Today we were learning to observe what’s real and what’s not.

This photo tricked me because I thought that this post was fake. When I looked closer, there was actually someone in the water next to an iceberg.]I was so confused because  how could a person survive in freezing cold water?

But when I checked from the Photoshop test site, I found out that this post was real!

 

Our Visit to Panmure’s stone cottage

On a nice fine sunny Tuesday, Room 6 walked across the road to the Stone Cottage.  When we got there we were greeted with a happy smile by Terry and Patrick. Patrick was the historian of the cottage because he knows a lot about the history of the Panmure cottage.

Once we were inside the cottage, the first thing that caught my attention was the  washboard. It must have been hard to scrub the clothes with their bare hands. I also wonder how they made soap to wash their clothes. 

When we entered the small kitchen Terry held this  weird thing up and asked us, what was it. At first I didn’t know what it was but then Terry said it was bellows. They were used to keep the fire going during the winter.

I was very interested to hear about the stilts that the children used to use to walk around on. They were made of wood and were high off the ground. They had to balance on them and these were one of their games they used to play.

Even though the stone cottage is so close to our school, I never knew what was inside. I really enjoyed having the chance to go there and learn more about Panmure.

 

My holidays

In the holidays, I had the most wonderful time with my cousins who came all the way from Palmerston North. When they arrived in Auckland my uncle picked them up from the airport. I was so excited to see them.

A few days later we went to the swimming pools and stayed there a couple of hours. We raced each other because we kind of know how to swim.

At the end of the holidays I was sad because my cousins left.
