I made this basket for the school’s bikes.

I designed it by drawing it in my home-

work book. I then used my own bike to

check the size and shape of the basket. I

decided to make the basket out of wire

and wrapped flax around it. My daddy

helped me make it and I enjoyed spend-

ing time with him. I don’t normally get

the opportunity to spend time with him

because he is busy at work. It was fun!

6.

I went on my bike and I crashed on the deck.

By Kale B, age 6, room 8.

The birdwoman has a pointy black face and she is a fat blue

bird. She has toenails as sharp as a blade and she is as tall as a

tree. The people don’t go to the forest because she is too ugly.

By Micah F. age 6, room 6

Yesterday, after morning tea, Room 6 went out to the netball

courts to open the bike track. We sat down on the chairs. Then

Miss Hargreaves said how the workers made the bike track.

After that, Shar showed Jake and Reese how to ride the new

bikes and to put on their helmets. Then

Jake and Reese rode on the bike track.

I saw the blossoms falling on the kids.

They looked like hundreds and thou-

sands of sprinkles.

After the ceremony had finished, Room

6 got to have macaroni cheese in the

classroom. It was a day I never forget.
