Girls Should be Allowed to Bring Toys to School

We Should Have Cupcake Day Every Day

We should have Cupcake Day every day because cupcakes are sweet and delicious. We should not have Cupcake Day every day because cupcakes have too much sugar and are not healthy for you. I think we should not have Cupcake Day every day because it is very bad for you.

DESCRIPTIVE WRITING

A Bird’s Eye View

I love to fly over the Prep School. I can see a beautiful girl walking by. I can hear the Year 12 girls. I can hear the birds chirping. I can hear the Pymble farm animals! I can see the girls playing in the Riverbed. Vivien Huang, KB

If I was a bird flying over the Prep School, I would see children eating their lunch and playing and making castles in the sandpit. I would see green, green grass and girls playing with their friends and smashing the rocks to make powder in the Riverbed. I can hear girls playing and giggling!

Rachel Shi, KT

Flying over the Prep School, I can hear children laughing and singing. I can see trees blowing in the wind. I can hear children chatting. I can see children playing in the sandpit and the Riverbed. I can hear birds singing in the trees. I can see a lot of happy people. If I was a bird flying over the Prep School, I would see girls making lots of sandcastles. I would also see colourful play equipment with girls laughing and climbing on them. I would see bush turkeys walking around the trees and I would hear rocks tapping; tap, tap, tap. I would smell the flowers blooming in springtime. Olivia Birch, KC

I love to fly over the Prep School. I can see the Pymble puppy. His name is Archie. I can see a bird’s nest in a tree. I can hear rocks smashing together in the Riverbed. I can see a bird trying to get a worm. I can see girls thinking and working. Olivia Jin, KB

If I was a bird, I would fly over the equipment. I would see people playing. I would hear girls talking and laughing. I would smell fresh air, leaves and flowers.

During the holidays I went to Kimberly’s house and Mia came along too. We first had some strawberry ice cream then we jumped on Kimberly’s mum’s bed. Next, I played with Kimberly’s brother and her little sister. The next day we went to Taronga Zoo. I saw a little bunny and it was cute. Then I saw lots of chickens laying their eggs. After that I played in the park and it was the best fun ever. I really liked seeing the bees and the wombat at the zoo.

During my holiday, my sister and I went to Florence’s house for a play date. First, we ate fruit, it tasted delicious. Florence ate her fruit fast, but I ate mine slowly. Next, we wanted to make a parachute out of paper, but we ran out of enough time to finish. We wanted to play some cooking classes. Florence was funny being the cook. Florence said, “Oh you took the juice to the wrong people at the table.“ My sister brought a present for Florence. We all ate dinner at Florence’s house. Maggie Xing, KC
