The Christmas Present Thief
I know, I know...it's now a bit out of season but Harry's story is GOOD, really worth waiting for!!
I wake up on Christmas morning exhausted because
last night I was so excited I could hardly even stay still. But I’m not letting
tiredness keep me down, after all it is Christmas! I run across the hall to my Mum
and Dad’s bedroom shouting “It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas!” Find out what happens next...here

Bella's Fears - Podcasts
The boys in Mrs Geraghty's class were asked to imagine they were Bella (from a story they read) who had wandered into the forest by accident in her quest to find the tastiest wild mushrooms. Her grandparents had specifically asked her to stay away from the forest as there were bears there. The boys were told that they were to be Bella just after she looked up and realized that she was lost and to write a paragraph describing how they (as Bella) felt. David Grealis and Kasjan Derewianyk both did an excellent job on this assignment and their paragraphs are presented here as podcasts. Enjoy.
