🌊My poem about the AMAZING Beach!🌊

🌅

🌊Beach Poem🌊

🐟

Come to the Beach

Where blue- eyed waves meet you

Watch out for the dangerous creatures lurking under you.

Watch the waves come in

Then away it goes, back to sea where it likes to be the most.

Here it comes back to the sandy land 

Where you like to put your feet in the sand.

Sandcastles lay from earlier in the day

People baking  in the hot sun.  

Watching smiles from meters away.

Thats my kind of day! 

I got the Power!

Over the last week Mrs Minehan came to teach us how to make a digital comic. We used the site make Beliefs Comix to do ours. She showed us how to get started and how to get on the site.

 First we had to log into our google  acoount's,then after that we got to start. Our subject was about blog comments. I really enjoyed making this comic. Have you ever use Make Beliefs Comix to make a comic.
