The Camping Trip

For three days a boy called Sam went to a camp called Cooba. Sam went to Cooba with a school group. He was in a cabin with seven friends. On Sam’s first day he was going to an activity of Earth ball. We had a big ball shaped as the earth. It weighed about 25kg. Sam’s Group carried this easily. They had to pick the ball up and walk to the end of the tennis court and back then throw it over the net. The opposing team had to catch the ball. If they let the ball fall then Sam’s Team got a point. At the end Sam’s team lost.

Then Sam Walked back up to the camp to have some free time. Sam enjoyed this because he could go and lie on his bed and rest. After free time Sam went to have dinner. For dinner there was baked beans on toast and lasagne. After dinner Sam had a trivia night. The questions were quite hard. Then Sam went to sleep. The next day was when Farrer arrived. The activities this day were Dune Buggies, Archery and the big swing. First Sam had the dune buggies.

They were hard to drive. Next we had Archery. First there was a circle then we had to try and shoot arrows into. Next there was a target. Sam had to count our points as he went. The team at the end had 129 points. At the end Sam had a large red mark on his arm from where the string of the bow hit him. Next was the big swing. He had joined the front of the line. But Sam went on second. The swing went about 50ft. Sam had the most fun he had ever had at Cooba.

The Hookman

The Hook

One day, in 1878, a woman was walking down the street and noticed a man sitting down at a coffee shop. She noticed that he had gone to school with her. She walked over and sat down. They were talking about all that had happened since they parted from school. The man, named Rupert, asked her wether she would like to go for a dive at 10:00 tonight. She said that she would love to come and would meet him at 123 Mulberry St in Galdagah. When she went home she put on her jeans and an overcoat then waited.

At 10:00 Rupert came and picked her up. They drove into a forest and then stopped at a clearing. They sat there looking. It had the beautiful view she had ever seen. Suddenly they heard a noise out side the car. The girl got scared and asked Rupert is they could leave. He started the car and drove back to her house. When she got out she noticed that on the handle of the car was a Hook covered in blood…

The day I worked at Cirque Du Soliel

One day I was walking down the dark windy street when I saw a stand. I walked over and saw a Music box glowing. I looked at it. Suddenly a dark mysterious man walked out. I asked him how much the box was. He told me that the music box was $5. I checked my pockets. I had only $5 dollars in them. I thought to myself. I should ask what music it plays before i give him all my money.

I asked him what the music box played. "This doesn't play music, If you turn the key three times you will get one wish." said the man. I really would like this I thought. I gave him the money and he handed me the music box. I ran back down the street and towards my home. When I got home I went and hid under my bed. I though what I would like to have as my wish. I thought about many things but the main thing that i would want to do is work in Cirque Du Soliel.

I turned the key three times and it disappeard. Then I heard a car pull up outside. I looked out. I had not seen this car before. Someone got out of the car and ran to the door. I heard a knock and then i heard my name called. I ran down the stairs and my mum told me at they were from Cirque Du Soliel. I got in the car and we drove towards the National Library. When we got there they told me that i had to go on the trapeze without a net.

I got on the trapeze. I swung and my arms started slipping. I fell down and down. I hit the floor hard. When i hit the floor I opened my eyes. It was all a dream.

Make Mine Slime

You can make your own cornflour slime to learn about fluids and viscosity.

What you need:

cornflour
food colouring of your choice
a bowl for mixing
water

What to do:
1. Pour some cornflour into your mixing bowl.
2. Stir in small amounts of water until the cornflour has become a very thick paste.
3. To make the slime colurful stir about five drops of food colouring into the mixture.
4. Stir your slime slowly, this shouldn't be hard to do.
6. Stir your slime as fast as you can.
7. This should be almost impossible.
8. Now punch your slime hard and fast.
9. It should feel like you're punching a solid.

What's happening:


Anything that flows is called a fluid. This means liquids are fluids. Fluids like water which flow easily are said to have low viscosity, whereas fluids like cold honey which do not flow so easily are said to have a high viscosity. Cornflour slime is a special type of fluid that doesn't follow the usual rules of fluid behaviour. When a pressure is applied to slime, its viscosity increases and the cornflour slime becomes thicker. At a certain point, slime actually seems to lose its flow and behave like a solid. Cornflour slime is an example of a sheer-thickening fluid.

We have honey, slime, tea, golden syrup, coke, milk, whipped cream, juice, tomato sauce, jam, water, yougurt

Invisible Script

Materials:


Twig
Cup
Lemon Juice
Onion Juice
Water
Milk
Orange Juice
Apple Juice
Pumpkin Juice
Soft Drink
Cordial
Vinegar
Heater or Oven
Piece of paper
Adult Helper

What you need to do:

Put the liquids into a cup and stir it. Then get a piece of paper that is not too thin. Dip the twig into a cup and then write with the twig on the paper. You will need some heat otherwise the invisible writing won't show up. you could use a heater or a oven. (If using the oven get adults help.)

What I think will happen:

I think that when you put all the ink on the page all the liquids react to the heat and they all will light up and you will be able to see all of the writing.


What Happened:


None of the liquids we tried worked.

Dancing Popcorn

Materials:

Water
Plastic cup
Popcorn kernels
1 Teaspoon
1Tablespoon
Vinegar
Sodium Bicarbonate

What to do:

Fill a plastic cup until it is 3 quarters full.
Measure half a teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate.
Add the Sodium Bicarbonate to the water and then stir it until it dissolves.
Add 4 Popcorn kernels into the cup.
Add 1 Tablespoon of vinegar to the cup.
Watch closely for about 2 minutes.

What Happens?

The popcorn kernels will sit in the water for a bit and then the bubbles will attach to the kernels and will start floating to the top of the cup and then the bubbles will pop and then the kernels will fall back down to the bottom of the cup. This will happen over and over again.

Poem

Once upon a time there was a knight who rode
over the hills,
and killed a dragon,
and set fifteen women free
from an enchanter who kept the prisoners in a tower
and found a castle where they could live,
and rode on to the desert
where two kings were fighting a war that never ended
and waved a magic shield over the battle
so all the soldiers stopped fighting and said,
"What are we here for?"
And then the knight turned and rode back,
through the desert, past the tower, over the hills,
and when she got home
she took off her armour, patted the cat and made
herself a cup of tea.

Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Man From the Snowy River - First Stanza

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses -- he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.

Banjo Patterson

The poem is about a horse that was worth a thousand pounds. Thhis horse had run off with wild horses and some well known rides need to go and get him back.

Once there was a tin. One day he was accidentally kicked into the river. He started to sink. He was nearly under the water when a hand came and grabbed him. The hand threw him over his shoulder and it hit a person walking by in the rib. This ripped his shirt. He stepped on the can and fell over and split open his lip. The man who had thrown the can winked at the man on the ground rudely and then walked off.

The Terrible Storm

One day when I was walking home along a beautiful sunny rode, it went dark. I looked up and saw the once crystal blue sky becoming a dark and stormy black. I started to run as a blue rain started falling and breaking on the ground. I was half way home when a huge burning tree fell in front of me. I ran left and took a long rode home. I ran down the road and a house fell in front of me. I walked into the rubble of the house to see if I could find any one that needs help.

I found no one so I started my long trek back to my house. I ran even faster now. I jumped inside my house. I ran up to my room and got changed into new clothes. I looked at my arm. It was bruised from all the hail that was coming down. I looked out my window. It was pitch black. I walked down stairs and sat bye the fire. I heard a loud ear piercing screech outside.

I opened the door to look outside. My dad was home and he had a bundle of something in his arm. He ran inside and went to see my mum. He gave her the bundle and then they both came out to me. My mum gave me the bundle and I looked inside. It was a dog. He was a dark brown colour and had green eyes. I took him out and started playing with him. He jumped up and me and started to lick me. I took him upstairs and dried him. I went to my long dark warm bed to have a sleep.

The next day I woke up and looked for my dog. I could not find him. I got ready for school and then I walked of for school. On the way home I could not find the tree that had fallen over in the storm yesterday. I looked around and found that the tree was still standing. I walked home and asked my mum whether she had noticed the terrible storm. She said that she hadn’t seen it. I guess I dreamed it all.

Writing:

One day there was a Monarch butterfly. She was a traveller. One day she was flying and decided to land on a poisonous milkweed flower with her beautiful wings. When she landed she laid an egg. This egg then hatched into a caterpillar. The caterpillar is now a larvae. It was now an insect. For one week he ate crunchy leaves and an orange. One week after the caterpillar hatched it turned into a cocoon which is also called a chrysalis. The patterns of his wings developed while he was in the cocoon. While it was in its cocoon he was blending in with the enviroment around him and no predators saw him. When the cocoon hatched it was tim for the Monarch butterflies to migrate and he had his first flight.

Poem

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

This poem is talking about how some great things will always have to end sometime.

Monarch Butterfly Cloze exercise

The Monarch butterfly is a very interesting creature. Its colours are amazing with black and orange and its ability to eat milkweed is unbelievable. These are just some of the many things of the Monarch butterfly.

When it migrates it can cover 128 km and it can reach up to speeds of 18 km an hour. These insects migrate to warmer places over the winter because it is more comfortable.

When flying it travels 5 - 6 metres above the Earth’s ground. This is about the height of 2 and a half Mr Mcs. Although it can’t go above the ground when it is a caterpillar, it truly is a magnificent sight.

Once there was a panda. This panda was in a picture and next to the panda was a person. People kept on walking past this picture and starting to punch the person next to the panda. Now this person's arms were pink and purple. One day a man decided that he would take this picture and hang it in his house. The man did this and they all lived happily ever after.

Poem

if there are any heavens my mother will(all by herself)have
one. It will not be a pansy heaven nor
a fragile heaven of lilies-of-the-valley but
it will be a heaven of blackred roses

I think that this bit of the poem is saying that if there is a heaven that her mother will have one all to herself and it will not be very pretty but it is what her mother likes.

Invisible Script

Ingredients:


Cola drink (diluted)
Honey (diluted)
Lemon, apple or orange juice
Milk
Onion juice
Soap water
Sugar solution
Vinegar

Some inks are developed by heat.

You could use a oven, blow drier or maybe even a fire. If it works it will probably turn brown. Adults need to do the heating!

I predict that none of them will work.



Ms S. put it under a heat thingy and this was the result:

The honey worked the best!
Next was the tea.
Then the coke.
The vinegar and the sugar water didn't work very well.

Once there was a rare sort of rain. It only rained this rain when someone's reputation was good. To get their reputation good they had to respect other people. One time when it rained they had to use a raft to float because it rained so much. The person with the good reputation reigned over the city for that whole day but there were rules. You could not tell people to do anything.

Robert Frost

As I went out a Crow
In a low voice said,
"Oh,I was looking for you.
How do you do?
I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)
That her little Bluebird
Wanted me to bring word
That the north wind last night
That made the stars bright
And made ice on the trough
Almost made him cough
His tail feathers off.
He just had to fly!
But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for the skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax-
And do everything!
And perhaps in the spring
He would come back and sing."

The poem is about a crow asking someone to tell Lesley that a bluebird, who I think was her friend, has flown south for the winter. Then he tells her to be safe while he is gone and that he will come back when it is spring and it is warm.

What I Believe

Honesty, trust I believe in this all
With kindness and courage we can stand very tall
To great plains and oceans
To see the true emotions

Together we can face whatever we have done
We live as one with peace and harmony
To see each other without fear or agony
All this makes me proud to be an Australian
With as many good thoughts as the colours as a chameleon

A Leaf-Treader

I have been treading on leaves all day until I am autumn-tired.

God knows all the color and form of leaves I have trodden on and mired.

Perhaps I have put forth too much strength and been too fierce from fear.

I have safely trodden underfoot the dead leaves of another year.

I think that he has been walking all over leaves. In the second line I think that he means that he has walked all over so many different coloured leaves. In the third line I think he means that he has walked on them to hard and that they have all been breaking up and losing all their colour.

The Mustang

I am a cowboy. One day I was walking along a dark and dusty road when I heard a loud but friendly neigh. I decided to follow this noise to see where it was coming from. I followed the dusty track until I found a Mustang in a pen. I walked up to the dark brown coloured horse and started to pat it. Its neigh now was very loud. The Mustang rearing up and then the strong dark hooves hit the fence.

The fence made a loud crashing noise and the Mustang ran into the distance along the dark and dusty road. A few minutes later I heard a creaky noise. I turned towards the noise, a man with a long black beard. He had a shirt that was the colour of the sky on a hot day with no clouds. The man came closer and then he asked me, “Did you let my horse out?" I turned to the man and nodded.

He asked me that because I let the horse out, could I go and get it. I said that I would. I walked back down that dusty black road until I came to a fork in the dusty road. I listened as hard as I could until I heard a sudden neigh to one of the paths. I ran for that path until I came to a city. I walked slowly towards a man sitting in a large olive coloured chair. I asked the man if he had seen a Mustang run through here. He said that it had headed towards the beautiful orange sunset.

I headed this way until I saw the horse trotting around a pen. It looked like the same dark brown coloured horse as before. I ran at the horse and then it started to run away in the opposite direction. The mustang came to a fence. The mustang stopped so I grabbed him. I walked back along that same dusty road and found the house. I gave the man back his Mustang and walked back towards the sunset.

A Leaf Treader

I have been treading on leaves all day until I am autumn tired

Lord knows all the color and form of leaves I have trodden on and mired

Perhaps I have put forth too much strength or been too fierce from fear...

I have safely trodden underfoot the leaves of another year

All summer long they were overhead more lifted up than I

To come to their final place in earth they had to pass me by

All summer long I thought I heard them whispering under their breath

And when they came it seemed with a will to carry me with them to death

They spoke to the fugitive in my heart as if it were leaf to leaf

They tapped at my eyelids and touched my lips with an invitation to grief

But it was no reason I had to go because they had to go...

Now UP MY KNEE to keep atop another year of snow.

Materials:

A Plate

Flour

Four different sized rocks


What to do:

1. First put some flour in a plate.


2. Then get your rocks and put them in a row from smallest to largest.


3. Get the largest rock and drop it into the flour from about 1 metre.


4. When you have dropped it in pick it up carefully out of the flour and look at the hole.


5. If you would like draw a diagram of your craters.


6. Once you used the flour with all four rocks try it with sand.

My Prediction:

I predict that when you drop the rocks into the flour it will make a deeper hole because the flour is softer so it will have more effect than the sand because the sand is a lot harder and thicker.

I saw spring with my heart today:

A small girl, skipping, came my way.

Her Daddy's smile was on her face,

Her petticoat dripped fresh-torn lace.

A bunch of yellow-gold I spied

Behind her back - Oh woe betide!

Fresh daffodils! "For you," she said.

Plucked from my neighbour's flowerbed.

NAPLAN writing

The Light Kingdom

Once there was a boy. This boy did not have a name. He was a tall dark boy who liked exploring in the wonderful world around him. One day his mother said that they were going to go on a tour through Africa to explore. So the boy went upstairs and packed all his dark black shirts and all of his denim jeans and then came back downstairs. The boy carried all of his big and extremely heavy bags to the car and then they drove all the way to the airport.

They flew for about one day and a half and then they got off the ‘plane and called a taxi and then they drove all the way to the hotel that they were staying at. Then they decided to sleep for a bit. The next day they started their tour of Africa. They had started their tour outside the hotel. They started for the jungle. They had seen lots of animals like the king of the jungle - the lion. Then they asked their driver if they could stop to go to the toilet.

The driver said that they could only stop for about three minutes. So they all got out and then they went to the toilet. The boy heard the driver say that they needed to go but he was not ready and then he heard the car drive off into the dark and mysterious distance. The boy tried to run after the car and then the boy stopped. There was a fork in the road. The boy decided that he would go to the left and look for the car. So he started to run towards the left passage when he saw that there was a hole on the ground with some stairs.

He decided to go down the stairs and see what was down there. He ran down and saw that there was a whole castle down there. He ran towards the big and bright castle to see where he was. He ran as fast as he could and noticed that there were two guards standing next to the door. He asked one of the guards what was the place that he had found was. They said that it was the kingdom of light. The guards said that he could go inside if he liked.

He ran inside and then he heard voices that sounded familiar. He ran down and saw that it was his mum and dad. They said that they were caught when they had gone near there and they were thrown into the jail. The boy tried to pick the lock and free them but a guard that was passing saw him and threw him in jail. He had still got his pin that he was picking the lock with first and then he opened his cell door and then he heard the guard again. He closed the door on his cell and then waited for the guard to get out of sight.

The boy opened his parents’ cell and then was about to run out when he heard even more voices. He turned around and found that all of the other people who where in the jail were people who had been on the tours before. He opened all of their cells and then ran for the stairs back to Africa when he heard a yell behind him. He turned around and noticed that there were guards chasing them. He ran for the stairs and when he got there he saw a button.

When every one was through he pushed the button and then ran up and the hole in the ground started closing. He ran up and then he fell to the ground and noticed that there was a hand on his leg. The hole was nearly closed. He hit the hand off with his leg and then climbed out just in time. His mother said, “Let’s never go on holiday again and now you have a name. I will call you Brave."

THRASS

THRASS is a program to help people spell words. There are also some cards that we use for a game. To play we pick a card and then we say the sound and name of that thing. For example if the card was ant we would say “a” is for ant. There are two charts that say the word and have a picture of that word. It also has the sound in bold. I have been doing THRASS for about 2 years now.

We have the THRASS boards up on the white board in our classroom and we play the game and chant the words some afternoons. Sometimes we play another game where we get one person to stand up and face away from the charts and they have to say all of the words on one chart without saying one wrong or missing one.

THRASS stands for Teaching Handwriting Reading And Spelling Skills.

Fireflies in the Garden

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,

And here on earth come emulating flies,

That though they never equal stars in size,

(And they were never really stars at heart)

Achieve at times a very star-like start.

Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

I think that in the first 2 lines he is saying that the real stars are coming, and that the fireflies that are on Earth look like them. Then I think that he is saying that the fireflies are not the same size as the stars but look the same.

Fireflies
Fireflies are a bug that has a tail that lights up.

The size of a firefly is about the same size of a paper clip. In the world there are about 2,000 species of fireflies. Many species can be found in places where it is damp and wet. The firefly is an omnivore which means that it eats meat and plants. In the wild the life time for a firefly is about 2 months. The firefly uses its tail for light and also as a defensive mechanism. A few days after mating the female firefly will lay the eggs on top or below the ground. The larvae are commonly known as glow-worms. Male fireflies are the only fireflies that associate in Synchronous flashing.

The Fireflies light will have almost no heat. In some of the world they call it the lightning bug.

Dancing Popcorn

Dancing Popcorn

Materials:

• Water
• Plastic cup
• Popcorn kernels
• 1 Teaspoon
• 1Tablespoon
• Vinegar
• Sodium Bicarbonate


What to do:

1. Fill a plastic cup until it is 3 quarters full.
2. Measure half a teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate.
3. Add the Sodium Bicarbonate to the water and then stir it until it dissolves.
4. Add 4 popcorn kernels into the cup.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the cup.
6. Watch closely for about 2 minutes.


What happens?

The popcorn kernels will sit in the water for a bit and then the bubbles will attach to the kernels and will start floating to the top of the cup and then the bubbles will pop and then the kernels will fall back down to the bottom of the cup. This will happen over and over again.

Rocket Tea Bag

Materials:

1 Tea bag
Matches
Adult Supervision

What To Do:

1. Remove string and tag from tea bag.
2. Remove the staples and clean out the tea leaves.
3. Make the teabag material into a tube shape by putting your finger in it.
4. Stand the tube up vertically.
5. Ignite the rocket by lighting the top end of the tea bag tube.
6. Stand back!

My Prediction:

I think when the teabag is lit the fire will burn down and when it gets near the bottom it will rise up into the air.

I think that it will rise up because hot air rises and hot air will make it rise.

We had three tries at this and two of them succeeded. The first one fell over and burnt the newspaper and then the other two we stood up on Slinky’s book!

Under The Sea

Once there was a small joyous boy that loved swimming. One morning at 10:00am his family decided to go to the beach because they had just won the lottery. The boy was so exited. It was about a boring five hour's there but when it was over they loved the beautiful sandy beach.

The small child saw lots of fantastical and colourful signs saying: Fish Bait, Buy food here. Then on the hot sandy beach was a half buried bottle filled with some strange liquid. He ran up and started digging it out. Then he pulled it out and ran back to his tall family. They all took a bit of it and then decided to go for a swim.

Then he went under water and held his breath as long as he could and then came back up. Then a big sparkling boat coming towards him so he ducked under again but he couldn’t hold it enough so he let go and found out that the liquidly thing they drank must have let them breathe underwater. He swam all the way up and told his family that he could breathe underwater and asked if they would try breathing in the glistening blue crystal water.

They tried and then they could. They decided to swim all day. They saw a dolphin, a clownfish and a shark. Then when they came back up they found out that they could not breathe out of water for very long. So their mum told them that they would be staying in the glistening blue there for ever.

They were swimming for five hours when they found a big sparkling city. They swam in and saw mermaids. They decided to live there the boy heard a voice saying, "Wake up,Wake up." Then the boy woke up and found out that it all was a dream.

Coat of arms

For my medieval studies I did a Coat of Arms.

The activity I did was for the class to draw their own coat of arms. We divided the coat of arms into four corners and then in the first left hand corner in the top we drew a animal. In the corner next to that we drew a coloured pattern. In the corner below the animal we drew a flower and then coloured it. Then in the last corner we drew a illuminated script of the letter of your first name.

- And you did an excellent job with this! I am so pleased with all your hard work. Well done! From Ms S.

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree

Soak Some Potatoes

Slice a small potato lengthwise into several pieces that each have two flat sides. Place some of the pieces in one dish and the rest in another. Fill both dishes with water. Add two tablespoons of salt to one of the dishes, and label it "salt water." Let the potatoes soak for 15 minutes.Compare the potatoes. Is there a difference in firmness? Why?






I think that the salt water potato will go softer.





The salt water became softer and the normal water stayed the same.

I think that all of the pictures were too fast moving for kindergarten. The graphics in this show were pretty babyish and the pictures were all 2D and did not move.

Some of the vocabulary was nearly 6th grade level. In this video it mentioned smoking, drugs and firecrackers. The talking in this video mentioned too much information too fast. I think that some people will be a bit bored because it talks all the time.

It says that the video was made in 1992 which I think was a bit old-fashioned and I think that that is kind of bad. It is made in Victoria and has a Australian website but the voice over is an American accent. I think that if we kept it, it would be for 3-4 grade level but I don’t think it is very good.

No-Name Cow

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.



No-Name Cow says:
"Wow I love hamburgers!"

The moral of story is that if you have food at your own home and you don’t like it do not go out and buy fast food that you do like.

What I found in my teacher’s office…

In my teacher’s office I found… a fantastic sparkling magical city filled with little imaginary elves and sparkly flying fairies, my teacher’s small silly cat that loves to chew on her laptop cord that is worth a lot of money and all of the luscious magnificent chocolates that her tall sons have given her.

When I eat Smores I think of…

When I eat Smores I think off…

A firing hot campfire and people singing around it. Some chocolate, melting in my mouth.A crunchy cracker seeming to be from the sky. Melting Marshmallows that are usually hot when you eat them after they are cooked.

I love summer because...

This is my new meme. I tag KFC Rocks and Ms S and Ms C.

1. Do you go to the beach?
Yes I do go to the beach, but only about once a year.

2. Do you have a swimming pool in your back yard?
No I don't, but I really want one.

3. Do you make lemonade?
No I don't, we just buy it from the shops.

4. Do you go to a barbeque?
We don't usually go to a barbeque.

5. Do you run under a hose or sprinkler?
I used to run under it, but now there are water restrictions so I don't.

6. Do you ever sunbake in the sun?
I never have beacause you will get burnt.

7. Do you ever ride your bike in summer?
I don't usually, but I do sometimes.

This is what the sun used to look like.

This Is what it looks like now!
