A Time With My Friends

“Hahahaha” I chuckled as I saw the faces of my friends. Labour day was over and the year 7 & 8 students were lucky enough to do an activity called “The Amazing Race” organized by our brilliant teachers. We had been placed into groups of 4 to 5. My group and I were doing an activity called Cookie Face.

A race that requires control of all your facial muscles. You begin by setting a Cookie on your forehead, your task is to get the Cookie into your mouth without using your hands. Our faces were coated with crumbs. My group struggled to accomplish this simple task, I had given up so I began slowly snacking on my cookie.

As we arrived at the next activity I saw all the equipment set up and had a fair idea of what we were going to be doing. Our first task was the Weet Bix challenge. We picked a team member to take part in this event. We selected Iisa. As the students lined up they were given one Weet Bix each. “Ready, Set, Go” the teacher cheered.

The team representatives instantly began shoving Weet Bix into their mouths. Chewing rapidly their mouths were as dry as a desert. I saw pieces of food stuck to their teeth. They looked as if they were indisposed. Finally someone completed the race. The winner belonged to another team.

Next was a group a task. We need to eat two spoonfuls of cold spaghetti mixed with fruit salad which was revolting. I noticed that their where grapes in the bowl so I ate 2 grapes but it was worst because the grapes were soaked in spaghetti sauce

Overall I had an awesome time with my classmates. I would love to do it again. We all had a great time.

The Whisper

“A forest” John said looking at a forest. John was exploring his dad’s farm when he saw  a large forest near by. John always got into a lot of trouble. John slowly walked into the forest and there was just lots of trees. So he went deeper into the forest.

He loved exploring places so he was not very scared even though he was just 9 years old. He keep walking and walking when he said to himself, “I think I should go back” but when he turned around he realised that he was lost in the forest. “Help, help, is anyone there”he called. He carried on calling help for about 1 minute, but finally he stopped.

He sat down and started crying. As the sun set and the moon rose John fell asleep. In the morning John was hungry. Luckily John loved watching Man Vs Wild so he sort of knew how to survive. On one of the episodes, the man finds huhu grubs, so he got up and began looking for huhu grubs. He ran to a tree and ripped a long piece of bark and there in the tree were some huhu grubs.

John began eating them. He managed to eat all of it. When he finished he hear someone calling his name saying, “John, John” John recognized that voice, it was his grandma. “Grama, is that you, were are you”John replied. “You can‘t see me but follow the sound of my voice” John’s grandma whispered. John’s grandma had died because she had a heart attack. John followed her voice. It lead him back to the farm. “Thank you grandma, I love you” John said. “Just remember, I will always look out for you, no matter what” She replied. The End
