The terrible thing that happened to Barnaby Brocket

Normal. Barnaby Brocket is a normal eight year old boy... sort of. Barnaby was born with one difference, he floats. His parents (who thinks he's a disaster) will do anything to make the family normal, which leads to the unthinkable. Barnaby's world turns upside down, literally. He tries to accomplish an exiting adventure which takes him from Brazil to New York, from Canada to Ireland. On the way he meets loving, caring friends who who understand his way of life.

I think this book will be enjoyed by eleven years an older, it's an"edge of you're seat book" that you can't put down.

9/10 "Awesome" Christopher.

Gardening Ideas

Hello, this is the plan that Jed, Lawson and Christopher have made for the garden outside Jenny's office please we would love to hear your thoughts about it we welcome your comments on this post.

Things you may need to know...

* There is a path which will be gravel from the concrete steps besides the kitchen that leads down to the bottom field steps and breaks

off to go the path besides Jenny's office beside the bank planting.

* We are putting in a outdoor working space beside the kitchen and boys toilet there will be three 1-3 metre high trees from some shade and it will be compacted gravel.

* We would like to take out the planter box and putting it with two others right up against Jenny's office, each class will take care of one planter box each.

* We are looking for places we can ask for grants and fundraising. If you have any  ideas please leave a comment or contact the school. 

* Help will be required on working bees. If you have any equipment or skill i.e digger or landscaping expertise that may help please contact school.   

Zoos

We should have animal sanctuaries not zoos.

Firstly zoos spend a lot of money to import exotic species. I did some research and I found out that a Giant Panda costs $1,000,000 to rent as a zoo animal a year. Also if zoos are renting a Giant Panda they have to pay up to $2,000,000 to the Chinese government for research projects.

Zoos can also have tigh,t disgusting enclosures that in some cases could kill the animals they were keeping. Unlike zoos, sanctuaries have larger enclosures, therefore making the animals feel more comfortable. The enclosures might also help with the animals health and well being because they would have enough room to happily explore around.Would you like to live in a damp, dark cage?

Lastly, animal sanctuaries would create jobs for the former zoo keepers so they can still look after animals. Sanctuaries would also have jobs for the not fully qualified zoo keepers to study. Sanctuaries would educate students who are interested in animals.

The Oak

Leaves cling onto the fragile twigs 

Branches make a wobbly staircase up the trunk 

The topmost leaves scrape against the sky

Whilst the tree itself blocks my view of the sun

Spiky twigs stretch out

pale white snowdrops cast shadows 

the low sun smiles

Cool wind brushes by
peaceful daffodils shining
the low sun smiles

My Most Embarrassing Moment

My most embarrassing moment was when I was Rip Sticking down our school
drive way, I'd seen all my friends and class mates go down it before. But this was
my first time. Just as I started racing down the drive way hill, I planed my way down,
but I soon realized that I couldn't I go any where after I went down the hill. I couldn't carry on down the road, I shouldn't go down the path way because that would ruin it, so my only option was to ride of the drive way and go on the grass. I did try but I failed miserably. What I did was my front wheel
slipped on a piece wood that was lining the drive way, and then I soon realized I was flying through the air! I then smashed onto the ground. Crowds of laughter filled the top field where every one who was waiting for the bus. I felt my face go as red as a tomato. Now that was my most embarrassing moment!

Super Powers!

If I could have super powers I would have, the ability to control the clouds, to breath under water, to control plants e.g. trees, grass, vines, e.t.c. Plus, what would be really cool, I would have the ability to fly! Like every other super hero! Now that would be cool.

What Animal would I want to be?

What animal would I want to be?

I would want to be a bird at a zoo or an animal sanctuary.It would be cool to be a bird there because at a sanctuary there's heaps of other birds there so I wouldn't have to worry about having no friends.The zoo keepers would also feed me good food, so I wouldn't have to worry about that either.Plus I could have the ability to fly!
