One tropical and sunny morning I went down to the seashore for a swim. I saw four tropical fish which I liked, but one stood out like a sore thumb! Suddenly it was swimming towards my face and this is what I did, "I kissed a fish and I liked it, the taste of it's big old fish lips."

A fabulous little girl was exhausted, she had woken up at 5:00 am. She seemed to be amazingly hungry, so she went to the kitchen and started to make herself a sandwich, but fell asleep on the bread! It was a hilarious sight! Her mother got up to see her little girl fast asleep and was astonished. She quickly carried her back to bed and tucked her under the blankets.

In class, as part of our homework, we had to present to the class a short presentation about who our idol is. So far we have had a wide variety of people as idols, from sports stars to ordinary people we know. Kaitlin's idol is Mark Todd, which is very fitting as he has just been in the news for winning Badminton for his forth time, after first winning the three day equestrian event 31 years ago. He also won back-to-back gold medals for New Zealand at the Olympic Games. Mark Todd thinks his new horse Land Vision has a good chance of winning an Olympic medal.
Who is somebody you respect and look up to as an idol? What makes you choose them?
In Room 1 we have four cockabillies in our fish tank. Sam brought us two at the beginning of the year and two more have appeared since then, one very mysteriously! Under the motor of the air pump in the tank is a sac of small eggs. I wonder if they will hatch? Do you have to have male and female cockabillies for the eggs to hatch or does it not matter like with some species? Who can find the answer to this so we know if we might have some baby fish??
