We need to celebrate Christmas because it is a really fun day and it only happens once a year.Christmas trees are for decorating so you should buy a Christmas Christmas is the day Jesus is born so it makes Christmas Jesus birthday.We get to open our presents from friends and family and eat dinner together.Christmas is so so special because you get together with family and friends.Christmas is a fun day because you can watch movies like The Grinch stole Christmas.

Christmas is when Jesus was born so we have to go to church and pray,praise and worship.Every year their is a Santa parade in Panmure or other places.I believe The gifts reminds us of the gifts the three wise men gave to Jesus.

The Tree Hut Treaty - by Ben

5/2/19

L.I:W.A.L.T respond to "The Tree Hut Treaty"by explaining our feelings.

                                      The Tree Hut Treaty
Today we read about "The Tree Hut Treaty" in the story Tia and Manaia had new neighbors who where right about their age.Tia and Manaia climes over the fence and asks them what there is your name the boy replied i am Jack and she is Crystal.After they get to know each other they ride to the tree near their house.They stop there and lay there silently after a while Crystal breaks the silence and starts talking.Then she says "have you reached the top before"Tia says " you will have to get a ladder to reach the top". My feeling for the story is that it was a incredible story about Tia and Manaia and there friends Jack and Crystal.I liked it because it had a good introduction and ending.
