Olivia the fairy princess

Olivia the fairy pig princess is a big drama queen and also has a very creative mind. This morning Olivia has been talking to her dad about all sorts of things.

She has tall ears, about 11 centimeters high, little button eyes, big snout with a little triangle at the end, chubby cheeks and an enormous smile that almost touches her eyes. She has short skinny legs and  short arms. She likes to wear fashionable clothes.

Olivia is a big bossy  drama queen, she acts like she knows everything and tries to boss everyone around.  Olivia likes jumping up and down and getting all the attention. Olivia has a very wild imagination

She is so slow when it comes to getting ready it takes her at least 20 minutes just to get ready for school. Her family loves her bossiness because it makes them laugh. When Olivia makes it to school each morning she dances and prances around the corridors like a fairy princess. During school, Olivia is a monkey she is always telling people what to do and causing trouble. She dances everywhere !!!. But  always has an answer to everything if the teacher asks a question.  Olivia is always the first person to put her hand up.  

So what do you think of Olivia? do you think she is a funny pig?

well I think she is funny even though she is bossy.

I liked doing this because it is encouraging me to write straight after hearing something. Next time I think that I could describe some things a little bit better.

lantern shop

One miserable day I was strolling the bare streets of Vietnam. I turned the corner and and saw tents and big feet.

There was a big tent of colourful  lanterns I climb the table leg and stood in front of the lanterns wow I thought to myself. Then a  man saw me and said“ You must leave get out of here fast,” then he got out his broom and started shoving  me off the table then I lost my balance and …… ARRRRRRRRR I fell and landed in a lantern. He could see my shadow in the fant sun and started banging the lantern it got holes in it and started to rip then the rip was so big I fell out. The scary man was chasing me down the street till he stopped  but I kept  running till I got lost.

The weather got worse and worse until it turned to custard. I was and cold, sad, alone and frightened without my family friends and no shelter.  Being lost in a county I didn’t know was scary plus I didn’t know my way did not know my way home so it was even more scary.  I wanted to cry. I didn't but I was still sad and upset. Then crash boom bang what was that a really bad cyclone was was here and it was ruining everything houses and lots more I was flying but it was NOT fun I went past a light post and grabbed it so I didn’t fly away.

Over night it died down. morning was here and everything was ruined and I was still not home but I think I might be here for a while.

The colour monster painting

  At the moment we have been doing some paintings  and they are called picasso paintings we hade to do bright bold colours and then outline it in black. I have really enjoyed this because it is fun and you don't have to get everything straight and perfect.

Cricket skills

When we were doing cricket skills with Mr Hastings he taught us all of basic skills to become a champine cricketer.

            The skills we learnt :

• Brush your ear when you bowl
• Keep your eyes on the ball
• Have your hands straight on the bat
• Keep your arm straight when you bowl
• support all of your team mates

It was really fun with Mr Hastings because he is good at teachings us cricket skills and he is really funny because if you bowl wrong he knows and says no try again. Practise these skills you might become a professional cricketer.
