The Spring

Something happens in the spring. I like going to get up in the spring. I am about to get warm in the Spring. I love to see water, trees in bud, flowers and leaves. Butterflies and birds are flying all the way to my house. Do you like to see water,trees and birds? I love to! Do you like to see something in the spring? I like to!

The Spring Contseret

(On Thursday night Jon’s school presented a spring concert “We are the World”, featuring songs from different countries around the world. Jon’s class joined three other classes in a rousing rendition of Australia’s “Waltzing Matilda”. Very sweet! —L)

I like going to see the spring contseret. everybuddy was at the gym. then everybuddy was singing a song called Walltzing Matilda. I like to see the rest of the spring contseret. everybuddy finshed the song Walltzing Matilda. I am about to sing the song Walltzing Matilda.

Note the jolly swagman sitting near the coolibah tree (blue billibong in foreground) about to get accosted by the squatter on his thoroughbred and three troopers in straw hats at far right. Not visible in photo: Jumbuck in tuckerbag. Yes, we know all the words by now!

A Horse

(Jon picked a picture of a horse for creative writing today. —L)

Horses go naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. People are going on a horse ride. I see a horse. Cow is the horses name. Horses galup. Do you like to galup like a horse? I Like to! I am about to go on a ride with the horse.

The Weadizced Of Oz

The staff at Jon’s school put on the play The Wizard of Oz. I’m fairly certain that Mrs. Bynoe played the Wicked Witch of the West, but got good reviews doing it.

I like to see the song Some where over the Rain Bow then Mrs. Bynoe was the good witch. The scare crow was singing If I Had a Brane in the play. I was in my favorite spot I was in the spot in the gym then I watched the play.

Catch-up

(The first story is an old-ish creative writing piece, done at the end of March. On the first day of the month we have a ritual of changing all of the calendars in the house (Jon has three; I have one in my office and there’s one in the kitchen. It’s a big deal ’round these parts!) In this piece his mind was elsewhere (maybe on flipping calendars?); the teacher noted he needed reminding about periods and capitals. —L)

Friday

(Jon has the background music from his Playstation game Spyro the Dragon loaded into iTunes, which he likes to have playing while he does his spelling practice. Mr. Multi-Tasker! —L)

The Computer

I like to go on the computer. I love going to play games but first I do my spelling with some Spyro music. After my spelling with some Spyro music I play a game called Math Missions. In Math Missions there is jump for toys and the subway. Then I love going to the next game.

Grandpa’s Birthday Party


(This was written about Jon’s Grandpa’s (and Great-Auntie Marcia’s) 70th birthday dinner we went to a week ago. We went to Rodney’s Oyster House where Jon proceeded to demolish a plate of steamed clams (in lieu of his favourite shellfish, mussels—alas, unavailable that night), a fish-and-chips entrée with salad, and a slice of a homemade, chocolate birthday cake (snuck in with the assistance of staff). Burp.—L)

Grandpa Suzuki was 70 years old.
Daddy brought in the cake and candles.
I didn’t have mussles I just had clams. and when Daddy brought in the cake and candles we startted to sing Happy Birthday. Then we ate some cake and The cake was yummy.
