Getting to know Miss Paget :)

Having a teacher that’s been teaching for over 20 years all over the world and coming here to our amazing school, really helped us with our learning. Getting to know and having a new teacher at our new school is different.

Being in the same class as Miss Paget is Awesome, with her bringing everything she taught at other schools and teaching us what she has teached and experienced in other schools is helpful.

Well, spending the rest of my last year here at pt england with Miss Paget, will be a big experience for me and also for her. I am really looking for the future with her.This will be continued with more and exciting news :)

Our Family Winning the Cash Prize

! Winning the Cash Prize !

Well as usual Me and my brothers come home feeling depressed and tired since we’ve had an whole day at school, My Mum goes through her email and gets the biggest surprise ever.

Just as my Dad arrives from his tiring work, he sits down, while my Mum stands up and reminds my Dad about the winning draw at pak'n'save saying if you get picked out of the winning draw, you get 1,000 cash worth of shopping.

Well, Mum says she just received  an email saying she has won the winning draw, which means shes also received 1,000 cash worth of shopping. As my Dad grabs the Tablet and searches through my Mom's email to double check. My brothers and I turn into tired slobs to happy loud lions celebrating my Mom's winning cash prize.

Mum got everything settled. Told us that we will be doing our shopping on a different day, But for now as we celebrate we head off to Glen Innes ‘TakeAways’  to buy dinner just for this night, then have our ‘takeaways’ at home.

The Super Duper Pooper Scooper My Sumarize :) Number2

I have been reading this book for about 2 weeks and already I have been sunk into the book  Using the website Into the book. It also helped me visualize and make connections in the text.

My Summarize:  

Page 15

Pete has more problems, someone is knocking on the door, Pete opened the door and there he was one of the smartest but also the annoyingest boy ever. His name is Henry Benson, he keeps coming to Pete’s house, Pete’s Mum thinks if Pete will hang out with him more his smartness or his cleverness will rub all over Pete.  

Page 16

Then Beson Butt .. … I mean Henry asked Pete if he had worked on his Science project or if he have even started on it, well Pete sounded all sorted out and said yes of course, then he asks Henry what’s his theme for your Science Project acting and sounding all interested.  

Page 17

Well Pete slammed the door in front of Busen Butt as what everybody calls him. straight after slamming the door in front of Busen Butt the Magpie starts attacking, also known as Mum, when the magpie attacks she starts chirping “Is he gone? Did he leave? why didn’t you tell him to have lunch? “ as all mothers they want to keep their child with the right friend, as I said mum thinks Pete will hang out with him then his smartness or his cleverness will rub all over Pete.

Page 20-23

After speaking with the Magpie shes says to make dinner, wash the dishes, and set the table for Dinner. After having to do all jobs, he sits near the window, looks out the window and tries really hard to think of an theme for his Science Project. But as soon as he starts thinking, He sees Dizzy (His Dog) doing what he does best have poos. Then again the Magpie starts attacking, But Pete knows what shes gonna say PETE, DIZZY, HAS DONE ANOTHER POO, but it wasn’t just about dizzy she also said to make sure he gets the rest of his chores done. Wow that’s heaps of time to think about my Science Project (NOT!) He thinks to himself.
