Today is a lucky day!!

Today is the 08.08.08. This means it is the 8th day of the 8th month in the year
2008. According to Chinese supersition it is a very lucky day.
Today it is also the first day of the Olympic Games in Beijing. Matthew brought three amazing items to share with us today that are related to the Olympic Games.
Firstly, he brought a collection of five Chinese mascots. Their names are Beibei, Jingjing, Huonhuon, Yingying and Nini. Matthew also had a suitcase with a framed, gold plated picture of the mascots representing all of the sports at the Olympic Games. Finally he also brought along a small Chinese toy complete with jewels!! Alice took the photographs of these special momentos.
Wow - thanks for sharing your interesting Olympic items Matthew!!

A couple of poems

Here are a couple of poems from budding poets in LC2.

VOLCANO
Powerful and strong,
Bubbling and destrying,
So desperate to burst,
To destroy the buildings
To get the magma out of the Earth and to destroy the
people at the bottom of me.
Yet I wish I had the chance to grow my
own crop, but I'm a volcano, that's why.
By Matthew H.

MOON
Bold and beautiful,
Bright and nightly,
I give light,
I come out at night,
I glide, I gleam and shine.
My friends with me in the night sky,
We gleam together, we have fun.
I am the moon, that is why.
By Rachael P.

Mufti day

On the last day of term we had a mufti day. You can see us in the photographs - one photo is a 'serious' pose and the other photo is a 'wacky' pose. Have a great holiday!
