I don’t believe it but I’m finally in year seven. I am really excited because we get year seven t-shirts and jumpers and we get to do lots of exciting things. I’m really looking forwards to the rest of the year and I’m sure it will be fantastic!

Its the last week of school and then its the HOLIDAYS! I’m really excited because we have six weeks off school. My family is busy getting ready for Christmas. We are spending Christmas Day up at my cousins house.I’m sure I will do lots of fun things in the holidays; seeing my friends and going to the movies. What do you do for Christmas or the holidays?

Its finally the school holidays! In the holidays I usually catch up with my friends or go to see a movie and sometimes I just stay at home. What are some of the things you do in the holidays?

The past few weeks all of the year 6/7 students have been working on their I.B challenge project.As part of the challenge we have to design a  project e.g. making a model or planning an event. Then we have to write up a journal explaing we you chose to make the model, the steps we followed, what we learned etc. This year for my I challenge project I have decided to make a lamp. The colours I chose to paint on it were orange-yellow, fluorescent orange and reddish-pink. I have chosen to make the lamp square shaped. I am hoping that my project will turn out to be a success.

Here is a poem I made up about bananas:

Deep in the dark, dangerous jungle the bananas hang in a big bunch in the early summer light

They are not ripe yet but soon they will be as yellow as the big bright sun

The banana trees tower above everything and the ground below is quiet and cool, shaded by the trees enormous leaves

As the day goes by the bananas still hang there in a big bunch getting riper and riper in the scorching hot sun

Soon night comes and the bananas just hang there in the light of the moon

The morning light comes over the horizon

A new day has just begun

A few weeks ago my class made storybirs for our buddies. My storybird is called the lifstyle of a rabbit .I made my storybird for my buddy Kaitlan and its about rabbits and all of the fun things they can do. I really enjoyed making a storybird and I think that my buddy will like it.

Here is the link to my storybird:

On Monday everyone in my class did a 100 word challenge!  We had to write a short story that contains 100 words and includes the sentence everyone clapped and cheered apart from … This line can go anywhere in the story. You should try the 100 word challenge, its really fun!

Here is my 100 word challenge.

The school holidays have finally arrived. I think that the school holidays are really fun. Some of the things that I do in the school holidays include catching up with friends or going for a swim at the beach (if the weather is warm) and sometimes I even go on a short holiday with my family. Now that you have heard about what I like to do in the holidays, what do you like to do?
