The Long 'e' vowel sound

Trolley Monitors

M'

We got a new system with the trolley. If you put something away they give you a smiley face.After they give you a smiley face  then they ask you what your name is.After they ask you what your name is they put it in a box.Then at the end of the week a name gets pulled out at assembly and that person wins a book. The class with the most smiley faces gets extra play.

What Is the Bear Thinking?

My life is ruined because all the other statues are bullying me. I'm the new one here maybe I should go to my owner. But I'm too old. I'm a thousand years old. Maybe I should be a bully. 

By Zion

I feel sad because the other sculptures are making fun of me. My normal schedule is having a bath in the fountain and a morning jog. I am 21 years old.

By Luca

I feel lonley the other sculptures don't like me they think I'm scary and they won't come near me. I know I'm a scary animal but I'm not really scary. They always tease me because I'm wearing a jumper that's meant to be for humans.

By Tessa

I just got bullied by a leopard and six owls. They picked at my sweater and bumped into me. Now I'm walking home feeling very sad. 

By Sean

I don't want to be in the newspaper. I wish I was real.

By Lachlan

I am sad and lonely and I have a long nose. Did you know I escaped from the zoo. The leopard always bullies me. I like fish and chips. I am only 10 . I sometimes pray for friends and I will try to make some.

By Isaiah

I am not a good bear . Look at me I'm alone please give me a coin that will be for me to eat something.

By Braidyn

I'm sad because I don't have any friends. Why did I leave home? I think these children are wonderful. They take photos of me and feel me. I just wish I was alive like a human. I don't have any fish to eat . I'm hard out starving.
