Weeks Eight and Nine

September 17 Ruby's Birthday

Today I went to Ruby's birthday party. First we went upstairs to play with Ruby's ipod. Next we went to watch the bee movie. Then we played ten party games. My favourite was pass the parcel. After that we had chocolate chip cookies, banana muffins and lemon cake. Ruby's dog Guddle had a red balloon tied to her collar.

September 24 Brownies and Scottish Dancing

Last Monday I did Brownies and Scottish dancing. At dancing we dance with a partner. We mainly use our feet, not the other parts of our body. For Daisy Doe we use our hands and feet and we go in circles with our partner. My favourite dance is the piroette. After dinner I walked to the Brownies hall with lovely mummy. We did heaps of art about cats. First we had to colour in a cat with no tail. Then we had to plait the tail blue, yellow and pink. We decorated a plate with a cat scene. Last we toasted marshmellows by a flame.

Week Seven

September 10 Rufus' Birthday

Today I went to Rufus' birthday party. I dressed up as Princess Belle. We got face paints and tattoos. Mine were a tuatara, an alligator and a dragon fighting, two roses and a flower on a vine. My face paint was a red rose with sparkles on. The cake was amazing, it was a dragon. We played heaps and heaps of party games.

September 11 Harry's life in Scotland

Harry goes to nursery 4 mornings a week. Harry really likes his nursery. His friend is Stuart. At morning tea when we go out to play we can wave to him. Harry really enjoys going to the beach because he likes having lunch and building sandcastles. He enjoys going swimming in St Andrews - his favourite thing to do is jumping off the wall. Harry loves watching Mr Men on TV. Harry absolutely loves going on the top of a double-decker bus and he shouts out "Mummy there's a cow over there!" After school Harry loves going to the park. Once we bounced him off the seasaw.

Week Six

September 3 Dear Room 11

Hi Room 11 and Mr Bell. What have you been learning in class this week? We've been painting and drawing oats and barley because it's the end of summer and it's harvesting time.

At Crail school we have no grass in the playground. After morning tea we always have milk and juice. For lunch we eat in the lunch room and to order we can get chips, fish, pizza, soup and mushy peas.

September 4 Picnic at the beach

Today we went to have a picnic at the beach and it was yummy. We made corn muffins and we took them down. We also ate an apple, a nectarine, a yellow plum and chips. Harry and I went climbing on the rocks and we saw heaps of rock pools with fluffy seaweed. After that Harry and I went down by the sea and saw an orange and yellow starfish. Then I helped Harry make a home with a swamp around it. I made one too. We put shells on the top to make them look pretty. Then Harry and I began to sing by the water.
