OUR BIG SURPRISE!



We came to school excited today because we couldn't wait to see if Elizabeth from Inkless Tales had left a comment about the poem we sent her.

We had Naomi's and Ben's Mums in to help us put comments on our blog and 1G's and 6J's. When they asked us what we wanted to do, we said: "WE JUST WANT TO WRITE TO ELIZABETH"!

So they helped us add our ideas about what Elizabeth should call the poem about 5.


We kept asking Mrs M what time it was in New York.
We wondered if while we were doing Word Wall, if she was having dinner and while we were having our lunch, if she was reading her children a story before bed.

We sent Elizabeth an email. It said:
'Please look at the blog because there's something special for you on it.'

She posted back that she LOVED our poem and that she had a SURPRISE for US... but we had to wait. Read her full comment HERE!
(Just scroll down to the comments.)
At 2:55pm, just before we went home, the SURPRISE arrived.

WHAT A LOVELY WAY TO FINISH THE WEEK.
THANKYOU ELIZABETH, YOU MADE OUR DAY!

If you have more ideas about a title for the '5' poem, leave a comment about them too.

Hi Elizabeth, we love Elizabeth because she is lovely. And I like everyone too. And my family and the poor people and the whole world.

Hello, Isabella. What a lovely thing to say. About the poor people, I mean. My mother would LOVE you, since SHE thinks I'm lovely, of course, just like YOUR mum thinks you're lovely.

Aren't mothers brilliant?

I like everyone, also. Did you know that Isabella is a form of the name Elizabeth?
