Rainbow Fish

I think that the Rainbow Fish did the right decision to share his scales

Reasons

* So he could have friends to play with

* Because he felt happier before he was.

* So that the Rainbow Fish won’t feel lonely

Therefore I think what Rainbow Fish have done was the right decision to share his scales with his friends instead of keeping it all to himself. Sharing his Scales away was a good idea because he think about others before himself.

Tiakina a Tangaroa

On a lovely afternoon Sophie and her other friends were practising how to swim and they learnt how to do the hand signals to us in an emergency. This story was at the sea in the place called Marine Reserve. The story happened in the afternoon and morning. The children were learning to swim, also protecting all the plants and animals in the sea. They did a fundraiser parade so they could buy more snorkel gear for the children in other schools. They put on wetsuits to help them float and kept them warm.

The Anzac Button

Camping Holiday

One day a family decided to go camping. Dad came back from work with a new tent. Jake and his sister decided to put it up at the backyard. They packed their stuff that they needed to go with to go camping. Jake and his sister asked about the T.V. and dad said “who needs television?”. Mum said there is no shopping and telephones when camping. “It will be peace and quiet” said Mum. Mum packed boxes of tin food. Also Dad said “Don’t forget anything, Dad checked the all their gear. Dad said that they are going to lots of fishing and lots of tress to climb. They were going camping at the forest. While they were going camping Mum was singing in the car and Dad whistled and also Jake and his sister played I spy. When they got there they all unpacked the boot. They family was grumpy because they left the tent so they had to go back home. While they were on the car to go back home no one was singing and playing I spy and whistled, they were all quite. When they go back home they started to have a barbecue and Dad  said “We could camp here for the night”. The family was so happy.

The Rainbow Bird

    Rare Parrot                             Brown Pelican

Heaps of birds that were brown and grey wanted to be colourful at the forest. A rainbow popped up in the sky and the birds were surprised. The birds was trying to rub leaves, flowers and splash the berries on them. The birds wished some day that they would be colourful.

Suddenly a Phoenix started to come down from the sky and went to the birds on the trees. The birds was surprised to see the Phoenix. Some of the birds went with the Phoenix to the rainbow. While they were flying with the Phoenix the roaches started to come down to fight with the birds. Some of the birds were eating some of the roaches when they came down. The birds fought them and they won. The rainbow started to be colourful again, the birds were excited.

The birds wanted to be colourful so they went through the rainbow. When they went through the rainbow they turned rainbow colours. After when they went through the rainbow they went back with Phoenix back to the forest. When they went back to the forest the other birds were jealous because they didn’t turn colourful because they didn’t help the Phoenix fight the roaches.
