Fo Guang Shan Temple Visit

The 22nd of May the year 7 and 8 classes of HHS (Hornby High School) got to go on a trip to the Fo Guang Shan Temple I was a really cool temple. We went to the man talked to us about the 3G4G he told us that it means 3 good deeds and 4 Giving. Then we walk into a room and a lady talked to us about the Buddha after the talk we made a special flower called the lotus flower.
My favourite part in the temple was when we watched a little video on how the Buddha became wise and tried to share all the 3G and 4G with everyone.

Christmas Food traditions

We are learning about Christmas traditions this time we are talking about food and what they leave out for Santa
In Australia it is very hot so Santa might want to cool down so in Aussie the kids leave him a nice cold beer.
In Sweden it is a very long flight to go right around the world so the kids in Sweden leave him a nice hot coffee to keep Santa for the rest of the flight
In Denmark they must love their rice pudding because that is what they leave for him.
Personally I leave cookies and milk for Santa because it is quick and easy to prepare

Christmas around the world

We are learning about Christmas traditions around the world today I learned that

in Italy they don't eat as much as other places. Because that is a special time of year for things like prayer it is also a time to remember the three wise men who brought gifts for Jesus
on January the 6th the people in Italy share their presents with the people of the town

I also learnt how to say merry Christmas in many languages like in:
Chinese Seng Dan Kuaile, Italian Buon Natale and in Mexican Feltz Navidad
they all mean merry Christmas.
Here is a link to a Christmas around the world link.

The Pigeon and the Walrus

This week we have been writing learning about opinion writing and we were reading books to choose from and they were Don't let the pigeon stay up ate, Don't let the pigeon drive the bus, The pigeon needs a bath and the pigeon wants a puppy that is the one I am doing.

The pigeon wants a walrus

“Wow! does that pigeon really want that walrus? Well I think he should have a chance to get a walrus to call his own.”

I think that the pigeon should get a walrus because it could be a really good body guard to protect the pigeon from the predators. But only the ones that want to try and eat the pigeon. Also the pigeon could train the walrus to call the other walrus to help the the bigger predators. For more help when the predators move into the neighbourhood. The predators might try to have a quick snack of KFP also known as Kentucky Fresh Pigeon.

If the pigeon wanted an excuse to get a bigger house. So that he could fit the walrus in the house so that the walrus feels comfortable. Also the walrus would need tons of room to lay down the the pigeon could get more and more walrus’s. So that he could have a second excuse to buy an even bigger house. The best is that the owner of the pigeon has to worry about the money problem.

If the pigeon were smart and I think that he is not he would make a…. Walrus army. To take down the predator and make the city predator freeeee. The pigeon could pick any of the house from a Big house to a  small house. Even though the pigeon has a small brain he could still notice which house is better for a walrus a baby could tell which house to pick.

In the end the pigeon could be a good friend and help the pigeon the pigeon could convince others to get a walrus.
