It reminds me of a tree in the woods with lots of
flowers blossoming in the mysterious forest. It is a magical tree. It gives you
magical powers and gives you anything you want! It’s a tree that helps you,
teaches you , loves you – no matter what.

In the dark woods there was a lonely tree and that
lonely tree sat a lonely bird and on that bird sat a lonely nit. They all
wanted to be friends but were too shy to talk to each other so they just sat
there and didn’t do anything for the entire day. Days, nights, months and even
years they spent not talking to each other.

One ordinary day there lived a cute little boy. He
had the dream to play drums. His parents were worried he ‘d hit himself. They
always talked about how dangerous it was when it actually wasn’t. One time he
snuck into his parents room and played them. It woke the parents! They
kickedhim out of the house! It was cold when he went to bed and he had no
dinner. In the morning a nice lady was waiting for him to wake up. When he did
wake up the lady said “Oh my goodness. Dear child I thought you were dead! Have
you been out here all night. He nodded and said “drums” “Come home to my house
I have lots of drums for you to play” And so he did. He was then the happiest
five year old in the world.

In winter last year I went to the snow with my
family and we took pictures and we all had big smiles on our faces.
When we went
to Fiji we got to stay in a tent for a night and it started to rain and we all
got wet. So we went to our grandmas house and stayed there.

Three days ago a child (Song Kechen) went on a nature walk with his
class. On the nature walk they saw different animals and insects. The most
common one was a snail. To finish off the nature walk they drew some pictures
of what they saw.
