Molly's Poem

Listening to the rain

I'm sitting here in the sunroom

Listening to the rain

Writing, writing scratchy pencil

Listening to the rain

The treehouse is soaking the flowers are drenched

Listening to the rain

The badmington net is swaying in the wind

Listening to the rain

The clouds are here the sun is gone

Listening to the rain

Beanos littered across the floor

Listening to the rain

The voices of adults, jabbering, jabbering

Listening to the rain

Droplets of water running past me

Listening to the rain

Pattering, pattering on the roof

Listening to the rain

A little red robin hops along past

Listening to the rain

WOW- flowers

This WOW! event was found by Emily.

  In 1936 a simple flower parade became the oldest and most celebrated flower show in all of Europe. Zundert in the Netherlands has hosted the show since it started and the town looks after an average of 50 000 visitors who come to look at the displays.

The creators use dahlias for the displays and they build gravity defying sculptures. The shows occur the first Sunday in September each year. Each float uses six to eight million dahlias.

Hello from England!!!!

Okay this is kind of strange seeing as I'm the other side of the world from Room 11 but here goes... The flight over was HUGE! We had to stop at Christchurch, Sydney, Bangkok, Dubai and then landed at Heathrow airport in Sussex. I thought I saw Adam’s dad on one flight because Adam said he left the same day as us and went to the same places, which is a bit of a coincidence.
It’s very sunny today but the day before yesterday we had snow! Unfortunately that was the day we all went shopping so we got a bit chilly. I'm currently at my grandparents house after seeing the other grandparents and cousins. We had a huge clean up of the garden yesterday [as we do every time we come here] and a huge bonfire on the dirt field. It was a bit strange having a bonfire because you're not allowed to have them in NZ.

We're going up to London tomorrow and we're going to an absolutely huge toyshop, which used to be the biggest in the world! We're trying to buy birthday presents for Mum and Dad because their birthdays are very soon.  On the way back from England we are stopping in Bangkok for a couple of days for my dad’s birthday, we've been joking around a bit saying we'll get him an elephant for a birthday present.

For some schoolwork and for a bit of fun I'm writing a story.
