How the giraffe got there spots & there long neck.

How the giraffe got there spots & there long neck.


Many many years ago giraffes didn't have spots and they didn’t have long necks infact they just looked like a yellow sun bleached horse.

One sparkly night the giraffe named Jewel couldn't sleep so she put on her warmest, fluffiest, spotted onesie, that always made her go to sleep. But later that night she felt something funny in her onesie and it was stuck to her so she pulled and stretched. Infact she stretched so much that her neck became longer, longer and longer. It had stretched so much that it was twice the size of its body. But the onesie wouldn't come off so she sat on her bed and cried.

While she was crying something magical happened, Stumble the sleeping god had just woken up from a deep sleep and watched Jewel cry. This is when he decided he had had enough so he flew down and said, “Abra Cadabra, make the onesie come off in a tick. “ There was a clatter and a bang and with that the onesie dissolved. The giraffe stopped crying but the spots from the onesie were still stained on Jewel’s skin.

 So that is how giraffes got their spots and their long neck.
So when you see a giraffe in the zoo with spots and a long neck you know what really happened.

Assembly item rm 20

  We did our class Production today and it went really well.
 When we got to class we all put on our costumes ready to go.
 I wore 1/ lab coat 1/ pair of glasses and 1/ wig, I really looked like a funky mad scientist.
I felt so nervous, I felt so scared  while I was on stage because I hadn't been on a stage for ages. But it was really creepy because afterwards I wanted to go on stage again.
My question was why do we have day and night this is what I said.
No no we have day and night because there is a humongous ball of fireflies going round and round the earth. But there was a fantail in the hall so it was a bit hard to concentrate.

 At the start we had a few problems with the microphone that made really nervous. Erin firstly said her part then me and next Shannon.

 But it was a bit bizarre because the lady who was videoing us didn't video all of it because when I put my hands up to show that I won that round she didn't video that part any way we don't have to be fussy.

 And then all of us came out the other end which lead to backstage again and all 3 of us gave our lab coats to someone who needed them to walk on stage with and then waited till it was there turn. Then we all carried on with the rest of the day like a normal school assembly.

Beach poetry

         

  I see  salty water floating through the waves                                                     

                                                  I can smell sandcastles and BBQ'S burning hot sausages and

                                                 meatballs

                                                 I hear people laughing as they rinse off

                                                 

                                                I feel wet sand crunching between my feet

                                               I taste ice cream rushing down my throat

                                               I think of a nice summer vacation.

In the holidays

In the holidays.  

My teeth crunched into the chocolate flake and it melted in my mouth.
Mum bit the big  juicy strawberry on top of a huge mountain of berry smoothie my brother licked a huge chunk of sherbet off his drippy ice cream. I sucked the milk chocolate chip off my dinky duck melting ice cream  and we both had a big flake chocolate smoothie with one straw and one spoon. The spoon was a big help to get all the flake out.

 Mum paid for everyone's sweet ice cream, and goodies. After that Mum Jamie and I were looking for a place to sit. Everyone had taken the best spots to sit so mum thought of a good plan then told us.  
  After that we had to buy sushi to have a seat at the sushi place. You have to buy sushi to sit there, then we watched the man make the sushi we had ordered the flavors were chicken and salmon So after all it was a yum lunch any way.

Flax-rock

                                                                           Flax-rock

I rushed up to dad holding my hands on the wall. I was first up doing the dark tunnel one!  
 he said you can get started now. I started climbing than I looked down it didn't feel like I had done much. but when it came to looking down it wasn't much fun.
 Because I am very scared of heights.  when I came up a bit more I saw a tunnel that went in the wall but I didn't get up to that bit. there was no way I could. But I really wanted to.
 any way so I came down and dropped what one should I do next I thought to myself.
 dad got to hot in the tunnel one so he swooped over with the other helper. and said what one do you want to do next Tessa. there was heaps of walls to do it on so I had lots of choices. I Said the hard one over there dad. so he buckled me up and got ready to go. I said to dad are you ready, he said go for gold. so I started climbing it was much easier than the other one. I asked for help a bit but not much I had got to the top in the end and I didn't try my hardest. so at least I did one full one. than I heard Mr Ford say 1 more minute guys. so I sat down thinking about what I was going to do today after rock climbing. than It was time to leave so I said goodbye and got in the car to drive back to school. than me and dad set off.
