i have been writing about my grandparents so hope you like it
Almost Retired
One morning I wake up and went to make breakfast i made some
banana on toast once I was done I went to the living room and watched some
TV I was like where's mum and dad so i went to the other living room and there
they were sleeping in the living room in a costume there costume that they were
in was superman and superwoman it was so funny that I took a photo of them and put them on pobble 365 and now they have gotten famous that they are a
billion air now but they cant go shopping because they are retiring so they have
been giving me all the money and I don't know what to do with it all so what I
did with it is I buyed a house with 7 bedrooms 5 living rooms 3 bathrooms
2 kitchens a movie theatre a library a gym and a big pool. I didn't need all
of that but why not. When I bought the mansion I became famous. I couldn't
believe it because of my videos on you tube I got 1.5 million views. My granddad
and my grandma use to be allowed to fly but they cant but i can for them to wake
up they have to have a red bull and when they have that they turn into superman
and superwoman but they still can’t fly so they have to sing one of there songs that
they like the most and then the unicorn comes and helps them to fly around.
It's so Cool i can’t wait to see them again.
Bye bye

School camp
After days and days I've been waiting for camp and today it's the day for camp i bring my bags in ready to go. I couldn't wait. I was so happy that I made my bed at 6:00 o'clock in the morning and got dressed. My mum was like it was too to early go back to sleep. I had my breakfast and I was the first one ready in my house. We got ready for camp. My mum said her goodbyes we did the morning roll and we were on the bus going to camp when we were in the bus it felt like the bus was going to tip over we arrived at the place to have morning tea after morning tea we went on a big walk that made me want to die my friend stepped in sheep poo and left it to dry and tried to peel it off. When we got to the top we finally arrived at living springs. It was so cool we had to go and set up bunk rooms. And after we did bunk rooms we did some orienteering which was very fun. If you do not know what orienteering is when you have to go around and find all the signs and write it down.also had some afternoon tea that was so yum. The second day of camp! I woke up and got ready for the day, had a shower had breakfast, then brushed my teeth and went to the hall and waited for everyone. We did the roll to make sure that everyone was here. Everyone was there so we started with going on a walk down to the dons shed. When we were at dons shed we got to go down and do team building. That was so much fun after that we went to low ropes. Low ropes were so so fun I nearly fell off, it was so fun. After that we had to have lunch for lunch we had nachos it was so so good after we had lunch we went to the bouldering wallet the bouldering wall I won 500 camp dollars I was so happy but then when we got to are bunk rooms we did an auction and I got rid of 850 camp dollars from buying something I was so sad then I got rid of 1,000 camp dollars and that was what we did at camp.bye bye
hi bloggers
WALT: use our senses to write a description
here is the photo that we had to write about
Alice and the wonderland
The floor gave way as I was walking down the road and suddenly I fell deep deep down a hole.It wasn’t just a hole, it had old dusty books around it that looked like the books were ancient.tiny pieces of wood pierced my fingers my screams were echoing as I was falling. Then a beam of light shined bright in my eyes. I was yelling, Help me! As loud as I could but no one could hear me I was frightened. I looked around and as I was looking around I could hear whooshing wind and I could smell the damp air and wind hitting me as I reached the bottom of the hole. I stood up and walked around then I saw a ginormous spider. I screamed but then rocks came caving down on me I knew that was very bad, so I ran and ran as fast as I could.once I was away from the rocks I cloud smell something musty and dusty and I could feel the spider coming to me but then stale air came and entered my mouth.
