Sally the Supermum!!

My script about my mum Sally

There on the shiny wooden chair sat the magnificent SALLY !!! Her head down and her eyes glued to the computer.

Her face is an olive colour, her eye brows are not bushy but thin, and the eye lashes are dark brown, long and curved at the tip. Her eyes are hazelnut brown, she has a bright, cheerful smile and blushing rose like cheeks. Her hair is in a short bob with the colour of copper, hazelnut brown, light brown, dark brown and I think that’s all.

She wears magenta, merino tunic and underneath she wears a crisp white long sleeved T-shirt, scruffy jeans and khaki coloured trainers.

She walks with her arms slightly swinging at a slow-coach pace (compared to me!) She speaks softly with a sweet tone. Mum is quite short like me but she says “Good things come in small packages!”

27th June Homework News

Dear Sally, 27.06.2011

Before you came, we were learning about Kitchen Science ourselves. We were so excited when we heard that we were getting a guest to help us with Kitchen Science.

When you took us to learn about Kitchen Science we all wanted to go in the first group. The Kitchen Science was so interesting and fun. The hokey pokey was the most interesting one of them all.They were all so yum and delicious that I wanted to eat them all. The hokey pokey was scrumptious and also the best.

Thank you so much for spending time with Room 21 instead of going to work. We really enjoyed you coming with us to help us learn more about Kitchen Science.

From Ashleigh Bullen and all of Room 21.

Mrs Warren

Samantha L

On her stool sits, The Principal of St Albans. MrsWarren she is very furious but kind hearted and proud. Her face is strong and steady, her hair is almost black but remains dark brown, on cold days you would see her red and orange scarf and her clothes are all most as black, as a panther. She is more steady than a knight and looks strong marching away in the school.

Our Principal,Mrs Warren.

Mrs. Warren

The magnificence has struck the St Albans School community, can you guess who it is, it’s the amazing, marvelous, magnificent . . .

MRS. WARREN!!! She is our principal! She our ruler,our master. It’s what she is, she’s the earth’s treasure.

Her face speaks to us. The hair on her head is a brown a nice chocolate brown to speak lovely truth and her lips are like ripe strawberries! She is our sovereign of the school. We respect the ways she goes about doing her best!

She wears a black coat, black boots, black tights and underneath she wears a black and cream floral dress. The Mrs. Warren is ours!!! The coat she wears is buttoned up like an hour-glass. The boots she wears are like witches boots but not all scary or anything. The tights she wears are slightly see through but not completely, last but certainly not least the dress, this is what I think bea-ut-i-ful!!!

She walks the walk & talks the talk. She’s like an angel sent from the heavens above! This lady makes us smile & laugh she takes us through thick & thin through all the times we have. She’s gracious, she’s glorious, she’s great and she’s our leader. We feel proud when her excitement shines through when we give great work by our selves!!!

Mrs. Warren is the Principal of St Albans School, as she walks by a smile will come to her face every day.

Sometimes, her face can be full of shock and rage but at other times her face and smile is full with sparkly gold. Her hair is a very very dark brown.

She wears a black top with short sleeves she neck, also has a red scarf around her.

When she’s angry her walk is very sturdy and heavy but when she is happy her walk is bouncy and light.

Our Principal, Mrs Warren!

Mrs. Warren has short black hair and wears lots of black clothing, Mrs Warren walks swinging her arms, she is a happy chap, she is, she lets me write on the ground but Paige keeps annoying me by making silly noises and trying trip people up. It’s annoying!
