Zebong



Today the story teller came to our school. I liked the story when Mr Stuart said "if you tell me how to get rid of the snake, I will take you on a date."
by Jade

Zebong is a storyteller. He told us lots of stories. My favourite story is when Pacey had to get the magic horse. I went in one of the stories. It was the one with a cake.
By Jacob

The storyteller read a story to us. I liked the first story. I liked it when William was in the story.
By Taryn

I liked the storyteller and I liked the baboon. I liked it because it was cool. My animal was the tiger.
By Kaed

Today I saw a bull. It was Willy. Willy was chasing them. He pushed them down on the ground.
By Damien

Using lines and designs.

New Paint!




Our classroom looks nice and fresh with the new paint. Our problem was the smell! We tried cutting up an onion and leaving it on a plate - still smelly! We tried leaving buckets of water out over night - a bit better but still smelly. We tried burning a scented candle - a bit better still. We hope the smell will go away soon.
