The Wizard of Oz

Tomorrow, we have our production. I am a crow in it. We run around and do silly faces to the scarecrows. My favourite character in The Wizard of Oz is Toto, the dog, because in the movie, he's funny and he's cute. I'm feeling nervous because there will be a lot of people watching and I am feeling excited because my family is going to be there to watch me perform. 

The Blue Flamingo

Once upon a time, a lonely girl named Emma was running to a beautiful lake. The girl saw a blue flamingo. The flamingo was lonely too. The girl wanted to stay with the pretty flamingo. The blue flamingo was happy to see the girl.
One day, the girl flamingo talked to Emma. Emma got a big fright.
The girl said, “You can talk,”
“I know,” said the blue flamingo. Emma said to the flamingo, “ I will take you home.”
The blue flamingo got down on his knees and Emma got on his back and they went home.
The flamingo was cold at Emma’s home. The girl got a blanket and covered the blue flamingo. Emma gave the flamingo a hot cocoa. The blue flamingo got warm. The girl and the pretty blue flamingo became friends.

New Zealand's Olympic Legends

Go Kiwis!
During the Olympics, I watched the Olympic rowing. Nathan Cohen and Joseph Sullivan won a gold medal.
The 2012 Olympic Games were on!
In the rowing, the Kiwis were going fast at first, then they were going slow, but, at the finish line, the Kiwis came in first place. They got a gold medal. 
I was excited. The Kiwis got a gold medal.
