      A Fantas-stick friend

Have you been looking for that ultimate prank object? do you just want that perfect friend? do you want that extra pop of uniqueness in your home/workspace? Well seek no more because I present you…   A stick. This is no ordinary stick this is a SUPER stick with 99% natural wood and 1% brain power, it has feelings too. It lets you know when it needs water or food. It know when it´s about to snap because It will make a crackling sound. Those are only just some of the reasons.

Firstly, THIS IS NOT PLASTIC that's right it's totally wood and do you want to know how we make these sticks? Thats right we take old  branches  and we sand them down to the right size to sell to one LUCKY person. And do you want to know something else interesting? Well… these sticks are completely from trees. We don't make fakes we get them completely from trees like palm trees, fallen trees, unique trees and the list just goes on!

Secondly, It won't leave you behind. And what I mean by that is it will never leave you behind because it's not made to leaf you behind as they are especially built to stick with you. Also It just won't leaf you behind because it doesn't have LEGS because it doesn't come with body parts (body parts optional and could be purchased separately).

Lastly, it can help you in all ways for example it could be a walking stick for long bush walks or hiking. Or, it could be used for blind people that can't see, they can poke stuff  to see where they are going. It can be used as many other things but if I said all of it then it would take forever

In conclusion I believe that this unique, one of a kind stick is perfect for you, a friend or a family member so, what are you waiting for!? Get down to your local stick or nature store to get your special stick for all the right reasons!

perswasive writing

for the last couple of weeks we have been dong lots of persuasive writing here is one of many of them

 school uniforms are everything

Are you fatigued from washing clothes over and over and OVER again? Because I Believe that it's important that we have uniforms because everybody is the same and nobody is different, It feels good to show that you’re part of a particular school

and you won't ruin your clothes.

Firstly,everyone is the same when they wear uniforms and what I mean by that nobody would look different If we all wear the same thing. Another thing is that If you were wearing a different style of clothes like for example a style from the 80S other kids would bully a child that is different.

Secondly a child would feel good to represent their school and by that I mean they would be proud to be part of the school they go to and also if a child is wearing normal clothes some people might think that the child is not going to a school and others might call the police and the caregiver could go to jail.

And lastly you won't ruin other clothes and I mean that if you wore normal clothes to school you might rip them or get them dirty and then your mum or dad will have to do lots of washing and the other reason is that you  Will have more choice of clothes to wear over holidays or weekends.

  

persuasive writing

• The reasons why with supporting ideas

A purr-fect friend for Ms McLeod

No pun intended

Did you know that a cat has a smooth,soothing purr,so I think ms Mcleod should buy a cat because they are cute and cuddly,cheaper than a dog and if you own a cat you have a 40% less chance of dying of a heart attack

Firstly, I think ms Mcleod should buy a cat because they are soft and furry. Also they comfort you by rubbing their head on your leg. Also It can help you relax and sleep but the best thing is got to be their faces because they are so cute especially If their face looks angry It makes them look so cute.

Another reason is that a cat is more cheaper than a dog and what I mean by that is a cat needs less attention because it doesn't need lots of toys because a dog likes attention,For example when you leave your house a dog will start howling and barking but a cat will just be like eh whatever and wander around the house all day.

Finally I think ms Mcleod should get a cat because for some weird reason if you have never owned a cat before you have a 40% more chance of dying of a heart attack now… It may sound peculiar but a cat can ease the pain when you have a heart attack,also scientist have talked about the myth and is believed to be REAL.

In conclusion I think Miss Mcleod should get a cat, because the are amazing cuddly animals that need less attention and can lower the chance of dying of a heart attack. So stop what you are doing! And hit up your local pet store to get you Purr-fect purring friend so please consider buying one of these furry animals for only a few dollars.

Holiday recount

Plan

-on Monday Logan came to my house

-we  played mini golf

-we went to time zone

-i won

In the holidays Logan came over on Monday. He came over at 10 o'clock first my dad made some pizza before we left to go to timezone. When we finished delicious  the pizza we got in the car. When we got on the road it wasn't as busy like it always is. When we were nearly there we saw red and blue flashing lights in front of us at a  junction.

There was a car crash so we had to take a detour round the junction. So we drove down a street and at the end of the street  we turned left and then turned right. After turning a lot we arrived yay!!. when we walked inside there was a lot of peoples as always. We walked to the counter to put the money on the card.

The first game I played was a claw machine. it had 100 ticket boxes in it and there was one box that was in a good position to pick up so I swiped my card and lined it up to pick up the box.But when I pressed the button to pick it up it went down halfway and closed. After that we went to the counter to chew up the worker  why the machine did not work. when the conversation between dad and the worker so the worker gave me a free game but when I tried it again it did the same thing so we avoided that machine. The next game I played was the same game but it's the upstairs version and I got a 100 ticket box from it.

After that Logan went and hit the jackpot in lollies. When he hit the jackpot i saw a sour tongue drop on the push bar so I said that if he could get the sour tongue drop I would give him the 100 tickets. Out of nowhere he got the tongue drop so I gave him the box then I played a car racing game.The car I choose was a Nissan Silvia s13 in the custom version and I came first. After that we went to McDonald. Once we finished we went home and Logan got picked up.

                       

Star Explosion Writing

STAR EXPLOSION


For the last few weeks we have been doing learning how to write paragraphs in our writing and making them more descriptive.

Star Explosion

When a star is going to explode it means it's the end of the star's life. Then it begins its process of the explosion. It happens in four parts.

At first it doesn't look like a explosion but inside is a boiling fuse ready to explode. It swaps color between yellow,orange and red that means that it’s ready to explode. I think that it does this so that more stars can fit in and shine bright. This makes me wonder. what aliens think they are?

Then  the red starts to fade away and then the orange gets darker. then the flame starts to bubble outside of the circle. that means that inside the star it is expanding and trying to push out. And then all of a sudden yellow blobs of fire emerge from the star. This makes me wonder,What does a star explosion look like from earth?

The yellow spots turn into a blue flame. Wow!!! a big flash just like a camera.This  means it's blowing up. When the flash goes away the star is now and blue that is the hottest flame. this makes me wonder how long do stars live?

Now the star is blue that means it is very hot!. and then all of a sudden the blue star starts to expand and get bigger. it has 3 colors they are,a dark blue,a neon blue and a whitish color. The star is as bright as the night sky. This makes me wonder how hot is it?.
