RALPH PHOTO OF THE YEAR COMPETITION

We had a "Ralph Photo of the Year Competition" at school. All of the Room 1 children got to choose their favourite photo of Ralph and enter it into the competition. The whole school voted for their favourite photo. The lucky winners were:

1ST = LILY



2ND = JODIE



3RD = CAMERON



The prize winners got a certificate and a chocolate fish. Ralph was a very happy cat as he got a chocolate fish too!

Our photo competition was lots of fun!

Ralph hangs out with Nick

Friday 31st October

Hi Ralph. Nice to see you again. It is the first time you've come home with me. My brother Sam has bought you here twice before.

It's Halloween tonight, but Ralph and I didn't want to dress up. Sam did though.

Saturday 1st November

It was really cold and windy today so we went to the Museum to have a look around. We got fish and chips on the way home. Katelyn and Nicole came for a visit too and gave Ralph lots of cuddles.

Sunday 2nd November

Sam and I went to a birthday party at Abordale, Mosgiel. My friend Fletcher from Kindy turned 5 but I hurt my neck on a bouncy castle and had to leave early as it was sore.

Here's a photo of Ralph and I taken on Mum's Camera.



See you next time,

Nick

Ralph hangs out with Aliya

Today Aliya and her sister Shontel had taken Ralph to stay at their Aunty Shirlee's house to stay with their youngest cousin Sjaam. They played games all day and all night. Aliya, Shontel and Ralph played on their cousin's bouncing castle. They had a really good time. After that they had tea. It was chicken fried rice. It was really yummy too. After dinner they all played more games. They stayed up late because it was a short school holiday (Labour Weekend).

Aliya is giving Ralph cuddles while they watch TV and movies. They are watching Hard Ball. Aliya and Shontel might go to the swimming pool tomorrow with Ralph or Time Zone and they are really excited and can't wait. They are allowed to spend some money out of their piggy bank. They have a piggy bank at their Aunty Shirlee's.

Aliya, Shontel and Ralph are listening to the rain and wind. It's really bad weather outside.

Today we got up at Aunty Shirlee's and had breakfast, got changed, brushed our hair and teeth. Ralph too! We went to town. We went and spent $5 each at Time Zone. It was so cool. Ralph enjoyed it too. Then we went back to Aunty Shirlee's, had lunch and waited for Mum to come and pick us up. Mum got the game Gvatar Hero 3. It was fun. I couldn't really play it but we gave it a go! On our way home we stopped and got my favourite pasta, ricotta and parmesan tortellini. Yummy, yum, yum! Ralph didn't want to eat it because it was green. But Mum told him it was delicious!

After tea we had a shower. Ralph went into the wash and we all went to bed.

27/10/08

Yay. No school!! Today we went to the beach, Doctor's Point. We went fishing and caught three fish. YUMMY. We went and got cockles and had a BBQ with my family. My Aunties were there and my uncles and my cousins. Even my Aunty and Uncle from Ashburton. Man it was great. The weather was so lovely. I went swimming three times. Mum and some of my Aunties got a bit sunburned. "OUCH" Silly because they didn't put sunscreen lotion on. We stayed there for a little while. I didn't want to leave. Ralph didn't as well. He wanted to stay and play with Boss and Lucky, my Aunty's dogs.

We all enjoyed Ralph's company. We also forgot to take the camera for photos but next time we will. Thanks Ralph for joining our family for Labour Weekend. It was such a good time and we had heaps of fun. You're welcome anytime. We all hope to see you again.
