Amies brithday


       Amie’s Birthday
 
We woke up 6.00 in the morning then we woke up Mum and Dad Amie opened her presents.   
I was so jealous of Amie’s presents because she got lollies and little pet shops.  
The first person to arrive for the party was sienna then came Angela with Victoria and Rebeccah.
It was a hot sunny day.
We all got into our togs and jumped  into the pool, it was great fun.
we played tag, pass the parcel and lots of other game’s.
but the best thing out of all the fun was the cake it was Delicious.

Learn


This morning you all need to research the bird that represents your ‘House’ at Parkvale School. I want you to pay particular attention to the characteristics of the bird, it’s movements and behaviour, it’s colour etc.


Characteristics - how it walks/movements, eats, how it looks, it’s diet, it’s behaviour, how it lives in it’s habitat, is it nocturnal, how it specifically does something e.g it’s sound/calling, it’s life span, breeding, wing span,

Write a summary about your bird. Make sure you use keywords and you are specific.

Create


You are going to create a drawing of your bird using Shane Hansen’s art as inspiration.

I think we should were uniform

Dear Mr G
I think we should wear uniform I have three good reasons why we should wear uniforms.
The first one is if you go on a trip and there are some kids there they might end up at school and the other kid might be left at the place they were before.

Some Kids fight about uniforms like if a kid says Mum Can I have a top with pink Sparkles because  everyone has One so I should have one”. So that is the second reason.

The last reason is if you get your clothes dirty or if you get die on then you might not get it off and you will be in big trouble if it is your best outfit.
You would be very sad and grumpy and that is why we have dark colors.
I hope I have been convinced please email me at pippa6nz5@parkvale.school.nz
