A typical day at school0

I leave home at 7.50 and get on the bus at 7.55 and it leaves 8.00. I get to school at 8.40 and school starts about 8.50. We start by the roll then we have a chairperson. The chairperson gets the notes and  asks the classmates if they have any good news or bad news. Then we have litercy and maths after that its recess.

Ussally I play with Shiloh. Recess starts at 11.00 and finishes 11.30. We have 2 peroids than its lunch. That starts at 1.00 and finishes 2.00.

Moving on….0

….To college

What am I looking forward to?

I’m looking forward to meeting new people and making more friends.And still having some of the same friends.

Is there anything I’m nervous about?

Not really because some of the same people are going to stay because my school is a p-12 college. But there are going to be new people as well. Theres going to be more work though!!

Luna park story0

‘yes were finally going somewhere good.’ Natalie said. I may have gone to Luna park before but there’s nowhere better to go.

 

When we finally got there I wanted to go on the ghost train first. So I rushed over to the long line for the ghost train. My parents must have gone on a different ride because they hated ghost rides.

 

I jumped on to the cart and the ride started. But the ride suddenly shutdown! I pushed the front door of the ride and everyone was crushed apart from me. I tried to lift things but they were just to heavy.

 

I finally found my crushed parents. And didn’t know what to do. A man walked towards me and said ‘my bad’ the man was the person that owned the place. ‘Why did you do that’!

I yelled. ‘Because of 10 terrorists that got in I got all of them except one.’

 

I decided to squash the last one. But how was I going to do it?

Wait a minute there’s a new giant bowling ball ride I can use that. So I waited for the man to go under the ride then I pushed with all my might and it crashed on him. The man that owned Luna Park thanked me and said that he would adopt me since my parents got crushed. THE End.
