My Friends

“We are best friends remember that every time you fall,I will pick you up...after I finish laughing :)”. My friends and I really like this quote because it reminds us of when one of us either falls or falls over. We are a very talkative bunch who enjoy hanging out and having fun. If in one word I could describe my friends it would be unique.

My best friend Ashleigh, I have known her all my life even in kindergarten we were best friends. From then till when we go of to college I hope we will still stay in touch. Ashleigh is a really funny character who will always stick up for her friends and is very smart.

Makerita, 6-7 years I have known her. Rita is very smart and likes to smile alot. Rita out of the group is the mature yet immature person in our group. She likes to play outside but also likes to just kick back and relax sometimes.

Shoal, is a very funny girl who likes food and enjoys watching the newest songs and videos on youtube. She is very kick back and likes to play touch. Shoal is very interesting and also has the most funniest stories.

Hueloata, She is the youngest one in our group, she tells funny jokes and has a really funny laugh. She is very active and likes to play outside on the field. Hueloata and I are really close friends and have the same amount of randomness.

Vivienne, is a smart intelligent girl who is kind and funny. She likes to kick back and is a really good dancer. I meet her to hangout with friends and enjoys being a photographer and videographer. I think she will be very successful when she grows up.

Those are all five of my friends we are very close and we sometimes pretend that we're family. I hope you got an idea of what my friends are like and enjoyed reading my post.

Writing Sample Narrative - Forrest

Running away from home I end up at the edge of the forbidden forest. Do I go in? I thought to myself. Mum and I had just got into an argument about moving again. Every year she says this is the place yet every year we move. It’s just not fair! When we arrived she gave me strict instructions to not go into the forbidden forest. So this was the best chance to go check it out.

Walking in I see lush native greenery. “This is a pretty cool place” I said to myself. I keep walking and arrive at a picnic table placed in the middle of the forest I look a little closer and it said on a plaque “To my sister Charity”. I sit down wondering who Charsity is? Walking home it started to precipitate.  Its starts to rain so I run home and ask my parents who Charsity is like they would have any idea, but to my surprise they said that the real estate told them about her. She had sadly vanished one day in the woods.... To be continued.

One Direction!

One direction is an English-Irish pop boy band which consists of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayne Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. They first auditioned for x factor separately but sadly got eliminated. They got put together as a group just after the judges decided that they couldn’t send them home. After x factor they stayed together and signed together with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records. Their first song “what makes you beautiful” and “live while we’re young” became topped the charts in 2011 and 2012. The group has sold 19 million singles and 10 million albums according to the band’s management company. One direction is overall a great band who has stolen the hearts of millions of girls around the world.

Halloween Origins

The extension group have recently been researching more about the origins of Halloween. First we shared some ideas of what we thought halloween was all about. At first I thought halloween was about dressing up in scary costumes, celebrating the dead and also eating loads of lollies. But I was wrong there is a lot more information to halloween.

This is what we found out. We started of with the celtic calendar. The celtic calendar has a light side and a dark side. Samhain (Sel-win) is also called the Harvest festival. During the harvest festival the days go shorter and the nights are longer. Permeable is when the after life can come in to the living world and we can come into there world as well. When the celtic tribes come together they would light up a bonfire to welcome the new year.

All saints day also known as Lemuria was originally placed on the 13th of may but changed to the 1st of November. Lemuria was also a day that the Romans thought the dead would rise so to prevent this they would poured roman milk over them. This date was moved so they could drain out the life of halloween. But just to be sure the Christian's made the 2nd of November all souls day. 

On all souls day people go knocking on doors and beg for soul cakes and in exchange they will give prayers to the people in Purgatory. Purgatory is a place between heaven and hell. What did you think Halloween was all about?

5 Future Jobs

Filmer

For me I think to be a Filmer you would have to Have experience with cameras and also have a media degree. And to became a Filmer you would probably need to start volunteering to film at any celebration. But also study hard.

Director

Director’s, I wonder how they became one? I think they would need to have inspiration to make movies. Know important things about cameras, and most importantly go to university and study movie making.

Flight Attendant

When you go on a plane you will always see a flight attendant. What do you think they would need to do to get there? I think they would have great hostess skills and not be afraid of heights. Also they would probably need to do a course.

Pilot

To be a pilot you would definitely need to do a course so you can learn how to drive a plane. I think they would like a Flight attendant you shouldn't be afraid of heights.

Lawyer

To me to be a lawyer you have to know what you're studying in university. For example you might want to be a lawyer for crime or young justice. I also think you would need to be very confident and very justifying.  

Maria The Undentified Girl

The greek police had great surprise while searching through a Roma camp. They were originally looking to search for drugs and weapons, as part of an illegal crackdown activity. During the operation the prosecutor saw something standing out. This was a blonde blue-eyed little girl.

Maria was her name and was around four years old. the officials said on Friday that she didn’t look like the couple she was living with. DNA tests proved that she didn’t belong to the couple. And further inspections raised more suspicions.

As the Greek officials try to find her true identity and whether the couple were linked to a trafficking rings, experts are using the case to point out the severe weakness in the country’s birth registration system.

The Greek police have asked for assistance from Interpol in helping find the childs real family. A charity said it has sought the same assistance from the international groups for missing or abused children.

Until just five months ago there was no central register. And even now births declared in different municipalities before early May 2013 are not cross-checked on a national basis.Maria  had been registered in Athens, from where the couple had obtained a birth certificate.

WICKED!

Looking at all the rows of red plushed seats being filled with people, I can't wait until the show starts.  Opening my lollies I start to sink into my chair and get relaxed.

 'The show will start in a couple of minutes' a voice came booming out of the intercom. It started to quiet down as the room started to get dimmer. The show had now started and the first character had walked on stage. 'Glinda the good' was her name and all the little munchkins surrounded her asking all these questions. 'Was it true that you were friends with the wicked witch of the west'? That was the question that had led her into telling them her story of what happened with her and the wicked witch.

I don't want to tell you everything about this show but it was very cool and the actors,singers and dancers were awesome. If you get the chance to see it you would really enjoy it.

   This photo was taken before the show with me and my sister drinking Glinda the good mock tails.
