I am a Year 4 student at Paparore School School in Northland, New Zealand. Whaea Deb is my teacher. My blog is a collection of my work at various stages, across different curriculum areas. Throughout my time at Paparore School I may share draft copies of my work for feedback and feedforward. Other times I will share my final published pieces.

My Mum
My Mum has greenish blue eyes. She has blond hair and red streaks.She has whitish red skin. My mum is a super duper Mum.
She likes to message people on her phone and talks for hours and hours. She likes to have walks with us and I try to beat everyone. She always does yoga in the morning that is this om-mm om-mm. She always has a cup of coffee before we go to school and it wastes our time.
We make really big delicious fluffy pancakes together. We all so make chocolate chip cookies together. We have walks together too. My mum is the best mum ever because she makes the really really really delicious dinners.
