however we need your help to find out what is going on. In classes we are talking about what bullying is and how to

activities, and opened the library up for chill out times under supervision. Naomi our new Social Worker in Schools

In spring the bear came out of his cave. The bear went

into the forest. The bear caught the fish but then the

bear dropped the fish. The bear came to a log. The bees

were in the log. The bees stung the bear and the bear

jumped into the river. The bear caught the fish.

By Brody O, RM 5, AGE 6 In spring the bear went to the river to get fish to eat. Mmmm. A bee came and started to annoy him. He jumped into the river. By Reese N, RM 5, AGE 6 I have some elastic and I got it for Christmas. By Leah K, RM 6, AGE 5 I got some cars from home.
