SPEECHES

When I Grow Up…

When I grow up I want to be a cartoonist. If you are a cartoonist you can make comics, books and draw illustrations. I want to be a cartoonist because I love drawing and my mum and dad are good at drawing. I want to be as good as them! A cartoonist can also make things to go in magazines and newspapers. There is a famous cartoonist and his name is Charles Schulz. He is an American author, poet and cartoonist who has many of his cartoons published. My mum and dad inspired me the most to be a cartoonist.

The best part about being a cartoonist is being able to be creative and to use my imagination to create amazing things in my illustrations. Reyne Wang, 2B

Today I am going to tell you about what I would like to be when I grow up. When I grow up I would like to be a paediatric dentist. Both of my parents have inspired me to have this profession. A dentist’s job is to make sure people’s teeth are clean and healthy. A paediatric dentist looks after children’s teeth.

I think that this job will help the community by making sure that everyone’s teeth are healthy, clean and strong.

Diya Dhanpal, 2B

When I grow up I want to be an actor. I was inspired by American actress Dove Cameron. She is a very famous actress in the movie The Descendants.

I love acting because you can be different characters and feel so many different feelings all at once. Acting is super fun because you can learn how to dance, sing and do lots of things that you may never have done before. Another reason that I would like to become an actress is so that I can travel all around the world and see lots of new places. Carolyn Dou, 2B I want to be an author when I grow up because I like reading and writing. I want to be like Anh Do, Dav Pilkey and Roald Dahl. I would like to be an author because I can stay home when it is hot or cold. One day I could be famous and well known! Rosie Han, 2M

When I grow up I want to be a famous artist. I draw almost every day to make it perfect! My grandmother did a drawing with me for a competition and her drawing was beautiful like an artist. Karen Liu, 2M

When I grow up I want to be a tennis player because I like sport. This job involves playing tennis matches against other people. Ashleigh Barty inspires me to be a tennis player. Tennis is fun for me and it is a good sport. Chloe Morrison, 2M

In the future I want to be an astronomer. This job involves communicating and searching. I want to do this job because I love space and it is very interesting to me. The person that inspired me is Galileo Galilei who was the first person to invent the telescope. This invention allows astronomers to see space better. Ivy Pan, 2T

When I grow up I want to be a vet because I love animals. They are adorable. I want to cuddle them every day. They are soft and cuddly. Animals are amazing. Even though no one inspired me I still want to be a vet. I have always dreamed of being a vet and I wish my dream will come true. I’ve dreamed of lots of things that I want to be, but I want to be a vet the most.

Abigail Wu, 2T

I want to be an astronaut because I like space and want to learn more about it. I want to find out which planet is the hottest and the coldest. An astronaut’s job is to discover more about space and travel in a rocket ship. The person who inspired me is Neil

Armstrong who was the first person to land on the moon. Mia Pan, 2M

Bianca Ng, 2M I would like to be a veterinarian when I grow up. My job involves determination and lots of knowledge about animals. I want to do this job because I love animals and I want to care for them. A veterinarian helps animals when they are sick, injured or pregnant. Veterinarians also give check-ups to animals to keep them healthy. Stephanie Port, 2M I want to be a scientist because I can explore new potions and learn about people and how they work. Also because I can travel to learn and see things I have never seen before and discover how to cure very tricky viruses. But the real reason is because I want to learn and discover new sicknesses and animals. The person who inspired me was David Unaipon.

SENSORY POETRY

Eucalyptus

I see green leaves rustling gently. I hear the soft crunch when the dried-up leaves fall. I feel the fluffy breeze. I smell the unknown. Melody Chen, 2C

The Riverbed

Wow…this place is amazing. The breeze is like the wind. The rocks are so smooth. The flowers smell so good and fresh. The green leaves are so fresh as well as the flowers. The flower looks like it is kissing the leaves. I love this place. The powder is so smooth. I can hear lots of birds chirping. The Riverbed has so many flowers. The wind is blowing a kiss to me. Macy Feng, 2T

I can see people making all sorts of powder. Sticks are still as statues. I see flowers bloom in the sun. The wind sways with the trees. Did you know that if you are lucky you could see a butterfly fly past? I smell the gorgeous, beautiful flowers. The sun burns you as you run past. The sky is as blue as the sea. The birds sing in the tree like angels. It is like a jungle. Carrington Shelmerdine, 2T

Wow! This place is amazing. I can see trees, grass, flowers, fake grass, bark, leaves, powder and rocks. I can touch powder, rocks, flowers, soft grass, leaves, bark. I can hear the birds singing happily with joy and I can hear the wind blowing heavily like a giant stomping around. I can smell flowers as sweet as the sweets in the candy store. Wow! We are so lucky to play in this area! Chenxi Wang, 2T The trees are bending and the wind is blowing, like some relaxing music. The flowers smell like beautiful perfume. The fresh, green grass looks like shiny diamonds. I can hear the wind blow. I can touch smooth leaves, rough leaves and crunchy leaves. The Riverbed is a relaxing place to be.

Ivy Liu, 2C

The leaves are waving to welcome me into the Riverbed. The flowers smell very fresh and I can hear the wind making music. I can feel the soft powder on my skin. I can hear the birds chirping and playing. Michelle Xing, 2C

I see the rocks in the Riverbed. I hear a loud thump as it touches the ground. I feel the smooth texture as it touches my skin. I smell dirt and nature. Florence Cheng, 2C

Holiday

I taste delicious, cold cherry sundae. I see people running, children playing and people swimming in the water so blue.

The water is so calm and smooth. Keeley Wang, 2C

NARRATIVES – SIZZLING STARTS

“Crash!” went the waves on the shimmering sea of Fantasyland. But underneath there was something much more beautiful…the beautiful underwater city of Atlantis! But the people were not happy. In fact the leader, prince and princess were in the royal library trying to think of a plan. Why? Because Atlantis was rising. It was slowly going up to the beach, to the human world. Emma Popli, 2T “Chirp chirp,” went the birds when she went through the forest. Then she found an old abandoned house. She came in and the door slammed shut. “Ahhhh,” she called. Bats were flying in the dust and a noise came to her ear.

“Boom, bang, crash!” went the dinosaur. Lucy raced through the buildings with the dinosaur egg. When Lucy stopped running the dinosaur wasn’t behind her anymore, but eagles started attacking her so she ran as fast as she could. When she stopped the eagles were not behind her, but she noticed she was in a scary mysterious forest! It got darker and then she got hungrier. She slept beside a tree with the egg next to her.
