Where Would You Live?

Would you like to live in the mountains, on the beach or in the desert? Why?

I would like to live in the mountains. I would like to live in the mountains because you can have picnics. You can swim. You can see animals. You can see the waves.

Colour Poem

If I were pink I'd be a flamingo or I'd be cotton candy.
If I were red I'd be cranberry juice or I'd be a book.
If I were gold I'd be a beanbag or I'd be a ton of gold.
If I were orange I'd be an orange or I'd be paper.
If I were violet I'd be a plum or I'd be a shirt.

Pip's Pet, Spotty Gets Lost

Once upon a time there was a yellow caravan in the corner of a lonely but a pleasant field. In the caravan there lived a girl called Pip. She dressed oddly. She tied her hair with purple spotted hair bands. She wore stockings. On the left leg she wore a yellow and orange striped stocking and on the right she wore a red and purple striped stocking. She kept a red spotted dog called Spotty, a cat with white and brown stripes called Silly Milly, a cow with red, green, pink, yellow, orange, purple, brown and black called Pol. They played hopscotch, hide-and-seek and tag on sunny days. Some miles away there was a miniature town Her mom lived in the miniature town. Her mom had a job in the town so Pip did not see her much. There was always a festival once a month. Pip always went to the festival. She played games, bought popcorn, juice, decoration, for the caravan and best of all, triple ice-cream! She bought melon on the top, banana in in the middle and chocolate on the bottom. They often rode the roller coaster. "Whoopee!" they would say when the coaster went up. One sunny day in July, they went to the festival. She took Spotty, Silly Milly and Pot. On the way she picked some pink flowers. When she got to the festival, Spotty was nowhere to be seen. "Oh no!" said Pip. "Moo, moo!" mooed Pol. "Meow, meow!" meowed Silly Milly. They left the festival looking for Spotty. They searched everywhere, but they could not find Spotty. They searched the caravan too, but they still could not find Spotty. They could not sleep that night. In the middle of the night Pip felt a tongue licking her hand when she pulled down the bedcover there was Spotty! "Wake up Milly and Pol!" Milly and Pol woke up. When they saw Spotty they mooed and meowed with joy. Spotty ran under the bed and came out with another dog which had red spots just like Spotty. It looked as though it was his girlfriend. Pip named her Spoteena. They bought a bed for her. It was red and blue spots just like Spotty's. They lived happily ever after with their new pet Spoteena.

Her third pet was puny chicken that laid purple eggs. The last one of her pets was an immense snake that had twenty two heads. The girl caravan was filled with her pet's food. The dragon ate tons of corn and the snake loved to eat pumpkins. The chicken's favorite food was mini tomatoes .Sweet oranges where rabbit's favorite food. Grace had long hair and was short. She always wore t-shirts that had numbers on its front. Everyday in the evening she took her pets for a walk, but fire ball the dragon was too lazy to walk. One day, when Grace took the pets for a walk the dragon decided to stay at the caravan all by itself. While Grace took the other pets, the dragon did something very dangerous. It breathed fire around the caravan. The field all around the caravan caught fire. When Grace returned from her evening walk, she found out that her caravan and the field were burning. She and her pets jumped on the dragon. The dragon flew away to safety.

Dear Queen of England,

I wonder if you would borrow me $80,000 for my big expedition to Atlantis, the lost island? I am going to search in the Australian ocean. You will win on this because I am going to be rich when I find this island. I will give you money and you will be famous because you gave me the money so I could find the island.

And if the story about Atlantis is not true, I will be your slave all my life. But, I am not going to be your slave because I'm sure we should have 8 continents not 7. And if you do not want to give me the money, I am going to ask the bank. They always give money and then the bank is going to be famous and not you!

Helge

P.S.Please give me the money!

Where are the Dictionaries?

One day all the dictionaries disappeared! I wonder why? It would affect me by not knowing the words! I will forget all the words and the whole world will forget and there would be absolutely no talking. If the Japanese would not have a Japanese-English dictionary, they would not be able to speak! The Swedish, Russians, Indians, Africans, Europeans, Asians, Eskimos, North and South Americans, Antarticans, and the Australians too!

KESEST

If I found an unknown insect, I would name it KESEST. The first KE is from my name KEN. SE is from insect and ST is from forest. The KESEST has two long beautiful wings. It has a thin body but its bottom part is big because it will lay eggs. It has eight hooked legs. Its head is circle shape. It's eyes are diamond shapes. It's eyes look like a dragaonfly's eyes. Its mouth is like a bird. It has two antennas if it is night or a dark place the antennas will flash. It hates very hot places. Its bottom part it has a poisonous needle. Needles can kill animals but not humans. It sucks blood of animals.

WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS? The researchers are searching for an unkown insect so I want to find the insect that's why I chose this insect.

Halloween Party

At the Halloween party, we played many games. We had donut catching, blind worms ghost picking, candy throwing, and touching yucky things. We do donut catching every year. I think the games were fun except for touching yucky things. It was yucky. All of the costumes were fantastic. Kysa and Chieko were princesses. One of the Japanese teachers and Joel were pirates. Govind was a pumpkin man. Helge was a ghost. Ken was a horse. Adelinn was a frog. Travis and I were awitch and wizard. Mrs. Hieb was an artist. Aparna and another Japanese teacher were cowgirls. Vicky was a pumpkin girl. And Ms. Bzdel and Taylor were pajama kids. For lunch, we had pizza. We had many kinds of pizza. Salami and Hawaiian were the best. After lunch we saw movies. In the senior room, we saw Charlie Brown and the in the other room, The Haunted Mansion was on. I don't like scary movies, so I watched Charlie Brown. Just before going back home, we had trick or treating. We got a lot of snacks. Our bags broke with heaviness. It was a spooky but fun day!
