The following post is from Xayna. She did all the writing activities! Good attempt!

1. If cats have a country all to themselves, what would be the word to their national anthem?

I guess the words for their national anthem would be:   Salmon fish, angel fish, we cats eat any fish. We chase mice, run round and round.

As one nation, we march together and definitely, we stand for each other.

2. Do you know the details surrounding the invention of the ice cream sundae? Neither do we. But don't let that stop you: write a one-page play about this very important moment in history.

I guess that the ice-cream is called ice-cream sundae maybe because it was a person who had eaten ice cream on a special Sunday.

3. Come up with 10 new users with popcorn (other than eating it)

1^st: use as earplugs

2^nd: use for art and craft

3^rd: use for decorating iPhone covers

4^th: use for perfume

5^th: put in water bottle with water to make water sweet

6^th: play with it/throw at people

7^th: wipe your face with it

8^th: break a tooth

9^th: dirty the walls

10^th: sell it

4. Give three absolutely ridiculous, laughably false explanations for the sky being blue.

1^st: a helicopter flew pass the sky and the man in the helicopter splashed blue paint out of the helicopter

2^nd: there is blue air in the sky so the sky is blue

3^rd: people always draw a picture and coloured the sky blue

6. The items in your refrigerator have gone on strike and posted a list of demands (right next to the ketchup). What are their demands?

The eggs are on strike. They said

‘‘I do not want to be used for baking cakes!!

I want to be placed on a proper egg tray!!''

Task 1 (June Holidays Assignment)

Dear Children,

For the first task this holidays, let us start with something easy and fun.

We will be reading the book, 'Where The Wild Things Are', an award-winning children's book written by Maurice Sendak.

Let's watch the video!




After watching the video, let's discuss the following points in the comments.

1) Were you able to make any T2S (Text to self) connection? If you have, what is it?

2) Does this story reminds you of any stories that we have read in Semester 1? If so, which one and why?

3) Do you think the Wild Things were real? Why?

Feel free to bring up any other questions or thoughts you might have. :)




By the way, I am listening to this audiobook, Matlida by Roald Dahl. I love this book so much that I've read it about 3 to 4 times! If you are interested, you can listen to it here:



Enjoy! :)
