Samoa by Suli

I feel sad. I wonder what Samoa is going through right now. I’m worried about my family. Are they hurt? Where are they? What happened to them? I just don’t know. I hear “It’s demolished” and I feel guilty because I’m not there. I care about my family. I want to be there and hold them tight.
 
Saying Sorry
Wednesday, 04 November 2009 11:28

Wednesday, after recess, is the time we gather to talk about resilience and values. Over the last few weeks we have been exploring what happens when friendships become a little shaky.This week students from 34C, 345J and the Multiage Class focussed on the importance of saying sorry. After reading the National Apology and the poem 'Apology', by Judith Voist, we brainstormed some helpful reminders about how to say sorry. Here they are ...

Do's  Don'ts 
  • talk about what you are sorry for
  • walk away
  • talk about what you will do differently in the future 
  • swear or shout
  • tell the truth
  • be violent
  • be helpful and nice to the person in the future
  • say sorry if you do not mean it
  • mean what you say
  • do it again
  • look at the person you are apologising to
  • don't leave it too long
  • be friendly
  • don't say it angrily
  • change your behaviour
  • make it worse by fighting
  • talk calmly
  • don't say sorry because you should or are told to
  • think about ways to repair the damage
  • laugh at others
  • take responsability for your actions and say sorry
  • ignore others or the problem
  • think about the next step
  • offend others
  • show respect to the other person

 

  • ask for help if needed

 

  • remember the problem so it doesn't happen again

 

  • move on after the problem is solved

 

  • calm down before you say sorry

 

  • accept other's meaningful apologies

Wednesday, 04 November 2009 12:15

A tunacorn is a rare creature with two heads. It looks a bit like a unicorn. This mythical adventure tells a tale of a mother tunacorn who dies, leaving behind her son tunacorn to survive on his own. His homeland is changing for the worse. Every day the sun lasts only hours, the days were becoming shorter.

 
OHHHH! by Terance
Monday, 02 November 2009 12:35

It was the 31st of October 2009. My football friends, Karl, Christian, Ben and I went to a plane crash site that happened 22 years ago. CRACK! A stick snapped. Luckily it was only Christen treading in the moist grass. We made it to the plane crash site.

“Karl’s scared,” said Christian.

“You too,” Karl answered.

“Wait, why are we here again?” I asked.

“To prove there are ghosts out there,” replied Karl. 

“Anyway, let’s get all this on video,” Ben said, reaching for the video camera. “I brought it,” he said. 

Ben is normally organized, Christian is quite strong, and Karl is skinny and humorous. Just then the plane door sudden opened and the trees were rustling rapidly. The plane was moving, rocking from side to side. SLAM! went the door.  A ghostly figure appeared from nowhere. We all froze with fear, the ghost flew towards us. Ben looked across at Christian and Karl. Christian stepped backed and tripped over a branch. Everyone except  Christian ran like lazers. Christian scrambled on all fours like a bear that had been ambushed. He ran and caught up to the others who were running. The ghost was following them. The others turned right but I went straight. There was a cliff ahead, I skidded and stopped. I slipped over the edge and I hung there by my fingers, gripping the roots of trees.  I heard a voice above.

“I need a body,” shrieked the ghost. 

I knew it had me. “AAAAAAAAAAAAGH”.

 
Skull Treasure by Jake
Monday, 02 November 2009 12:09

“Die humans,” said the King Skull. Then the king raised his golden sword and swung it. The shiny blade cut though the human’s body. The Army Skulls came and launched over 200 bombs. They hit 100 humans. One dragon and one griffin came attacking each other. The fire breathing dragon laid an egg and a baby devil came out. More skulls came out of the ground and King Skull told them to go and guard the treasure.

When the wars were over the griffin transformed into a green dragon and the treasure was opened.
