In the weekend on Sunday we had sailing lessons, that started at 10am and finished at 1pm. We had to stay to about 2pm though because we had to put the boats away. It started of raining before too many people came. but then it cleared for a wee while but then when everybody was out on the water it started downpour. after a while it cleared out and we had at least two solid hours on the water with no rain.

Reading task research sharks

Why am I researching sharks? Good question. I am researching sharks because we are reading the book Refugee for chapter chat. The book is about three people ( Josef, Isabel and Mahmoud ). There is a chapter for each of them. They are refugees trying to escape to a different country. We do reading tasks about it and one of them is to research sharks because there are sharks in two different story lines.
