Painted my monkey. Actually I glazed my monkey. You glaze clay. It’s a lot like painting but apparently after it goes back in the KILN it will come out shiny. I am very excited to see what it will look like on Monday. I am going to take some double jam space biscuits to it for lunch.

We got to paint today. We’re doing stuff about our homes. We got to paint a picture of our homes and write about our homes today. It was cool. And then at the end of the day our teacher read us a story about his home when he was our age that he had written, and even showed us some pictures. It was so cool. Mr Tong comes from Earth from a place called China. That’s so incredible. He’s lived here for 20 years. 20 years is like forever! He must be so old. I bet he’s been alive longer than anybody else I have ever met. Joshua also had a really interesting picture and stories. He got to write about his old planet because he has just moved here. He’s the only Hippopotati at school so his stuff was so different from everyone elses. It was awesome!
