The Funeral

I was lying ,cuddled up in bed. It was warm. Then I heard a noise. My mum was calling me. "What now?" I thought, rolling my eyes. But I got up anyway.

When I got out to the lounge I could tell mum had been crying. Her eyes were red. "Great Grandma Betty has died" She said her voice quiet. I felt tears coming to my eyes. I also felt as if all the happiness had been sucked from the world .

I slowly plodded back to my bedroom like an slow elephant. Just think a few minutes ago I was thinking that the world couldn't be better.

When I got back to my bedroom I found it impossible to get to sleep but eventually I woke up in the morning to a loud "Crash!" feeling refreshed. What's that noise? I asked myself. The answer was this... We were going up to Dargaville for the funeral. BORING! It was a 3 hour drive to Dargaville!

2 hours later. "Mum we've eaten all the food and me and Rory are hungry!" I complained . "So you mean you have eaten the candy in the back?" she replied. "No!" I said stunned. "Then eat that," she said.

An hour later we arrived in Dargaville. We drove to a motel where we would be staying. That night my cousin stayed at the motel for hours.

The next day my family and I went to the florists to choose some flowers ,but mum just couldn't decide. In the end we chose some roses.

The funeral was fun... for about 5 minutes! People just said things. I didn't even understand half of what they said! I kept fiddling with a greenstone necklace Great Grandma Betty had left down to me . About halfway through the funeral I escaped outside.

After the funeral we went to bury her. Me and Rory put our roses  onto the coffin . Then I was asked  to hold a basket of flower petals and people came up one by one and took some flowers and threw them over the coffin. Once that was finished she was buried above her husband.

Once we buried her we went to a place that has something to do with the army . My Great Grandpa had been a soldier. After playing there for about an hour we went back to the motel.

Science Investigations

Well done to these students for all the hard work they put into their science investigations.

100 WC The Half Bridge

Avignon, a curious place, even more curious considering there is a bridge there, a bridge where you can't get to the other side!!!! Only 1 half is standing the other fell down years ago for reasons unknown. Apparently it killed a lot of people. Why did it fall down? Some people say a troll flattened it, others say a wizard made it vanish. Are the stories true? Some people also say it was bombed, some say it was burned down by a fire. Whatever destroyed it why do they keep the other part? Why do they have a song about it? Perhaps the song will tell us?

100 word challenge - SPCA

Lily woke up early one morning to the sound of chirping birds. She dragged herself out of bed and went downstairs. Downstairs her mum had some delicious, warm porridge waiting for her.

She got dressed and jumped into the car. She was volunteering at the SPCA with her best friend, Molly. On the way they picked Molly up. When they arrived they were told to deliver fresh food and water to the animals.

Finally, Lily thought, finally we can make a start on grooming. It was fun. From then on they helped at SPCA every Saturday.

The Worst Meal Ever!

Mouldy cheese ice-cream with cheddar cheese toppings.
I got served with some disgusting mouldy cheese ice-cream, with cheddar cheese toppings. I smelt it with sensitive nose. Aaaaaahhhhhhh! I got shocked. It smelt like raw cheese that was out on the bench for a year. 

My mum told me to taste it. I took a pinch. For a second or two I shivered. I felt suspicious and I felt yellow. Soon I took a pinch and put it onto my wiggly, jiggly tongue. Eeewwwwww! I spit everything out. Then quickly my wicked mum told me that the toppings had got some extra mayo sauce. I thought quickly in my mind that I should run upstairs into the bathroom. 

When Mum saw the empty plate on the ink bench she looked behind the door and she found me. She gave me more. I screamed!

For  dessert  my mother served me chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream and a big glass of chocolate milk .

Yuck! She made the chocolate milk out of  white paint and mud with bugs in it! The chocolate cake was made of crumbly dirt and sticky  mud ! I think I saw some worms sliding  through it ! As for the chocolate ice cream it is made of old ,thick paint and dirt.

While my mother wasn't looking I slipped it into the bin and pretended I had finished. She gave me more! Oh no!

I hate...  

Whenever we eat sour cream it makes my tummy scream!

The next night it makes my stomach tight.

Once again it's sour cream. I tell mum it makes my tummy scream.

Mum said your dad needs your tie, but okay if you don't want me to buy.

This time dad cooks.

Mum and dad don't like sour cream with toppings so this time it was dog droppings!

Yuck Yuck Yuck! But a good idea to not waste our bucks.

This time my brother tries while dad bails out of bed for work.

Christians making bowls of snails!

I do not like snails what slimy things!

Eventually it's nana and grandad.

While dad goes out to bid we have overcooked squid!

Ew! Because uncle Ben makes stew!

Finally it's my turn. I don't choose any of that.

I don't choose takeaways in fact!

I choose McDonald's and the family goes “Delicious!”

Puppy says “belicious” instead.

5 weeks later Mary comes over.

She comes to see Rover eat slugs.

He loves to eat bugs!

After that we finally only eat yum things.

The End.
