Billy Goat Two went over the bridge and the troll popped out of the bridge and the troll said, “I’m a troll and the second Goat said, “Go away!” “I want to eat some grass.” “The troll said, “I’m going to eat you up,” and the troll said, “I’m a troll, I’m a troll, and I want to eat you all up.” Billy Goat Three went over the bridge and the troll popped out of the bridge.                         

Stormy-Lee's Speech---"Should Boys and Girls Have Different Classes?"

"Should Boys and Girls Have Different Classes?"

I think boys and girls should be in different classes because GIRLS RULE and BOYS BULLY.

Firstly, boys and girls distract each other in a classroom. When they work together boys make a lot of noise and girls work more quietly.

Secondly, girls learn differently. Girls like learning differently and like drawing visual diagrams. Girls are better listeners. Girls like lots of discussions and enjoy talking. Girls pay attention more easily. Girls can intimidate boys because they learn things faster. Girls like fiction books as they like real stories about people.

Boys learn by doing rather than talking. Boys are not as mature as girls.  Boys prefer to make things. They are noisy and more physical. Boys like real competition and always want to be first. Boys like non-fiction books as they like to find out about things.

To conclude I think boys and girls should have different classes because my brother drives ME mad, like all the other boys.

Tiny owl and the Prickly Plant

Today our reading groups were learning to present a play to the class using phrasing, intonation and expression. We can read the text silently when someone else is reading their part in the play.
