What do you see at the seaside
Yesterday we went to JBR Walk in Dubai, there are lots of nice shops and a big beach.
On the beach we saw a play park, an outside gym, the Dubai Eye building (which will be the same as the London Eye) and a really big sand sculpture. We normally see a camel doing rides but it wasn’t there.
What is a Khim?
Last night we ate in a Thai restaurant and there was a lady dressed up very pretty doing Thai dancing, she was also playing a musical instrument called a khim, which is from Thailand.
The lady used two sticks made of bamboo to play the Khim which made a nice sound. It was made of wood and trapezoidal in shape, there were lots of metal strings in groups of 3.
My holiday in Dubai
Hello Rabbits class
I am having a lovely time here in Dubai. On Tuesday we went to Abu Dhabi to see one of daddy’s friends, we had a drink at Yas Marina where the Formula 1 circuit is then went to a shopping mall and went up a big viewing tower and had lunch.
Today we went to see a Mosque, a mosque is a sort of church for the people in Dubai. We couldn’t go inside but we did look round the outside. You are not allowed to wear shoes in the mosque and you have to cover your shoulders. The building isn’t old like Berkley church and there is no stained class and you sit on the floor. It is very clean and new. The men and lady’s have to say their prayers in separate rooms.
Then we went to the Burj Khalifa, it is the tallest building in the world. We went up to the 125th floor, it was very high we could see all of Dubai. Granddad was a bit scared and wouldn’t go near the edge.
It is very hot here and I am going swimming lots with my brother Reece
See you all soon, hope you all have a good half term.
Love Lara
Ava Standing!

Camping
I went camping at the weekend it was very hot! Inside the tent was hot when i got changed. I played lots of football and rode on my bike.My bed collapsed in the night and I ended up on the floor. I held a snake it was slimy it made me shiver. I cant wait until next time.
G’day!

Hello Squirrels
Hello Squirrels class.
It is great here in Australia. I am playing with my cousin Noah lots. My brother Rio tried to talk to some parrots but they didn’t reply! I love Hillarys, the beach and harbour and have been swimming lots. Eloise was a bit afraid at first but we have learnt to be safe in the water and daddy has bought us some floats. Hopefully I will have a tan when I come home!
Wales holiday
In Wales, we went to Caernarfon Castle. I made a medal. The castle was amazing.

I had a lovely time in Wales.

Rabbits Being Smart
We have been learning how to be safe when we are using a computer or iPad or phone on the internet. We read the story of Smartie the Penguin . Click here to read the story with your child. Smart has problems with unknown messages ,pop ups and unsuitable games. He learns how to deal with the problems “You have to tell a grown up and ask them to help you “. We learnt a rhyme to help us remember and we have made a Smartie the penguin to take home. Hope you enjoy our video.

On the next day, I went to @Bristol with Clark and Dylan. I loved it. At the end I bought a rock and a keyring.
Longleat Lights
On Saturday we went to see the festival of light at Longleat. It was very busy and we had to wait a long time to get in.
We went to the cafe first for a drink and cake. We walked around the lights my favourite was the dragon boat.
We saw Mrs Jeffery and Mrs James as we were going home. When we got home it was very late.

Christmas holiday show
We went to Dubai for Christmas and saw real camels on the beach. On Christmas Eve we watched a show on The Walk at Jumeriah Beach. It was a really good show, there was lots of singing and dancing.
Father Christmas delivered presents to us on Christmas day.
On boxing day we went to the Dubai Aquarium. There was a really big fish tank with over 20,000 fish, we had to walk through a tunnel with sharks swimming over our heads.
We did lots of playing on the beach building sand castles and digging holes for my little brother to sit in.
It was nice and warm in Dubai but when we came home it was raining.
Skiing
I flew to the mountains in Switzerland.
I went to Ski-school and my teacher was called Max. I love skiing.

See you all in the new year xx
Monday 19th October Day 6
I went to school with my cousin Ella and I was allowed to stay until the tambourine and then it was no boys allowed. We just looked at stuff and did some writing. It was kind of fun but I am older. When I got back I went in the pool with my mum and splashed her a lot which was good. It was a bit cold at first but got a little bit warm.
We went on a train to Perth town, we are staying in a flat in my cousin Ella’s house in her garden which is in cousins street in a suburb called Karrinyup.
In Perth I saw a cactus statue and had my picture taken, then we went to have our picnic and I found a water fountain which was really cool and different bits came up at different times in sort of squares but I got trapped so had to run through the water to get out then I got soaked. Mummy did her cross face and then laughed and then we went and bought me some new shorts and T-shirt. We bought everyone’s presents well not everyone’s. Mum still wants to get some more but daddy does not really like shopping much. We went to the Bell Tower which has bells from St Martins in England. The thought the bells were broken so gave them to Australia but the weren’t broken at all so Australia was very happy. We went almost to the top and looked at the sea. We were very high up and you could see the ground through the bars on the floor. I looked at the boats through a big telescope thingy which cost 2 dollars. I ran around in the park for a bit and found a whole bunch of baby green bananas. Mum did not think we should eat them and that they probably wouldn’t grow anymore.
Saturday 17th October Day 4 Continued….
After we gave mummy her present and cards on her birthday we went to Yanchep National Park. I saw loads of Kangaroos, real ones like about 10 or 20 or something. Some were babies called Joeys and sometimes I saw heads and sometimes I saw legs sticking out of the mum kangaroos pouches and I saw one daddy Kangaroo. We had a Barbeque in the park where the barbeques are already there and you are allowed to use them for free. I burned my fingers twice. I saw some baby ducks with the mum and dad and they did not like being close to people and 2 Koalas. Koalas don’t normally live in Perth because the food they eat does not grow here so they bring it to the Koalas from imports. I also had a chocolate caramel thing which was very nice. We came home later and went to bed.
Sunday 18th October Day 5.
I skyped Matthew today on his birthday and I went to a birthday party and I went to church and ate 6 sandwiches. I found a meeting room behind the curtain it was like a secret door and I found another two doors which were locked.
It was fun to Skype Matthew because I told him about Australia and the kangaroos.
Mummy and Daddy stayed home because mum was ill with a cold and cough.
The party was fun and there was a gym bus which is like a real bus that you can climb and stuff and there are little gaps to get in. Kind of like soft play a little bit but on a bus.
Day 3 and 4
Day 3 Friday
Today I went to look at a school called Deanmore primary. It used to have the same colours as Harry Potter but now it’s all new and blue.
Mrs Jo chatted to us and she was nice and the other lady gave us a tour and took us to the classroom. The teacher was very nice and told me the tyres in the playground were painted different colours because spiders don’t like bright colours so won’t hide in them also you don’t burn your fingers. The children have lots of fun playing and stuff. We are going to do the book fair at the school on Tuesday. It’s much bigger than Berkley and really fun. Then we went to Hillarys that is a harbour and we made a wish on spinning dolphins but it’s a secret what I wished for.
Day 4 Saturday
Today it’s my mums birthday and the babies are crying but daddy has gone with uncle Doug to get a car and we are going to see kangaroos later at Yanchap national park.
The Journey and Days 1 and 2
Journey Monday -Wednesday.
Hi everyone in squirrels and the teachers, I am in Australia and Perth. It took one whole day and night to get here. I liked the games and movies on the plane and watched inside out. I had my own TV which came up from under the seat. It was cool but you had to wear headphones. The babies had cots on the wall in front of mummy and daddy. It was past the middle of the night when we got here it was dark. Daddy left a suitcase in the car park and mummy was upset because it was all the twins clothes. They had to wear my cousin Hugo’s which don’t fit him now. We got it back the next day .
Day 1. Wednesday.
I stayed in bed until 12 o clock because of jet lag I think, then when I woke up I had some cereal then I jumped in the pool. It was raining though and mum kept on saying “are you warm enough? It’s a bit chilly today”. I was ok though cos the water was warm and the sun kept on coming out. We picked my cousin Ella up from school which has 3 massive swimming pools but no boys allowed.
Day 2 Thursday
We walked to the shops today. They are really big and up a big hill. I bought some new clothes with my money and mummy got me some too. I saw a Dr Who chess set and sonic screwdrivers but mummy said wait until the end to see if I have some dollars left. They have different dollars here to America but I have extra dollars now because my tooth fell out and the Australian tooth fairy came and have me $2. We went to the beach to watch the sun setting and I went in the sea with big water and also my legs got rough on them from the sand and water. It was really, really very sore. I had to take my shorts off and walk in my pants. I expect everyone will laugh at that. Then we had chips to get warm and got a taxi home. Oh and I fell over and scraped my knee, my elbow, my hands and my side on the first day but I am ok now.
New Sister
Ava Poole 1 week old.
hello,
here is my new baby sister,Ava she is very cute as you can see. In those pictures she is about a week old but now she is about a week and a few days.She was born with lots of hair and big blue eyes.
she was born on the 26Th of June on a friday because I woke up and went down stairs to have some bagels but on the way down I saw my grandma and jump I asked her what was going on and she said that mum was having the baby and I cried but a good cry. And that is my story of AVA! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Hello Everyone at Berkley School
I had a very long journey with Mrs Hirons going in a car, on a train, then on a coach and then finally an aeroplane. I had lots of sleeps on the plane and we watched lots of movies. Paddington Bear was my favourite and I had ice cream too. We could always see where we were flying on the screen and when we landed there was a camera under the plane to watch the wheels go down.
We went to Hong Kong first and it was very hot and rainy there. We then went to Australia. It was very exciting to go to School to get Jack and Ella and see lots of children. We have been to lots of beaches . We went whale and dolphin watching but we didn’t see any . This was at Byron Bay which is the most easterly point of Australia. We went to a place called Paradise point for lunch and when we came out there were about 30 Ferrari cars . I couldn’t choose my favourite.
We then went up the Q1 which is the tallest building on the Goldcoast . The views were amazing ! It has the fastest lift in Australia and you can watch a film of it going up and down while you are in it which is really weird.
We went for a walk in the bush to try and find some of my relatives . We haven’t seen any yet as I think they are hiding at the moment. We will keep kangaroo spotting.
I have been to football matches and netball matches with the children and Jack scored a goal and Ella’s team won 15-3 and she won girl of the match.
We are now off to stay in Brisbane for a few days and then going to Rockhampton where there is a crocodile park . I hope they feed them before I get there !
They are also filming Pirates of the Carribean here at the moment so we are hoping to go and see the film set and see the Pirates.
I hope you have lots of fun on your school trip to the castle and send me lots of questions and messages.
lots of love from
Mrs Hirons and Roo !

The Pumpkin Patch 9th November
I went to the pumpkin patch and went in the corn with Dolly, Bertie and baby Louis. I picked some cotton and went on the hay ride.
BRISTOL ZOO
I went to Bristol Zoo today . Mum, Dad, Abi and I watched two Lions pacing about in there enclosure we also saw fruit bats hanging around. Then I spotted a red panda eating some apple and mango while staring at lots of people. At the Gorilla enclosure the were being fed FACT: Gorillas are vegetarian. Meerkats were busy digging in the sand so Abi and I climbed into the viewing domes to get really close to a baby one, he was so cute! We were walking past a bird cage and heard a hilarious voice say “HELLO” we turned round and saw a blue and green parrot named sky. Whenever we shouted “BYE” he would shout back “HELLO” . My day at Bristol Zoo was really cool and I hope all the animals stay well.
SURF SCHOOL
I went to Longrock which is in Cornwall. I went to a beach called Poldhu, I watched some people learn to surf and then the next day Mum, Dad , Abi and I learnt to surf. First we warmed up by running around the beach, we dived into the sea to get ourselves used to the water and get ourselves wet. Next we learnt about something called a riptide and safety in the sea. After that he told us how to kneel up and I did it first time. Finally are instructor Keith taught us how to stand up and it was quite easy for me because the third time I tried I stood up it was really cool to be able to surf and I would definately do it again.
apple store trip
The apple store trip was funny because on the way home everyone starting singing we played on garageband we had partners I was with Billy the apple store trip was brilliant and we might be able to go back in march but it felt like a short day a very short , short day but everthing was like lovely games today we got mini apple cupcakes
Season is nearly over!
-
- SW champs
Well the season is coming to an end now with just one race left in Manchester at the weekend.
Mummy,Daddy and I would like to say a massive thank you to Mrs B. And all the teachers for supporting me with time off and to all my friends for your good luck messages.
So I arrived back from the world championships a little disappointed after I became Ill in holland and had to race with a headache, feeling sick and having a temperature, but had a great time and managed to get through to the 1/4 finals.
Since I have got back I have raced at the South West championships and finished 2nd. Well, Looking forward to manchester at the weekend and then to next season after a winter of lots of hard work.
Camping
I went camping with the Thomas’s , James’s and the Hirons. Last time we went together it was pouring with rain but this time it wasn’t as bad. One day we went to the beach but first we went on a big mountain of sand and after that it took us miles to find the beach but after a while we found it. Me ,Zoe, Abi and Elliot went in the sea because we had wetsuits. Yas had a wetsuit but she didn’t want to go in so she played with Polly and Wills with the kite. When we went back it was almost dark so we played on our bikes until we had to go to bed which was about 10pm.
Summer Holidays
I went to Wales in a caravan with my cousins. We played crazy golf but it was raining the first time we tried to play so we fitted it in another day. We went to Splash land, there were 3 slides one was called Master Blaster.
Then we went to Stratford upon Avon for two nights. We went swimming again, there was a hot tub that blowed bubbles.
On Thursday we went to Bristol to see Shrek. It was really good.
Here are some photos of my summer.
Leaving Berkley
I’m so sad that I have to leave Berkley. I will miss everyone, mainly the teachers and staff. I will miss Mrs Langton loosing her glasses and Mrs Pang laughing and giggling. But I know that I need to move onto Selwood. It’s nothing like Berkley….
Good bye Berkley 🙂
Our holiday
On Wednesday we went to Cholderton Farm it was FAB!
First we went into our rooms and we had to put our sheets on the bed, put the duvet cover and pillow case on. I wasn’t too good at that but that’s just the boring part.
My group name was SPLAT. We would always meet outside the house and we would do sound off. We all had a number and I was number 10 so Iwould have to shout ‘TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN’!!!!!! It was great fun.
When we where walking to our activities we would always sing certain songs. The leaders, Ellis, Kelly & Tom would say ‘it’s a repeat after me someone is it’ and we would say the same thing back and then they would begin singing the song we would have to repeat, we would do this all the way to the activity. For example, here is one of the songs, ‘I’m a little coconut lying on the coco ground, everybody steps on me that is why I’m a nut you see, I’m a nut I’m a nut I’m crazy I’m a nut I’m a nut I’m jazy. Called myself up on the phone just to see if I was home, got myself out on a date, I got a date at half past eight, got myself to the Butchers show, sat right down in the very front row, I’m a nut I’m a nut I’m crazy I’m a nut I’m a nut I’m jazy, I’M A NUT YOU’RE A NUT WE’RE ALLL CRAAZZYYYY’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
For tea that night we got to choose weather we wanted fish cakes or chicken. I had fish cakes. My favourite activity was archery, it was really cool. We learned how to pull the arrow out of the ground. We played a game where you had to try and hit red, yellow or blue on a target. If you landed on red you were going to Australia, if you hit yellow you were going to both of the Disneylands’ and if you hit red you were going to Spain.
I had the best residential trip ever and I hope the year 3s have as much enjoyment out of it as we did!
CAMPING AT CORFE
First when we got there we set our tent up and me Yas, Zoe, Hattie and Elliot went to see the goats.Then the next day we went to the shop to buy some sweets and I bought a lolly pop .And after we went to the farm and we saw some peacocks and we saw five of them and we saw some wooly pigs .then there were some guinea pigs in a shed and rabbits then we went back to the campsite. On the Saturday we went on a steam train into Swanage, it was really fun with everyone. We went to the arcade and won lots of 2ps and lollipops. I played air hockey with daddy and I won. We played on the beach on Sunday and me and William made a pebble boat. Then we went for a lovely tea and I had the biggest burger in the world. We loved playing altogehter in our van and tents and we had cooked breakfast 2 mornings under Auntie Jan and Uncle Gary’s gazebo. On Monday morning we were sad because everyone else had to go home. We stayed 2 more nights as mummy and daddy didn’t have to work and went to Monkey World and we saw some apes and I bought a squirrel monkey that I will bring to show and tell on Friday. On Wednesday we made friends with a boy called Josh and we played in the park with him and we went on the see saw and the swings. We came home on Wednesday after going on a ferry across to Sandbanks where we had fish and chips and there was a massive park which was lots of fun. The best things about camping is that we all played games together and we helped eachother out and I can’t wait to do it again. Maddie
Camping with my friends
Last weekend me, my friends and my family went camping . It was in Dorset and we camped on Norden farm.While the parents put up the tents all the children played on there bikes and scooters also splashed in muddy puddles which i called the welly wash.That night for dinner we had Mrs Hirons lovely, homemade pulled pork. All the children got changed into their nightwear also every child had a head torch so we played with the head torches on so we could see. I had a tiring day today but it was a lovely day as well!
On Saturday we woke up and ate a lovely breakfast which included: eggs, sausages, beans, bacon and toast.Once everyone was dressed all the children cycled and scootered down to the little farm shop to buy some sweets.After that we had a lovely walk to Corfe Castle. Later that day we went to a beach and got an ice-cream I had dairy milk chocolate flavour. We went to the arcade and I won 3 lollies and a dragon ornament. I had a pasty for lunch. Mum and Ruth made us spaghetti bolognese for teatime.
When I woke up Sunday morning I had biscuits in bed. We tried to catch the bus but it was so full it didn’t stop. So we went on the train and played on Swanage beach in the sunshine. My dad and I made a dolphin with sand. We went on the train back to Corfe Castle and I had cod and chips for my tea. We could see the castle from the pub garden.
I had a fabulous weekend in my wellies with all my friends and mums and dads…
