This Sunday!!

Today I was like it is boiling hot to my mum. I wanted to swim in my pool in my backyard. But when I got outside i saw the pool and it was empty. I was like " I'm really burning today" I heard my mum and dad talking about we should go to the beach. And then I went to them and was like so what are we talking about here. And there like nothing what do you want to do today and I was like " Go to the beach" And they looked at each other and were like sure get ready lets go.

Last day of school!!

today was the last day of school. I did'nt want to leave before school ended.
In the morning before we start class we had a beautiful assembly.
That started at 9:00 to 10:15.

I was scared that I wasn't going to see my friends and teachers again.  I was Panicking like a tiger in the forest. That day I was like in my head " What to do in the holiday's" And then I Remembered the summer learning journey.

That day I said to my friends that they should entry the summer learning journey. But they said " I have things to do in the holiday's even one of my friends said they are going away for the Christmas holiday's. And I said " Do your best and keep on doing what you love girl's".

All the classes in year 1 to 8 had to line up outside of their classes and get ready.

First we have to get changed into our house color clothes. And then we have to put our uniform into our bag’s. And then we have to walk to the courts and line up in our year’s. So I am a year 6 so I have to go and sit in my line.

After we are in our lines we have to go to our first activity.
Our first activity was target ball. There was this kind person that was teaching us target ball.  What we had to do was to get into our colors.
Our first instruction was to try get the ball into the other player's side.

But we had to throw the ball at the other ball’s that were in the square.
Our coach said that the yellow team is in the lead right now.
Then the green team was catching up. It was such a cool game we came second. My team said “ Ohhhhhhhhhhhh no”  we were so sad .after all we came second.


So our next activity was volleyball our volleyball teacher is miss scanlan and also my lovely teacher miss parrant. Our first came we had to verse the green team. So we won the game.
It was had for me because there was a lot of people.


And all the year 6 girls versed each other. I was so scared at that point because there was so much ball’s being thrown at me. And we lost because of the amount of people that got out.


And then it was the end of the day. So we got to go home.

Skye Reading Comp Practice


Free photo: Llama, Mammal, Fluffy, Llama Glama - Free Image on ... Llama Free Stock Photo - Public Domain Pictures

nce there was a young Inca boy. He had no family except for an old llama. Each day the boy and his llama walked many miles, looking for a home. Each night they curled up together and slept. But one starry evening, the old llama died. The boy buried his friend next to an icy stream. Then he sat under a tree and cried. What would he do? He had no family and no home.

The boy cried for a very long time. But there was no one to comfort him. There were only the stars in the sky.

Suddenly, the sky filled with bright light. The boy held his breath. He was afraid to move. One bright star fell to the ground. Slowly, the star took the shape of the old llama. She bent her head and drank from the stream. She looked at the boy and smiled. As she jumped back into the sky, bits of llama wool fell.

As the Sun began to rise, the boy picked up the soft, warm wool. It glowed in his hands like starlight. He carried the wool to the city and sold it. With the money, he bought a house.

    he dogsled race was about to begin. Julie’s team of dogs was lined up at the starting gate. Julie stood behind them. The air was so cold that she could see her breath. Other teams were lined up, too, and the dogs were excited. Julie kept her eyes on the clock. At exactly ten o’clock, she and the other racers yelled, "Mush!" The dogs knew that meant "Go!" They leapt forward and the race began!

Julie had trained months for this race, and she hoped she and her dogs would win. Hour after hour, day after day, Julie’s dogs pulled the sled in order to get in shape for the race.

Now, they ran over snowy hills and down into frozen valleys. They stopped only to rest and eat. They wanted to stay ahead of the other teams. The racers had to go a thousand miles across Alaska. Alaska is one of the coldest places on Earth. The dogs’ thick fur coats helped keep them warm in the cold wind and weather. In many places along the route, the snow was deep. Pieces of ice were as sharp as a knife. The ice could cut the dogs’ feet. To keep that from happening, Julie had put special booties on their feet.

At first, the dogs seemed to pull the sled very slowly. They were still getting used to the race. But on the third day out, they began to pull more quickly. They worked as a team and passed many of the other racers. Once, one of the sled’s runners slid into a hole and broke. Julie could have given up then, but she didn't. She fixed it and they kept going.

When they finally reached the finish line, they found out that they had come in first place! It was a great day for Julie and her dogs.
