For the last time she waved good bye to her dad and he went off to war.

Sarah Says Goodbye

Waving goodbye was Sarah. Her father was going away to war.
Sarah was standing there still watching as the train whizzed past. She wished he didn’t have to go to war.
After a few minutes standing there, she decided to go home. When she got home she travelled into her lonely bedroom and started crying.
A day later she received a phone call saying that her father had died. Sarah was so upset that she cried all day.
The next morning she went to the war office and asked the people if her father was alive. The people said that her father died, but Sarah didn’t believe that.
Sarah went home and was surprised that her father was sitting in a chair in their lounge room. She was so happy .

Welcome back to Term 4! The last term of Year 2.

Here are some journal entries of  students in Year 2 and their adventures during the holidays.



The best thing about the holidays was going to Forster. When my family and I were at Forster we saw dolphins and whale. I saw a very very big whale jump and its whole body came out of the water. I just love Foster because at night when we are in bed we hear the waves crashing. Foster was the best part of my holidays.

By Ellise

 

The best thing about the holidays was that I went ice-skating. I went ice-skating for two hours and fifty minutes. I skated around the ice rink at least fifty times or more.

After ice-skating I went home for lunch.

I love ice-skating!

By Serenity
The best thing about the holidays was that I went to the movies to see Turbo. Turbo was a movie about a snail who dreamt of being in the Indy 500. His dreams came true when he was swallowed by a really fast sports car. This movie is fantastic.   
By Ian
The best thing about the holidays was when my grandma and I went to the Kiama Leisure Centre with one of my friends called Angelina. The first thing we did was have a swim in the young kid’s pool. Soon after we went into the adult’s pool. The adult’s pool was colder than the childrens pool. Acouple of hours later we went to the beach and had an ice-cream. I had rocky road flavour. This was the best thing about my holidays.   by Charlotte
The best thing about the holiday was when I to Bannisters in Mollymook. I liked Bannisters because the breakfast was yummy. I got to swim at the pool everyday. The best thing was going to the beach. By Ayden
