She didn’t know how it got to her or  what it was. So she think and think until she had an idea how to get to Mysterious stone back to the owner.


But all she knew was that this stone was a gift from the sky. She even asked her Dad what the stone as because he was a scientist. “Dad what do you think this stone is?” Angel asked. “It is a piece stone.” Said Angel’s dad.  Meanwhile Angel went around the country asking people if they


knew what the special stone was. Later on went she got to the last home there lived the wise old lady. Angel asked “ Hello my name is Angel, I just want to ask if  you know what this special stone I have been searching  and searching for someone who does  know what this stone is and what it does” Angel said as she gave the wise old lady the diamond stone.



“Yes I do know what this stone is, it is from the heavens. Every 10 years the dragons come every year and they drop down a gift for a little special someone. So the woman and Angel went to the dragons and went to give the gift back to the dragon. Angel went back home and she lived happily ever after. The End.

Smart Learner


Being a smart learner includes concentration, listening to the teacher, using your virtues, obeying the rules, and lastly getting yourself  ready for the day. Sometimes it is hard for people to concentrate on their learning because sometimes interruptions come up. Using your virtues is normal in a year 5 classroom, it is like having patience when the teacher is with someone else you could do some other work while you wait.
