My Perfume

Yesterday  I   made perfume with  lavendar and rosemary.  Then  my  dad  brought  me a  spray bottle and I  put  the  perfume  in  the  bottle  and sprayed  the  perfume on  Jaya.  I  called  the  perfume  Bali because  it  smells  of  Bali. I sprayed it on Andrea and she thinks it smells fresh and beautiful.  By Ila

The 65- Storey Tree house

Do you know what the trunkinator is? Well it's an elephant with a boxing glove on . My favourite part was when a Terry clone was sinking in quick sand. It's cool because 3 sharks were standing row to row and ate a fish . I think everyone should read this book because it's funny and has good writing. By Jed

Jaya's books

On the weekend I  went to Sydney and I made 8 books.One is how to design your hair down and another one is how to design your hat. My other favourites are how to design your skeleton,  how to  design your scarecrow and how to design your swords. I like my books because I am proud of them. It is not writing, it is just  pictures to give you ideas. The sketches in my books are done in pen. By Jaya

Eloise's violin

A few weeks  ago I started  learning how to play the violin.  Every Saturday me and my dad drive down to the violin school. Violin is fun but very hard. Every day before I get to watch TV,  I practice my violin but sometimes I forget.  I love practicing my violin. My  teachers  name is Emma. Emma is very nice and she says that in term 3 or term 4 I will get to start learning how to make music with my violin. My dad says that I have to  be very careful with my violin because it costed $100. I love my violin to bits. by Eloise.

I have been working on this research for about two months . It was tiring to do it all in two months but I have managed to get it finished to present to my friends today.

Our First International Post

Hello from Australia,

We landed in Sydney Monday night. We had to take a train then a ferry to get to Manly, a suburb of Sydney. In Manly we stayed with our uncle and cousins. Jason, Nikki, Caiden, John and Charlie ( who are twins).

One day on our trip my mum and I went on a hike from Dee Why to Manly on our way back we walked on the beach, we played with the waves and got wet and sandy.

Uncle Jason and Nikki took me to palm beach. It is called palm beach because it looks like a palm tree. We walked to the top of the hill and visited a light house. It was a very long walk.

We left Manly to go to Byron Bay it took an 11 hour train ride. We stayed at a place called the arts factory hostel. It used to be a piggery. A piggery is a place where they slaughter pigs. But it was sold and turned into a really cool place to stay and have dinner and listen to live music. Byron is a beach town, we woke up every morning and hit the beach, I loved playing in the waves.

We have seen many exotic and beautiful birds. We saw a kookaburra, they are very cute and have a big beak. In Byron we saw heaps of white ibis, they have long black beaks and eat off the rubbish. At the arts factory we saw loads of wild turkeys running around. Flying turkey's scared my mum a bit.

We still have 7 weeks left and loads more to explore. My mum and I are reading the blogs and catching up on everyone.

Lots of love

Me and my snowman.

When I was 3 years old I got a toy snowman at my friends house and yesterday I found it at the back of my wardrobe. I didn't know that it was there because for a long time I have been looking for it. I love Polly, that is her name, because she's cute and snuggly. When they bought the snowman, her name was already Polly but I still like it. The end. By Eloise
