The Bad Luck Duck

 WALT: Use creativity when creating images.

Today in writing we had to make a story about our school duck with an image.

 My story is based on a duck that hated being the exact same duck as its family, so at the age of 8 with boat training and enough bravery left for good, well he thought. after a year and a bit he found a new island to live on after the old ones had trouble. Accept surprisingly it was his family's island. 

This story made me excited and wanted to write more. Here is my image,

Do you have a school duck?, what does it look like?

African Drum Visitors.

 WALT: Write a report on school events.

Today we had some talented African drummers come into New Brighton Catholic School. We were taught interesting new things. they started by showing a surprisingly LOUD song, including dancing, drumming and singing. They used Shekere, Djembe and  Xylophones, 

Then there were single drums in front of the stage, while people got turns. I was chosen! We started by doing hand/arm warm-ups to prevent soreness throughout our arms. Then he counted to 4 and we had to try go the fastest we could! Then we added some dancing with singing, the African drummers joined in too, creating blasting terrific music you can hear from about a mile away. Then we did this African song!

After that we learnt some basic dance moves, from another African drumming song! The dance moves gave most students a smile of joy on their faces. Then me and Kate got up and thanked them for their time and as well with extreme effort.

Story: Strength

The bare struggles reach within, not giving up. The hooves almost slip, but he held on, tight. He has wanted to experience some other animal stances, but it was tricky. Although, even though it was hard. He did not give up! After climbing he met some intense vines looping the tree. He kept going, not knowing one thing. The vines were dry, also VERY spiky.

He felt extraordinarily pain, crawling down his arm. He made it too the top. But ended up tottering about half way, terrifically he gave up. And became a koala. Lets be honest, for a few seconds before the tree branch snapped...
