Limericks

Wow, check out these great rhymers. 

There once was a girl from France,

Who wanted to learn how to dance.

She tried her best,

But wasn't good like the rest.

And her teacher gave her one more chance.

By Teneille

There once was a boy from Dunedin,

He loved to do lots of readin.

He loved to learn about math,

His mum's name was Kath,

So he went home and got a feed-in.

By Saintlee

There once was a boy from Gore

Who was very very poor.

He asked his mum for money,

She dropped it in honey,

So he asked his dad for some more.

By Cassie

There once was a school in the middle,

The doors were way too little.

The kids had to crawl,

They crashed into a wall,

And then they crashed over like skittles.

By Dakota

There once was a boy from Gore

He wanted to know how to count up to four.

But he couldn't get past two,

He didn't know what to do,

So he let out a very huge roar.

Ryan was scared

Hi i’m Ryan.

I am going to tell you about a time I was scared.

One day I was scared of a creepy noise going  bo bo bo .

So I went out to the dark ferocious lounge :(  .It was as scary as a human getting eaten by a Monster.

It was getting louder and louder. BO BO BO!!!!!.

It was like I was right on top of it.

In fact I was. So I went down stairs into my sisters room.  BO BO BO BO!!!!!!

BANG it sounded like it was a nuclear explosion.

I stepped into my Sisters room more. Past the no boys sign. Beside her bed I could see something glowing .So I looked under  the blankets and saw my ipod turned on.

Sam must have been playing it. And then I find Sammie in the second lounge. Watching television.

I ran and I ran to Mum and Dads bedroom yelling Sammies up Sammies up

and she got in deep trouble . But that wasn't the end of the curse of the ipod and haunted tv.

That was my very spooky  awesome wonderful worst night of my life.

But there was something else lurking in the house...

Here is a fun song to get your brains working for term 2.

We have been learning how to use Google Apps for education. We are so excited to be using this. It is a lot of fun to be a digital classroom. Miss Nielsen can copy and paste our stories straight from the documents into our blog, we are still learning how to spell check and use punctuation on the computer properly, but check these out.

Do you want to read my story about my life cycle?

When I was little I wore  nappies and I always sucked my pink dummy. (Please don’t tease me.)

Then maybe a year after I turned into a toddler. Apparently Mum said when I was 3 I said I’m a big girl and I didn’t use my dummy for a month or 2. I also went to preschool when I was a toddler and I had a BFF called Riley-may.

Then I turned into a KID! I LOVE BEING A KID! I’m a kid right now. Kids go to school just like me. When I Was 4, I was in a car accident and so was my Mum and Nan.  I was scared and I had butterflies in my tummy. But then my Nan got out of the car and sweared at the person that wasn’t watching where he was going and crashed into our car! Then when I turned 5 I started school and now I’m 7 and I go to room 7 at school! The school I go to is Invercargill Middle School, IT’S THE BEST SCHOOL EVER!

That was the life cycle of me. :) By Lily D

hi I'm kKuku do you want to know about me well great i love to do athletics and i also like to craft stuff and i like to learn new things now you know all about me.

Do you know about my amazing life cycle? Let me tell you the 3 stages of my life cycle.

The first stage of my life cycle was being a cute baby. When I was a baby I wore nappies. I used to cry because I couldn't say anything that I wanted to.

Next I was an adventurous toddler. When I was a toddler I learnt how to walk and talk. My Mum taught me how to go to the toilet. 

Lastly the toddler changed into a child. Now I am a child. I am very honest. I do all of my work on my own. I can ride on my own bike.

Now you know my life cycle.

I think you need a healthy pep talk.

You should help open doors for your friends. I am saying that because I want you to be AWESOME! And otherwise your friends might get donked on the nose.

The next thing you have to do is listen to people. Listen to your friends. They might say something really beautiful to you, or they might give you something that you had never ever seen in your whole life. 

Third we just need to show respect to others.

Now you know how to be awesome.

Who thinks that dogs are better than cats? If you like cats better than dogs you must be crazy because dogs are way more amazing than cats.

First they can play fetch. This is better because they get their exercise.

The next reason is dogs are soft and cuddly and cute sometimes. This is good because cats will only scratch.

In the end you must agree you should go get one right now.

By Harrison

You think dogs are better than cats? You must be crazy!

Firstly cats are better because they don’t beg like some dogs. This is good because it won’t annoy you.

The second reason is because they don’t cost too much money. And that’s a good thing.

You should go and get one right now.

By Nikaya

Do you think cats are better than dogs? No way! You must be crazy. Dogs are the best pets of all.

First, dogs help blind people. That is important so that blind people walk properly.
Next dogs don’t bark at people walking past my house.

I should go home right now and see my dog.

On July the 16th I had a party at home. I invited Noah, Ryan C and Mum and Dad.

Knock Knock. I wondered who was at the door. It was my friends. Noah got me a ninja pinball and I opened the rest of my presents. 

Mmm what's that delicious smell? Mum's clocking the tes. I had saveloys and cake. 

It was a fantastic day. I wish it was my birthday every day. 

By Dakota

Let me tell you about my birthday. My family and I were there. We had tea from a shop. My birthday was in October and we were at home.

First we had tea from McDonalds. It was so yummy that I was as happy as my little cousin Charlie.

Next I opened my presents. I had so many presents.

Third my family sang the happy birthday song to me.

Last we ate my biscuit fudge cake. I wish my birthday was today.
