According to Horrid Henry Happiness is...

HAPPINESS IS...
ruining Perfect Peter´s party
eating all the cake he wants
opening all the presents
eating with his hands
playing tricks on Miss Battle-axe
watching Rapper Zapper when he wants to
a Super Soaker 5000
playing pranks on Perfect Peter
being horrid to other people
making Vomiting Vera vomit
joking with his friends
not having homework
getting Moody Margaret to admit his tree-house is the best
getting the soft black settee to sit on
destroying his school
playing with his secret club, the Purple Hands
soaking Moody Margaret with the Super Soaker 5000
getting the best part in the school show
getting to his room and playing all afternoon
listening to rock music loudly
watching his favourite TV channel
smacking Peter
playing tricks on everyone
being horrid to everyone!

Happiness is...

This is from "Snoopy", a programme that was very popular when I was young.
Tomorrow, we are going to write our own happiness poem but thinking about it from Horrid Henry's point of view!!



HAPPINESS IS FINDING A PENCIL.
PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE
TELLING THE TIME.
HAPPINESS IS LEARNING TO WHISTLE.
TYING YOUR SHOE FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

HAPPINESS IS PLAYING THE DRUM IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL BAND.
AND HAPPINESS IS WALKING HAND IN HAND.
HAPPINESS IS TWO KINDS OF ICE CREAM.
KNOWING A SECRET.
CLIMBING A TREE.
HAPPINESS IS FIVE DIFFERENT CRAYONS.
CATCHING A FIREFLY.
SETTING HIM FREE.

HAPPINESS IS BEING ALONE EVERY NOW AND THEN.
AND HAPPINESS IS COMING HOME AGAIN.
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,
DAY TIME AND NIGHT TIME TOO.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.

HAPPINESS IS HAVING A SISTER.
SHARING A SANDWICH.
GETTING ALONG.
HAPPINESS IS SINGING TOGETHER WHEN DAY IS THROUGH,
AND HAPPINESS IS THOSE WHO SING WITH YOU.
HAPPINESS IS MORNING AND EVENING,
DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME TOO.
FOR HAPPINESS IS ANYONE AND ANYTHING AT ALL
THAT'S LOVED BY YOU.

Message from 5A to Nani

Nani,

We all hope that you come on Friday and that you get well today.
Have a good day with your doggies, Duna and Scotty.
Relax please.
Don´t worry about metaphors, we are going to study them tomorrow. :)

Love from 5A

Christmas is coming!

As you all know, Christmas is already under way in our classroom what with our Christmas pop-up stories for art, Horrid Henry mini-movie in drama and Secret Santa presents to buy.

So...

next week I am going to put up our Christmas tree in the corner of the room and there will be lots of little activities you can do to dress it when you have finished your work (well!) in lesson time. Remember not to wrap your present yet as we'll be making our own wrapping paper as one of the activities.

We could all go out and buy things for the classroom and for the tree but as I keep saying, I love to see how creative YOU are! You are all GREAT artists and I can't wait to see YOUR display for once. Let me know if there are any particular things you would like to make or materials you may need. This is your last year in primary so let's make it really special!

We will then have a Christmas party together where we will pull our home-made crackers, eat, drink and play games. Maybe you would like to plan the day with me. Let me know!!

Also, let me know as soon as possible if you are not here in the last week so we can make sure we celebrate with you too.

Can you tell I'm excited about Christmas?!!

Natalia, we are all so happy that you feel better. Rest tomorrow and then hopefully we shall all see you on Friday. Thank you for coming into school this afternoon to see us.

I was so PROUD of all of you today.
Natalia: for being so grown-up and letting Miss Ana know as soon as possible. Everyone else: for being so mature and patient whilst Miss Lindsay and Miss Ana made sure Natalia was ok.

Well done to everyone!
