Hero's Story!

The sky was a pale, shade of a grey. Rain lashed against the window, washing off the dirt from the past. A brown dreadful dog was barking from outside in the garden but stuck in the mud. Tears coming down. He had not been walking for a long month. Julie was sitting in her room, holding a cup of hot coffee. She froze because she looked outside and there was a dog barking for help, tears still coming down.

Julie ran straight to the phone like a lion, ringing her best buddy, Spencer. She met him at school. He was a friendly hot guy to her. She was nervous but her body was shaking like a earthquake. When Spencer answered the phone, she told him that a dog is stuck in the garden. Spencer quickly got changed into his powerful costume. It was red and black.

Off! Spencer used his powerful costume, like superman, and flew across to Julie house. When he reached Julie house he quickly ran to the dog. Dog still barking. His tears were gone. He knew someone will rescue him. The dog wanted to be alive. Spencer shouted out loud to Julie to help him. Julie with the speed! They both helped the dog out of the mud. The dreadful dog was filthy. Julie and Spencer was so euphoric because they worked as a team. On that day Julie showered the dog. It was clean and fresh.

In the end they had a celebration over at Julie house. The celebration night was fro Spencer for his hard work he did. Spencer got a certificate and a present. Everyone clapped, shake hands and hugged him. That was the intrigued day ever……!


The Windy Long Bay Trip!

The sky was grey and dark! Trees blowing to side to side!. Rain dripping down from the sky!.  Lets go and spend the time at Long Bay. Students of Glenbrae School went to Long Bay. We went there to learn about sea creatures because there are too many people taking a lot of our sea creatures. After reaching Long Bay, we had a 10 minute morning tea.


Next the 3 instructors, Maureen, James and Sarah gave us information about the sea creatures. Sarah gave each group an instructor. We had the best one, Sarah. Sarah walked our group to the rocky shore. When we reached there, Sarah gave us each group a tray to fill it with water. The tray was to put the sea creature that we find. We were looking and looking for them! I felt very cold because they wind was strong and burly! I was very euphoric because I found a cat’s eye snail and a starfish. Sarah told us we had to get our groups together and have a look at them and then take them back. It was very interesting to look at them.


Time for lunch. Everyone was hungry. Crispy food going down. Lunch was over. Our next activity was to go to the beach and collect beautiful shells that we found. While we were looking for beautiful shells, we found a big fat jellyfish. It was alive. It was everyone’s first time seeing a jellyfish. After that we had to gather around to see if every group had shells that were shown on the chart. Sarah told us we would be having a competition. The competition was hilarious! It was hilarious because the other groups tried to copy our moves.

Finally the activity was over. Everyone gathered around to say thank you to the instructor. When we were coming back on the bus, some people were sleeping and some were talking to their friends. That was the best trip ever!!!.....

Poem - WW1

 


Here we lay, down the deep sand
Sunshine is gone, but I only see grey
Wish I could spend a bit more time
I am in my twenties or thirty, but I’m in my prime

A minute or a second to go
My whole body is numb, face is blue
Very sorry, but I did my best
Life is over, through my dark red chest

Can’t help it, quick and fast
Can’t help it, but still smile
Never see the world, this is the end
I will always look down from the sky

Creating Loopy People!

Today in maths I learnt to measure body parts, half the measurement, apply the halved measurements to measure, cut and create our loopy people. 

Reflection:

It was easy connect the body parts
It was hard to half each measurement
