Miss T's Classroom.

In the holidays, Simone, Anneke, Mum and I drove for an long hour to Wellington to pick up our new kitten, Stella.  On the way we went to the spotty museum and stopped for lunch at a cafe, it was really yum, but I got incredibly full very quickly!

We picked the kitten up from Shonas, one of mum’s friends from her work. When we finally got to Shonas (Simone  and I had been waiting for hours!) We fell in love with Stella at the first sight! She was a tortoisehell: ginger, black, brown and white.  She’s  tiny, her body was about as big as one and one half of my hands, she was very, very cute. Shona gave Stella to me to hold, holding her was like cuddling fluffy silk.

We got to play with her and her brother for a while, but when her brother caught a fly, he wasn’t interested in playing, he just ripped the fly’s wings off, and while it was walking slowly away, he kept pouncing (very quickly) onto it and biting it.

When we took Stella home, she kept crying but in the end she stopped, and I’m wondering if she even remembers her mum and brother.

How to avoid a Wombat’s Bum is an amazing fact book on all the things you would like to find out about!  From the Solar System to the smallest animals on earth, to frogs, trivia and even toilets!  And now I will tell you how to avoid a wombat’s bum: Don’t chase it! Wombats run really fast, and stop in half a stride. They kill their predators this way. The predator runs into the wombat’s bum bone and smashes it’s face!  If we chased one, we wouldn’t smash our face, but we probably would smash our foot!  Ouchy ouch!  Ah, well apart  from that, I think you should read it, it’s a good book!

It started out as a normal day.  We had touch practice with our friends.  But then, an ambulance pulled in beside one of the parents.  We were wondering what was happening.  After about a minute of talking, she yelled out We have to move.  They’re going to land the Westpac Rescue helicopter.  Our coach announced that touch practice was cancelled.  We were very disappointed. 

By that time, everyone was wondering what the commotion was all about.  There were different stories going around about what had happened.  In about 5 minutes everybody was off the field and the teachers were coming out to see what the commotion was.  Every once and a while a police car, ambulance or fire Engine came past.  A little bit later, it even started to rain.  After a wait of over 15 minutes, you could hear the sound of the helicopter in the distance.  When it came to land, it was like a huge windstorm.  When it was hovering above the field, you could see the grass blowing away from the chopper.  My sister kept getting small leaves in her eyes it was so windy.  As it was touching down, you could see the navigators door open.  Finally it started to power down. 

The paramedic got in a police car and went down to the accident scene.  About 5 minutes later,the injured person arrived in an ambulance and parked next to the helicopter.  About 10 minutes later the relatives put up white sheet.  I saw a yellow stretcher that the patient was in.  The next day I heard from my friend Nathan that when the helicopter was coming in to land, it flew only 4 metres above his house.  I also heard that the patient was a male about 30 years of age and had possibly had a heart attack.  For a short about of time the patient wasn’t breathing and they needed to perform CPR.

What the title says.;D Yes, I came from mb2 and I am having a great time in this class! I am 8 years old, yes you read right, and I am a huge cat lover! I do tap dancing, along with my best friend Monique, and gym. Once again, I love cats! I used to have one but he had to get put down. Wah! His name was Edmund. Miss you buddy! Well, I’ve lasted 2 years but I still really miss him! Anyway, let me actually tell you about me! My favourite food is macaroni cheese, please, don’t blame me, I can describe it in 6 words: Scrummy yummy scrummy yummy dummy scrummy yummy!

Hee hee! Well, my hobbies are reading, writing, playing, eating macaroni cheese (as you may already know!), gymnasics, singing, dancing and having sleepovers with my bestest friend, Monique.  I also love listening to music, and my favourite singers are Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift. I love millions more singers, but these 4 are my favourites! I think this is getting a bit long so,

SEE YA LATER!

P.S I’ll type more posts in the future!

Hi Mb4 it is Kim here. My house is great over here in Washington. I wish you were here to see it.  At my new school we get lots of homework, we get 45 minutes to one hour of homework each night. It is also different with the school books here.   I have 5 text books, 7 work books, and 4 note pads to put notes in for some subjects.  And one exercise book and one whiteboard (little one). 

Welcome everyone to the new term and year.  I am ready to begin the year,  and I hope you all are as well.  Most importantly do you have shoes, PE gear, hats etc well named.  At least then if you lose them, you have some chance of having them returned to you.

All the Year 5 students from Mrs B’s room, an extra special welcome.  I have added you to this classroom blog, so you should all now be able to log in here.  Test it out to check that it works!
