Story time...

Halloween

Last night I went trick or treating. Not many people came to our house. I got lots of lollies of different kinds and they were yummy. Our house was decorated with a big long string with pumpkins and cobwebs on it. One house didn't have lollies so they gave me Oreos. I went with Gino.

Summertime

Last summer me and my brother and my mum and my dad zoomed to the beach. Me and Louis splashed in the water and the sun was out. After we went in the water, I built a sandcastle with a big red bucket. It looked like a strawberry. Me and Louis threw beach balls to each other. Then me and my dad carried each other really deep out into the sea.

Halloween Trick or Treating

On Wednesday it was halloween. I went to Miss Finch's home first. I saw Chelsea. Most people were out. One man gave me a packet of chippies. Alex didn't come because he had a bad day at school. Also, my next door neighbours, Eddie and Matylda, came with me. My dad came too. Miss Finch gave me, Eddie and Matylda two chocolate bars each. When I got home I got some more from my mummy.

Last summer

Last summer I went to the beach and I made a big sandcastle. I loved the sun shining and beaming on my back. I also loved the sun blazing onto my hair. My sandcastle was as big as a grown up. I looked around but my ball wasn't there. I saw Flo had the ball. Dad said, "Come on Pearl, it's time for lunch!". I felt very happy to spend such great times and make such wonderful memories with my family.

Talking About China

Ni hao everybody,

This term one of our major topics is China. We have been so lucky to have two people come in to our class and talk to us about their experiences.

Firstly, Mr Li came in, William's dad. He gave us a sheet of Chinese characters. These characters are symbols which are words in Chinese. He gave us bookmarks for our books. Lucky us! Mr Li told us that dragons are so fast, nobody has ever seen one! We thought that was pretty funny.

Secondly we had Steve Daw, Caitlin's dad. He just came today and told us all about how many people are in China and how many there are in NZ. 1,200,000,000 people live in China! No wonder there's not much room for dogs as pets, but goldfish make great pets. We learnt you can see the great wall of China from the moon. Pearl learnt that in Shanghai there is a shop called Pearl City.  In the time of emperors and dynasty's, if you tried to get into the forbidden city, you could lose your head!! But not today.

That's all we have time for today. Look out for more stories later this week.

Zaijain (goodbye)

The time I was sick...

When I was so sick.

One day I felt so sick I couldn't even walk. I had a headache, an ear ache and a tummy ache. Mum came in. She said, "What do you want ot do?" I said to her, "I want to do nothing at all!" I went to sleep. While I was sleeping dad carried me in the car and then he drove to the hospital. I woke up then they gave me medicine then I went to sleep.

Having the Chickenpox.

When I had the chicken pox I stayed home because I was so sick. My mum let me watch t.v. and then she told me to go on the trampoline for two minutes. After that I played with Milo, my dog. Then I went to bed. I felt better. The next day I felt so much better and my friend took such good care of me. It was the best day in my life!

Kia Ora

So many of our class have been having birthdays recently or are having birthdays soon, that we decided to write about them.  We hope you enjoy reading about them! Don't forget to leave us a comment. Thank you :)

My Birthday

When I pulled my covers back I jumped out of bed! I ran along the hallway. I went to my sisters room and shouted, "Anneke! Rebecca! It's my birthday!" Then I went to my mum's and dad's room and shouted, "Mum, dad, it's my birthday!" I was turning five. I felt really excited.

By Emily

Exciting Birthday

I woke very early and woke up my parents. Then I had breakfast. Then we went to my birthday. It was in Junglerama. I invited only one person from school. All the others were my friends from outside of school. Some were boys, some were girls. I had a Barbie cake. It had flowers around the Barbie. We had fun. Then everyone went home.

By Julia

Happy Birthday

When it was my birthday I woke up my mum and dad and brother. It was early. I ran down the stairs. I quickly opened my presents and waited for my guests. I felt good.
