Did you have a good sleep over?

On Saturday 23rd of May, my cousin was dropped off at my house for a sleep over.

First we went on the computer to play some games. 5 minutes later we got bored so we watched TV. We watched Big Time Rush, Mr Young and icarly. Then my mum left to go to my aunt's house. After that the fun began.

We played indoor soccer and we used a cushion as a soccer ball. We played soccer in the living room. My cousin almost smashed the TV because he kicked the cushion and it went towards the TV like a speeding bullet. Lucky I was being a good goal keeper so I blocked the ball.

Next we moved on to a different activity, boxing. My cousin almost knocked me out because he swung faster than Many Pacquia's fist. However he missed and punched the vase instead. We were lucky that it was not smashed otherwise we would have got in deep trouble.

When my cousin punched the vase, he got scared and said "lets play karate". I kicked him so fast that my foot was like a bullet train. I punched faster than the Karate Kid. However my aim was off and I ended up hurting my cousin because kicking him in the tummy.

After my cousin was hurt we had to stop.  Before long we went on the computer and played a scary game called ask the spirit. I got so scared that I screamed like a 6 year old girl. Then we heard a noise. "Mum is here!", I shouted, so we cleaned up the house faster than Usain Bolt. Then we ran upstairs and played video games until 5 in the morning.

My cousin and I had a great time, I should go to bed early next time and use day time to play games so it doesn't affect my health.

I would flip out of my chair if I saw a lion

This story is about a teacher dressing for Monster Monday but then he got stuck in traffic.

Monster Monday is a day when people can write about monsters and the best writer gets a prize. Mr Timms dressed up as a lion for the monster lunch. Mrs Timms drove Mr Timms to school, but there was a traffic jam. People in the other cars looked at Mr Timms and was afraid of his lion costume. A dog barked, a baby cried and a man fainted.

Later on the police officer approached Mr Timms’ car. She said to him, “I suppose you are in a hurry to school for Monster Monday.” Mr Timms asked how she knew. She replied, “Before I left, my son was putting on his T Rex costume.” After finding out what was happening, the police said she would not give them a fine because Mr Timms was not the one driving. Then she drove off.

Have you made a time capsule before?

20/5/15

Dear people of the future,

My name is Lasike and I have made this letter to describe what school is like in my days.

 School was a place where you could make friends and some enemies. At school we use Chromebooks, if you don't know what that is, it’s a laptop but smaller. We use Chromebooks to publish what we have been learning. We have summer clothes and winter clothes. We have to wear a uniform. The only time we can wear anything we like is on mufti days. We use wooden tables with iron legs. We also sit on plastic chairs. Before I was born, school was a bit scary. They weren't allowed to talk, if students talked, they get a hit with a long stick. But now our Teachers are much nicer than before. There were bullies but we never worried about it because they have to face the consequences of their actions. We start Primary when we are five. We use pencils to write on paper. If our pencils break, we sharpen it with a sharpener. We use cars for transportation to school but sometimes we walk to school as well. We use whiteboard markers to write on the whiteboard. School can be  a bit scary at first because your parents will leave you with people that you don't know. However, you soon learn that they are people that will help you to get a good education. We use an overhead projector so we can connect our little laptop to the big whiteboard for everyone to see. We are not allowed to play contact sports like Rugby and Karate because it is not safe. We have morning tea at 10:45 and lunch at 12:45. We do tests on our Chromebooks, but sometimes we do them on paper. People who live close to school often walk to school. We use a ruler to make sure our work is neat and tidy. Good luck, I hope you are learning as much as I am.

Why did you swallow my friend?

Mick grabs a gun out of his pocket and shoots the slime but it was too late. The slime had already swallowed him up. Some of crew 44 wasn't going to let that happen so they came up with a plan. They fed the Slime their clothes and weapons. After a while, Mick popped out from the other end of the mouth. The Slime then blew up because one of the weapons was a grenade.

How much do you love your grandpa?

On May 15th was a special day for my grandpa, it was his birthday

First we cleaned the  house to get sparkly clean and to get ready for his birthday. Next my dad and went out hunting for the perfect present. We went to Sylvia Park to buy his present. We found a $200 watch at the jewelry store, so bought it because we knew he loved watches.

While my family was cleaning I was inviting my closes cousins over. After that I went to my room and started practicing my amazing speech. Before my granddad came my mum bought the cake in a click of a finger because we live near the bakery. Then my cousins arrived.

My granddad opens the door the light were off then SURPRISE. We all had to meet him before we eat. When we were about to eat I said a prayer and said my speech. My speech brought tears to his eyes. Then I gave him his new watch, he loved it, he said "a ten dollar watch replaced by a gold $200 watch". Then we ate takeaways my aunty bought. She bought chicken nibbles, fried rice, sweet and sour pork and a chicken salad.

I had an awesome day especially my granddad, he had a wonderful time. Thank you Lord for giving him a long life and keeping him healthy and happy.
