Edward Tulane- my thoughts

My favourite part of this story was when Maggie (Abilene's daughter) went into the doll shop and found Edward on a shelf and started hugging Edward. This was a very happy ending because Maggie was the daughter of Abilene and Abilene was Edward's original owner.

During this story Edward experienced many feelings for the first time in his life. When he found someone that loved him, he would feel happy and when he lost someone he would feel very sad. I have experienced many feelings like Edward. I feel very sad when I lose someone but you just have got to open your heart for someone else. 

Edward was very brave and he never gave up hope. He always looked on the bright side of life. I think that is the perfect thing to do when you have lost someone.

blog session

I had a blog session with my Mum. It was fun. We learnt a lot.

Myths

Each week in our class homework we read a myth and do an activity on it. There are 15 activities to choose from. I have read four myths and done four activities. It is quite a lot of fun. My favourite activity was to rewrite the ending of a story. I was quite good at that. I will be doing my fifth myth next week.My favourite myth that I read was The man eating lion. Our teacher has got lots of myths that we can read. Some of the myths that I read are so well described that it feels like I am in the book. I have got a whole book of greek myths so there are a lot of names that I can not even pronounce but luckily when I can't pronounce a name I can flip to the back of the book and there are all of the names in the book and they write the sounds so you can work out the names as you are going a long. Like the name Heracles, I couldn't pronounce the word so I flipped to the back of the book and sounded it out and I flipped back and kept reading.
Here is some of my work.

Dear Diary- what I think about bullying

Bullying is a really bad thing to do. When I see someone getting bullied I try to do something. I really have never bullied in my life. I don't see why people do it. Do they do it for fun? Do they do it for pleasure? I don't know, but people shouldn't bully. It is a horrible thing to do. When I get bullied occasionally, I never let the bully get away with it. I go and tell a teacher. I hate it when I get bullied so I would never do it to anyone else.

Maui and the sun

We heard a lot of versions of Maui and the Sun, but I'm going to tell you the first one that we read. Once upon a time there was a boy named Maui. He had a lot of brothers and he was the youngest. When him and his brothers went out to fish, the sun always went across the sky too fast. They decided they would go to the edge of the world to catch the sun and try to slow him down. They travelled many days and many nights. When they got there, they built two sheds to hide in. When the sun came up Maui beat it hard and the sun said, "What did I do?"Maui told the sun to slow down and the son agreed.
