My Trip to Singapore

Last week I went to Singapore with my family on holiday. It was a long plane ride and took nearly 11 hours to get there. It was lucky we had tvs to watch.


It is very hot over there. It was about 31 degrees every day. We went swimming in our hotel pool lots.


We went to the Singapore Zoo. We got to feed the elephants bananas. We saw a show with the sea lion doing lots of tricks and it splashed alot of people. We also saw a show with cats and dogs doing tricks too. We also went on boat and tram rides there.






This spider monkey was walking around outside its cage by itself.






We went to Universal Studios. We went on alot of rides. My favourite was the river raft ride. My Dad and sisters got really soaked and it took them ages to dry out. My Mum and I didn't get wet at all. We went in the fairy castle to watch a Shrek 4D movie. We stayed there from when it opened to when it closed.

There was a lolly shop outside Universal Studios.

We went to Chinatown to the night markets. It was hot and very crowded. There was lots of shops and we bought lots of stuff.

Here I am by the Merlion which is half fish half lion. We went on a boat cruise that went past it.

This is the Marina Bay Sands building behind me. It has a boat canal running inside it's shopping mall. We went skating in the rink in the mall. The whole building lights up at night.

We also went to the Singapore Childrens Science Discovery Centre. There was lots of things for us to play with. In the afternoon we went next door to Snow City. We slid down the mountain on tyres.

We had to fly home overnight and it was hard to sleep on the plane. The food on the plane was gross.

I really enjoyed the trip!

ZumbAtomic Routines

In our class we got to create our own ZumbAtomic routine. ZumbAtomic is a DVD zumba programme for kids.

We also got to perform live in front of the class and then put it on film.

We had to bring some costumes and Video-Cameras to School.

I know we all had a lot of fun and all of us showed great effort.

My favourite part was when we got to make up the routines and I really do hope one day we will get to do it again.

Our Spur-Winged Plover

A spur-winged plover has made a nest on the top field! It has laid four eggs. The plover is also called a masked plover or a masked lapwing. The plovers were brought from Australia in the 1930's.

The Spur-winged plover is 38 cm leisurely and heron like in flight, with an upright walk and tip- toeing run, this plover congregates in fields of root crops.Its wing spur is usually hidden.We have decided to call it .By Katie:) and Elena
