Hi Everyone,
Hope you had a great Christmas and got some good presents! Gosh, 2011 is on the way and everyone is putting down there Christmas decorations and some are adding some New Years decorations for New Years Eve! Some people are thinking of New Years Resolutions!
What is a New Years Resolutions?
A New Year's resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day. Some examples include resolutions to donate to the poor more often, to become more assertive, or to become more environmentally responsible.
Some younger kids give up things like: Candy, Soda, Television, Play Station, Computer, Nintendo, X- Box and other things!
Other people give things like: Money and toys to the children that don't have any!!
If you have a new years resolution Good Luck!
And have a wonderful New Year!! xxoo

Christmas ... Christmas is here!
Here is a Christmas Poem from our friends at http://www.apples4theteacher.com/ wishing you a wonderful Christmas. And from everyone at Sophieville have a fabulous Christmas holidays and stay tuned for more blogger posts in 2011.
The fairies and elves on last Christmas-tide
Decided to open their hearts very wide,
And spend extra time, throughout the whole year,
In helping their grandfather—Santa Claus dear.
"Our fingers are nimble. We'll quickly make toys
Enough to supply all the girls and the boys,
And Santa may watch us to see if it's right,
So all will be ready before Christmas night."
Then bravely they all went to work with a will,
And soon all was quiet in workshop and mill;
For old Santa said, "Enough, and well done,
We've toys enough now to make all kinds of fun."
We thank you, old Santa, and your helpers, too,
For all of the many kind things that you do;
And should you need more help in making your toys,
Just call on your small friends, the girls and the boys

Pen Pals
Everybody loves receiving letters in the mail addressed to them? So why don't try looking for a Pen Pal living in a different country so you can chat about your country, your school and anything. A good site for looking for a penpal is http://www.penpalsnow.com/!
A great tip to finding a Pen Pal is looking for a Pen Pal that share similar interests with you or maybe the same age. If you can't find a Pen Pal try finding a family member living in a different country or find a friend who has a friend living over seas or if your friend has moved away send them a letter or an email. Good Luck finding the great Pen Pal
Have a very Merry Christmas and keep safe over the Christmas Holidays.

The Pike River Mine Tragedy!
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't wrote on my blog lately as I have been quite busy.
On November the 19th 2010 there was in explosion in New Zealand's Pike River Mine. Down in the mine was 29 miners working all aged between 17-50. There have been 3-4 explosions since which sadly mean that the 29 miners underground are dead. All they had was a packed lunch and a bottle of water each. The gas is so strong down the mine that the rescue team can't give the dead bodies of the miners to there families. On 1 december 2010 everyone in New Zealand was called to have 2 minutes of silence at 2pm to remember the miners. Our hearts go out to all the families and close friends of the miners. May you be in out prayers and hearts forever.
