Last day of School Term 3

So on the 25 of September it was the last day of school at Tamaki Primary School.
I was very excited because we won't have school for the next 2 weeks but because we didn't have to do any learning but just have free time, watch movies and eat lollies and stuff without getting into trouble.
But before all of the happens we had to clean out the old hall a cross the field from our school because on Thursday we had an amazing Production lots of our family came and loved it but when it finish their was a lot of mess and we had to take everything back to our school that was ours.

Once the hall was all clean we went back to our classes and started to clean up our classes and put everything into the middle of the room it took us awhile but it was worth it, Just as we finish cleaning our class the lunch bell rang. I was very hungry to eat so I ate and play and talked with my friends.

After Morning Tea we went to our classes and had a talk about who wants to go to room 10 to watch The Maze Runner or have free time . Lots of the year 7 students went down to room 10 and one year 8 came to room 6 to watch Home. It was a very funny movie, we ate lots of lollies and popcorn.
My favourite part in the movie was the part when they were in the car and Tip played the music and Oh was dance very funny.

At the end of the dance we just played games ate some more and then went to our last whole school assembly for term 3. Finally the assembly was over it was time for the holidays to begin.

SMILE

SMILE  by Raina Telgemeier

Smile is a book about a girl called Raina.

Raina is in sixth grade, She justed wanted to be normal like everyone else. But one night she went to a girls scout, after the girls scout she trips and falls while she was trying to having a racing with friends from her girls scout, severely injuring her two front teeth. What had been following is a long and frustrating journey with on again braces, surgery, embarrassing head gear and even fake teeth attached. And on top of all of that their was still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turned out to be not so friendly after all. Raina's story takes us from middle school to high school, where she discovers her artistic voice, finds out what true friendship really means, and where she can finally smile.

This is all based on a True story that I had readed.
This is a very cool book  after you read it and I wonder if you will like it yourself.
