Here I was in a dark, cold damp room. the only light I got was through the metal bars. never got much food, didn't get to see my family. When I thought I would die here, the door opened, I saw an outline of a person, but because the light was so bright it was a shadow.
"come out now," said the shadow. In an instant, I knew who it was... I run out the door and there I looked at the person, I could not see and I did not know if to run for my life or to stay and see why the person let me out, I stayed.
the person said in a voice, I almost remembered. " Jimmy Jimmy, how are you, my old friend," he asked"we are not friends! you framed me, that's why I am in here, you" I screamed. well after that, I had no Idea that my family was waiting at the door for me with lots and lots of food, but the thing that most impresses me was all day, every day I got to see the light. I love light, it is the most loved thing on the planet. And in my house, I get carpet and blankets, even a bed. It is much better than a dark, cold damp room, don't you think.
I could not imagine my house like that. and the most thing I love is that every night I get a kiss and a hug from all of my family, "yay I love home! Yay" well at least it is better than the dark cold, damp room anyway. "yay!" I run around looking for more food, I can;t wait to go to bed again! This was the craziest day EVER!!!

Drawing. It can be very fun and you can go into your own world of imagination! All you have to do is grab a piece of paper and get a pencil… as you can see here on the right this person has gone into his/her own world and drawn this, amazing right? Well anyone can do this and all you need to do is practice. There are lots of different types of drawing! And here I will tell you, what they are! Also, you will learn how to start and why.

Why you should start drawing. When you draw you can enter your own world of imagination! Just grab your pencil and get out of the world. It can also relax you, I have many times been in a fight with mom & dad, then just gone up to my room and drew, it helped me relax and I drew till tea time.

You can also make money from drawing stuff, I haven’t yet but I know you can!

How to get into drawing. In most towns like Greymouth, you can go to art classes. I did that for about 3 weeks and then it stopped. Also if you are older like 40yrs old you can go to stampin’ up parties, I have been to one with my mom and it’s really cool, so I am not going to spoil it. You can also start at home, go onto youtube and search up something like “ beginners guide to drawing .”

As time progresses you will get better and better at drawing, so I do suggest getting into drawing!

What happens if you get pro enough? Well, you can set up a stall in a local market and sell it, this means you get extra money, and can get into a new routine. Like on Sunday you sell your art, and then all through the week, you make MORE. You can get more customers, and more money, but make sure your art is good enough to sell!

In this drawing guide, you learned…

• Why you should start…
• How you can start…
• What happens if you turn pro…
• And what you need to start.

So I hope you think about starting and getting into it!! DRAW ON!!!

asTTle: Writing to Persuade. Topic: your opinion on fighting

“Bleep bloop blorp, GAME OVER The Axe Murderer won the #12 round do you want to play another round of Super Smash Bros?” the Tv screams at me I put my controller down the walk away. Today I am telling you, yes, I mean you… wait, don’t you believe me? Well… you're reading so I am guessing you're Intrigued, I am going to tell you what I think of fighting why It can be wrong and when it’s sometimes okay like defending yourself.

If you're trying to get a candy bar or something and then the shopkeeper accuses you of stealing and you have a go at him or her, that’s not necessary. I think you should just talk to him to ask why he thought you were stealing, you could just be going to the front of the shop to look at something else and you were going to come back to pay. It’s best not to start a fight in these situations. You can just talk.

Here is a scene where you can use self-defence like you find a robber getting away with, let's say some money, then you can tackle him and keep him from running away until the police come. Or maybe you're trying to protect someone you love, like you sibling, from a bear or someone who is a MANIAC TRYING TO KILL YOU!!! Sometimes your gut feeling could just save YOU. Wait you don’t believe me... well, don’t make me come out of the screen and come scream at you, cause I can TOTALLY do that… not. Back to the point self-defence is able to save you and anyone in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD, I wish I could write bigger, (sad face).

But also fighting can be bad, and I am not talking about play fighting, I mean real fighting. If you kill someone fighting them you’re going to be sent to jail, unless you have a good lawyer. The consequences can be really harsh sometimes. But I mean play fightings ok, just make some rules up and you should be fine, as long as the person you are play fighting with is as weak or as strong as you are.

So if you agree with me fighting can be bad and well, good. Hope you learned something or you might have already known all this stuff. Have a good day and don’t die (cheeky smile). “Bleep bloop blorp, GAME OVER the head slayer won the #34 round.” roars the tv “ARGGHHH I can never win” I scream again.

BTB Auction!!! :-D

Painting is fun but even more fun when you can eat it!
Hello, I am Bridget and today we did the BTB auction. The BTB auction is when us, rm 6, brings in stuff we want to auction off. We earn BTB points by working, finishing of tasks, and even if we tag a certain person in a game. At the end of the term, we do the auction! I had gotten 28 BTB points, this is what I got, an edible paint brush. ( it's actually chocolate!)

Today I am going to describe my special place…   The master bedroom of messiness!! I have spent a total of 7 years there and there are still more to come. Last time we had to write about friendship, that was hard, but with the skills I have learnt through the year I am going to make this BTB! Read to the end and your socks will be blown off!  { I hope… }

The bedroom. A place where disasters may occur. A place to relax. The only room in the house that I feel lost in a different world, if we weren’t here, I could not tell you this. The curtains have teddy bears on them, each one of them have a unique expression like everybody should. When I open the window, a soft breeze flows in like a cloud lost at sea. My owl is filled with a herb called lavender, and that gives the room a nice sense of freedom, I like to flop down on my bed and enter my own little world, I feel for my radio and turn that on, it’s like the war is over and everyone is free of danger, even though we are not.

If it is raining and cold, and the fire is going, I can wander over to the room with the chimney and close the doors trap heat in. It always feels like a warm tiny cottage where it is safe to hide. There is another little door in my room, that leads to a low roof and long 8 meters, once I had friends over and we were playing with the door and then I jammed my finger in it. It is also where is store all my junk and old toy that I don’t need anymore. The only thing is I don’t like leaving the door open for too long, because of those little rodents called mice. Yes, if one gets out we have to run the whole house down to just get it.

Just recently we got a nice cat named tucker, and he keeps down the numbers of mice. He comes up to my room sometimes and then dad shoves him down. Back to the story… The room of messiness is kept messy, if it is cleaned I cannot find anything, that means I can roar the house down like a lion. I can also listen to my weird voice if I want, but I choose not to. I have made many huts that have lasted for about a week, each one is different. The are many more different combinations that I can do, so until we move houses I am going to keep making those devilish huts, that hide me from my friends. When I am in them I need a torch otherwise I can’t see a thing like a bat, in other words, I am as blind as a bat in there.

That pretty much wraps it up, I have talked a little bit about some of what is looks like, what I do in there, where some doors lead to, and my huts that I made. I hope I have blown your socks off otherwise I still hope you enjoyed!!
