The Cute Puppy.
Once upon a time there was a cute puppy. She was lonely. So she thought to find a friend. A little girl lived in the forest and the dog was close. The girl looked out of her window. She saw a dog running super fast. The dog was so fast that she ran into her room. The dog was so cute that she kissed it. “Thank you!” You said “Thank you.” “Yes, I did!” The girl hid. The dog sniffed but it didn’t find the dog. The girl laughed. The dog ran around. Then the dog said “I don’t have an owner.” “Oh that’s sad!” “Do you want me to be your owner?” “Yes please.” “Okay, if you want.” Then they went for a walk. But a dragon came and fire breathed on the bridge. It fell in the water. They went away. A boat was in the water and they went ashore and lived happily ever after.

Mum please can I go to Candy Land?
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Rosetta, who lived in a little house with her mother and father but they were mean. One day her mother and father were so, so mean that Rosetta felt like running away. She didn’t because her mum did not let her. Rosetta’s mum and dad didn’t even notice they had a daughter. They were so busy thinking about themselves. What Rosetta really wanted was to see Candy Land. Her mum always said no Rosetta no. Rosetta was very scared but the dragon was nice. The nice dragon said “Rosetta.” Rosetta had never seen a dragon that was nice before and she was very scared. The dragon said “Don’t be afraid, I’m nice.” The dragon asked Rosetta what she wanted. Rosetta said “I really want to go to Candy Land!” So the dragon took her. A bat swooped down and grabbed Rosetta. “Aaaaa” she said. The bat took Rosetta to his cave. It was nothing but a small door. “What’s in there?” said Rosetta. “It’s a secret” he said. “Oh, please?” “Okay” the bat said. So she went in. “Wow!” she was amazed. It was Candy Land. “Yaa, yaa!” she said. Rosetta ate too much candy and turned into Candy Girl and the dragon killed her mother and father. Candy Girl lived happily ever after.

SOMETHING OLD, NEW, BORROWED, BLUE...



Today my class went to the Suter Art gallery. At the Suter Art gallery we looked at lots of pictures. We did some art as well. We drew shapes and lines on a piece of paper. We cut out the shape of a cloud and stuck it on our drawings. Then we had to draw a picture of something real we had seen at the Suter Art Gallery. I wish we could go there again.

Today Room 14 went to the Suter Art Gallery. Our group thought the spotty picture was the best. We had to draw our own picture. A girl made lamps and the name of it was ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’, the same name as New Zealand. We had pastels to draw patterns and then we used coloured paper. We had to chose cards and people had different cards. The best part was art.

Today the class went to the Suter Art Gallery. When we got there we put cards under art stuff. We put down cards that said ‘Yuck!’, ‘Ha ha’, ‘The one you would like in your house’, ‘The that you think would be worth the most money’ and ‘The one that you think would win in an art competition’. We did sketching of shapes, lines, patterns, light and dark.
