Hi all

Ni hao,

I hope you all had a fantastic time at Market Night last Friday.

Our class sold our christmas cards, gift tags and candy cane mice. Everyne was impressed by the quality of our work. And so were we.

We made $195!!! Amazing aye?! We are all super impressed with ourselves.

But, we also would like to say an humungous thank you to two ladies who made our stall possible.  These ladies put in an enormous amount of time, enery and resources.


Jo Daw and Rose Sipeli...

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

We could not have done it without you.

We would also like to thank Melissa Tait and Emma Instone for their wonderful efforts too.

Thanks everyone, for you support in materials and  ideas.

Hello everyone, we have been busy writing more stories and recrafting them.

The following are from people who have really tried hard to improve their stories.

Off To The Farm

I am going to the farm. The farm has some animals. There are horses and cows and sheep. I ride a horse. My mum is picking me up after school at 3 o' clock.

By Sylvie

I made a pop up book about houses. It has a contents page. It has some games in it. Today I am going to after school care. Today I am going out with my mum, Gino, and Gino's friend, Paul. (after recrafting...) We went to Denny's. We had lots of food. I wanted to have a fruit salad for pudding, but but they ran out of them. It was cute. After school care was fun. We played on the playground most of the time. I talked to the teachers about school.

Solar Eclipse

Today is the solar eclipse. The school might have special glasses to see the solar eclipse. They have film tapes in the special glasses. I saw the solar eclipse with my class. It was awesome. The sun looked like a red moon, with pink aswell. There won't be another solar eclipse for over ten years. I will be a teenager at high school!

By Nico

Yesterday we went to the library. Vanessa read a book called Revolting Rhymes. It had funny jokes. One joke was,

Knock, knock
Who's there?
Interrupting sheep
Interrupting sheep who?
Baaa!

Then we went back to school. My mum came too. We held hands with each other. It was really fun.

Story Time

Hi everyone,  today we only have one story to share, as it is a long one! Enjoy, and please leave us a message if you'd like to!

The Evil Queen

Yesterday I made a book at school. It was about an evil queen who killed Lucy. Lucy was a nice queen who protected everyone. In Fairyland, she looked for any danger arond her or her friends. She liked everyone in Fairyland.  Her danger was the wild cats. She got robbed by some of them so they fought them and the wild cats fought back to the magic stars. Some of the wild cats caught the stars, but the stars escaped from the dungeons. The magic stars captured the wild cats. Everyone said sorry and they all went out together.

What a week it's been!

Hello out there,

We have had a week full of interesting things to write about...

We had our exciting weekends, guy fawkes, and then we summarised all that we had learnt so far about China, in the form of a list.  We found that we had learnt a whole lot. We also decided that instead of our regular reading  activities on Wednesday and Thursday, we would write books, using recycled paper. We shared them in assembly.

Here are just a few of our stories:

Things I have learnt about China

1. I learnt that if you went into the Forbidden City, you could loose your head. That could also cause pain.
2. I learnt that Shanghai is the largest city in China.
3. Goldfish make great pets.
4. The giant black and white panda are the slowest animals in China.
5. You can see the great wall of China from the moon.
6. I also learnt that the great wall of China is the longest wall in the whole world.

Ballet Lessons

Yesterday I went to ballet lessons. My mum is going to the ballet lessons too. It is so much fun. I like the ballet lessons. My mum watched me.

By Sylie

Things I have learnt about China

1. In the Forbidden City, if you entered and you were not a noble person, you would loose your head, but not now, that was in the olden days.
2. In Shanghai I learnt that there is a shop called Pearls City.
3. Goldfish make great pets because there is no room for dogs.
4. Dragons fly so fast nobody can see them.
5. Only one child is allowed in each family.

By Molly

Things I have learnt about China

1. In China they have fireworks.
2. Kids in China love to fly kites
3. People eat with chopsticks.
4. Cats and goldfish make great pets because there is no room for dogs.
5. Pandas need to eat their own body weight in bamboo every day.

Thinking about Fireworks

Last night me and my mum were making a cake while waiting for guy faulks to come. Beautiful flashing came out when the fireworks were out. I rushed out the door and my whole family came out. I saw heaps of colourful flashing down the black velvet sky.

By William

Watching fireworks at home when I was four

Two years ago, when I ws four years old, I saw fireworks blooming in the twinkling sky at home. My sister was too young to watch them zoom in the old sky. I saw all the colours of the rainbow. Some fireworks split up into different colours. I enjoyed seeing the fireworks.

By Samantha

That is all for now, we hope you like reading our stories. We have been trying hard to make them really interesting, using describing words, so that they will be enjoyable to read.

Have a great weekend!
