Big Blue Bird
Once upon a
time there was a small blue bird that found a comfortable lone all to himself
and lucky for him no one came yet … then they came! He started to fight with the other
birds. Suddenly they saw a big blue
bird. The big blue bird was waving at
them all with a big smile but they didn’t wave back. All they did was make fun of him.
A few
minutes later the big bird landed in the middle of them then he line started to
go down. After that one of the birds
pushed the big bird. He fell upside
down! When the small bird hit the line,
one of the big birds toes fell off the line then they kept on poking his feet
and the line was close to the ground.
They finally made the big bird fall off the line but lucky for the big
bird he landed on his feet. The small
blue birds flew far up into the sky like they go shot out by a slingshot.
When the big
bird landed on the ground, all of the birds landed too but since they shot up
in the air really easy, their feathers fell off and they were naked. The big blue bird started to laugh at them so
they ran and hid behind the bush.

Making
a fort with my friends.
In the weekend I went to Forest Lakes after our soccer game
and it was cool. My friends and I – Ezra
and Reign – watched a movie later on.
After the movie we made a fort out of wood, blankets then we made a
fire. There were other kids who came to our fort. Jenni and Richard came and helped us make the
fort. We saw some chairs so we decided
to sit on them and look at the stars. I really liked making the fort with my
friends. Maybe I can do it again next
weekend.

Going to work with my Dad
On Monday I went over to my Nana’s house with my Dad and I fed
the dog. I did some work and went home
to have a sleep and a shower.
After that I started to do some work with my Dad. We went to collect some wood from the empty
houses around our street. Dad and I took
the pieces of wood to make a ‘man cave’.
It was hard work lifting the wood to give to my Dad. I used the crow bar to pull some wood a
part. I really love working with my Dad making
a ‘man cave’ and getting to use a crow bar was fun but very heavy.

Going to
the Pools
On
Tuesday 3 of March we were walking to Cannons Creek Pools. We were the second group and we had to get
dressed into our togs for swimming. We
jumped into the pool. We were with Room
3 and Room 9. It was fun in the
pool. I love the pools.

When
I found my confidence
I am going to tell you about a time when I was confident. I was confident when I was with my mum and
dad because they look after me and love me lots. The next day I went in my car to the
beach. After we went to the beach we went
to get ice cream and then went home. I
felt confident at the beach because I was safe swimming with my mum and
dad. My dad kept wetting me and I did it
back to him. Dad and I went under the
water, swimming under big waves and then all my family came swimming too.
