what games haven’t you played? what have you played? have you been playing math play ground ? what don’t you like on the games? what do you like on the games.
G’day Hudson,
You have caught Steven’s dreadful punctuating disease, perhaps you both need a trip to the grammar doctor for some treatment. Or you could do a proof read before you send your comment.What would you prefer?
Cheers Ellen
Ti kanis Hudson
mine is the drawing one do you know what it is? what will you do if you had no computer in the world and have no i pad or any think only olden stuff like in the nineteen hundreds
regards steven
Hello Steven, I’m glad you are thinking carefully about what to write. Can you also check that you are punctuating correctly before you send. I’m sure Hudson would love to read his mail accurately don’t you.
Cheers Ellen
Ti kanis Steven I will be so angry. What will you think if there was no ipad tv iPod but
just olden days stuff. What will you do if there was no cars and no vehicles. What if
you only spears and only making you own fire. What if you had no parents only your
self too Steven?
from Hudson.
HI Ellen
I think the useful learning sites are cool because most people in the world don’t know many sites so now that you’ve got the blog people that don’t know can now know more sites. Are you going to be adding more useful learning sites.
nice regards Finn.
Hi Tia,
Are you excited about finding out who our new teachers are?
What teacher do you wish to have?
Do you hope that Ellen can teach year fours?(i know she can’t)
Kind regards
Lili
