Water safety with life jackets

Today we learned how to use life jackets. A life jacket needs to keep you afloat when you are out in the ocean and or keep you warm. We should always wear a life jackets when we are on boats, going fishing and other important reasons.

My favourite colour

Blue

Blue looks like the colour of the clear sky

The colour of my blanket when I was three years old

Blue feels like the cold freezing water

When I jump into the pool in the morning

Blue taste like yummy and healthy blueberrys

In the morning for breakfast

Blue smells like  fresh blueberry muffins in the oven

At my neice’s birthday party

Blue is the colour of my dreams

When I go to bed at night

Mini beast

I've been working on mini beast since this morning. I am having a lot of fun going on a mini beast hunt around the school.I've found a lot of interesting mini beasts that I haven't heard of or even seen in my entire life time. Those mini beasts are  slaters, spittle bugs,earwigs and jumping spiders. I don't like spiders very much because they are creepy and wired. I like animals but not all animals because some are creepy and some are slimy. I learnt that mini beasts are small animals because mini means small and beast means animals. I love learning new things.
