That was Christmas

Remember the time I was at nannys and I was playing volley ball and I fell into a rose bush?
Remember the time I was at home and I poked holes in the presents to see what was in it?
That was Christmas.

Remember the time I was at nannys and I put a fart bomb in it and it exploded all over everyone?
Remember the time my cousins came around and I pranked them?
That was Christmas.

Remember the time I was on the water slide it was cool?
That was Christmas.

Remember the time I went down to the beach and I fell off the surfboard it was crazy?
Remember the time I was at the pools and smeary people were there?
That was Christmas.

Remember the time I was just thinking what my mum got me for christmas?
Remember the time I was at the parade and people were scrimping there heads off?
That was christmas.

Personification Poem

The flowers are bright like people.

The flowers are pretty like my Mummy. 

The cliff is about to fall on me.

Personification Poem

The trees are waving to me in the cars. 

The road is swerving

and skinny.

The grass is as green as socks. 

The trees are like a crowd.

Lighthouse by Cayden

One cold miserable night in a little town. There was a skinny lighthouse. There was an old man in a lighthouse. He was covered in woolley clothes on the man. The lighthouse went around and around and around. Suddenly the lighthouse light went off. The man tried to do something about it. He tried to fix it up. So he had to carry it down the stairs but he tripped over his toolbox and he smashed the bulb. He saw a ship coming towards the lighthouse. He was worried when it was coming towards him. He ran down the stairs and there were a few of people around the lighthouse.

La Luna by Cayden

There was a little boy, his grandfather and his dad. They were on a boat rowing together. They gave him a present. It was a hat. They were in their wooden boat, in the sea, waiting for the moon to rise up. That was their job to go onto the moon and clear the moon of bright stars. The grandfather and dad made the boy go up to the moon. He saw a shooting star and he went to have a look at it. Then his dad called him and he went to have a look. They were clearing the rocks and they were arguing about how he could do it. The dads way or granddads way. Then they saw a shooting star and they tried to get it off the moon. The boy tapped it with a hammer and he fell down. They kept sweeping the star up.

Equivalent Fractions

We are continuing to focus on Fractions in our maths. We have been looking at equivalent fractions. Below is a photo of what Cayden discovered while using foam fraction shapes.

Gold Coast

My treasure

​I have a treasure. It is special to me and my dad. It is a head torch. My dad and I use it for going on the farm. I use it on my motorbike for a light. I have to be good to get it. I am very good because I use it when it is dark. I attach it to my motor bike. It is cool. It doesn't really shine very bright. It is hard to see. It is special me and my dad.
