Chocolate fun Easter

  
This morning at chocolate fun Easter I had my cornflakes with some yogurt.  While I ate my breakfast I was patting my dog. Suddenly I turned into a glorious Easter egg.

At that fun loving moment my mum came in my mum was stoked. I looked like a cute sweet little tiny Easter egg.  My mum picked me up and cried “Are you OK?” I cried “Yep”. After she put me in the fridge she cried again “Bye Bye.”

Later the next day my Mum got me out of the fridge. I cried “I’m melting.”  Meanwhile at the door was my sister.  Mum quickly put me back in the fridge.  When my sister came in she looked in the fridge.  She found me. She said “Can I have the Easter egg in the fridge?”  Mum said “Yes.”. Gobble, gobble. Mum said “Wait don’t.”  “Sorry I ate it?”   She said “Noooo.” 

Then my Mum woke me up and it was all a dream.  Mum cried “Wake up.”  Suddenly I opened my eyes.  I said “I had the weirdest dream.”  Mum said “Come, have some breakfast.”  I said “OK.”

Chewy

"My rabbits name is Chewy.  He eats oats and teabags.  I bought him when I was four.  He likes running around in the garden.  My dog has to be locked inside while the rabbit is outside because otherwise they sort of have a fight."  said Kiara.

Crystals


"I have been collecting crystals at Akaroa. I usually go to the shop to get them. I like them because they have pretty patterns.  Some of them sparkle. I have got heaps. I have also got a book about crystals."  said Maisie.

Writing

We are learning to write recounts.

The jungle was cold. It had lots of trees. It was wet. The jungle was dim.

Five years ago I woke up really late. I went into the jungle. I was feeling cheerful.  I looked towards the bushes.

A monkey jumped out of the bushes. It started to rain.  It rained harder and harder.  I went into a puddle. I saw a lion go past me.

The rain stopped.  I fell through the sky.  I got home.  It was four o’clock in the morning.  I got into my bedroom and my blankets were on the floor.
