Samantha and Michaela

Samantha and Michaela were very kind to help out our school by donating swimming gear for the children. They are both sisters and they love going swimming. They go swimming nearly everyday at 5:00 am. They have received a lot of medals, trophies and ribbons. I would just like to say thank you to both Michaela and Samantha for not only bringing in swimming togs but encouraging the Glen Innes School children to learn how to swim.

HAIKU about Jenascia

Today we have been learning to write HAIKU poems in class.   A HAIKU is a poem with 3 lines.  The first line must have 5 syllables, the second must have only 7 syllables and the third line should have 5 syllables.  They don't have to rhyme.  We have to come up with a noun to write about then we have to come up at least 3  adjectives which we will use in our poem.  It was a challenge for me because it took me a while as I have to choose my words carefully but I had good fun doing it with my friends.

Jam Sandwich

In this game I learnt how to make a proper jam sandwich and it was pretty challenging because the way I make it was not in the passage. I have not known that jam sandwiches can be made in different way so I really think that this game is really good for our learning. Also I would highly recommend this game to others.

How I get ready for school

How I get ready for school…

Getting ready is like part of a human life style. Getting ready for school is a very different story because you wear very appropriate clothing and you have to have the right gear as well.

How I get ready might be different to others but I really don’t care.  The first thing I do when I start to get ready is that I have a nice warm shower.  Then I put on my uniform, after all that I get my socks out from the warmer.  What I do next is, grab my lunch from my mum and if have spare time I will just turn on the TV or hop in the car.

My brother and I always try to convince our mum that we are sick but it never works. Sometimes I say to myself that if I was really sick she might not believe me and that is what gets my brain going. Also when I usually miss breakfast because i’m to worried about how I might come to school late and miss out on an exciting activity.

When I get ready I feel like i’m missing out on my favourite show. I get ready with a lot of help from my mum and I usually get upset that my mum never stops to have a cup of coffee or something. I love my mum and all but I just can’t figure out if she wants me to grow up or not. But I still love her helping me get ready for school.

In conclusion I think that I have some very complicated ways of getting ready and I also think that i’m not the only one, I know that there are others too.

How I want to celebrate my birthday...

On my birthday I hope that I can plan it because it’s always the same thing every year. I love that people try their best to make me happy but it just never works because I always know what we are going to do.

First of all I really want to be with the family because I want them to get along and have a go at- things. There is a slight problem with the family but I just can't tell anybody what it is because it is personal. So if they can be a family for once then that will be great.

Secondly I need to have a sleepover because having my friends over for a sleepover will be awesome. We could all eat sweets such as candy floss, candy canes, popcorn, fizzy drinks and chocolate. My friends and I could also watch movies so that we will get entertained while we eat the sweets.

Moreover I would really like to go on a trip to the Gold-Coast because I heard that it’s not called the Gold-Coast for nothing. Truly I just want to play volleyball on the beach because there will be laughter and fun, also we could go fishing in the ocean.

After all I guess that I would like to see celebrities so that we can have a laugh, sing with each other and ask questions. I want to ask questions because I want to be a singer and to get their advice will be more than what I dreamed for.

In conclusion if I get all these things that I requested than my smile will be so bright that the sun wanted to battle me. I really hope that my birthday will turn out the way I wanted it to be.
