Next term goals
My goals for next term:
I would really like to get my tech flash, and I want to be close or get my academic, sports and possibly cultural. I don't think I will get very close to my service though, but I would like to try and get some points for it.
I would like to get a kip - a gymnastics move on the bars, which I have been trying to do with my friends nearly every day at school for about 2 months or so.
I would really like to get better at fractions, percentages, and decimals to. I find them kinda difficult...

Poem - treehouse
I wrote ANOTHER poem called 'treehouse', also directed at little kids. I hope you like it!
I have a place
And it’s my little space
Up in the tops of the trees
Mother and Father can’t get to it
But I can get to it
With ease
It is my little spot
For whenever it’s hot
And I can go outside
I sit up there and think
In the wooden treehouse Father made for me
I can talk to the birds
And we speak little words
Of what we think and feel
I am the king
And I can sing
Out as loud as I want
I can take my teddy bear
Although I have to treat him with care
At the treehouse down the end of the yard
Poem - I am a
I wrote another poem (And it is directed for little kids) and it is called 'I am a'. I hope you like it!
I am a spartan
And I wear
Glamouring armour
And carry a spear
I am a knight
Riding my horse
Galloping over land
With mighty force
I am a soldier
Fighting for my country
I hold my gun
Old and rusty
I am a child
Running fast
Screaming and shouting
And having a blast
Which one should I be today?
I will be the child
Mr. Kvetch and I - poem for quick write
Here is a poem I wrote for quick write which I don't really like but...
It's called Mr Kvetch and I
It's called Mr Kvetch and I
If I could do it all over again
I would make sure it didn’t rain
I would really tell the sky
To not at all under any circumstances cry
And then I would go and fetch
My friend who I call mr. Kvetch
(Because he always moans about everything)
And we would go outside
And I would hide and hide and hide
Till my friend who I call Mr. Kvetch
(Because he always moans about everything)
Would find me
And It wouldn’t be raining
Which means I wouldn’t be gaining
Any wet clothes
And a nose that has froze
Outside in the cold
Social dancing reflection
My social dance reflection:
I think that social dancing was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. My favourite dance was 'red hot'. I wore a skirt and crop top thingy. The fire alarm going off was a bit funny and scary and I don't really know. I danced with my friends, and it was really fun. I can't wait till next year!

We were doing a quick write and one of the starter sentences was ''I should have lied'
I wrote a poem, although nearly everyone else wrote a story. I am personally better at poems.
Here is it:
I wrote a poem, although nearly everyone else wrote a story. I am personally better at poems.
Here is it:
I should have lied
I really tried
Not to say the truth
It just came out
In a bit of a shout
Of my big blabbering mouth
First I said
I was just trying to spread
The peanut butter on the bread
And then told her more
I dropped the spoon
On the floor
The crystal spoon
That broke in June
And couldn't be found very soon
And after that I said
Through my dread
That the spoon was gone for good
I put the broken bits of it
Oh all the sharp broken bits of it
In the bin to go
But mother asked
And I answered fast
Of what I knew about it
But mother wasn’t angry
She found another spoon in the pantry
And said that forgave me
After that I asked for help
Whenever I spread peanut butter

Writing... Ducks!!!
I wrote a piece of writing on the 10th of August, and although it isn't my best, I thought I should share it with you! It is called 'Lake Ducks'
Here it is! I hope you like it ;)
Here it is! I hope you like it ;)
As we powered through the lake, water streaming by us, I could feel the other ducks wake mixing into mine. I heard quacks coming from another flock, and I could tell the rest of our flock heard it to.
The sky today was a dark elephant kind of grey, which meant I couldn’t see much but the ducks of my flock in front of me and if I turn around, the ones behind. The water look like it was the sky, or the sky the water, because of the way the two grey things blended into each other.
The water rippled in the cold, icy wind, and I could tell it was coming from the mountains nearby.
My webbed feet were beginning to hurt, because we’d been paddling for a while. The pain was growing.
‘Woof, woof”
A dog. That meant that land was close. My aching feet would get a rest, and so would my eyes. Depending on what time of day it was.
As we paddled onto the sandy shore, I could see a few people, and some houses. I knew that there would normally be more people than this, but since it is a grey day, the people don’t come out much. I have always wondered why.

Here is a question
Here is a question I want you to think about.
What if no one had parents - and we were made from seeds - and we had many siblings. How would that feel - would you be sad - would you miss your parents?
Think about it.
Parents.
You need them.
Everyone needs them.
Go home tonight and show your parents how much you appreciate them.
They deserve it.
:)

Poem - What If
Poem
Here is a poem I made, called 'what If'
I hope you like it!
What if the sky was always grey. Then blue may not be such a favourite colour.
What if chairs weren't a thing. Then we would be standing A LOT! At least we would get strong legs.
What if pencil sharpeners weren't around. Then we would have to but so many pencils, and so many trees would have to be cut down to make them.
What if the grass was really tall. Then we wouldn't be able to see each other when playing! What would be the point of that!
What if the wind blew always, and in the same direction. Our hair would look crazy.
What if we didn't have trees. Well, we would probably be dead because trees provide us with oxygen.
What if there was no what if. Then we would not ask so many questions. That would be strange.
