Christmas 2021

We had a lot of fun making Reindeer Cookies and Christmas decorations this week.

We used arrowroot biscuits, nutella, M&Ms and pretzels to make our delicious reindeer cookies. It was a lovely treat!

Our Christmas decorations had a 'Xmas Tree' theme. We made a finger print xmas tree card, a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees. What a great way to end the year.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

My Mum has dark brown eyes and she has shiny blonde brown hair. My mums skin colour is light brown she is quite small but not the smaliesd yet.           

My mum likes going on family adventures and going to my aunty's house. She doesn't spend heaps and heeps of time on her phone. The sorts of things that she would do is that she would always go to my aunty's house or help us with our homework if we need help.

Me and my mum always go shopping together we always get the same clothes at Postie Plus but when we go in to town me and my mum have to keep it a secret because we don't like the boys coming with us.

My Mum is the BEST MUM EVER because when she is cleaning I will help her and when we finish she will give me a whole bunch of lollies. I will always love her even though when she grows me when I’m not listening and fighting with the boys i Love my mum.

Love From Carly

The day had finally arrived I was scared.It was our turn soon when the show had started I felt so nervous and shy because there were lots of parents watching us also the whole school was to. When it started Duffy, Scruffy and his friends started first after when Amelia finished the song came on. That was when I came into the middle of  the hall. When I came in there were lots of parents inside when we were dancing I felt so embarrassed  because I thought that I might make a mistake. When I went on stage I was so scared and really embarrassed  when it was our turn. We did the show Maui and the sun. At first of our play we had Jesse as the sun  he had to come in the middle of the hall and when he turned around that was when I went on. After when my part was finished that was when we had to go and sit back down. When we sat down it was the fairy tales turn the first part of the fairy tales was the three pigs and the big bad wolf the next part was the little red riding hood and also the big bad wolf again .After the little red riding hood it was the three bears they had to act like this the daddy bear acted like he was angry, momma bear acted qiat normal and baby bear was sad because someone ate all their porridge. After they finished we all laughed because it was so funny. When we all finished our parts we had to stand back up and dance to the Duffy song when we were dancing I felt so proud of myself when I was singing, then it was the end of our Great Reading Adventure assembly.

At first I thought that we were going on an real trip because she said that we were going on an adventure but when the alarm went on I felt so scared that something happened. when we head about the tsunami I was freaking out but when my aunty came and picked us up I was all good and lucky I had a friend other wise I would've of been bored. When Casey came I was fine when we got a little down the hill we stopped and then Sheree went to go and get her truck and then my aunty went to go and get her truck. While we were waiting me, Casey Charlie and Donnie we hopped in Sheree truck and then Charlie and Donnie were playing loud songs which was so annoying so then me and Casey tried to take the phone off them but they keep on doing it so we told on Casey mum. After that me and Casey just waited for the boys to finish with the phone well we were waiting me and Casey just played some hand games. After a while Casey mum had to go and pick her girls up so she was going to texts us if it was good to go and it was because Awanui was closed when Casey mum texted us we left to go home and that was so lucky that we live on a hill another wise I would of told mum to go to nanny's.
