Percy's Journey

Hi! This is a story that I wrote for my school.  I hope you like it! 

In the middle of the night Percy ran through the forest. He could hear the leaves crunch below his feet. The sapphire blue light searched for his body. He was covered in mud. Branches snagged his clothes. His heart was racing. Percy didn't know the danger until he entered the forest.

Suddenly, Percy saw a flash and realized that he was in a dark stone cave. He heard someone talking to another person. The voice whispered, "Tonight we shall eat this boy, even if he is thin." Percy heard a laugh and footsteps. The voice was gone. He was so scared. His heart was pounding. He was sweating. He was really nervous.

He tried to find a solution. He saw some crystals that now covered the entrance. "What should I do?" he muttered to himself. There was nothing he could do; he was trapped. He thought there was no hope. What would happen now...?

All of a sudden, Percy saw something shimmering on the floor. He ran towards the object. It was a sword! He thought and thought.... Finally he had an idea. He sliced through the crystals. The light from the moon shone down on him. He breathed in the fresh air. He couldn't believe it. He was free.

I won an award called the 'Golden Goat Award' for the most unusual story.  Can you tell how happy I was?

Please do leave me some comments regarding my story in the comments section below.

My Trip to Bali

Did you know that I went to Bali? Well, I kept a diary while we were there! This is what I wrote:

                 

Saturday 28th of March

Today we arrived at Bali! A guy named Ari picked us up and brought us to the Villa. I like the villa but it is kind of dirty. I think it is dirty because I saw a frog, geckos and a spider. It was still fun though. The owner of the villa showed us around.

Sunday 29th of March

Today was more exciting than yesterday. We went to eat breakfast by the beach! The owner of the Vvlla's name is Paul and today we found out that he has a dog. We saw that his dog (Flynn) sat on the motorbike with Paul. When my brother and I were walking around in the sand, Paul came to me and asked if I wanted to get my hair braided with beads. I wanted to so I said yes and followed him, but it took about one hour.   :(

Monday 30th of March

Today we went to a lot of places such as: Batik (fabric, dresses, fans and other stuff shop), Gold and Silver shop (sells jewelry), Rice Terraces, Tanah Lot (a place to take beautiful pictures of sunsets), Monkey Park, a coffee and tea-tasting place (where we learnt how to kopi luwak is made and where we actually had a taste of it!). We also had dinner in a restaurant where there was a cultural show.

Tuesday 31st of March

Today we stayed home and just chilled. We watched Harry Potter Goblet of Fire and my mom and grandma had a massage.

This is what we have done so far but I will add to this later.

Valentine's Day!

Hi, I'm sorry I have not done a blog post for so long, but you should be HAPPY, right? Because now I have something to share with you........

VALENTINES DAY!

I went to my friend's party (for Valentine's Day) and it was very fun! We played games, we decorated cookies, and we got to eat the cookies we decorated!  One of the games we played was Pin the Lips on Mr. and Mrs. Valentine.  My lips went to the tip of Mrs. Valentine's chin.  Somebody pinned the lips to the ear!  That was so funny!

I also made some artwork for my mom,dad, and my brother, Xtremeo! (<this is a link). Here it is!

I think my dad is the best dad ever because he is funny and he is very much like me!

I did this for my mom because she is very caring, kind and gives me cuddles everyday!

This piece is for my brother because he gave me a Pikachu and I love Xtremeo very much!  :)

I hope you like my art work but there is one more piece. My mom made one for me!!!

-from my mom (a.k.a. Buckeroomama - another link!)

Thank you for reading my post! Bye!!

Drawings

Do you like drawing? I LOVE drawing! In this post I am going to tell you about my drawings. Let's get started!

1.

Do you realize that this is the picture I used for my
profile picture?

2.

The whole reason I did this is because my school held a book cover
competition.  This is based on a scene in Thea Stilton Dancing Shadows.

3.

For Halloween we stuck this on our door so that people would know that
we welcome Trick-or-Treaters.

4.

Tooth Fairy card!

5.

This is a drawing tutorial on how to draw things that just pop up in my mind!

6.

Here is another card for the Tooth Fairy  (She might read my blog)!

I hope you like these pictures! Please comment on which one you like the most and why!

My Happy Halloween!

My Halloween was GREAT!  How about yours? I went as a cat-witch! We went trick or treating and I got 18 candies in total! My favorite bit was when I had my face paint on. Anyways I still got LOADS of candy because my mom had to give candy to the trick-or-treaters so I got loads of candy!

Here are some pictures.

This is me in my costume and face paint. 

This is me and my friends!

Did you have a great Halloween?  Did you go trick or treating? What was your costume (if you did wear a costume)?

Poems

We had a Skype session in school with Ken Nesbitt.  He is a poet who writes lots of silly poems.  During our Skype, he showed us his website where there are loads and loads of his poems.  Our class and Mr. Nesbitt made up a poem together called Playing With Your Food where we gave him food words that rhymed and he put everything together into a poem.

Below is what we came up with (the first and third stanzas) during the Skype.  The second stanza (in pink) is what I added. (A stanza is like a paragraph in a poem. My mom told me that!)

Playing With Your Food

Swimming with sushi.

Tennis with tomatoes.

Skipping with spaghetti.

Polo with potatoes.

Golfing with grapes.

Bowling with beets.

Hockey with honey.

Sailing with sweets.

Baseball with bacon.

I'm in an awesome mood!

Nothing is better than

Playing with your food 

~

Here is one that I made up, called Imagine.

Imagine

Imagine a stew

That tastes like glue.

Imagine James

Went up in flames.

Imagine Mary

Is really hairy!

Imagine a hill

That is on a grill.

Imagine dough

That could sew.

Just imagine!

I hope you like the poems! Oh, and just if you wanted to know how to make a funny poem, the trick I used was to make the words rhyme.  It could rhyme every line or sometimes every other line!  Try it --it's fun!
