This post is for Mrs Morris she is a primary school teacher at Leopold who teaches grade four with another teacher Miss Jordan.

Mrs Morris has been nominated for a wonderful award which is Outstanding Primary Teacher Award.  This is no ordinary award you have to be the best in your profession to win this award.  To even get nominated is pretty awesome.  Mrs Morris will have to travel to Melbourne tomorrow night to see if  she has won this award along with some other outstanding teachers.

Today’s post is another fun post for instead of describing what you see in one photograph I thought it would be fun to do four photographs.  This time this post is about writing about the four photographs into a short story.  Your story must have all the four photographs as part of your short story. This my short and simple story. 

Jake and Victoria  decided to go to the beach to catch some yummy fish for supper. Mum said they have to be back by 5:00pm sharp. The weather was perfect for fishing because there was no wind and the sky was a deep blue colour with the bright yellow round sun shinning. When Jack and Victoria  arrived they flicked there fishing lines in the cool blue water hoping to catch some fish for dinner. They both fished for about an hour but no fish nibbled on there fishing  lines. Victoria suggested that they should try fishing further down the beach which  Jake thought it was an awesome suggestion. As, they walked they came across a boat  to their surprise they found a number of different coloured  fish  in the boat however not just any fish but hand knitted ones.  They were pretty happy with that catch and decided to take this catch of fish home.  As they walked home they noticed a beautiful sunset to finish the day off.

Today’s post is about a photograph taken by someone.  I remember doing this with Mrs Morris is Grade 2 we had 25 kids with different ideas to describe a certain photograph. Many people look at photos and pick out different things for example background, who’s in the photograph, expressions and what the photograph is about.

Here is the photograph that  I selected for this post. When I look at this photograph I noticed that the weather is rather windy, while the three girls are at the beach. I feel the three girls are at the beach because they have lost a loved one and it is a sad moment for them.

On Monday I received another package and this time it was from Mrs Hembree one of my dear blogging pals from Seattle (US). To my surprise Mrs Hembree had sent me a signed copy book called The  One and Only Ivan. Mrs Hembree also sent me a wonderful hand written birthday card.  Katherine Applegate is the author of this touching book.  Katherine Applegate visited Mrs Hembree at her school  to talk about Ivan and why she decided to write this very moving book.  Please check out Mrs Hembree‘s awesome blog, her visit from Katherine Applegate.

This is a book about Ivan the Silverback gorilla  who calls home a small cage in a shopping centre. Most of the time Ivan was alone people would come to the shopping centre to see Ivan.  Ivan can’t remember what it was like to live in the jungle with his family.

Mrs Hembree has sent me an amazing book which is unforgettable, emotional and moving.

Here is a book trailer of The One and Only Ivan.

Have you read the book The One and Only Ivan?

Would you like to read this book?

Every Saturday I attend a Musical Theatre group called Rising Stars.  Each week we learn a different section about what makes up a Musical Theatre production.  I have learned that a Musical Theatre is made up of acting, singing and dancing.  I have learned how to act, dance and sing.  I feel like I have really grown as a person.  In acting we need to all work together as a team trusting one and other, as well as encouraging one and other.

When our musical theater encourages us we feel a lot more confident to act, dance and sing.  Our class is not made up of girls but boys as well.

At the end of the year we put on a concert/play.  This year our end of the year concert/play is called A Thousand and one Arabian Nights.  We all got a chance to audition for parts.  I choose to audition for seven different parts.  We won’t find out what  part we have got until next week.  Until then we practice our singing, dancing and acting.

Have your  ever been to a Musical Theatre production before?

Have you ever taken part in a Musical Theatre?

Today’s post is all about poems/poetry.  Poems don’t need to rhyme for poems can be short or long.  You can write poems about anything you like for example baby animals, or even about yourself.  Writing poems is about having the passion to write and also having fun.  In Grade 2 with Mrs Morris I learned how to write an Acrostic Poem. An Acrostic Poem is when you write your poem using the first letters of your poem.  At home I own a couple of poetry books. Here is a poem from my favourite poem book. My favourite poem is called Centipedes I hope you enjoy reading my poem.

My cousin has written a magnificent poem and this is her poem

This is a very well written poem because it is about saving our environment. 

Now here is my poem which is about the Snow Leopard

Can you write a poem?

Do you have a poem that you like to read?

Today I received a package to my surprise.  It was from my dear friends Mrs Pfau and Mrs Yollis.   I first meet Mrs Pfau and Mrs Yollis about two and half years ago.  It was all because Mrs Morris introduced me to blogging and that’s how our friendship was built.  I enjoy celebrating Mrs Pfau’s birthday by sending Mrs Pfau a card.

When I opened my package I received a wonderful book called Little House in the Big Woods. I can’t wait to start reading my new book.

Also in my package I received a gel set of stickers of Easter Bunny which look amazing.   I am not sure where I am going to stick them but when I do I am sure they are going to look awesome.   As well I received a beautiful birthday card with a beautiful message written inside.

   Mrs Pfau and Mrs Yollis  you both are so very kind to think of me!

Tell me about your special friendship?

How did your special friendship come alive?

Have your read the book  Little House in the Big Woods?

Today is Easter Sunday many people celebrate Easter Sunday with their families and friends.  Many people also attend church to celebrate this wonderful day.  This day is a Holy day for everyone.   This is a time where many families and friends make it a point to get together.   Every year  I celebrate Easter with my wonderful family by waking up to see if Easter Bunny has left me any Easter eggs which he usually has.  

Also every year I go to my Aunty’s and Uncle’s house and celebrate Easter with a yummy BBQ.    Then after lunch my cousin’s and I have a Easter egg hunt where I tend to find the most Easter eggs.  A tradition at easter time is that  my nanna makes an Easter cake which is filled with chocolate in the middle of the cake which is  rather delicious.  This is a family tradition which I love!   After our Easter egg hunt we eat our chocolate eggs making sure that we don’t get to  sick from over eating our chocolate eggs.

I just love Easter and I hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter Sunday near and far with their families and friends.

What is your favourite chocolate?

How do you celebrate Easter Sunday?

It’s the end of first term of school and I am very excited.  I have had a wonderful first term with my class friends and teacher Mr Renkin.  My favourite subjects which I enjoyed learning about this term was  Australia as well as patterns and decimals.   I am so looking forward to another wonderful term when I get back to school after our two weeks of holidays.

So far my holidays have began with a bang, for yesterday I celebrated my birthday with a group of wonderful friends.  We all had a blast even though my birthday is  two weeks away.  I will no longer be a one digit number.  As I will be a two digit number which will be exciting.

These holidays I am so looking forward to Easter and catching up with  family and friends.  Hopefully during these school holidays I am planning to visit the Ballarat Bird World.   Also do heaps of reading and hopefully if I get time go to the movies.

I would like to wish you all a Happy Easter too.

What are you doing on the holidays?

Can you guess how old I will be on the 14th of April?

What do you like about been on holidays?

Today after school I received a parcel  not just any parcel but a rather special parcel.  It was addressed to me from Miss Y.     Miss Y lives in Melbourne and has her very own blog called L.R.C which stands for Library Resources Centre.  Last Friday Miss Y had a very special visitor visiting her school.  It was Jacqueline Harvey who is  one of my favourite authors.   Miss Y knew that I love the books Alice Miranda because she visits Mrs Hembree’s blog and I  mentioned this to Mrs Hembree and suggested to Mrs Hembree that she may like to get some of the Alice Miranda books for her library. Mrs Hembree has a library too and a blog  which is called the Bulldog Readers Blog which is located in Seattle.

When I opened my parcel from Miss Y I could not believe my eyes it was Jacqueline Harvey latest book.  I squealed with excitement and joy.  Miss Y even  got Jacqueline Harvey to sign my book.    This is what Jacqueline Harvey wrote.   For Bianca best wishes Jacqueline Harvey 2012 xxx.  P.S.  Your blog is amazing  I love it.

I also received a wonderful book mark with all the Alice Miranda books on the book mark.    Miss Y also wrote a beautiful hand written letter.

A huge thank you Miss Y for thinking of me and sending me this amazing gift and also a huge thank you to Jacqueline Harvey for  making my day by signing my very own copy of Alice Miranda in New York.   This is something that I will never forget and I will treasure this for the rest of my life.
