The Snow felt…

How the snow made us feel….

How the snow tasted…

Dear Fun Fifteen, 

Japan – We learnt:
Grace learnt that years ago there was a bomb in Japan.
Brooke learnt that there was a Japanese girl called Sadako.
Lulu learnt that Sadako tried to make 1000 paper cranes to make a wish come true.
David learnt that wishes should be about helping the world.
Mason learnt that Sadako died. We made 1000 paper cranes as a big wish to keep kids safe.
Chance learnt that the paper crane is a symbol of peace and hope.
Lulu learnt that peace means happiness.
Mckenzie learnt that peace means kindness.
Lauren learnt that a paper crane is the Japan airforce symbol.
Ellie learnt there was an earthquake and a big wave. Lots of Japanese were hurt. We sent our gold coin donations to Japan to help them.

This Friday we are having a very special day to acknowledge Japan.  We will be trying to make 1000 paper craines as a sign of peace and hope.

On Mothers Day it was my Dad’s Birthday.  He got a card that could talk.  My Dad’s voice came out of it.  We had chocolate muffins for his birthday – Yum yum!  

My Brothers Birthday 

On the 24th of May it is going to be my brothers birthday.  He is going to be twelve.  My brother likes banana cake, so he might have a banana cake.  That is good because I like banana cake too.  I do not know what I am going to get him as a present.  I know what I might get him, a top gear movie because he loves top gear.  I am not going to buy a card for him, I am going to make a card for him.  

By Wonderful Writer Lauren 

“In Japan and Tokyo there was a tsunami and some people were trying to get away from it.  It was scary for them.  I felt sorry for them and they felt sea sick.  Some people saw the plaster come off the wall.  A lady said she threw her high heels out of the second story”.  Written by Wonderful Writer Charlotte
