Pangkor Island by Jessica

Dear 2mm, I and my friends, Vidhiya and Sanghavi went to an amazing island called Pangkor. It was a great trip! First, we found our hotel in Lumut Coastal City. Our hotel was beside a sea. It was a wonderful sea view. After settling down at our hotel, we thought to go in a beach! There I saw a horse cart ready to go. There were many monkeys. I had a wonderful time swimming. Sanghavi had a tube (floaty) which was orange. I got to rent a floaty since I havn't got one. It was black and was a tyre. Both, me and Sanghavi had a tube and what did Vidhiya have? A life jacket. Me and Sanghavi went to the deep where the water got up to our chins. But it wasn't deep. We could touch the sea floor. It was time to go. Before we went, we got to go to a bathroom so we could bath and get the salty water away. We also had a little snack while everyone were taking there baths. We ate Twisties. Vidhiya and me saw a big monkey carrying some sort of food in its mouth. We came closer to it and....... WHOOSH!! We ran as fast as we could because when monkey saw twisties in my hands, it chased us!!!!! Finally it gave-up and walked back to its tree. If it bit me, I will get rabies. I'm not sure what it means but my friend told it to me. While I was eating, I saw a brown horse and a father and his child were on it. Soon, it was evening and we had to head back home.

The very next day, we went on a jetty! Me and Sanghavi were very scared of the loud sounds of the engines and the jetty shaking. We hold our hand tightly! ZOOM! Of we go and see the sights. We reached to the island. The taxis were pink and bigger then the ones we have in KL. We went inside the taxi and went of. First, we went to Dutchport it's a place whers Dutchs live. There were many great sites around in Dutchport. We even saw a shop. We had a look inside and saw many things. I wanted a keychain, Sanghavi wanted a bracelet. And Vidhiya wanted a hat. But there was no time to buy anything. We had to go and see the other sites. By the way, the taxi driver was waiting for us. After, we went to a Mandir where the Hindus pray. Sanghavi showed me all the Gods and all their names. After Sanghavi and Vidhiya finished praying, we went to a Chinese temple. It was tons bigger then the Mandir. There was a cat sleeping on a tiny mat. We saw the gods and all. Vidhiya handed me a some sort of thing that we need to light up with fire and wave it around the gods. Near the temple (which is is part of the temple) we saw a little pool for turtles. The next pool was with big fishes. A man was holding three mediem fishes. He threw it in to the pool and the big fishes ate it. The big fish are called Dragonfish. Next up was exitin'.... Beach Time!!! I found many beautiful corals and shells. We also swam. My brother Jose, is very exited of beaches a lot. After the beach fun, we went back to a jetty and headed to our island. We went to KFC to have our lunch. I went shopping with my family and the other 2 families were waiting by their cars. We bought many things from the island. Now it was time to go home. I had the BEST simply THE BEST holiday EVER!!

Jose's Birthday Party by Jessica

In June 27th 2009, My family celebrated my little brother, Jose's birthday. I invited all my friends in my apartment. They are Anagha, Sanghavi, Sheta, Vidhiya, Aditya, Rose, Preksha and Prakhar. Preksha and Prakhar are brother and sister.I also invited Adlin, because she is my one of my best friend living near my apartment. We had fun in Jose's birthday party. There were 2 games for children. First, there was a game to throw the ball in the bucket. The second game was taking a handful of coins. The one which has most coins is the winner. Anagha gave Jose a robot. Adlin gave an Aqua Doodle. There is a drawing mat and a pen. Dip the pen in the water and draw on the drawing mat. You can also dip your hand in the water and get your hand print on the mat. We had such a fun time!

Dear 2MM.....

Dear 2MM

Hey pals! Remember me? Jessica. Thank you for the farewell book you gave me. But there were

still 3 missing people. They were Aishwarya and Adlin and Anela. I hope everyone is having a good summer holiday. Way to go 2MM, for finishing 2nd grade! I enjoyed school and it is very sad for me to leave Malaysia and ISKL. I am still thinking, why should all the nice people leave? Thank you Mr. Marshall for giving every student in class the memories of 2MM. What I miss mostly about 2MM is All of you.

Good-bye.....

Life Cycle Play #3

Field Trip by Jessica

We took a trip to the Butterfly park. When we were inside, I saw 2 butterflies mating. It was yellow and black. Aishwarya spotted a butterfly laying eggs. When my group walked on, we saw some signs that tell more information about the butterfly. I saw a Duffer Dam Faun. It is a kind of butterfly. Later, we came to see some green butterflies spreading their wings wide. They looked marvelous. I spotted a brown butterfly camouflaging. Iona and Aishwarya couldn't see it. We came up the stairs and saw a butterfly walking on the ground. We saw its wing rip. I could tell, that butterfly is going to be danger because of its predators. Matthew saw a Preying Mantis up on a net. My group saw many chrysalis on display. There were shiny ones, and humongous ones, and I saw the smallest, tiniest chrysalis. Later on, we came to a fountain. There were fish and we saw a froglet! I also saw a tadpole. My group came to see the turtles with red and yellow stripes and giant shells and it had red eyes. When the whole grade two came inside the butterfly museum, we saw Giant Millipede, Jewel insects, Blue Morpho (it is my favorite,) Leaf frog, Green Mantis, Long legged Katyid, Man faced bug.

And in the Bird Park, We saw Ostrich, black headed Bulbul, Toucan, ducks, roosters, flamingos. When we came to the flamingo park, We came to a waterfall! We went on a bridge and suddenly, we were in the waterfall! My group saw a rainbow in the end of the waterfall. It was sure a hot day! But still, we enjoyed. Mathew, Iona, Aishwarya, Me, and Mrs. Hambly took a long walk to all the way to our bus. Aishwarya was really, really tired. She and me were tired of reminding of the droppings (which are the birds' poo.) and seeing all those droppings. In Dinosaur World, I saw a wedding. Well however, it was very, very tiring but IT WAS THE BEST FIELD TRIP EVER!!!

Life Cycles

I leant about Life Cycles in my class. It was about the Salmon fish. My partner, Maureen helped me, and I helped her. And there's something about the moth and butterfly. A moths' wings stick inside but a butterflies' wings stick outside. A life cycle begins again and again. Like a butterfly lays an egg, egg hatches into a baby caterpillar, caterpillar turns to chrysalis, chrysalis has a caterpillar inside, caterpillar turns to butterfly. So that happen again and again. The Swallow-tail butterfly and Lime or Lemon Butterfly look the same. But if you see the pattern carefully, they are a bit different.
I enjoy learning 'bout Life Cycles.

Mothers' Day by Jessica

It was 10th May 2009. It was a wonderful day, do you know why? It was Mothers' Day! I went to the church and prayed for my Mother. The priest of my church told every child to bring in their presents and give it to their Mother. The priest told that in 3rd May 2009. But the next Sunday, I forgot to give it at church. But never mind, I gave the gifts to my Mother in the morning. My Mother used one of my coupon. I had a great time with my Mother.

At Mitchell's B'day by Jessica

My brother Jose, and I went to Mitchell's 8th B'day Party. It was fun. My friends came there too. There was Adlin, Sophie, Anela, Masato, Santiago, Sabrena, Iona and more friends. It was really fun at Mitchell's party. Well, there was a bouncing castle, and it was really bouncy! Next, in the castle, there was a bouncy slide which you could slide on, and then jump or dive into the pool. We were not only celebrating Mitchell's birthday, we were also celebrating Mitchell's small sister, Elizebeth's birthday too. She is turning 1 years old. She was so cute! A clown came and did very funny things! He did magic too. The clown made a dice disappear! I had a water gun. I had fun with it. I shoot everone with water! They did the same to me. There was a very shallow swimming pool and there was a slide which went straight to the pool! It was so fun! I went super fast! Also Anela & Maureen. We went super, super, SUPER FAST! We got turns to be leader because we were holding eachother's leg. And one person should be a tunnel. Mitchell lived in a Recidence. The place reminded me of someone else's birthday party. It was Ryan's. He is from China and Iona came to his birthday as well. He had a swimming pool and a shallow swimming pool. Only he did not have a slide. I enjoyed both B'days but I like Mitchell's birthday better. It was SUPER FUN!!!
