=== **Hi my name is Holly and I like to play tennis (I LOVE IT). I have a brother and a lovely mum also a dog (she is so cool).When I am older I would like to become a famous tennis player. I am 9 turning 10 in June. I like to play with my friends and I like making new friends, even if they are a boy. My favourite type of movie is comedy. Most of my friends are in other classes. My best friend in the class is Alice!!!! I have two teachers Mrs Hannan and Mrs Taylor they are so nice. I like to use the computer a lot! My favourite things to do in the class is use the computer, writing, maths, and helping the teacher when she needs help. If I could look into the future I would like to know how many people are in the whole wide world including animals!!!** ===

__THE LEGEND OF THE CACTUS__
It was said that Quehualliu was the most handsome Indian of the tribe. He was always picking up flowers for Pasancana, the beautiful daughter of the chief. Together they learned how to walk and to play. They played in the most beautiful places of the mountain. Later on in life, they fell in love. But Pasancana's father wanted his daughter to marry another boy in the tribe. This other boy was an excellent hunter. When Pasancana and Quehualliu heard about that, they started to cry, and the two decided to escape together. They concocted a plan: on the following day when the first star came out they would run away to the mountains. When the chief found out that his daughter was missing he called together a group of men to help look.

Thanks to the light of the full moon they saw the men coming after them and asked the Pachamama, the goddess of the land, to hide them. The chief shouted! "They can’t hide forever!" So he and his men stayed there all that night. The next day the lovers had changed into a cactus, Quehualliu, By Holly!! HERE IS MY MASK ABOUT DEATH, SADNESS AND HOPE

=== My mask is gold with yellow flowers and underneath there is gold material spread out like a fan. straght through the middle there is a servey thing. Through the face is a nice pattern which is a light gold and a browny colour just above it. Next to the gold are some sequins all along the side. We cut the bottom of the mask off so we could narrate. === === When we did our dance I was one of four narrators so I had to do a dance with the others. We tried so hard with our dance. We practised and practised untill we got it to be perfect. All of us worked together and we made the best team. On the day of the performance our team were the best dancers and we coped well when our teacher did a little mistake and missed out a paragraph. ===

=== This is my art that we did in class and it is inspirerd by Matisse. I went for a butterfly and a umbrella theam because the butterfly is a nice colourful and the umbrella because it is a rainy theam and nice and slow. ===



Garden to Table is a program that the chlidren from year 4-6 are involed in. Garden to Table is when half the class does gardening with the gardening teacher Mrs Masters and cooking with the cooking teacher Mrs Slivester. Mrs Marsters harvest the salads and them Mrs Slivester makes the food with the chlidren. I think the program is a fabulos way to learn how to garden and cook. ( Thank Mrs Slivester and Mrs Marsters and all of the parents that help+ Mrs Taylor+ Mrs Hannan)
