At Poukawa School we have the most beautiful plum blossom.

The beautiful petals are drifting

off the tree.  The tree is losing petals.  One of the 

 petals fell on my nose.  I  had nectar on my nose. 

It tickled my nose.  "Stop it! It's too ticklish" I said to the tree.

At school  we held a cross country and we jumped  over the wire fence and over  a wooden   fence  and  in to the  plantation  and  we  had to go  down a  steep  hill   and under the goalpost to the finish line.  

I felt tired and hot at the end.

At cross country we faced Pukehou and Argyll East.  I came 4th.  I just had to beat 2 Pukehou kids and one Poukawa kid.  It was awesome as. I jumped the fence, ran round the plantation, round the cone and through the goal posts.   I sprinted as fast as I could across the finish line.

The fog was like a big fluffy blanket.        The  fog   was   like   a   magic   blanket.    The fog was like magic world.

Hannah's lamb came to school yesterday.
The lamb has a cute face.  It had furry legs, as furry as a grizzly bear.  She had bumpy hooves at the end of her long legs and pointy little toes.

I loved it when she wagged her "waggily" tail.

Spring has sprung in the Junior Room

Hannah's lamb came to visit and left us some small "raisins".
Well at least it wasn't the puddle it left in Room 2!
We loved touching it, and we watched Trudi feed it.
It wagged its tail while it was drinking.
Thanks for bringing your lamb, Hannah.

Then we all made lambs with lots of real wool and a bucketload of PVA glue.
