May and her friend, June, were dying in the heat of the scorching sun. They begged their parents to go to the Grey river. Often they go when the suns really hot, their parents don’t know but they jump off the bridge into the river. They run along the bridge ready to jump. May grabs June’s wrist in the nick of . “I have never seen the river bed so dry” May said. A scream pierced her ears. It was too late, June slipped, May not managing to catch her in time. May yelled for help, still to shocked to move.

Margaret never wanted a brother. But with her luck, she was bound for one. Her mother crossed out another day off on the calendar, “Two more days to go.“ she cried out. “Margaret, dear, would you help me with washing, I have to do it because your father made my favourite white dress minuscule,” She exclaimed. Margaret didn’t want to help with the washing because there was normally something sticky. Luckley she didn’t have to because her mother was rushed to hospital. SHE’S GOING TO HAVE A BABY! A week later, Marargot had a baby brother. She even forgave him.

The time of world war 2 Lizzie, her brother Karli and Mutti escaped the Dresden bombing with Marlene, a young elephant. After the they had to flee there homes among thousands of others in the middle of Winter. Can they keep themselves and Marlene safe?

If I could rate it out of 5 I would give it full marks. It was intriguing, emotional and special. If I could I would read it again and again.

Lizzie was my favorite character because she played a vital roll in the story and she helped people trust one another and find objects, people and animals. She also had a special connection with the reader.

In my opinion  its a good book for all ages and people who like reading about wars would love it!

Elsie was walking along a narrow path and she found an old concrete tower covered in ivy. Within an hour she had cleared it. Her little brother Sam came along and told her dinner was ready, so she left her work. That night she had a dream about what it was. First she thought that it was a tower, but then she thought it was a well or something like that. In the morning she went out to investigate. Elsie thought she heard a meow, but she shock her head in disbelief. Elsie looked inside and saw a adorable kitten.

Headin’ down south to the land of the pines
I’m thumbin’ my way into North Caroline
Starin’ up the road and pray to God I see headlights

I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I’m a-hopin’ for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey… mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey… mama rock me

I have many favorites but they some up to four series:

In the holidays I went to Dunedin and on the way back there was so much hail it looked like snow. We also saw a double rainbow!!!               

I also went to a surfing lesson and I got up on the surf bored on my second try!!!!!!!!

Margret walked to school, her parents were partly drunk from a party last night, so she had to look after her siblings. She looked up and saw her best friend,Chris standing there waiting for her. She had brown choppy hair held back by a navy bandanna. they walked inside and heard a scream, suddenly the bell rung. “what was that scream?” asked Margret. “I don’t know, lets go to class” said Chris. As they walked they heard someone say no, “Did that sound like a meow to you?” Asked Chris. “Arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” Their screams echoed. As suddenly, darkness enveloped the room.

Its almost been the first term of 2021.

Tec, in week 7 we went to Oamaru Intermediate school (O.I.S) .It was my first time and the year 7s got split up into two groups, I was still with some of my friends. We did hard materials with Mr Savage and Mr Sullivan. We made bird-feeders, wind-vains and pen and pencil holders.

Upper Waitaki swimming sports, I had came 1st in my frist race in freestyle and second in my first race in backstroke. I also got picked for the Duntroon relay team. When I did the relay I felt I was flying throw the water. I made it to the north Otagos where I came last in my freestyle because I was up against people from squad that train with a coach everyday. I came 3rd or 4th in my backstoke.
