Exaggeration Poem

Exaggeration poem writing

Exaggeration means claiming something is greater than it really is. For example, if you said “my cat is as big as a house” or “I can run faster than the speed of light,” you would be exaggerating.

To write your own exaggeration poem, you only need to do three things:

1. Pick something to write about.
2. Pick a feature or characteristic of the thing that you are writing about.
3. Exaggerate that characteristic in every way you can think of, making a list as you go.
4. Take your list of ideas and turn them into a poem.

Here are some more tips to help you get started:

• When you write your exaggeration poem, it doesn’t have to rhyme, unless you want it to.
• If you can’t think of a funny ending for your poem, try ending it with the same lines you used at the beginning of the poem.

Good luck writing your own exaggeration poems!

I Ate a Spicy Pepper

I ate a spicy pepper

From my brother on a dare.

The pepper caught my head on fire

And burned off all my hair.

My mouth erupted lava

And my tongue began to melt.

My ears were shooting jets of steam.

At least that’s how they felt.

I ricocheted around the room.

I ran across the ceiling.

I dove right in the freezer

To relieve the burning feeling.

I drank a thousand soda pops

And chewed a ton of ice

To try to stop the scorching

Of that spicy pepper’s spice.

At last, the flames extinguished,

I admitted to my brother,

“That pepper was the best one yet.

May I please have another?”

I’m king Nathan

I’m king Nathan

Strong as king kong

Fast as the speed of light

Smart as a scientist

Flexible as a piece of paper

Skilled like jackejan

Sneaky like a cat

Has Killer hugs

Works with a team

Big appetite

Never screams

Good taste buds

He’s a superstar singer

N.B.A king

A son of a god

Talks to animals  

Hot shot guy

Smile is on 24 7

His muscles are as a big as a horse

He’s broken all his bones

Nathan

My Creature is a Red-bellied Piranha

Some things I needed to consider about my creature:     What I’d consider about my creature is that it lives in South America rivers, they are 30cm in height. The piranha picks on small fish and they live in groups and they’re meat eaters.

My enclosure has these special features for my pet:        To feed my pet you push the blue button at the back of the fish tank and the blue batin at the back of the tank opens so you can feed without the water coming out.

What I am pleased about: I’m pleased that I got all the materials and it came together nicely and it went according to plan.   I had to plan quit a bit because if the plan had no detail I wouldn’t no how length, width and the height. I was absorbed in P.B.L also I had to persevere to get it all done.

What I have found tricky: What I found tricky was cutting the hole in the top because it wouldn't cut and also it was hard putting the toy on the top of the inside of the tank because it’s not flat.

What I would like to improve: What I’ll like to improve is the amount of sand because I think I did not put enough sand and stones in the tank.

Camp Omatua-2016

This is me in my swag. My car is a mini cooper. I named my car rich money. My car got its name because it has a money sign on the back.	This is the handsomest group, we were making a house out of bamboo and tape and it was really fun.
Look at me on the big black tube. It was so much fun going on the tubes. I hope we bring the tubes next year.	Does Mr Ford look fancy dressed up as a waiter? He was serving the V.I.P ( very important persons). I wonder how much he gets paid?
When I bring the kayak up the river this is what I looked like, I know... so handsome!	These are all the gorgeous faces in Kauri 8/9 on the steps behind the dining room. Can you find me or do I blend in with everyone that is on the steps?

Hope you like my blog post- please comment ;-) :-)

City life is better they country life - Term 3 Week 4

WALT persuade other students to agree with our opinion.  This is the purpose for my writing.

Success Criteria:

1. I plan for a writing task
2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different sentence starters
3. Give reasons with detail - use specific words
4. I write most topic and high frequency words correctly.
5. I use capital letters, fullstops, question marks and exclamation marks correctly.
6. Use persuasive language

City life is better they country life.

In my opinion city life is better they country life.

First, in the city the shops are around the corner, but in the country the shops are far away from your home and it would take forever to get to the shops.

In country life it would be hard to raise a baby or a kid, because you won’t have the money.  In the city you will have the money because you will go to work.

In city life there are more aquariums so you can see the things that live in the ocean.  The country has no aquarium to see the wonderful things that live in the ocean.

Therefore I believe that city life is better they country life.

Then he went to the gun shop and bought a pistol. BANG!!  Bogis shot all of the windows in the shop, the man in the shop yelled (this is not Bogis speaking) 
“Hey, your not allowed to do that because it's illegal!” 
“Yeah, what you gonna do about it,” 
BANG!!. The man in the shop was shot dead, Bogis changed his name to Venom. Then he went to the Lamborghini and V8 shop. Venom punched the guy in the shop and stole a V8. Vroom! Vroom! He was speeding on the foot path. Smash! Smash! Smash!  He kept smashing the letter boxes. 
The whole army blocked the exit. KABOOM! KABOOM! The first bullet missed but the second bullet hit the car engine. Boom! The car blew up in flames. Venom died in the flames. THE END.

Area - Week 6

Area is the total number of square units inside a shape.

This is how we find area:
We count rows and columns.  We multiply the rows and columns to get the area.



5 x 5 = 25 square units:
We can use area to fit rugs inside a shape, pools, building homes or painting.

He changed his name to Death.  He went back tohis aprtment but instead of opening the door he sliced the door in half and threw people to the side so he could get through.
Then he jumped out of the window and ran to the biggest hotel in the world. He went around the inside of the hotel smashing windows and slicing doors.  Straight away he got super strength. lazers coming out of his eyes and thunder coming out of his hands.
When he was finished slicing doors and smashing wndows, he went to the Airport.  He got into one of the planes and grabbed the pilots and threw them out the window, he took the plane in the air and jumped out of the window.  When he was in the air he was swinging his sword around, smash, he went right through the roof of the Airport.
Death (Nathan) jumped up on his feet and Death yelled with anger, "I'm going to rule the United States of America!"
He ran to the army base and got into a tank.  Boom!  Smash!  He was smashing the army base , the people in the army were shooting and shotting at the tank but it did not blow up.  The commander of the army said "Its no use, we can't beat him,"
