In the weekends

On Sunday, I went to my mum's house. I haven't seen her for 3 weeks. Mum and I went on the train. I felt excited because it was my first time on a train. When we got off the train,we went to the shop to get an ice-cream, mine was chocolate and my mum's one was a rainbow ice-cream. That was a great ice cream.

I am Poem

I am funny and happy
I wonder how high is the sky
I hear the birds singing to me
I see people running everywhere
I want to be a great singer
I am funny and happy

I pretend to be a great singer
I feel the world shaking
I touch the worm’s skin
I worry about the about the world
I cry if someone calls me names
I am funny and happy.

I understand that I have to work hard
I say kind words to people
I dream that lollies are by me
I try to work hard
I hope I have a wonderful life
I am funny and happy

Emperor Penguin

Emperor Penguin
This Penguin was washed to New Zealand’s shore which is in Wellington.
People are taking sand and sticks out  of the penguin's stomach because  he thought it was ice.  Now the Penguin is in the Wellington Zoo.
