As her long brown hair swirls side to side you can feel the air brush past you as she glides her way thru the traffic caused by people. She walks past with her head down still thinking about what just happened. Her eyes are as glossy as a new shiny green metallic car whizzing thru the town. She's wearing a cheap new shirt that has a mustache on it with ripped shorts at the bottom as people stare her eyes balls began to water like a glass ball that was polished to the death. The tears drag down her face like a weight on top of my eyes. As she gets to her destination she orders a steamy black coffee as she sits down and glares at it she can see her salty tears dripping into her into her coffee and stares blankly into the dark coffee.As she slurps it she can feel the warmness touching her delicate lips with freshly applied watermelon lip balm. When she takes her last and final sip she can see a girl with blond hair with shimmering blue crystal eyes. As i look up from the coffee i can see her beautiful eyes staring at me i glance and smile. She looks at me and laughs and says “are you alright” i fake smile and say “Sure”. She grins and walks off with her hands on her hips.I stand up and walk off with my head down grinning as if i just died but really i did.

Poi ingredients
Wool x3 different colours (Tess)
Plastic bags (Caitlin)
Scissors school provided
Sellotape school provided
First
you get some wool about the length of your forearm (from your elbow to your middle finger tip).This will make a short poi. If you want to make a long poi, the length of the wool should be from your shoulder to the tip of your middle finger. You will need six strands of wool
Second
Next you tie a knot at one end and then you do a 3 plait starting from the knot. Make sure when you finish plaiting you knot the other end leaving enough strands of wool to tie around the ball of stuffing.
Third
Grab a bunch of stuffing and scrunch it up into a ball about the size of a fist. Put the leftover strands around the ball of stuffing and tie the strands to hold the ball in place.
Fourth
Then put the plastic bag over the stuffing and gather it at the last knot you made and tie with wool or string to hold it together.
Fifth
Trim the plastic beneath the tie.
Sixth
To finish off wrap sellotape around the tie.

Free writing task
In writing we have been doing workshops. I'm in miss robertson's workshop. For this writing we had to write a normal story and if she said something we had to put it in our writing. This is mine that i did.
Here we are at the baby shower i drag my feet to the table to grab a snack and run my hand across it, it was as soft as bread. I pick up some grapes and hear a whisper from my mum reminding me to say thank you to my sister for everything.I go outside and go sit by the huge tree in the backyard and start to write a story.As my dreams wander off the pages i can see it all coming to life

Boy in the stripped pyjamas
For this term did literacy circles and our group choose the boy in the striped pyjamas. The book was written by John Boyne. It was a really sad but interesting story I really enjoyed reading it. It was very sad at the end. I learnt heaps of new things.The book was written on the 5th January 2006. This is what the book is about.The Boy in the Striped Pajamas Summary. In The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Bruno meets a young Jewish boy named Shmuel, a prisoner in Auschwitz. After disguising himself as a prisoner in striped pyjamas Bruno is killed along with Shmuel when they're herded into the gas chambers. If you would like to get the book out it looks like this.
