Rose's Cross Country Sense Poem

I can see my mum clapping and cheering, encouraging me to run faster. I can hear the engine of cars racing faster than me. I can feel my legs; tired, weak, but determined. I can smell the hot sweat dripping down my cheeks. I can taste my saliva swishing in my mouth. By Rose

Ruby's Cross Country Sense Poem

I can see Kaia speeding in front of me as I run up the steep hill. It feels like I am climbing a never ending staircase. I can hear children puffing while they are racing towards the loud, excited crowd. I can feel my strong legs pushing me up the towering hill on Hillcrest Ave. I can smell sweaty kids in their hot, sticky sports uniform. I can taste the dry air inside my tired mouth because all my saliva is gone! By Ruby

Benjamin's Cross Country Sense Poem

I can see bright, green grass underneath my feet. I can hear my heart beating like an elephant stamping. I can feel my body getting tired and sore. I can smell my sweat dribbling down my face. I can taste the saliva drying up in my mouth. By Benjamin

Joseph's Cross Country Sense Poem

I can see cars zooming past me as I run up Hillcrest Ave. I can hear kids and parents cheering for me and encouraging me to go faster. I can feel my legs getting slower and slower. I can smell the fresh air reminding me of nature. I can taste the hot sweat sliding down from my head. By Joseph

Nati's Brain Hook

I couldn't believe my eyes, there in front of me were five real life brains! Last Thursday Room 9 went to the Sunnybrae hall to learn new things about all sorts of brains. Neuroscientists came for a visit to tell us about humans and animal brains and how they worked. By Nati

Fiona's Brain Hook

We have been working on hooks to get people interested in reading about our experience seeing brains. The hall was silent while Room 9 walked along the hallway. A few seconds later…I saw a real life human brain! By Fiona
