Hi Room 10

Hello Room 10. Well we arrived safley in Coolangatter Yesterday. We had a really smooth flight. Once we had gone through all of the passport checks and got our bags we finally got out of the airport and onto our bus. It was about a 20 minute bus drive from Coolangatter airport to our hotel. When we got checked in and everything, to get to our room we had to go past the swimming pool. The pool looked so refreshing in the very hot heat that felt like 38 degrees. Whe we got to our room we basically just dumped our bags got into our sswimming togs and went down to the pool for a well needed swim. The water was so refreshing and I loved it so much. After we had had a swim we came back up to our room we got changed and went to the shopping mall to get some food sshopping for tea tonight and just to have a look around. We had to catch the bus to the mall because we had a bus ticket to just show the bus driver and he would let us on. After we had done our shop we went back to the bus stop to catch another bus home. We unpacked our shopping and went straight back into the pool. Well today Callum and Archie woke up about half past 4 which in NZ time would be 7 o' clock because we are 3 hours behind. They couldn't get back to sleep so they did a bit of reading and colouring. Then they went swimming in the pool again. Today we also had a good walk on the beach were the water was very warm compared to the Riverton water. Then on the way back we walked along the high street. Mum bought us an ice - cream from Baskin Robbins which is a really big ice - cream store. We got to big scoop of ice - cream of our choice of what the had. Tonight we had and are having a big thunder storm. It started South and then has been working it's way up here. It is really scary because we are having forksss of lightning. It started off as just sky lightning but then it turned worse. Archie got really scared and so did I because when we were in England once we took barney ( Our Dog ) out for a walk when it was the start of guyforks night and mum said that they have lots of fireworks to start guyforks ight and to finish so I and Barney haven't been the same since then. Well thats all I have to say for now. Oh and buy the way tomorrow we are hopefully we are going to Wet "N" Wild.

Buddy Reading

My buddy in Room 6 is Sarah. She is a wonderful reader, she always uses expression in all of her books that she reads. I am really proud of her and she also gets on with the work. She is a really thoughtful reader because when she is stuck she sounds the word out. She will go really far with her reading. She is also a level 17 good on her.
