Handwriting Sample T4

My Brother is Still in His Bedroom



"My brother is still in his bedroom.
No doubt he'll be getting up soon.
But last night he stayed up till midnight,
so maybe he'll sleep until noon.

"I haven't gone into his bedroom.
Whenever I do he gets mad.
If anyone woke him this morning,
I'm guessing it must have been dad.

"It's probably best not to bug him.
I try to stay out of his way."
Yes, that's what I said when mom asked me
if I woke up grumpy today.

Salma's Report Week one and two






Hi my name is Salma Abdalla LC12's reporter. Today I'll talk about the first two weeks of term 4. The thing that interested me was our literacy task. We were doing a limerick. If you don't know what a Limerick is the first two lines rhyme together the third and fourth rhyme together and the last line rhyme with the first two. Here I've got Acacia-Bay's and Alyssa's don't they look great, great work guys! Now for week two I'm going too talk about a physical fitness test witch is called the Beep Test.Here I've got some photo's of people doing it. The highest score for the girls was a tie between Lucy and Salma they got 6.9. For the boys it was Caleb M 9.8 they are fit people don't you think? So that's what I've got today i'll get new story's this is Salma Abdalla until next time GOODBYE!!!!

Eco-System

When asked the question what is an eco-system? This is  what LC12 knew.
