My Big Buddy Lauryn – Written by Ruby

Biking, one of the joys of life and my big buddy Lauryn Wood likes to ride bikes. She also enjoys baking sweet cupcakes and reading big fiction books.
White chocolate … she hates! That’s very surprising I know, but she still has a very sweet tooth. Lauryn dislikes swimming. I can sort of relate to that one!
“Score!” The crowd shouts. Lauryn scored a goal in netball. She can dash, dodge, defend, catch and score goals. How cool is that?!
Banana brown hair! Never heard of that before! But it definitely suits her. Her banana brown hair has its own special curve right behind the ears. She experiments with different hair styles which look great on her every time. I look at her and see her shimmering blue sea eyes looking back at me. Spots and dots all over her face – big, small and medium sized freckles which truly bring out her beauty.
Everyone has to be some height. I think average is best and of course Lauryn is of average height. A positive attitude she has. Most people have one, like most buddies. Lauryn has a very kind and generous heart. All people should try to be caring. She is very bold and smart at reading because she Is very focussed. She listens to the teacher and for writing she tries to put more descriptive language in it. If she is reading books she likes to doggy flap the pages. Doggy flap means she folds the top corner of a book. She sometimes gets in trouble but not all the time. She loves to fiddle with anything she can find.
I love Buddy Time, even if it takes up our Discovery time.

My Big Buddy Morgan – Written by Molly

My dark-chocolate haired, brown eyed, reckless buddy Morgan likes junk food, art and sports. She is bubbly, rough like a gorilla, weird (in a good way). Her dislikes are her sisters and the most annoying thing ever for her is the unfair play, like in netball when the ref says something you didn’t do to make the other team win. Her fizzing talents are eating chocolate, designing clothes and sports. Morgan’s mannerisms or habits are sucking her gooey thumb, tapping her very short bitten fingernails and picking at them. I don’t know what I would do without her.

My Big Buddy Josh – Written by Riley

My buddy’s name is Josh. He likes rugby, Minecraft and Halo. He doesn’t like homework or speaking in public. He likes to keep his blond hair short and he is not tall for his age and he is a skinny boy. Broccoli is one food he doesn’t like. He is an expert at tennis and sport. Josh is an awesome, bubbly, crazy kind of guy and he has a caring sense of humour. His weird habits include twisting his hair and eating. I like my buddy Josh.
