Letter to Vicky Jones

Dear Vicky Jones,

I love your story! My favourite parts are the two scary chapters and they are The Boy In The Mirror and The Dream because I like scary things.

Are you going to make a sequel? Can you please come to Parkvale School, Howard street, Hastings, New Zealand?

My favourite character is Chantal because she loves music and I love music. Do you play any instruments, I play violin?

Yours sincerely Kharn, Year 5 Parkvale School, Hastings.

Reflection for Sara’s Visit

Reflection for Sara’s Visit

· Something I was pleased with that we learnt more stuff about the environment.

                            
…because I like Earth and other elements.

· I really enjoyed learning how tall residential buildings can be.

                  
…because If I become a builder I know how tall the houses can be.

· Something I found hard was getting what they were talking about because I was at music most of it.

· Something that made me think was what we were talking about.

                  …because I was late.

Something I want to get better at is finding answers.

          (What can I do about it?)

I could read and google search more.

What I would like to know next is to have your say on the council doing something that you need to own the house.

Autumn

Here is my autumn poem.
Voice Recorder >>




Autumn 1/5/2012
 The leaves fall and the wind catches them and cleans them up.
 The wind swishes all the trees around making music.
 The trees keep the animals nice and warm.
 All the animals start to hibernate cold by the temperature.
 The temperature gets colder and makes leaves fall.
