2011 I am developing my reading fluency in the CAFE programme by reading with others.

My goal is to build a picture for my audience by adding details. **Lamb and Calf Day ** The excitement was made. Riche (My lamb) and Tilly (Hayley's lamb) were calling out to Hayley and I. “Baaaaa,” as they were calling out to us. “Logan feeding time,” Hayley yelled. “Sorry can’t. I’m helping Ethan.” Mum told Hayley we can’t feed the lambs because there's a feeding contest. My lamb at leading was magnificent. Then it was calling. “Logan,” they called. “Now,” they called. “Riche ... here Riche! Good boy,” I said to my lamb. Then it was the drinking contest. Ready. GO! Suck, suck, suck,(as the lambs are sucking the milk). 1st was Hannah Wills, 2nd was me, 3rd was Hayley Wilson Bryant and 4th was Huntah Digby. At prize giving time in the lambs in care and attention … in 1st place is David, 2nd place is Charlotte, in 3rd place is Huntah and 4th Logan. For leading … 1st Charlotte, 2nd Logan, 3rd David and 4th Huntah. I was so proud of My lamb! By Logan I am developing my reading fluency by reading to others. media type="file" key="Logan T3 2011 Reading.flv" width="360" height="270" I am learning to read procedural text for understanding when I investigate with my reading partners. We had to read the experiment before we could do it together.

The king of Lego land “We must fight back I don’t like it when skullrk to put a skull in charge” “NO” “So who said you in charge” “Sorry father” Meanwhile at the dark castle Skullrk was gearing up “Were is my wand”(demanding) “Sorry master” (not meaning it)
 * Once upon a time there was a fine King who needed help. His name was King Leo and his son prince Leo Jr. Leo Jr was only 7 years old. So tried to train as hard . MENWILE. At the dark castle a bad guy named Skullrk who is the King of the skeletons as well a dark wizard. Skullrk was planning to attack so he get his bottom on the throne and the castle as his own. Meanwhile with Leo he is planning a attack to till he said

So back with Leo “we have to fight back” “But were” “At the forbidden castle” To be continued……. ||

But first mum had to get petrol. Then mum had to get a form so I go into the doctor because if we didn't I would not be getting my blood test. When we walked in mum handed in the form to the lady. I walked in. I was quite scared because this my first blood test ever.

I will make this legend into a movie I will know who is speaking. My next step- I will put the speech marks in by myself.

Tour time I have to take more time on my costume and make it look better.

I am using good descriptive words like - awesome

I felt a little nervous. Dad woke us up because it was the ski trip. Dad drove us there. When we arrived at the park I didn't get any lunch because I was late so I jumped back in to the car again and drove up to the mountain. When we arrived I asked the man and I said “please can I have some ski boots ?” “Yes you can Logan.” Then I moved to the ski section. The woman gave me race skies. I put them on then I had a lesson then I had a couple of falls. Mrs Cuming took a photo of me skiing down the mountain fast. I skied down to the magic carpet, then I skied down to the bottom of the magic carpet. Dad said two more skies down the mountain. When I walk to the shop I gave the skies back. We had KFC for tea. Next time I will go snowboarding. By Logan

My self reflection on my science investigation I investigated which apple will I buy. My mum wants apples which don’t go brown, and apples that everyone likes. I cut the apples let the kids try a apple. I found out most kids liked Braeburn because it was very good tasting. The hard part was cutting the apple. I cut the apples and looked every hour to see if it was brown. The apple that didn’t go brown fast was Mahana Red The best part was eating the apples. Next time I am going to do boats.

GREASE Recount - I am learning to use personal voice and feelings. At the concert Huntah and I were nervous .I asked Huntah if he was nervous and he said yes. Huntah, Ben, Travis, Jacob, and I were smiling because we were happy. Dad liked the part when they said let’s hear it for the toilet paper .That was cool. I liked the Grease lightning song but it was very hard. I was very happy when my Dad came. I saw about150 people sitting in the audience. I was happy they made me a rugby player and a mechanic. It was good doing dancing. I liked having Brooke as my partner. I liked the part when Hannah pushed Emma. I had lots of fun. We had donuts and juice too. Dad drove me home. It was a great night. Dad said it was a very good play. I felt really happy.


 * Lamb and Calf Day **

On the way to school we dropped our lambs off at Wendy's. We raced to school. I first started with my miniature scene. It was about gardening, it had all kinds of vegetables. I thought it looked good and it won second. My vegetable animal was a cow, then I made my play dough man. It was a man fishing for fish. My last thing was a table centrepiece. Finally I was finished. When my lamb turned up I ran to my lamb and I stayed with my lamb. I brushed my lamb. My lamb was good at lamb and calf day. My lambwas good at leading my lamb was number was 5. When it was my turn to call Zac I called him loudly. He came to me but he tied me up. Then it was the feeding competition. Hayley and I won a tie, we were equal. Then it was prize giving I came 4th and 1st for care and attention. After prize giving I collected my certificate for my painting. I came 1st for my painting and 2nd for my miniature scene and for 3rd and highly commended. I was happy.

The Rooster Dad went to shoot the black rooster. He loaded the gun up with bullets. He had to look at it first. Then he had to shoot it because Mum said to. It was killing the white rooster. Dad took four shots and it was dead. The white rooster was saved.

**Table Flat Road Post Office** **12Th of May 1930**

**Dear Logan** **How are you?** **It is hard being a 13 year old kid at school and getting smacked on the hand 3 times everyday. I can’t milk the cow or ride the horse because my hands are so sore.**

**Your Aunty Judy is sad because Uncle Travis has had to go to war! Now she has all the farm jobs to do as well. Guess who is in charge of firewood?** **I dread getting back from school because I have so much work to do. What jobs did you have? My main job is collecting firewood from the deep in the bush. It’s so dark I bang into trees. I got 5 barrows of wood last week.**

**Tonight we are cooking beef stew. Dad shot a cow with a broken hip. It had been hanging in the cool slaughter house for a week to set. Flies were everywhere and there were maggots under the skin. Mum chopped these bits off and fed them to the dogs. The rest she made the stew with.**

**Next week we are shearing. Can I borrow your old** **shearing blades? I have a new stone to sharpen them. I hope I’ll beat my old tally and clip at least 15 before lunch? At 1 shilling per hour I should have enough money to buy some chook feed.** **I will ride over tomorrow to pick up the blades.**

**Love from** **Bri**
