Imagine if cows gave green soda instead of milk By Layne The world would probably have many weak people because milk contains calcium. But the world itself would be more polluted because of the cans, sure they could be recycled, but does the world recycle that much today? I mean be honest. Also we would probably drink the green soda and would need the den6st more so… there really is no bright side to the no milk thing, everybody loves milk! Well almost everybody…basically what I am saying is we would have cavi6es
Waking up in another country By Julio
If I woke up in another country and I didn’t understand a word people said I would call my mom and tell her to tell the police so they can fly where I am and rescue me. If I didn’t have a phone I would get a dic6onary of the language they speak at the random country, learn words and tell the police there to fly me home. But I would get the dic6onary by going to the library looking in windows checking if there are lots and lots of books. Then I would tell the police to fly me home. 1

Nobody would have a boyfriend or a girlfriend 10. No one could make anyone sad or else they get arrested. Waking up in another country By Julio

Meet our Primary School Principal Interviewing Ms. Rachel By Dina and Layne What do you think about before you fall asleep? Normally I think about my day. Whether it’s been a good day or a bad day, whether there is anything else I need to do or not, that way I can go to bed with a clear mind and a happy heart. Who is your best friend? I have three best friends and they are all over the world. My lifelong best friend is my big sister Denise and my best friend, who I’ve known for a long 6me, Shauna and she works in Indonesia, so when I move I will be closer to my best friend. And Ms. Kristy is one of my best friends here. Would you rather only be able to whisper or shout? Definitely whisper, I think when you whisper you get more people listening than when you shout. Would you rather have hair that goes past your feet or be bald? I think I’d look pre]y good being bald. Only kidding I much prefer the hair that goes past my feet. I’d have to 6e up thought so I don’t stand on my high heels on it so that would cause a pre]y big accident. 3

Would you rather have to mix up your food before you eat it or eat everything (even your drink) with a spoon? I can go with mixing things up as long as I don’t have to mix my drink in with my spoon. What is your favorite color? Green Water boAles or water fountains? If we’re thinking the environment water fountains are be]er but because Lima gets quite hot in the summer we need water bo]les because otherwise kids would get too thirsty and they’d be in and out of class to much, so I guess depends where you live in the world What's the best book you’ve ever read? Any book by Malcolm Gladwell, he’s wri]en The Tipping Point and David & Goliath, I like he’s thinking. What was the scariest moment of your life? I haven’t had many scary moments. I do remember we were on a field trip with my 5th grade students in England and someone played a trick on me. We were on a ghost walk in the city of York and someone was talking about a ghost that used to put hands around people’s necks and someone was holding an ice cube and just right at the 6me they put their hand around my neck, which made me get pre]y scared. Would you rather be a plumber or a roofer? Definitely a roofer cause then you go]a deal with blocked up toilets and that wouldn’t be any fun 4

Movie Night By Ariela & Rose
This Semester the library organized Movie Night. We loved the popcorn, the bake sale, being cuddled up in warm blankets and being with friends. The movie was Ponyo this is what we thought about it: Ariela: A boy named Sosuske finds a “goldfish” he names Ponyo. Then Ponyo escapes and tries to become human. Se succeeds and is reunited with Sosuske. In the end Ponyo and Sosuske live together happily ever aeer. I liked the part when Ponyo is a girl with Sosuske, but I didn’t like the part when she first into a human. Rose: The movie is about a fish that turns into a girl. I liked it because it was anime and my favorite part was at the end when Ponyo turns into a girl. I give it 5 stars. Next 6me we would like to see Castle In The Sky and The Cat Returns. 7

Folktales A very inspiring story By Julio
Fables are folktales that some6mes include talking animals and other cool random stuff but the main thing about folktales is that they always teach lessons. Fables are maybe the oldest folktales. Legends are folktales with incredible stuff done by a man, an animal, and any other living thing. Legends start from an old boring thing that people made more interes6ng by telling and passing on more interes6ng stories for example my friend had a cat, then he tells his friend ‘my friend has a lion’, then he tells his friend that his friend has a zoo of lions, etc. And that’s how they made Robin Hood, and all those old legends. Fairy tales are folktales with a magical land, a princess, and an evil villain. Some6mes fairy tales also have the princess strike back and maybe save the earth or her family. There are many fairy tales such as: Snow White and Beauty and the Beast. Most fairy tales have romance. Pourquoi tales are folktales of why something in nature came to be the way it is. Such as why the llama spits, or why the Peruvian dog has no hair etc. And all pourquoi tales have two characters or more.
25
The Condor Chronicles May – June 2015 Tall tales are folktales with unbelievable elements, related as if it were true and factual. Some stories such as Johnny Appleseed and all those stories are a tall tale. Tall tales make your mind imagine all these random crea6ve stuff. Myth tales are tales with a hero and an imaginable journey. Greece was the place with the most myths, Odysseus, was a popular one from Greece. The Greece people also thought the “red moon” was the end of the world. So myths are kind of a weird story they are similar to pourquoi tale.
