Zero Waste

It is important to reuse, recycle, reduce and compost so that we don't keep adding to the landfill every month. New Zealand makes a rugby field long and 30 classrooms high of rubbish. We can reuse our old things that we don't need any more to make  something else useful, such as a buddy and a pencil holder and a pet.

Elgregos Magic Show.

Yesterday, the whole school went into the hall and watched the Elgrego magic show. 



When we were ready, Elgrego began his magic by  making birds appear. My favourite part was when he put three birds in a box and then he put a blanket  on the box and said, "It better work," two times, then he lifted the blanket up. The birds were gone. All there was in the box was a rabbit. The next bird trick was when he had a pot and he lit the pot on fire, then he closed the lid, then he opened it, then there was a bird. I was amazed.

Next, Elgrego performed a magic trick with fizzy drink which was a raspberry drink. He had a box which was called an ups and down box. He put fizzy drink in a cup and he put it in the ups and down box, then he turned it upside down and the right way, then he opened it. It wasn't split, so he took the drink out and drank it. We were all happy so we clapped because it was a good trick.

After the drink trick, we watched Elgrego talk with Seemore, the baby green dinosaur. Seemore was sad because people at school were picking on him because he was green, then Elgrego talked to him about using his wits, then he sang The Rainbow Song from The Muppets, then he went back into his egg.


Finally, Elgrego performed the brick trick. He had a blanket in his hand. He lifted the blanket and went through the brick wall and said, "Errrrrr!" and "Aahh! Arrrr!" because he was stuck then he put the blanket down and he was in front of the brick wall. I was amazed because he was in front of the wall.

Aunty in Hospital

Last night, my sisters and I went to the hospital to give my aunty a gift. We went to the hospital because my aunty had a broken arm and leg, so we had to give her a gift so she could get better soon,  but she was asleep, so we had to quietly put the gift on her bed. Her bed had a blue blanket and, under her head, there was a white pillow. She was in a room by herself .She had five flowers on her shelf.  Five seconds later, she woke up because I was talking, then she opened her eyes and got up. Mum stopped and had a talk with her for ten minutes, then she opened up her gift. She loved it so much. Her gift was a teddy and chocolate. She gave us four pieces of chocolate. It was yuck. My sisters loved it but I didn't. My Aunty Lisa loved the card more than her teddy and her chocolate too. The doctor said, "She needs a rest," but my aunty said, "I'm not tired," but doctor said, "I'm sorry but you have to go,"  so we went home with our dinner.
