Running for the Bus
The big fat hairy man, running
Running to catch the bus
Running just running
Hair flying
Big belly wobbling
Like a giant bird taking off
Every bit in motion until
Until lift off
Then all grace and elegance
No longer a big fat hairy man
Running to catch the bus
But a thing of Beauty
Soaring through the air and
Floating on the thermals.

Potatoes are good for us at they contain many nutrients but they are not ideal for
those people wanting to lose weight. The best ways to eat potatoes are baked with
the skin on and no oil or butter added.
Or better still substitute them with Sweet Potatoes as Sweet Potatoes have less
cal-ories so are good if we are trying to lose weight.
They are full of fibre and antioxidants and are rich in beta-carotene
which is good for eye health.
And the best reason of all, they are delicious
Whales have been seen in increasing numbers this year and the best places
for seeing are whale are
The best spots for whale watching are
Crackneck Lookout at Foresters Beach
The Skillion at Terrigal
Norah Head Lighthouse
Bateau Bay Viewing Area
Next time you go out for fast food, go for a drive and see if you can see the
beautiful Humpback Whales.

Fruit is good for us as it contains
many anti-oxidants and vitamins
as well as being full of fibre.
Which helps us go to the toilet.
But it also has sugar so when we
drink it, for example we are
drinking a lot of sugar and the
fibre (the good part) has been
removed.

Choco-late and
Fruit
A great
mix
Bob and Paul were Huntsmen
Big Hairy Huntsmen,
They lived in a big old blackbutt
Out the back of Bills place
They loved footy and playing jokes
They would watch the games on Bills tv
Dressed in their footy socks and jumpers
From behind the blinds in Bill's house
One of their favorite jokes was tickling Bill’s mustache when he was
asleep
They would roll around in stitches
But their favorite joke of all was taking a drive in the car
Where they would take it in turns
showing their hairy legs
Both sides of the front mirror
What mayhem they caused
If you could see them
Doubled over from laughter while telling
Snorting and slapping legs on legs
On their backs
Their footy clad legs kicking in delight
Oh, what fun they had.

Muffins
Muffins are really easy to make as they only require a
few ingredients and you only need two bowls and a
spoon to mix them and some pretty paper cup cake
cases to bake them in.
However, they have a lot of sugar in them, so just for
treats.
2 cups of self-raising flour
1/2 cup of castor sugar
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Sift Flour into bowl, add sugar. Combine all wet
ingre-dients in separate bowl.
Place your choice of fruit, chocolate into the dry
in-gredients. Then add your wet inin-gredients. Combine
not stirring too much. Place in paper cups on baking
tray. Makes about 12
Bake in 190 degrees for 20—25 minutes.

Paper Mache
Lets start by making a Paper Mache Pig. Paper Mache is good to start with
because it is relatively cheap, but a bit messy so give yourself plenty of
room.
Step 1
Pour 2 Cups of water into a large mixing bowl
Step 2
Add in a half cup of flour. Mix thoroughly, slowly adding in a few drops of
white glue
Step 3
Blow up a balloon. Use a balloon large enough so it can work as the main
body of your pig.
Step 4
Lay newspaper down on the surface you will work on and place the balloon
on top
Step 5
Cut toilet rolls in half so you have 4 tubes. Tape each securely to the bottom
of your balloon. These are the pigs feet.
Step 6
Bend or cut cardboard into two triangles. Tape these to the
sop of the balloon. These will the pigs ears.

Step 8
Soak newspaper strips one at a time in your paper Mache mixture . Take
each piece and begin to cover the balloon and cardboard. Press down on
each piece so it is smooth and flat. Don’t be afraid to get your hands a
little dirty.
Step 9
Let you project dry for at least 12 hours.
Time to Decorate
Step 1
Paint your pig its base colour. Use pink paint for a traditional pig or you
can get creative wit the colour. Pigs come in all colours
Step 2
Draw a snout and eyes on the pigs face using dark-coloured paint
Step 3
Use a pipe cleaner to poke a hole in the backside of the pig. Bend the
pipe cleaner so it stays in the pig and twist the end so that it is curly.
This is the pigs tail
Step 4
Once the paint is dry you have your pig.
