How When  Where  What extent?

The family joyfully walked up the steep hill almost reaching the top, but leaving behind the never-ending forest.

The river rapidly rushed down barely giving the riders a break.

Splash! Down the paddles go making kayak‘s quickly zoom through the water, almost reaching the shore.

As the salty sea peacefully sways in cool summer breeze the fishing rod goes down, then something starts to pull extremely hard.

The leaves russel loudly as the swing goes up and down like a never-ending beat coming from Africain drums.

Screaming spreads far in the outside air as the roller coaster unexpectedly makes extreme turns like it’s out of control.

Music Description

Music Description

The heavy sound of the instrument made me feel warm inside.

 The music sounds like late 1800 symphony. The music feels like you’re in an action movie and the hero is fighting the villain. However, something goes wrong and the hero starts running away. Then somehow the hero fights the villain. The music starts low with a little bit of suspense and slowly starts building up like a rocket increasing its speed.

The music starts off low like the hero is on track. When the music starts building up the speed starts increasing and gets louder like the villain starts chasing the hero. Yet when you hear the soft noise it feels like the hero is shooting. In the end, the hero wins. It felt like I was in a Charlie Chaplin movie come to life. So can you guess what music I’m talking about?

ANZAC

As soldiers fought, as explosions surrounded them

Never-ending cries of the people loved.
Zooming through the air were bullets killing  them one by one
Angry, sad families not knowing what’s happening on the battlefield.
Crawling through the think muddy trenches fighting for the welfare of the world.

Sad endings of the people who fought for their country they will always be remembered.

Why Family is more important than friends?

Why Family is more important than friends?

You live with them, you laugh with them you cry with them. I think you just guessed what I’m going to talk about? I’m going to talk about why your family is more important than your friends.

First of all, your friend can abandon you while your family can’t because you live with them. Even if you have arguments your family can’t abandon you. So that’s why I firmly believe that family is more important than friends

Secondly, your family supports you in every move, but sometimes your friend lets you down, by discouraging you. Even if you didn’t support a family member, they will support you but sometimes friends can just be the opposite.

You spend most of your time with your family. They’re always proud of you whether you win the rosette or you just tried your best in a test, but sometimes your friend feel sad they didn't win.

By now you must be convinced that your family is more important than friends. Remember your friends are important too but not as important as your family.

Washing Your Hands

Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today — from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt.

Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for germs to get on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands. Think hands covered in the dirt and you’re eating your favourite food and the next day your sick! This is because didn’t wash your hands and the bacteria went into your mouth.

Remember you always maintain personal hygiene. So you must wash your

hands with soap at least 30 seconds. If you think it’s boring

than sing happy birthday 2 times. Remember always wash your hand before

and after eating, preparing food, going to the bathroom or playing with the dirt.

Quote of the day

 “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about”. Meg Wheatley 

Weird but True!

1Hippopotamus milk is pink! Hippopotamus has 2 unique acids in their bodies called hipposudoric acid and Norhipposudoric acid, In milking Hippo the two acids get combined with the white milk and thus pink-coloured milk is ejected.

2 One of the ingredients needed to make dynamite is peanuts. Peanut oil can be processed to produce glycerol, which can be used to, make nitroglycerine, an explosive liquid used in dynamite. However, there are other ways to make dynamite without peanuts at all.

Book Review

Five on Treasure Island

Author: Enid Blyton

Cover Art: Quentin Blake

While their parents have gone on holiday Dick, Julian and Anne visit their cousin, George. They go to Kirrin Island with Timothy (dog).In search of a treasure that belongs to George. They find an old box with old letters belonging to George’s great great grandfather. But George’s father sells the box to an antique dealer. The kids are determined to find the treasure. But they don’t know somebody also trying to get the treasure.

I like this book because it's full of mystery and Enid Blyton describes the setting very vividly.
