The rocky ride

 Late one sunny afternoon, down by the sea, there lived a girl called Mary and her pet elephant Henry. They decided to go for a ride in their boat, it was such a beautiful day so they invited some friends to come too. There was a giraffe, snake, deer, hippo and lion . The water was calm and the sun was shining therefore it was a  perfect day to go for a ride in their boat. So off they went.

After a while they started to notice the weather changing. Dark clouds appeared and the waves became choppy. Before long, it started to rain. They thought about turning back but they thought it would be ok. The waves got bigger and the rain got heavier. Splash Splash on their heads and they all cuddled in together to keep warm . All of a sudden they felt a great big thud! The boat tilted over. They all screamed “ARRRRRG” They lost their balance and fell over. 

Unfortunately, the boat had crashed into some sharp rocks. It made a big dent in the boat and some of their friends, deer and snake, fell out of the boat. They were splashing around in the choppy water, trying hard to keep their heads up.

Soon after, Mary and Henry tried to rescue them. They held out their hand and pulled them back into the boat to safety just in time.

“Mary, it's time to get out of the bath. Mary heard her mum calling from downstairs in the kitchen. Mary quickly started tidying away her bath toys. She collected up her toy boat and plastic bath toy animals. She put in giraffes, snakes, hippo. lion and elephant into a container and wondered what her next adventure would be in her bath tomorrow night.

Reading task - Why bees are so important and some facts

 This week for reading we are leaning about bees and why they are important to us. here is my pamphlet

Persuasive Wirting - I should get a seal for a pet

 I should get a seal for a pet.

I believe that I should get a pet seal. There are so many reasons why a pet seal would be amazing and I totally deserve such an awesome pet as I have been so helpful to my parents and doing extra jobs around home.

Firstly, Seals are so cute and I would take such great care of her. I would feed her every day and make sure she is happy. Plus, they are so quiet, you would not even know she was in our house.  

Secondly, I should get a pet seal because I could take her to the beach for a swim whenever we want. As we live so close to the beach, I would only need to walk out our back gate and over the sand dunes. How easy and fun does that sound?

My favourite reason that I want a pet seal is to play with her and  teach her tricks. I could teach my Seal to balance a ball on her nose and pass me the ball with her fins. We could play catch. This would be especially awesome during lock down when I have so much spare time. I would love to play with a seal in my backyard.

Who wouldn't want a pet seal?

To sum up, I definitely need a pet seal. I already know that I will call her Stacy the Seal. I will take such good care of her, she will be great company and everyone in the family will love her.

Next we saw a big house that you could see inside. after a man gave us a puzzle piece and we got to vote what Lego we thought was the best and we saw one that said "If you vote for me i will give you a lolly" so we voted for that one.   We wanted a little animal so we could play with it i got a white cat and Emilie got a Brown Hedgehog and indi got a grey cat and she called it Oscar and i named my cat snowy. Emilie named her hedgehog spiky. After we went to McDonald's and it had a big playground and i got chicken nuggets and chips.Then this girl started to chase us but we finally left.At home we planned to have dinner together but i had to go out.

My Super Seesaw

Today i created  My Super Seesaw. To do this, i got a cardboard toilet roll ,  some string and a big spoon. 

I tied some string around the toilet roll so the spoon was firmly sitting across the roll. Secondly,i made a little ball out of scrunched up tin foil. Lastly, i placed the ball on the end of the spoon, and pushed on the end of the spoon and it flicked up in the air as you can see from my video.
