Hong Kong and the Vanitiy Fair

Chapter 1

“Cassie!”, a voice called out from the kitchen.

“Eh! What?!” was the sharp reply, “I’m putting on my make-up!”

“Never mind make-up! Come here now!

A tall gazelle-like girl slowly into the kitchen, her perfect brown curls bouncing with each graceful step she took.

” I’ve got something to tell you” sighed Cassie’s father, Jonathon as Cassie hitched herself up onto one of the white barstools. She eyed up her father’s old shirt and ruffled hair, definitely not a good look.

“Again?!” Cassie glared at her Dad, “You called me two minutes ago!”

“Yes, well, I need you to get ready.”

“Ready for what?”

“We’re going out tonight.”

“Out where?”

“To a restraunt, big Italian place”

“Oh”

“Your mother is coming from work. She’s meeting us there”

“Whatever Dad!”

“We’ve got some devastating-I mean, probably very exciting-no, em, we’ve something to tell you.”

Look out for Chapter 2!!

Reading

Reading is fun,

but never use a gun.

If you use it ,eveything you

read will fade.

Your knowledge is gone!

You have died,

the books have cried.

What can we do now,

i don’t think we have anything

to do now!

Butterflies

I saw a butterfly,

flying very high.

It was very bright

ang it caught my sight.

I saw a blue one fly

and another came flying by…

Bobo

Onceupon a time there, lived Bobo.It was night and Bobo was tucked up in his bed with his father telling a story.The lamp is shining brighty on top of Bobo’s bed.In the room everything is made from wood.The wardrobe is wooden.They lived in a caravan in the countryside and it stood there by itseif,all alone by the woods.There lived a wolf who tried to eat Bobo. One day when he went to play with his friends, they had a nice time playing. When they finished playing they went home and left Bobo by himself. He saw the wolf. He ran to his home and took a spear and tried to kill the wolf two times. At last he had killed the wolf that used to eat children. Bob was happy.

The Jouney of the Chivalry of the Avenger

“Batten down the hatches,” yelled captian Hoeseason of the ‘Chivalry Of The Avenger,’ “The storms brewin faster than we realised!” Hoeseason was cut short as a volley of cannon fire crashed through the hull of the ‘Chivalry’. The dark sky was a perfect place for a sea duel, the two galleons looked like they were caught in a whirlpool. They circled each other. The sun was completely blacked out thanks to the clouds. Rain started to pour like buckets being thrown over the Earth. “how much damage Firson?” Hoeseason cried through the pouring rain.

“Too much sir!”

“You first officers, you never give good news do you?!” replied Hoeseason sarcastically but once again he was cut short as more volleys flew out of the enemy ship. “Are the cannons okay?”

“Aye sir they’re ready to fire,” yelled out second  officer Douglas

“Send them to the bottem to the sea,” replied Hoeseason. Another volley flew out of the Chivalry and the approaching ship filled with water. The ship we later knew as the Gallantry, sailed straight towards the Chivalry.”Draw your Blunderbusses my mates. FIRE,”yelled Hoeseason just as the crew of the Gallantry swung their tackle and jumped onto the Chivalry. A terrible fight broke out between the two crews. Just as the fight almost came to an end a new ship came into view. The Valour, and the Gallantry’s crew jumped onto the deck of the Valour and before we could catch them they sailed into the setting sun. We gave up trying to catch up and sailed away to the place we called home, a bayou off the coast of Luisiana. As we sailed and the days went by, we restored the Chivalry to its former glory. That was when Hoeseason thought that something fishy was going on. “All men to the deck” yelled Hoeseason, his own scottish accent beggining to return to him. All men rushed to obey. It was one of those days  that a storm could be seen at least three hours beforehand.The red sun was slowly creeping to the west and hte clouds were gathering with what speed they had. The crew thinking that they knew thier captain better than each other, Ran to secure the barrels of gunpowder and supplies that they needed. “What on earth are you doing? Line up smartly now. I knew it, I just knew it” whispered Hoeseason to himself. “Men we’re Missin’ three men if you haven’t  already noticed. We shall continue to our bayou. Grab me brother and his ship. Get supplies and head for the Valour. It’s headed to the Carribean and are going to sell them as Slaves.

To a tree by Miriam

O tree,

Who knows how long ago

A seed fell to the ground

And was covered by the soil

And began to grow

Into a tree.

 

O tree,

Who knows how many birds

Perched on you

And built their nests

As you grew

Into a tree.

 

O tree,

Who knows what you felt

As wood from your sister trees

Was nailed into you

And a box was built

In the tree.

 

O tree,

I know how you feel

As I look out the window

Smiling at you -

A perfect tree

For a treehouse.

Sharks

Super sharks are blue and wonderful

happy sharks are very cheery

And they are very silk and smooth

ravenous sharks  can be big and scary

knowing sharks there not that scary

so help them stop being extinct!!!
