Love

Dear Government,

 Love. What is it? Is it disrespect, hatred, anger? That's what people think it is at the moment. “Love” doesn’t matter anymore, it’s just a word to people now. Where are your brains? No one cares anymore. There’s rubbish all over the world, Racism all over the world, that’s not love! Not pointing fingers at anyone but what is this hatred, and anger?! So “love” does not matter anymore, there’s no meaning to it, no description. It’s just a word to go with nothing. Think about this please.

 Sincerely,
 Lauren from St. Bernadette’s School Room 8.

Our teacher Mrs Lee let us listen to the song "Where Is The Love?" by the Black Eyed Peas, Then she wanted us to write a story/narrative about it and expand on the meaning.

Water Slide.

Water Slide!

Splishing and Splashing,
Competitive races... The Water slide.

The slide was scratchy and sore, but that didn't stop me from having fun. My eyes were closed the first time I went down but then I got used to it.

The puddle at the bottom would lose its water every time someone would go down, so waiting filled the air.

I got a boost of frustration when the people in line were chanting "hurry up Lauren... HURRY UP!" I got tense, then sped down the wet splashing slide.

I pushed myself to do it, could you?

Overcoming Team Building

Team Building *Shudder*

Camp. Team building, it was fun, but not for me. The leader Willy was nice and encouraging. We were all lined up in a line to see weight/tallness out of fourteen I was number seven. There was a discussion on teamwork and how to help each other up and the strategies we could use. The three important words that we used were Communication, Trust and Planning.

We had three things to do for Team Building, the last was the hardest. We had to get helped up a wall with no ladders, only our team mates. Mostly everyone got to stand on Willy but Willy made me stand on a younger child called Tyler. He was number 1 or 2 in the line. So he knelt down and let me stand on him.

I was paranoid and scared for him, not me. So I stood on his back and quickly the people at the top pulled me up (Hingano and Antonette) , I couldn’t tell what Tyler was feeling but I think he was at least a little sore (I hoped he wasn’t).

I didn’t really like Team Building, but Willy the leader was really nice.
