Poem

The Gypsy Rover by Anonymous

A Gypsy Rover came over the hill,
And down through the valley so shady.
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

CHORUS:
Ha Dee Do Ha Do Da Dae
Ha Dee Do Ha Dee Dae Dee
He Whistled And He Sang 'Til The Green Woods Rang
And He Won The Heart Of A Lady
She Left Her Father's Castle Gate
Left Her Own Fond Lover
Left Her Servants And Her Estates
To Follow The Gypsy Rover

CHORUS:
Her Father Saddled His Fastest Steed
And Roamed The Valleys All Over
He Searched For His Daughter With Great Speed
Her And The Gypsy Rover

CHORUS:
Came At Last to A Mansion Fine
Down By The River Clady
And There Was Music, Lights And Wine
For The Gypsy And His LadyHe Is No Gypsy, M' Father, She Said
But Lord Of These Lands All Over
And I Will Stay 'Til My Dyin' Day
With My Whistlin' Gypsy Rover.

Camping trip to Broken Hill

It was a 10 hour car trip to Broken Hill and Mickey couldn’t sleep at all. She was in the middle of her step brother Dave and her step sister Kelly. When her dad stopped for a rest she still couldn’t sleep because of her dad snoring!

They finally got there; it was cold and windy in Broken Hill. They waited to set up camp in a caravan park. Mickey was in a tent with Kelly, Evan was in a small tent by himself, her dad and step mum were in the camping trailer together and Dave was in a yellow and blue tent alone.

Everyone had a rest for a couple of hours, and then had lunch.

After lunch Mickey, Kelly and Evan went looking for something to do. They found a games room with a T.V and a kitchen where they could eat anything they wanted to!

Mickey’s step mum called them back for dinner; they had some chicken and vegetables. For desert they had one small piece of shortbread and went to sit down on the grass to tell campfire stories.

A week had gone and it was time to pack up and go home, it was a long trip home as was the one going there.

Volcanoes

Facts:

1. Did you know that volcanoes are caused by the tectonic plates breaking apart from underground
to let the magma through.
2. It is impossible to tell when volcanoes are about to erupt.
3. When the volcano erupts the magma changes temperature and turns into lava.
4. After it erupts the lava flows down and bit by bit it turns into solid rock.

Some popular volcanoes are:

Mt St Helens
Krakatoa
Dimand Head
Kilauea

It's made from pure fruit - one more good reason why
I like Aeroplane Jelly, Aeroplane Jelly for me!
