Ally's amazing text about a dream coming true ....

My crazy dream is true.

A pretty melody fills my ears and I can see a beautiful top model in the mirror.

I am so surprised because I have changed in to a top model.

My legs are long and my hair is long and straight, and I’m tall and very, very pretty.

Many people admire me. I am famous and popular. I go to fashion shows in Seoul.

People take pictures of me, I am a model walking on the cat walk.

I can wear skinny jeans and a pretty dress.

We were sitting around the crackling fire. Outside the wind was howling and roaring, while we were sitting here nice and safe. The fire was fissing and sizzling. The storm was blasting and the wind was terrible. The trees were falling to the ground like they were rocks falling to the ground. The thunder sounded like a detonation. But we were nice and cosy in here, so it didn’t worry us what was out there.

We were sitting around the crackling fire. Outside the wind was blowing and shrieking. The storm blew like a scary, terrible monster. The wind sounded like a roaring lion. The lightning hit a tree and the tree fell down. Luckily the burning fire made me feel so warm.

By Benjamin

We were sitting around the crackling fire. Outside the wind was so loud and so cold that I had to have many jumpers on. The thunder was so loud it was blasting my ears. The wind was screeching. It was terrible. The trees were falling like it was an earthquake, but luckily the fire was burning hot, so I wouldn't get too cold. The noise of the thunder was so loud it gave me a headache.

Treasure Hunt Story

The sun was shining and the sky was so nice and blue, a perfect day for a treasure hunt.

Before our adventure, we were divided into teams and we were given a captain. My team was Shu, Ally, Bonny, Kristen, Kristin, Robyn and Yanan. My team’s captain was my father.

We went to Shakespear Park for the treasure hunt, because of … fun! (Yes, Sir!)

Then we went to have an adventure!

But after the first five minutes I felt tired. I managed to walk to Shakespear Park and thought, “I am so tired now – how can I manage to walk all the way back to school after the treasure hunt?”

We arrived at Shakespear park. The blue, smooth sea reflected the sunlight. We ate our nice morning tea. Next we were doing missions to get the tresure map.

First we took a crazy photo next to a tree. Then we made a sand castle on the beach. We examined, “How many cockles can each person take?” We found the signboard. Next we found monkey tails. They had fallen on the ground next to the signboard. Finally our mission was to write our names in the sand.

MISSION COMPLETE!!

We got the treasure map! We found the treasure, but it absorbed a lot of time!

Treasure Hunt

Last Wednesday the ESOL students went on a treasure hunt in Shakespear Regional Park. First we ate a snack. We were laughing and talking together and we ate a snack.

It was fun and exciting. The little children were so cute! The sea was very beautiful and the sky was blue.

We found the treasure with our ESOL friends and parents. The Treasure was Easter eggs. They were very delicious and we had lunch together there.

The treasure hunt was a lot of fun!
