete

The cute little seals riding the waves

If you are lucky you might see frisky penguins bounding about

Dogs galloping up and down the beach never stoping for a breath

Seagulls flying high in the sky

Sand hoppers never stop hopping

The salty smell filling your nostrils

The sandy taste fills your cheeks

Hear the waves crashing on the sand

Look at the amazing view

I wouldn’t have it any other way

3-D nets

Last week Rm 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes. It was really fun, we learnt we had to be good at certain things to make it work. And is wasn't all fun all fun and games, it was actually quite hard. We will show you how we made them.

First choose a shape, For instance, why don't we make a pyramid. First get a piece of paper and find the exact middle of the paper and put a small dot. Then draw a 6 by 6 square (making sure the dot stays in the middle) Next draw a 6cm triangle on each edge of the square. Finally you can draw the tabs on the opposite of each triangle. Now you can glue or cellotape the tabs to the shape.

Well, that's how you make a pyramid.
On our journey we learnt the names of shapes, vertices's, edges and faces. At home you could even make your own. We learnt we had to good at measuring.

Nets and 3-D shapes

last week room 13 made a city out of 3-D shapes it was really fun making it .We all made a house or a building Nick made some mini stand up people .

At the start of the term most of us could not make a 3-D shape we had to learn to measure the parts of the shape and we had to draw them out and put tabs on the shapes . Most of us put on too much cellotape.
