One day in the night, there was a monkey. It was a lazy one. He ate a lot of food. His job was a train driver. The first day he fell asleep and nearly smashed someone over. Then he jumped out of the train and said, "Are you alright? Do you want to hop on the train?" Then they zoomed away around the world.

Once there was a lazy lion. He sat around all day. In the night the lion went on a lazy animal train. He was going to Burger King. It was getting dark. Suddenly, the train stopped at the lazy animal's house. He helped the other animal be lazy, too. Then after that he went to Burger King. He ate chips and a burger, too. The end.

Selection of Descriptive Stories

Last Thursday Room 11 thought of some amazing adjectives together for a trout and then wrote descriptive, interesting stories. Here are a few of them.

Once upon a time there were two little fish called Kalan and Oskah. The colour of the fish was a rainbow one. The two fish saw a shark. So, they zoomed away, but the shark swallowed the two little fish up!

Mihi

We have each been working on writing our own Mihi. We have need to fill in our mountain, river, town we were born in, our parents' names  and our name.

Here we are practicing saying our Mihi.

Our last step is to now create our picture of ourselves.
