My Favorite poem:

Getting a fish - Lachlan Boniface 

Why? Because the poem was so short and simple. It was about him asking his parents for a fish in a 4 sentence poem and the poem was made by Lachlan Boniface 

 A 7 year old boy. I think it’s very cute that a 7 year old boys poem got in a popular poem book.

beach cookout

On Wednesday room 8 went to the beach behind the Marist rugby ground. We went to the beach for a cook out to fill in our out door activities and to have a good lunch. My group had Breeana, Lily, Nevaeh and ethan. Our group made burgers and smoors for the dessert. To build the fire we needed to collect tinder and kindling. For our group it was easy to find kindling and tinder. To get our kindling and tinder there was a bunch of sticks behind our group. When we went over there and collected the stuff we were able to start our fire. We used matches to start our fire. Ethan brought the meat patties, salt and cooking oil. Lily brought the buns and the precooked chips as well as the frying pan beetroot, mayo and hot plate. Nevey brought the marshmellows and the biscuits. Breeana brought chocolate and plastic plates. Our lunch was great, I would definitely have it again.
