Today is Harrison's Birthday and his kind Grandma got up early this morning and baked 19 cupcakes for the children in Room 5! They were delicious and here is what the children said in their storywriting today:-

" they were sweet, delicious, scrumptious and I had yellow icing on mine, and Harrison did too."
By Anya

" Today I had a cupcake and it had yellow icing.On the icing there was a blue star, it was little and there was a sprinkle too. It smelt like a pancake and was yummy."
 By Jayden

Today it was Harrison's Birthday and in the morning we sang happy birthday to him. For brain food Harrison gave us a cupcake. I chose a cupcake with red. Every one else chose yellow or brown. On top of the icing there were sprinkles."
By Grace

We had cupcakes for brain snack. They had yellow, red and black icing and tomorrow it will be his birthday. There will be lots of lollies!"
