Rory's Sports Report

This is Rory here trying my first attempt at the blog. I was very happy to see
Richard Pickup get King of the week this week, because he has been working
very hard this term. Also he is a great cub scout, we go together every Sunday
night to the 3rd Dubai Scopions.

Sports Report Latest ........... Thursday 30th Oct Swim Gala Kings Dubai School.
6 schools took place and when the Gala was all over Kings came second behind
JESS Ranches by ONE little point. !!!!!! The good news was that Hazel, Mathew,
Charlotte, Hannah and me ( Rory) all swam our best. Another good thing was that
our old class mate Lucy came by to cheer us on. It was great to see her again.
Next week we have another Gala away at another school...... will let you know the
results next week.

FABLES

http://aesopfables.com/
http://www.aesops-fables.org.uk/index.htm

A fable is a succinct story, in prose or verse, that features animals, plants, lifeless objects, or forces of nature which are given human qualities, and that illustrate a moral lesson (a "moral"), which may at the end be expressed explicitly.

In class we will be writing our own fables - so familiarise yourself with their style and format. KON
