The Magic Box by Holly

I will put in the box
lovely Lou, the brown bird,
the reddest sunset,
and a shining golden ring.

I will put in the box
a puppy with the silliest coat,
an extraordinary sparkling drop of a pond,
and a beautiful princess with a silky, golden dress.

I will put in the box
a cow girl's wing and
a seagull riding a horse.

I will put in the box
a green frog in a canoe,
a golden girl
and a magic fish.

My box is fashioned from gold thread in the corners,
spots on the lid and pink hearts.

In my box I will swim through the bluest waves, play with animals
and phone my best friends.

Georgia by Abby and Holly

Georgia has black eyes. She has green and blue eyes. She loves to play on the playground and read and write. She smells like flowers in her house. I love Georgia.

Sparkle - Holly is great at mihi

I am proud of my mihi because Maori is a treasure of New Zealand and it is cool.

Elephants.

If elephants are hungry they will eat bark and even wood. When all the food has gone, the elephants have to move on. A grandmother elephant leads the herd. Elephants can
lift their trunks up high to get at leaves and branches. African elephants are larger
than asian elephants. African elephants live in the wild.Asian elephants are smaller than african
elephants.Elephants roll about in the mud.

The Purple People Eaters in reading today read the book "the Disappearing Sharks". Zach, Holly, Nicholas and Will learnt about Non-Fiction books>

We learnt that there are real photos, they are true stories, there are captions attached to photos, there is an index, contents page and we found out why sharks are disappearing.

Will discovered that the Megalodon Shark is the size of two buses. A diagram showed us this fact.
Nicholas found out that there aren't as many sharks in the world. 100 million sharks were killed in the world last year.
Holly learnt that people cut their jaws out for trophies.
Zach discovered that sharks can go as fast as 60 kilometres an hour.

We had fun learning these facts.

Happy by Holly

Happy is light blue.
Happy looks like a cheerful little puppy.
It smells like red cherries.
It tastes like icecream.
It feels like a warm breeze.
Happy sounds like people laughing.
