Madison's Birthday 2009

Rip!

"Oh wow! Thanks mum,thanks dad this is just what I wanted!"

Now today is a special day for me because it is 26 of July which is my 9th birthday. For my birthday I got a yomiko classics puppy, the Sonic the Hedgehog videogame, Monopoly here and now game, Monopoly Deal, lego city camper van and last of all I got the start of the Polly Pocket mall and an electronic shop to go with it. I'm pleased to announce I'm very very very happy with what I got because some of the things I got were on my birthday wish list! Thank you to Grandad Rob, Barb, Grandma, Mum, Dad, Aunty Sara and Nana.

Livvy's Birthday

On    July  the   10  it  was  my  BIRTHDAY  I   jumped  out  of   bed   and  ran  over   my   best             friend  that  had  stayed  the  night.  I  ran  into  my  mum  and  dad's  room   I  jumped   on  their         bed  and  yelled, "IT'S  MY  BIRTHDAY!"  

They  suddenly  they  woke  up. "Happy  birthday,"  they  said.  As  soon  as  we  dropped  my  friend  off  we  went  to   the  Dux de Lux  for  lunch  with  my  grandma  and  grandfather. After lunch, the  whole    family   came  round  we  had  birthday  cake  and  coffee. Thanks to  Mum  and  Dad, Uncle  Shawn  and Aunty  Carol, Uncle  Dean and  Aunty Jane  and  my  friend  Grace.

The Cougars compass making book

Tuesday 22nd July 2009

We made some funny compasses like the ones that were in our book.

Here are some photos from making the compasses.

What we needed to make a compass was a needle, a small leaf , a magnet & a bowl of water.

Photos of unusual compasses

Hi this is Hannah, Stacey and Evan from the Cougars reading group.

Here are some of the photos that we took when we made our compasses. We needed a needle, a small leaf, a magnet and a bowl of water. We made a compass by stroking one end of the needle along the magnet. Keep stroking in the same direction for about one minute. Float the leaf in the middle of the bowl of water. Carefully place the needle on the leaf.

Your blog

Hi Room 17….I’m looking forward to hearing about your learning and adventures this term. I enjoyed your riddle- hadn’t heard that one before. I checked out your photos and it seems you had a great time on camp.

Cheers

Miss Reynolds
