Ruapotaka's 66th Birthday

The cake is on the side -

Last Friday it was Ruapotaka's 66th birthday. Everyone was excited because this was the first time our school actually celebrated our birthday. Since Nurul was the eldest the he had gotten the honor to cut the cake with the youngest student named Isdora. Everyone's face lit up because they knew that they were going to have chocolate cake. The cake had blue sprinkles and chocolate frosting. It was delicious.

We then sang the happy birthday song for our school and cheered. After our celebration was over all the classes went back to their rooms and did some more work.

In this photo we have Nurul and Isdora cutting the cake -

King Street Bridge

King street bridge was a fun and confusing story I have read this year. A lot of the time I didn't know which character was which. My friend Kate thought Rebecca and Lyza were the good guys, making Hera and Jules the bullies. Anyways it was a fun story to read with my reading group. King street bridge is a cool story to read. Down below are 2 pages that was my favorite from the story.

Page 4 & 5

As Hera walked towards the bridge, she saw Rebecca and Lyza waiting for her in the shadow of the trees. Lyza and Rebecca cackled as they mocked and made Hera feel uncomfortable. Hera’s fear took control of her body making her throat and chest close up like a fist. She tried to breath for air but her airway felt so tight she couldn’t and collapsed to the rough ground.  Hera was lying down unconscious on the wet grass while Rebecca was fanning her with her reading book. Lyza freaked out thinking she killed Hera with the help of Rebecca. The 2 girls felt guilty of what they did. Hera's eyes began to open up seeing 2 big shapes coming toward her seeing if she was OK.
