Have You Heard Of...

Have you heard of Ramadan. Well all the Muslim people have about three special days. Which they celebrate. They are Ramadan and Eid Mubarak.

Ramadan is thing which you fast for a month. Meaning you have to wake up early like 05:00 and eat till after 05:41. So you brush your teeth and have water. After that you cant have anything. We have the fast till about five o'clock at night

I love celebrating Eid Mubarak because I love eating  the yummy things like barfie laddo and much more. 

Trying Out Reading Eggspress

Have you heard of Reading Eggspress? Well first when I heard about it, I was so Excited to learn more about it because I love reading. Do you?

When Mr Somerville finally let us go on it we all were silent. We all wanted to try fiddling with everything, but we only had seven minutes till home time.

My favorite part of Reading eggspress is when I do my comprehension gym. We all have about 10 comprehensions to do. There are seven things we have to complete.

I have noticed myself learning more from reading eggspress. Whenever I'm free I go on reading eggspress! You can try it our for yourself here.

life Ed

Finally the time had come. As soon as I knew that we were going to the life education caravan I was so excited. I was so excited because we were going to see and meet Harold and Lynn.

I really learnt a lot of things inside the life ed. We learnt that energy drinks have caffeine in them. Caffeine is something that is not good for your body at all. We watched a video about a boy called Alex who slept late and didn’t look after his tenana. Alex had a very bad day. What made his day so bad was that he left his lunch home, he didn’t have a good breakfast, Alex miss the bus, he couldn’t play soccer and he didn’t look after his body properly.   

My favorite part was learning about our body. The best game we played was that a player sits on a chair and another player gets one of the body parts and puts it on the wall. The player who sits on the chair has to guess what it is.

I love going to the life education caravan and learning cool facts about our body. Mostly we always go there after a year now! I can’t wait till next year to see harold again. We love you Harold!

My Olympic Story

Do you know much about Tennis? Well I really enjoyed searching stuff and finding out all about.    

Do you know all the sports in Olympics? Well I didn't know until I searched it up. There are heaps of sports they do. The olympics are being held in  London this year.

Did you know that Tennis was invented in France ..... we all know what tennis balls look like today a green and fuzzy ball, but have you ever thought what the first tennis balls were made of? Well it was made of wool or hair wrapped up in leather.

Tennis is played on a rectangular flat surface or on grass, hardcorut and concrete. Two people play at once. We use a racket and a tennis ball to play. The clothes you wear are  probably t-shirts and maybe shorts and shoes.

Have you seen people in wheelchairs play tennis? Well you know that people in wheelchairs can also play. It got started in 1976.

Thank you for hearing my story about tennis. Hope you enjoy the london olympics.
