This weeks poem is called "Wiggly Giggles"

I've got the wiggly-wiggles today,

and I just can't sit still.

My teacher says she'll have to find

A stop-me-wiggle pill.

I've got the giggly-giggles today;

I couldn't tell you why.

But if Mary hiccups one more time

I'll giggle till I cry.

I've got to stamp my wiggles out

And hold my giggles in,

'Cause wiggling makes me giggle

And gigglers never win.

This weeks poem - Smilez

Smiling is infectious,

you catch it like the flu,

when someone smiled at me today,

I started smiling too.

I passed around the corner,

and someone saw my grin -

when he smiled, when he smiled,

I realised I'd passed it on to him,
I thought about that smile,
then I realised what it's worth,

A single smile, just like mine,

could travel round the earth.

So, if you feel a smile begin,

don't leave it undetected - 

let's start an epidemic quick

and get the world infected.

-by Tina, age 12, Australia.

This weeks poem - Grumpy Grouch

There's a grumpy little grouch,

and he gets inside of me.

I don't like him being there!

I don't like his company!

He makes me groan and grizzle

and go thumping with my feet.

He makes me grouch and grumble

at everyone I meet!

He makes my face all growly

and my lips go poking out!

And he will not let me whisper,

he will only let me Shout!

But....this grumpy little grouch 

doesn't hang around for long.

He'll vanish like a raindrop

when I sing a happy song!

by Jill Eggleton.

This weeks poem...

The Leaves on the Trees
(to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus")

The leaves on the trees turn orange and red
orange and red, orange and red
The leaves on the trees turn orange and red
All through the town.

The leaves on the trees come tumbling down
tumbling down, tumbling down
The leaves on the trees come tumbling down
All through the town.

The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish,
The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish
All through the town.

Fantastic Day

I hope you all have a fantastic day too.

This weeks poem

Sleeping Beauty pricked her thumb,
started feeling overcome.
Probably she would have died
as the witch had prophesied,
but the fairies had her blessed
so she just got beauty rest.
For a hundred fifty years
she missed balls and film premieres,
till Prince Charming came along
singing out a cheerful song.
Kneeling down he kissed her cheek
hoping that she'd wake and speak.
Sleeping Beauty raised an arm
reaching for the snooze alarm
and her waking words were these:
"Just need five more minutes please."

Greta's Weekend.

In the weekend I went to guitar lessons and I learnt how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb.  It was easy because Valoa put some stickers on my guitar for me to know what to do.  After I finished guitar lessons I went to my cousins birthday party.  We had chocolate fingers and popcorn.  It was sticky and yellow like the sun.  We had loads of butter on the popcorn.  We dressed up as princesses.  I had a white dress and it sparkles like the stars on it.  It was a fantastic day.  After the birthday I watched Wizards of Waverley Place.  It was about wizards and wolves.  It was funny because Alex danced funny.  I had an excellent day.

Road Sense

I heard a noise.  The zebra looked funny because he walked from side to side.  His nose was crinkled.  The zebra nearly hit the pole.

Road Sense

Yesterday the school went to the hall.  Aria went outside and held up a sign.  We all yelled out, "hi."  There was a zebra outside.  He was large, fluffy and he had big teeth.  He was visiting because he wanted to tell us why we should walk or bike to school.  We went near Room 7 and everyone jumped out and got a big fright.  Things I learnt about were that we should bike or walk to school because it will save the parents money for petrol.  We asked him if he can count to five and he stomped his feet six times.  He is soft like a cat.

Welcome

Hello Room 3.  This is our new Blog.  You will be able to publish some of your writing on this blog and other people will be able to look at it and comment on it.  We will also be able to add photos of you working at school. This will be fun.  I wonder what the other classrooms blogs look like?
