The Contraction Action Rap

This week we have been learning about contractions ... so we decided to make up a rap about Contractions to share at Syndicate Assembly. Here is what we came up with - we think it's pretty awesome!


********************************************************************

Contraction Action!
Hey, ho … come on let’s go!

Today in school there’s been some action
We’ve been learning about contractions.

Sit on down & listen to a tale that’s pretty phat.
Contractions, cool cats, are where it’s at!

First take one word then another.
Even better smash ‘em together and make less letters!

I’m the first word – don’t change me
Oh no, just let me be

I’m the second word – it’s ok -
make me shorter cos I know you oughta

And what do ya know, out of the blow
just one word remains – that’s plain!

The other letters that were there
Have all gone and disappeared

All that’s left is a little dot … cute as can be
That we like to call an apostrophe

So let’s go cool cats and hear some action –
give us a list of some groovy contractions ...

I’ve = I have, Wasn’t = was not, You’re = you are, He’s = he is, There’s = there is, Can’t = Can not, I’d = I had, Let’s = let us, I’m = I am, We’ve = we have, Don’t = do not, It’s = it is, She’d = she would, Isn’t = is not, Wouldn’t = would not, Didn’t = did not, We’ll = we will, Couldn’t = could not

The End!

Our Sun!

We have been learning to write explanations this term.  Here are some of our fantastic explanations about what the Sun is.  They are "Sun-sational"!!

********************************************************************

What is the Sun?

What does it do? … The Sun is a ball of gas.  In the middle it’s called a core, that’s the hot part.  Then there’s the Radiative zone.  Next comes Photosphere and then there’s Convective Zone.  Next comes Prominence and well then there’s sunspots.  That’s a big storm.  It’s the biggest and closest star to us.  What does the Sun do?  Does the Sun make air?  No it gives us light and heat.  That’s what the Sun is.

By Emma

The Sun

The Sun has sunspots.  They are as big as Earth, don’t you think they are huge?  Solar winds pull the closest star into it, that’s CRAZY!  The Sun is made out of gas.  In fact it is burning gas.  Is that familiar?  NO!

By Hollie

What is the Sun?

The Sun is a big ball of fire.  If you look directly at the sun it may cause eye damage.  If we didn’t have the Sun Earth would be a little ball of ice.  The Sun is our nearest star.  I love the Sun because it gives us light.

By Argus

The Sun

The Sun is a star, and the sun gives us warmth and light.  We need light to live and grow.  The Sun is bigger than 1,000 Earths.  The Sun is our nearest star as well as our coolest star!

The Sun

The Sun is a big ball of gas.  The Sun gives us heat and light.  When the Sun explodes we would not have light.  We wouldn’t be alive.

By Buddy

  

The Sun

Our nearest star is the Sun.  The Sun has sunspots.  Sunspots are big storms.  The Sun pulls out a star that is nearest to the Sun and pulls it back in again.  The solar flares are like spaghetti sauce.  The inside of the Sun is called a core.  The nearest planet is Mercury.

The Sun

The Sun is the solar system’s star.  It gives Earth the heat and light that are essential for life on the planet.  Because the Sun is only 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) away astronomers can find out far more about it than about any other star.  The Sun is made of gas.  

By Josh
