My Fable

Dia Dhuit everyone!

So, like my last blog, this one is all about FABLES!

I bet your like, "Oh man! Fables again?!" But today instead of teaching what fables are, i'm gonna tell you about a very special one (or at least the plan of one!). 

So as our task for today, i planned a fable. My short story is called THE STRAWBERRY AND THE CUP.

Is there a moral lesson: YES

Short: YES, YES

Personification: YES, YES, YES

My story starts with a Strawberry and a Cup fighting over who's better. Then a book joins in on the fight. They fight for a while, till a lady comes in, she uses all of then to have a cup of tea, a snack, and a read. She thanks all of them and they are all happy :D

My moral is that everyone is different, even so, everyone is useful.

I find that this moral very important. When you have those lazy weekends, then at the end you look back an thing "JEEZ. I did nothing over the weekend" and start thinking about how you weren't useful at all. Just think about all the other days when you did SO much for your family and friends

Have a happy healthy day everyone :)

FABLES!

 

FABLES :D

Namaste everyone!!

FABLES!! What a wonderful type of story!! 

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A FABLE IS?! Well, you came to the right place...

Fables are an amazing type of writing. They are short and they always include a lesson, and sometimes there are TALKING ANIMALS! Let me break it down a bit.

• Short: a fable is normally short. It helps keep the story interesting and not boring.
• There's always a lesson: In the wonderful world of Fables, there is always a lesson to learn.
• Talking Animals: PERSONIFICATION. Personification play's a big part in Fables. Fables are all about the lesson as i said, why not give that lesson by talking creatures?!  

Ever head of The Tortoise and the Hare; The Fox and the Grapes; The Lion and the Mouse; The Fox and the Crow? All of these amazing shorts story's, are in fact, Fables.

For example, in "The Tortoise and the Hare" The Tortoise was so sad at the mean words said by the Hare, he challenged the Hare to a race. The race stared and the Hare was so far ahead the he sat, and eventually fell asleep. After sleeping for a fair amount to time, he woke up. Though when she looked, the Tortoise was so close to the finish line, that the Hare couldn't catch up.

So, like the saying, "slow and steady, wins the race".

Long story short, Fables are a short, kind, rich story that always have a lesson. 

Have a happy healthy day :)

Audio Books!

 

Audio Books 🎧

Guten tag everyone!

So... just before we start, have you ever listened to a Audio Book? No? Well, its a book that is read to you! That is literally so simple, yet so good!

Listening to an Audio Book is a good idea for relaxing before bedtime at night, or for when you've finished your school but you aren't allowed any more screen time :(

So, for my class's reading task this week, we were asked to listen to an Audio Book everyday and then write a personal response. My AMAZING teacher even put together an Audio Book library so that it was easy to find a book that we wanted to listen too. (Here's the LINK)

My favourite Audio Book was The Paper Bag Princess, which is a classic princess meets prince story until a dragon smashes her castle and burns all her clothes - and then she becomes a princess dressed in a paper bag! The princess ends up tricking the dragon into falling asleep, calls the prince a bum (yes, thats right, she calls him a BUM!!!) and lives happily ever after on her own. Thats girl power!!!!

I really liked the story because the princess is the hero and she realised that she didn't need a guy for her to be a princess and that she could become queen on her own. I highly recommend this book for anyone aged 6+ and people who like saying the word bum!!!!!

Have a happy healthy day :)

Lockdown Highlights

Lockdown Highlights 🎇 

Ciao everyone! Anyone want any Coffee? Tea? A blanket? No? OK cool, i'll start then!

So during Lockdown I've been doing a good amount of school - like every kid (hopefully) - and I have come up with some funky stuff! Since everyone in my class has come up with some amazing things too, our teachers wanted us to make a big (ish) slide about all of our favourite Lockdown things.

I've done A LOT of baking since its one of my favourite hobbies. And well... you'll click through the slideshow to see my favourite master piece! (A sneaky hint: it start's with LOLLY and ends with CAKE hehehe see if you can put THAT together hehehe)

When people talk about Online School they assume that kids think its horrible and tiring, using our brain power on a screen all day, but, there are SOME perks to it:

1. You can do schoolwork from bed
2. You don't need to get up so early
3. You don't need to get dressed. STAY IN YOUR PAJAMA'S! NO ONE IS JUDGING YOU!!
4. You can snack all day and when Mum and Dad ask why, you say "there's nothing else to do!"

(trust me, I've done them all!)

THE HOLIDAY RECAP :)

 

MY 2 WEEK HOLIDAY 🏖

G'day everyone!!!

Today i'm writing about MY 2 week holiday!

Me and my family didn't do much, we wanted to explore Auckland since we only just moved here. We wanted to explore the city, go to all the beaches, and just generally just hang out everywhere.

My family and I are all big explorers, we moved to London 2 years ago and before that, lived in Australia. 

We did a big Camper-van trip all around the UK for two months, so you can expect a few hikes!

Because we LOVE doing that stuff, we wanted to go all around Auckland, but really we only saw lots of Parnell and Remuera and because we were going to see potential houses almost everyday, we have to move into the zone of Epsom Girls School, because my sister has decided that she really wants to go there.

I went swimming in my Nanna's pool a few times, we had a BBQ after that! It was really fun! Almost like we were doing it with all my family and friends :)

As most people have done, i had a couple picnics with my aunties and cousins. It was really nice to interact with other people! Even if we couldn't hug :(

Well... that's my 2 week holiday in a nutshell!!

Have a happy healthy day!
