Dolphin Stampede

We wanted to share this video with you all because we thought is was amazing. We have learnt about animals in their habitats and this shows you dolphins in theirs. We think it would be cool to see in real life. Have you ever seen a pod of dolphins?

BYE :-)

We have spent some time during maths this week playing basic facts games on the laptops. We really enjoy playing these and Miss Wright says that we all work together really well and are very focussed.

We were very scared. We screamed when Miss Wright came in I went over it was ok. I ate bubble gum I blew a big bubble and it popped and it was In my afro and face.

When I woke up something was on head maybe a afro I think it is a afro I walk to school and when it’s windy I fall over and The afro save me and I say I am keeping this afro and I am keeping the afro a long long time

I tried to take it off and it worked but then it just frizzed up again. I put water on it and it fell in my eyes .Ha I could not see and I accidentally went into the toilet I fell in the toilet hole and my feet was kicking at the window and cracked it open .I fell out.

I woke up and I stretched out then I felt my hair. I said to myself what happened to me oh no it is school photos.

When I came out of the shower then suddenly boing my enormous afro grew bigger and bigger.
I am ridiculous and hit my head on the table.



Then the complete next morning I woke up with my big huge afro lying completely on my bedroom floor. Then I wake up in real life and my afro … well, my afro d d disappeared. Then mum said, honey pot, wake up, its school time and your afro photo is today. I laugh ha-ha, I called.

Aaaah its school photos oh no I tried putting gel in my hair but it disappeared

It must have been the hand wash that we have. I took it to Mr J and he said it was the hand wash so he threw them away.

When I woke up I went aaaaaaaaaa. Why do I have to go to school?

OH NO... What's happened in room 17?

Something strange is happening in our room! We have all suddenly grown the most amazing afro's just like the 1970's. We have written about our experience and will post them soon....
