Our school is so AWESOME because we do fun things and its awesome because you get to choose your partner when we are doing learning . And you get to do cool things with you partner. Some times its  you  can't talk because  you get more work done.

BOATS .

Boats are made for people who like to go fishing. Boats are  also made to help people go across the water. Boat were made in the early ancients days. These days the boats of today are jet boats and the BLUE BRIDGE  and THE INTERISLANDER. 

Topic about boats

At Waikawa Bay School we are doing topic about boats. My one is what parts are there on a boat. I know quite a lot of it. There is a mast and a winch, boom, rudder, hull, deck, tiller and an anchor. Thats most of what I know. A mast holds a sail and a winch puts up a sail. When you turn the steering wheel on a boat it turns the rudder that steers the boat. A hull is the bottom of the boat. A deck you can use for all sort of things, it is the part you walk on outside on the boat. The anchor is for staying somewhere, you have to put it down to the sea bottom.

EVERYOne started to clap and then we started to sing some songs and then we watched a little movie and then we had a little break and had some lollies.  We only got two lollys and then we went back on stage and then started to sing again. We sang lots of songs and then we sang a song and then a crockadile came out and it wanted to dance with someone and the crockdiel went away when the song finished. After the song we sung lots of other songs. Most of the songs I liked.

How feelings affect us.

Feelings are when you feel sad happy or angry. When you have happy feelings you feel happy.When you feel sad  you  feel sad. When you hurt some  one  you make them sad but when you be nice to them they feel happy.If you respect your feelings you feel happy and proud.If you say mean things they get upset.

learning

Learning  is fun because then you know stuff that you didn't know before. Maths is my best, it's fun .Tmes tables are my faviourite part of maths because I leant it and it's easy. In writing you need to use punctuation like capital letters and full stops.
