Getting ready for school

Ahhhh!  What's that noise I asked myself. I woke up.  Suddenly it was the alarm clock ringing in my ear. Then I brushed the sleep out of my eyes and turned on the light to get dressed.  First of all, I had breakfast.  I had a hot chocolate and with that I had weetbixs.  Then everybody woke up to have their breakfast.  After that, I went to brush my teeth and gargle with listerene.  I had to wait for my brother and sister.  Then they were finished and it was time to go to school.

Diary writing

Dinnnggg! I looked at my alarm clock. I thought, but it doesn't even have an alarm, but I still woke up. It was 6:00. No one was up yet. 

A few minutes later...I saw it was 6:10. Still no one up. I could  tell because no lights were on. I remembered Walter coming in at night, (Someone's kitten) bell jingling as he trots in at night. He and Scatcher, my cat, are friends. I like it when he visits at day. He's a small ginger kitten, half the size of Scratcher. I also have two Guinea pigs, Snuggles, the runt of the litter and Cuddles. Yesterday, he betrayed my brother. 

Suddenly, I saw a light! I also saw it was 7.12am. I woke up to the morning chill. I sat down, got my breakfast and sat on the couch. One News was on. It always is. I waited......it was 8.00am. Finally. I had a shower. It was exactly 8.21am when I was ready. Yet again, I made my lunch and waited.

10 minutes later......it's 8.31......... My brother is at school.........and so am I.

Asian Language Culture

During this term, Mrs Fitzgerald has been teaching us about Asian Culture. We have been learning how to speak in Japanese. We know to say... Konnichiwa to say hello. We have also been finding out about Japanese homes. They are very different to ours. They are really cool. They have to sit on a cushion at very low tables. 

One day we learnt how to make rice balls with seaweed, corn, capsicum and rice. They were fun to make. 

Have a look at our origami and the colourful fish. The fish are to help celebrate Children's Day.

Sometimes, some students from Southland Boys came to help. It's been fun learning about another culture.
