The Monster Under The Bed
Intro
Once upon a time there lived a little 6 year old boy, his name was max. Max had a mother and father that read stories of monsters every night to themselves, of course they did not want max to find out that they read scary monster stories, or he would be scared every night, but what the parents did not know was that he was reading them night by night.
There was a twist whenever max’s parents read a monster book they would turn into the monster that they were reading about.
One day there lived a boy his name was max, he lived in a house with his mum and dad they were like any old family in the world, they take max to school and go to there jobs.
Max went to paper school, dad went to rainbow school and mum went to book school.Everyday dad would come and pick up mum and go and pick up max from their jobs and school.

Describe A Person
Describe A Person
As soon as I new that mum was having a baby i knew it was going to be the best moment of my life, she told me and my sister that she doesn't know if its a boy or a girl, obviously my sister wanted it to be a girl but i wanted it to be a boy. At that time i was 9 years old, so this was 4 years ago.I went to school for the next couple months, and then mum didn't come and pick us up dad did, and he said i have a surprise, so we went to the hospital and there he was, freddie. I was so excited having a brother, my sister was to but not as much as me.
From that day on, every day after school we would go there and say hello, I got to hold him when he was a bit older but he just cried he loved mum more back then.
Now 4 years later here we are, i am your best friend he tells me and i say it back.
He has blond hair just like me and is cute, well that's what i think, his personality is different to his looks, much different.
So before his 4th christmas his favorite thing to do was play on mums ipad, but he thinks its his so what ever he is 4.
After christmas we all got a tramp to share and that's all he really does now other than build huts with me or play on the ipad, drink milo's and eat biscuits, so that's really him, but there is a couple more thing you might want to now.
He doesn't really like watching movies, well he does but then he walks away, his imaginary animal is a Hunk Rat it lives in Belgebgmar and in that country it lives in the Gecko and his favorite food is quassi and polotho.

My Speech
Each of the pair of organs set within the rib cage, more of elastic sacs with split passages into which air is drawn, so that oxygen can pass into the blood and carbon dioxide be removed. Lungs are normal of vertebrates other than fish, though similar shape are present in some other animal groups.
|
The lungs are a pair of soft, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest called thorax.
The trachea (windpipe) control inhaled air into the lungs through its rare branches, called bronchi.
Then divide into smaller and smaller branches, finally becoming microscopic.
|
The bronchioles eventually end in clump of microscopic air sacs called alveoli.
In the alveoli, oxygen from the air is absorbed into the blood. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, travels from the blood to the alveoli, where it can be exhaled.
|
The lungs are covered by a thin tissue layer called the pleura. The same kind of thin tissue lines the inside of the chest cavity is also called pleura. A thin layer of fluid acts as a lubricant allowing the lungs to slip smoothly as they expand and contract with each breath.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Damage to the lungs results in difficulty blowing air out, causing shortness of breath.
Smoking is by far the most common cause of COPD.
|
Obesity breathing weirdly slow syndrome: Extra weight makes it difficult to expand the chest when breathing. This can lead to long-term breathing problems.Pneumothorax: Air in the chest; it occurs when air enters the area around the lung (the pleural space) abnormally. Pneumothorax can be caused by an injury or may happen spontaneously.
|
An infection caused by inhaling Histoplasma, a fungus found in the soil in the eastern and central U.S. Most Histoplasma pneumonia are mild, causing only a short-lived cough and flu.Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS): A severe pneumonia caused by a specific virus first discovered in Asia in 2002. Worldwide prevention measures seem to have controlled SARS, which has caused no deaths in the U.S

Graffiti Art
I made this graffiti art on the website called graffiti wall.
Leaf Art
As it is Autumn, we thought we would use some of the leaves, sticks and other natural products found on the ground to create some leaf animals. First we decided on our animal or mythical creature, then we planned out the leaves we would need to create our artwork. Once we collected our leaves we glued them on to the paper (some required hot glue guns) and then presented our art.
This is my slug alligator giraffe made of leaves. |

ANZAC: Dulce et decorum est
For writing we have been reconstructing a poem following the structure of Dulce et Decorum Est by
Wilfred Owen.
Miss Hooper read us instructions and we constructed our poem about ANZAC and the war.
Here is my poem:
The War:
Trench foot has came setting disease, struggling and sour, yelling and gunshots,
Blood everywhere, risk takers crossing no man's land.
Explosives blowing up, soldiers yelling and gunshots firing across the land,
Running as fast as I could back to safety.
Defend from the bombs can't hear for much longer, blind from the gas
Smoke polluting the sky, men tired, broken bones and sore heads.
Smoke polluting the sky, men tired, broken bones and sore heads.
Most men are unlucky and don't hear gas shells decided behind them,
While they walk in pain.
Gas is nearer get your masks and stay unharmed.
Proceed as rapid as you can to get the masks on.
Most of us are successful but one of us is too unhurried to put his mask on quick quick soldiers shouted but the gas has consumed his lungs.
The gas is thick like elephants skin and as green as the grass we can't see eachother anymore.
You feel powerless observing your mate running his fastest through the gas and seeing him cough to death.
His face is as grey as elephants skin as we toss him in the wagon he is in pain I can see it in his eyes he is tossing and turning in the wagon of blood he looks like he is going to die with tocsins in him and a scratched up face.
The disgusting sound of blood sloshing in the wagon on the uneven roads,
The growling sound of blood filling his lungs,
The dark green mucus coming up from his body,
It's the sound you never want to listen to.
If you have seen what I have seen,
You would never forget those horrors,
It is awesome to fight and die for our country,
