The next few months are going to be very musical ones. Ukulele, Music
Theory, Pentecost, Kapahaka and Marae preparation will mean that
music will be a very important part of our school work.
This week we would like to know about the music that you like.
What kind of music do you like?
What are your favourite songs?

From time to time some children ask to do there homework on a
computer, either as a word or publishing document. This is acceptable,
as long as it is not done this way every week. If you wish to print it out

My Poetry Poem
I started on my homework
but my pen ran out of ink.
My hamster ate my homework.
My computer's on the blink.
I accidentally dropped it in the soup my mom was cooking.
My brother flushed it down the toilet when I wasn't looking.
My mother ran my homework through the washer and the dryer.
An airplane crashed into our house.
My homework caught on fire.
Tornadoes blew my notes away.
Volcanoes struck our town.
My notes were taken hostage by an evil killer clown.
Some aliens abducted me. I had a shark attack.
A pirate stole my homework and refused to give it back.
I worked on these excuses so long my teacher said,
"I think you'll find it's easier to do the work instead."
