Dear ITM

Thank you so much for all the watermelons we really appreciate them. Everyone loved them they were really juicy and refreshing they gave me lots of energy for the rest of the day. I really think the rest of the school loved them too.

They were really juicy and refreshing. The juice dribbled down my face and my hands were really sticky.It was some of the best watermelon I have ever tryed they were so yummm.            

Thank you so so much for letting mangonui school fundraise at your fishing competition. Thank you so much for the watermelons to thank you so much.

Beach Day

Fresh Wiped Cream

All I could feel were the waves crashing against my legs as I dove under the water. The smell of salt ran up my nose. All I could hear were people screaming as the wave crashed against them. The waves looked like fresh whipped cream. I tried to swim over to Mr Sedcole but the sand dropped under my feet. I faced the wave in shock it was giant!!! My mouth drooped I swallowed the salty water it was disgusting.
