Personification

Lately we have been writing pieces of personification. Personification is when you make an object or a thing sound like it is a human. We weren't allowed to use animals though.
Here is some of the personification that I wrote.




The Pen
The old pen once again scribbles across the page.
 He sadly thinks about his chipped of plastic.
He awkwardly never says what he wants because his mouth always gets pressed against paper.
 He thinks he is useless.


The Balloon
The bubbly, positive balloon floats in the air.
Her young cheeky personality attracts everyone.
She loves everything that's positive.

The Wind
Out in the playground the wind laughs without thinking.
She's lonely so she sneaks about scaring people.
She is very patient for she always waits for her next victim.
Her ghost like shape helps her to stay silent when she's a total klutz.

New Years!

Welcome back to 2014!!! I did lots of fun things over the holidays. The best thing was Christmas!
Now I'm back at school and learning everyday. We have been learning about how other countries celebrate the new year. For Iran we made little grass heads. Iran makes little gardens to celebrate the new beginning of the plant. Next we did Japan. We made fans with Japanese symbols which people in Japan put around their doors. The last one we did was India. We wrote our goals on a little triangle because in India they write prayers, goals or wishes on banners, cut out as triangles. Then for homework we had to choose our own country and write, make and draw something about it. I did Quebec, Canada. In Quebec people go out with friends to a frozen pond and go ice fishing. I enjoyed my homework and learning about other countries. I can't wait to learn about what China does for New Year!!!

Test Week

Last week was test week. We had to do a star reading and comprehension test. Those two tests and our math test involved a booklet. They took a long time to finish, but I tried my hardest.
 We also had to do a spelling test. I was allowed to do all 100 words! I didn't get them all right though but I did extremely well! Then it was time to do a writing sample. We had to write a report about Pets day. Tomorrow we'll be doing the Ikan Test!

Interesting Fact Of The Week

Did you know that the biggest horse in the world record is Sampson the Shire. He was 21.2 1/2 hands tall, born in 1846.
Wow I can't believe that!

My Weekend

In the weekend Bridgitte and Elena came over to play.
 First we played with the barbies. They went to a  pink glamour party and to school. We talked and played some Singstar.
After that we were really hungry and it was time to have Morning Tea. "Mmmm yum chocolate cupcakes!" we all said together.
Bridgitte and Elena taught  my sister and I  how to play lots and lots of fun games. My favourite game was Wars, when we had two teams and we had to throw balls at each other and battle on the battlefield. We had lunch and then decided to go down to the swamp.
After walking through the paddock and over the fence we made some huts and bridges. The swamp was right beside the road so we saw Bridgitte and Elena's mum go past. "It's time to back!" shouted Elena. "Ok." We all replied.
When we got  back we had to hose off  all the mud from the swamp. Bridgitte and Elena's mum was there looking around our garden. We quickly played the card game Egg before it was time for them to go. "Time to go!" Shouted Bridgitte and Elena's mum.
After that they were off. I hope that they can come again and maybe stay the night.

Cluster Athletics

Last Wednesday ages eight and up got to go to the Cluster Athletics at the YMCA. We were split into six groups, junior, intermediate and senior boys and girls. The events were as same as usual, but one event I had never heard of before and I got third in it! It was standing long jump. I was in the final for the fifty metre final and the two hundred metre final which I got third in. My favorite part of the day was doing high jump because I got third when I expected to get seventh.  The day was fun, exciting and better organized then the Athletics at Cooks Gardens. I hope that next year they will have the Cluster Athletics at the YMCA again!
