My Little Baby Hat! By Candice

In this photo this was my hat when I was a tiny baby!

I was also premature that's why my hat is so little!

I was three pounds!

A Duffy Day - by Tienira

On Thursday the whole school walked to the hall
for a very special Duffy Assembly. After the Duffy
Assembly some people gave out some Duffy
books and my Duffy books were "The Magic
School Bus" and "Scooby - doo".

Goldilocks- by Tyla

Have you ever heard the story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"?

Well if you haven't read closely. This is Goldilocks

and she is very very happy because the three bears let her go.

(now you should go and read the story yourself!)

I Stole Kanye West's Glasses By Arianna

In this photo Arianna is trying out glasses that we will use in our presentation about weather. I think she was looking outside wondering, "Why am I inside modeling instead of playing in the sun?" Well, Miss Day only took one photo of her and she only modeled one item to help with the props.

The Duffy Kid - by Paenganui

The Duffy kid looks stunning because he has two new books and looks like he loves reading his books. He enjoys reading non-fiction books like these two new books.

Speech Competion By Maria

When I won the speech competition I was amazed. It had been through a really hard term of research, sorting and writing as well as re-writing. Many students tried as hard as I did to even get to the semi-finals. The judges at the semi-finals were intense but fair. They had a hard job judging because all the semi-finalists were amazing. Then they called the finalists a few names had been called out, I hadn't yet heard my name. Then I heard it - I was speechless. I never thought I would get this far. Then a few days later was the finals. I sat waiting nervously in my chair while the students, teachers and parents piled into the hall. As the hall filled I knew I had to try my hardest. The juniors started their poems. Then it was time for the seniors. Some kids got called then it was my turn. I did my speech with breeze, my heart pounding inside of me. I finished and sat down. Mr Johnston called out the winners of the Juniors then the Seniors. I won first in my year group and I won first out of the whole school. I couldn't believe it - I won! Me the new girl! That is how I felt when I won the speech competition.

I Love Books- by Arianna

This photo has a girl named Arianna (blog writer) holding a book called "The Dead End". It is a book about a girl named Cassey Slatter who does not believe that she has bad luck, instead of the vacation that she planned (going to the beach). I really think the author (Mimi McCoy) has had this experience except for the myths in the story, because it is so well written. I give this book an 8/10 because of the creepy pictures on the front cover. I recommend this book to all 10-11 year olds.

Ms Potato Ears-By Katopau

This is a very amusing
picture of Lavinia
with giant ears that
look like Ms Potatohead's ears.

The Strangest and Most Amusing Egyptian Tai By Andew

On Wednesday 15th September 2010 my class friend Tai was introducing Egyptian relics (souvenirs) brought back from Egypt. His grandpa and grandma flew by plane or sailed

by boat to Egypt for a three week holiday. Tai also claimed that his grandparents saw

the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Sphinx and the valley of the kings. (A valley were Egyptian kings were buried) Tai did a hip Egyptian dance just after he introduced the awesome Egyptian relics. The picture above is the hip dance. (The dance was awesome too).

Big Giggly Black Beard-By Katopau

This is Black Beard and he is giggling.
His teeth are white so that means
one thing: he has brushed his teeth this
morning. Also his beard has grown and
blocked his eyes. Black Beard forgot his hat
because he might not have had any coffee this morning.

(We have been modelling costumes in our class dress-up chests so that we know what goodies we have for class dramas)
