The International World Wide Gumboot Throw

The International World
Wide Gumboot Throw

By: Gloria.L.H

I was sweating. My family was cheering like it was
meeting their favourite celebrity live in person. It
was my turn to throw the gumboot I picked up the
sweaty smelling red and black soul gumboot, it
looked fairly big and I could definitely slip my foot
inside with ease not that I would! I swang the
gumboot. Once. twice. I flies into the air at amazing
speed. 10 metres. 20 metres. 30 metres. 40 metres.
42.9 metres! I was amazed, and my ears was ringing
from claps and cheers, this was the first time I’ve
heard a crowd go as mad and wild as this. At the end
of the day my brother Bobby was cooking dinner
and my parents were congratulating me. I was
proud. Very very proud.

T4 W6: The A&P Show

The A&P Show

I think you should go to The A&P Show because it is an amazing
place! The second you step in the place you are surrounded by a
powerful noise from amazing looking motorcycle doing eye popping
tricks. They will fly into the air. They will flip a few dozen times to
try amaze you.

They have every farm animal (even though they stink but their
cuteness kills the stink!) You name, they’ve got it. Like literally they
have at least twelve breeds of sheep. Don’t even get me started on the
little goats, they were standing on their hind legs with their front legs
on the gate being nosy but the adorableness will blow you away.

There is a air party thing next to the tip top family lawn because there
are slides and all types of bouncy castles. And there's a story teller
too. Oh yeah, and the circus with lots of entertaining things to do
there, so if your child gets bored, feel free to take them there and if
you can find it (which is kinda hard because itś located in the middle
and there is a lot of tall air things) there are lots of other places
scattered across the place.

You can also get free stuff like candy, frisbees and fans! Speaking of
candy and food you will get hungry after all the activities but don't
worry there will be food stands as far as the eye can see. So food,
check!

So the A&P Show is a great place for entertainment and a place to
learn more facts about animals even though it stinks and it's boiling
hot but it's still amazing there.

T3 W3: Bye, Bye Witch

Bye, Bye Witch

By: Gloria.L.H

In the clear waters of the ocean plays a scaly dragon jumping as
swiftly as a leopard though the waves. His green eyes shines and
reflects light like the moon, having scales shimmering brightly as if
he was a part of the ocean dancing under the sun. He leaps highly
onto white, puffy clouds to have a nap. Just when he was going to
drift of into his dreams, BANG BANG BANG!

Suddenly he heard a sound that made his tail twitch eagerly. He
cautiously approached the banging sound and found a house with
wood chips falling to the ground. There was mold seeking from the
wood.  

Drakeon the dragon strode around the corner and spotted a window
with cobwebs as curtains. He peered through the cobwebbed curtains
barely covering the inside, surprised. He glared inside and eyed a
witch stirring a villainous bubbly potion.

The witch had pitch black hair that looks like it hasn’t been washed
in years, in other words never. Her eyes were as cold as ice, her nose
stretched forward with a pimple in the middle. Her mouth froze in a
frown, and her outfit had patches and rips all her dress. The witch’s
tights were a pattern of stripes of orange and black. The shoes she
was wearing was razor sharp and curled upward like a lollipop.

Well he thought it was a witch because it was really hard to see in
the dim candle light. Drakeon was still wondering what the banging
was…

With the time of a blink of an eye the witch spun around as speedy
as a cheetah recognized Drakeon and with a croaky voice she
whispered “I have been waiting to see you in years! And now I can
absorb your power and become victorious!” ‘Oh no!’ Drakeon
thought, without thinking he opened his jaw and blew a flame of fire
in the witch’s pointy nose.

Seconds later the furious witch flew into dark rage, panicking
Drakeon started to sprint at lightning speed, then spread his silver
wings and started to drift as if he were a plane and zoomed past the
clouds.

Just then did he notice his home and dived in and slammed the door
shut with his psychic powers. He peeped out of the window and
when he knew it was safe he went to bed. BANG BANG BANG! ‘No,
not again’ Drakeon thought.

Poem

Always has an urge to flip

Smooth purple dolphin body

Snout is very long

Round eyes as dark as night

Breath like fish

Always at the speed of light when swimming or flipping

Slimy wet and cold touch

Always got fish in mouth

And likes to say “I love flipping even though it makes me dizzy hehehe!”

T1 W8: Embarrassing story

Embarrassing Story

Yellow: similes

Green: verbs

Blue: adjectives

I had a fantastic day then I suddenly remembered that it was one of
my dear friend, Alexia's birthday party! I was excited I finished my
university test at record speed. I skidded to the math teacher like my
legs were stuck to living cheetah legs and handed her the long test,
she looked at me surprised, marked it and passed it back to me. I sat
back down and I noticed that everyone was staring at me with their
beady little eyes. Alexia whispered to me “I didn’t know you could
write so fast!” “yea I didn’t expect that either” I replied with a smile.

After a long, exhausting day of school I got a call from Miriana to
meet her at the back of Jelly (Jellypark) “hey, Gloria meet me in
Jelly at 4:00 with your flash red skates.” exactly after she said that I
replied in a happy tone“ok, but I have to scoot my boot at 5:45 to my
friend´s b-day party.” I speed to my humongous house and slipped on
my rollerblades and rolled to Jelly.

I skated with Miriana till 5:45 and said my farewells, then as fast as
lightning I made it to Alexia's party in the middle of a park, but as
soon as I entered still with my rollerblades on I slipped like a fool and
slided to the wall and smacked my face against it. Alexia turned as
pale as a ball of mozzarella while I turned a bright cherry red, hurled
in a ball and rushed home. That was the last time I was going to go to
a party that year.

T1 W6: The Day I Met A Giant

T1 W6 Character Description

Where you should go for your next holiday T4 W6

Where you should go for your next holiday

Intro

Ni hao, so, you might be wondering where you can have another exciting, life remembering holiday, well I suggest you go to Beijing in China, why? Because there are lots of exciting places to go to and scrumptious food to taste. You will be amazed once you get there because you don’t even know what to do first. In the next few paragraphs you are going to read many spectacular reasons on why and other data you need to know. That is why you should go to the amazing Beijing.

Information for the flight

Now I am going to you about the flight, if you are taller than 1.20 metre than the price would be $436 at the airport in christchurch. You might be annoyed by the expensive prices so you might thinking ¨oh I think Iḿ going to stay where I am¨, well the price is expensive to go to Beijing because well, 1st , you need to take two flights, and 2nd this holiday could be so awesome that your grandson could tell your great great grandson, and yes that is how life remembering Beijing is. The flight is at least 13 hours long but you won’t be bored the plan has a little TV.

Water cube
I have not been to Beijing National Stadium, Temple of Heaven, Beijing Olympic park, Ancient North WaterTown, National Museum of China, Beihai park, Chairman Mao Zedong Memorial, or Zhongnanhai so I think you should go and have a look and see which place is better, Water Cube is a place shaped like a cube, and you can go swimming there in mind blowing slippery twisting slides. In the daytime the Water Cube is blank white, but at nighttime oh boy it’s colourful It’s like Hanmer Springs, the spa’s are as bubbly as a ton of bath bombs in a bathtub. Well that's all I can tell you. ( I’ll have pictures down below)

The Beijing Zoo

The Beijing Zoo is a Zoo and I guess you already knew that, but the stunning Beijing Zoo has about every animal you can think of. My favorite animal is a dolphin and well I saw a dolphin. I saw the dolphin in a aquarium, I kept on seeing sharks that were eating fish everywhere in that aquarium, and that zoo is gigantic. If you have a favourite animal I will be 98% sure that it is there.

Beijing Foods

Now I’m going to talk about food and if you're a food lover then I guess every time I’m going to say the word food you're going to start licking your lips. The Beijing restaurants are practically everywhere so you don’t have to worry about getting hungry. These tasty foods will keep you going for a while in fact as soon as you eat one you can’t resist for another, and yes that going to keep eating until well you about to explode but you won’t. My favourite food in Beijing is Peking Roast Duck, but I do not know what you would like out of these thousands of foods. Trust me you will feel like non stop eating these scrumptious dishes if you are crazy about food!

The END/Conclusion

So as you can see from the facts this place is loaded with fascinating places to go and delicious food to taste. So go pack you bag buy a ticket and board the plane to Beijing and have a epic time as you are having fun in the sun!
