Sophie's Christmas Story

Hi I’m angel Gabriel I’m going to tell you a story
Along time a go in city called Nazareth, a lady named Mary was baking bread, when a blinding light shone in front of her. It was me Gabriel angel.
When Mary saw me she was terrified. “Don’t be afraid I said I bring news from the lord, you are going to have a son,” I explained. “No that’s impossible, I’m not even married,” said Mary .
“Calm down, calm down, nothing is impossible for God,” I said
Soon she believed me then I disappeared back to heaven.
That night Joseph was having a dream. “I bring news of happiness”, I said. “Who, who, who are you?” Joseph panicked. “I am an angel, you must marry Mary, then you will have a son and you must call him Jesus,” I said, just then I was gone.
The next morning Joseph rushed to tell Mary the news.
“Mary I just found out the most amazing, news you are to be my wife, and you are going to have a baby we have to name him Jesus,” said Joseph. “I know an angel told me,” said Mary. And they prayed to lord.
Caesar Augustus, the ruler at that time made a rule that everyone must pay there taxis in city they were born In.
This was terrible news for Mary and Joseph. Because Joseph was born in Bethlehem, so Mary & Joseph had to go all the way to Bethlehem, and the baby was coming soon. When they got there all the inns were full. “Joseph, the baby is coming,” said Mary. I watched from heaven. I could see it all happening.
Soon a kind inn keeper let them stay in his stable. Soon baby Jesus was born.
Mean while in paddock close by there was a shepherd. Guarding his flock. In second I appeared in front of him,
And I said, “the king is born in Bethlehem,” the shepherd started to panic, “don’t be scared,” I said, my words are true, you will find the babe lying in a manger,” I said. Then lots of other angel started to sing glory to the lord.
Later that night three wise men were studying the sky. They saw a bright star, and they knew it meant a king was born. So they went to ask King Herod where the king was born.
“What? Who is this king?”
“There’s only one king here and that’s me,” said King Herod
“Where is he born anyway?” said King Herod
“In Bethlehem,” said the wise men.
“Go find him,” said King Herod
So off they went
When they got there the shepherd was there too. They gave them gifts of gold, silver and myrrh. Soon the shepherds and wise men left. But I told the wise men
To go the other way, and avoid
King Herod so they did.
Then I told Joseph to go to Egypt with baby Jesus and Mary
Boy this angel stuff is really fun but it’s also a lot of work. Anyway they went to Egypt because King Herod wanted to kill baby Jesus. So they went to Egypt and stayed there for two years until King Herod died.
Jesus did many miracles before he was crucified.

Sophie's Reflection

When I reflect on last week I felt pretty good at the beginning of the week. But then I got tired so on Friday I felt like sleeping. Because it was to long or a week it felt like forever. But I enjoyed teaching little kids. Because they’re cute. But when my sister came I was at hockey. Which I think is annoying because my sister didn’t go in the whale I think she would have gone in the whale with me. Even some year nines came. My friends next door came. They are in C4. I liked being in the whale telling people what I know.

Sophie's Acrostic

Dolphins are mammals because they go up for breath
On shores dolphins have been washed up when they get sick
Lake dolphins turn pink when they get older
People put dolphins in captivity for shows
Humans love seeing dolphins jump because they love the look
In marine parks dolphins do shows for people
Not many people hate dolphins because they save lives
Some dolphins save lives by pushing swimmers up for breath

Sophie's Letter

Dear Weekend Sun
I am writing to tell you about C3’s story. We have our own inflatable life size whale. So let me tell you how it all started we were all sitting on the mat thinking of ideas for our whale study. When Wades hand went up. He told the class his idea of making a life size whale. We made the whale and one day the whole syndicate gathered in the primary hall to look at it. It looked great. So feel free to tell us if you’re coming.
We planning to have a 'Whale Expo' in 2 weeks time. We hope lots of people can come to it.
If you’re lucky you might even get to go inside the whale.
