I’m so excited this month, because, it’s my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! I am really, REALLY excited since it’s the first time I’m going somewhere for my party, not just at home!!!! I don’t know where I’m going, so it’s a surprise!! I’m not telling you who I invited, because the other people will get upset.

I don’t know what I’m getting. I might get a Penny Board, football, a basketball hoop for the trampoline, a netball or a swing!!! I don’t know what my friends are getting me, all I know is that one is getting me a book.   Pic from http://robbiesblog.global2.vic.edu.au/

This post, as you probably know, is a post on my holidays. I know I’ve done a lot of posts on holidays, but they’re so interesting, most of the time.

Anyway, on the holidays my family went to Beechworth and Euroa. They are an hour apart from each other. Euora is a little town just off the Hume Highway. We stayed at a farm stay near it. It was beautiful! We had a lovely breakfast, I had egg and soldiers. We had a few rides in the ute and three wheel motor bike. But my favourite thing we did would have to be the walk to a nearby creek. We walked into a paddock full of cows. I must admit I’ve never in my life would have thought that cows can be really, REALLY noisy! There was one cow that kept coming a bit closer to us than the others. It was definitely the loudest!! When we got to the creek we were amazed at what we saw. A pretty big waterfall stood in front  of our eyes. It wasn’t a normal waterfall that just went down, it was one that had bumps in between so you could climb up the rocks to the top of the waterfall! It was an awesome stay!!!

Now Beechworth. Well Beechworth is a little town, a bit bigger than Euora, off the Hume Highway. It is one of though’s towns that still looks like its in the 1800′s and early 1900′s. So it looked a little like Sovereign Hill. My favourite shop was the ice-cream shop and the lolly shop. All the shops were in the one street, like a long hall full of shops! We went to the beechworth gaol were Ned Kelly was kept. It was sooooooooooooo creepy! There is a room that had something disgusting on the carpet!! There was even a swimming pool you could swim in if you were good! It was only cleaned once a week! imagine swimming in a pool that probably hadn’t been cleaned for a week! Nasty! We also went on a little walk along a nature walk. We didn’t go all the way, it was to far! We had alot of fun!

So now you can see that I had a brilliant holiday! Thanks to all the people who hosted us, we all loved it!! 

Ever wondered what happened to Jacqueline Harvey? Well, one of the things she did was going around victoria to schools and book shops. And she went to one near me!!! And I saw her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was amazing! Jacqueline Harvey told us all about how to be a good author, about what she does when she writes, tells us about Alice-Miranda and Clementine-Rose and answers some questions from the visitors.

My Favourite bit was when she was sign all my books and I told her that she comment on my blog( If you want to see it go to the post Alice-Miranda At Sea and look at the comments) so I got a photo with her and it’s on her blog under ‘A wonderful week meeting friends in Melbourne and Geelong’! Here’s her website:  http://alice-miranda.blogspot.com.au/

Thankyou for coming Jacqueline Harvey.

                                                  I Loved meeting you                                        

Six words. In a sentence. Why? Or more appropriately, What? A six word memoir is six words describing your life. It could be memories, or about someone or something like that.

As I said, a six word memoir is six words describing your life. We are up to the stage of publishing our memoirs on a A4 piece of paper. You can write your memoir anywhere on the piece pf paper, just as long as you can see it! You can add pictures on the paper that describe your memoir. So if my memoir was about nature, you could draw some trees and bushes. I did two, the first ’Why Did You Have To Go? And the second, ‘ I Really Love My Life, Alot.’  Here’s one from a famous author Ernest Hemingway:

 I know, mines not as good, but it was worth a try!

This is the Boss Of The Pool. Me. No. Boss of the Pool is book the 3\4′s Are Reading at the moment.

Boss of the Pool is a book about a girl called Shelly, a mean, selfish, jealous girl and her ‘friend’, Ben. Ben is a nice boy, about fifteen or sixteen, who loves Shelly. Even though Shelly is really mean to him, and Shelly doesn’t like him, Ben still loves Shelly. Shelly’s mum, Anne, works at Hostel. Shelly wants to stay at home by herself, since it’s the holidays. She can either go to her boring next-door-neighbor’s house, Mrs Murray or go to the Hostel with her mum. She decides to go to the Hostel, meeting Ben. There happens to be a pool there, so Shelly decides to go to it. One reason is so she not really bored in the car, the other reason is because Ben doesn’t like the water at all. So Shelly can get some peace and quiet for once. Shelly suddenly gets Ben upset, so she unexpectedly helps Ben play in the water by himself. Unfortunately, we haven’t read any more, but I’ll edit this post as soon as we do.

The 3\4 student teacher, Miss Marmo is reading the book, and doing an absolutely brilliant job of it!

You know how we had holidays for FIVE WHOLE WEEKS or something, well, it’s over!!!!!!!!

This is our first week at school and we’ve gotten of to a good start. I’m in grade four, with the grade three’s to look after me.( Or is it the other way around!) My teacher is Mrs V. She is a lovely teacher and I had her for half of prep. I’ve got alot of friends, but a bit disappointed that my friend, Lucy( From Jump, sit, stay @ Lucy’s Blog.) is not in my class. If your wondering, what’s Mrs Murphy doing. Well she’s going to be in all the 3\6  class rooms. She’ll still be on her class blog.

Now that I’ve told you about school so far, so here’s some high-lights from the holidays. I the first highlight is going to Luna Park in Melbourne. I went on the Scenic Railway! The Scenic Railway is a roller coaster that goes around all of Luna park. It’s almost a Kilometre long  and the oldest continually operating roller coaster in the WORLD!!!!! In other words, oldest running roller coaster in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hated it and loved it and petrified of it and had fun all at the same time! That’s alot of feelings! The Second was going to Melbourne then Sale then Melbourne then home. Here’s how we went: First my sisters and I went to Melbourne with our nanna to her house for three days. We played in lots of parks and had so much fun. Then we went to Sale with mum. Sale is a town near a few other towns such as Heyfield and Traralgon. In other words, in the middle of nowhere. You just drive on the Princess Hwy untill you get to Sale. We went to Sale because of my best friend, Ella, that moved to Sale in 2010. We had a lovely time. We also vistited there school and a park near. Then we went to my other Nanna for about three hours then home.

As we arrive at the back beach at about five PM everyone starts to talk. Yes this is New Years Eve, at the back beach. Everyone is here, let’s get it started!

We have guests, a family of them. From over-seas! They’re our family friends, Tim, Katie, Lucy and Leo, aka The Clairsos. We only see them at least once a year, so this is exciting! Tim and Katie are the parents, Lucy the eldest and Leo the youngest.

When everyone got together, my sisters, Sabrina and Tessa with Lucy went and explored the rock pools, as it was low tide. The rock pools are a perfect place to explore. While they did that, I sat down, accidentally ate a few raspberries that were for desert and started to listen and talk a bit with the adults. Some was interesting, but some a little boring! Then we played a game of beach cricket. I was a fielder most of the time, but I was also a bowler and batter once. Although I was pretty good and bowling, I was terrible at batting! Then we had  something little to eat.Finally we all jumped off some sandy dune hills and to almost finish the day, we tried to scare the adults, but we din’t scare them as much as we planed! To finish it all up we all went in the rock pools one more time. By the time we got back it was almost time for the sun to set!

Where Were You On New Years Eve?

Do You Like The Rock Pools At Back Beach?

Yes, it is the holidays, and I love it and everything, but this is a fun thing, and really fun thing!

This really fun thing is a visit to Adventure Park. Adventure Park is a fun, watery, all ages family theme park. I has a heap of water slides, delicious food and even mini golf!!! It also has a new ride, the Wave Swinger. You go in a single or double set. Then you put a few buckles on and you will start to go up and up and start to swing a bit, and you keep swinging and swinging and swinging until it stops! I went on the Aqua Racer at least ten times!!!!! The Aqua Racer is a big, BIG blue slide that has five bump on it. The first bump is only little, but the last is much, much bigger!!!! You have these long blue mats that have a twirl at the end, and you carry them up to the top of the slide. Then you get on the mats on the slide, until you see a green light on these mini traffic lights. 

Now, you thought this post was over, right. WRONG! I also went to Luna park in Melbourne a week later! I only went on few rides there, but I still enjoyed alot. My favourite ride would have to be Scenic Railway. The Scenic Railway is a almost one kilometre roller coaster that goes around the outside of Luna park, so there’s a great view. But when your on the Scenic Railway, you’re not looking at the beautiful view that much, all you’re really worried about is the very first huge bump. Unlike the Aqua racer, the first and second bump are the biggest, so you get a heap of butterflies in your tummy, but you don’t feel like you need to vomit.( Unless you had million hot chips and donuts before!)There is a bit in on the Scenic Railway that’s in a metal tunnel , and it has a huge bump in it, so you’re going down a huge bump in darkness! There was other sides I went on, some because of my little sister, she’s only four. Like the Dumbo The Elephant ride( I forgot the name) and The Carousel. I also went on the Ghost Train, which my little sister could go on. It was really, REALLY scary, although I didn’t scream Over all I had the best two Saturdays in a row ever!!

Do You Like The Theme Parks?

  Have You Been To Adventure Park And Luna Park?

I know I’m really excited for Christmas, but I’m also sad about somethings too! Well I’m sad because Nathaniel, Bethany and Charlie are leaving the school!!

Well, first Nathaniel and  Bethany are leaving overseas, to America. I hope they have a great time there and make some  friends on the first day of school! They have been a great friends to heaps of people and will be missed alot! Luckily, Bethany has a blog so you can still talk to her on her blog, so here’s the website: http://bethanybsblog.global2.vic.edu.au/From http://www.worldwidereaction.com/smileys/pages/emotions/emotions.html

Now on to Charlie. Charlie has some very nice friends, is a very nice friend and will be missed as much as Nathaniel and Bethany. Charlie is moving to Denmark, but I don’t know where. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a blog, but he will be coming back next year for a visit! Lets hope you make some new friends pronto!

Here’s Jaz’s part. Jaz has been a friend to heaps, a great girl and will be missed as much as the others. She might not have as many friends as everyone else, but she sure deserves more! Luckily, Jaz isn’t moving over-seas, so if your lucky, you might see her around on the holidays! She doesn’t have a blog, but at least she’s not over-seas!! She’s definitely going to make at least two friends in the first two weeks at her new school!!!!

This is Abbey, a kind, thoughtful girl and a friend to alot. She might not be at the top of the popularity charts, but one day she definitely will! Luckily, she is still in the country, so you might see her here some day! She doesn’t have a blog, but as I said earlier, she’s still in the country, so she not on the other side of the world!!!! She’ll definitely make some friends before you can say ‘I miss Abbey, Jaz, Charlie, Bethany and Nathaniel alot!!’

Let’s hope they have the best school they could possibly have and have a great time where ever they are!

Are You Moving?

Will You Miss Them?
