  1. Kristy shivered as she entered Mandy's Primary School. It was her first day here. Was she late already? As she made her way to the new classroom, she knocked politely on the door before entering in.
    "Hello!" said her class teacher "You must be Kristy. How marvellous! Today we're going to write a plan for our story, using lot of describing words."

  1. Ethel groaned in despair as mum handed her, her literacy homework. The only reason that she was doing this junk was because mum had promised her is she ever managed to make the completion. She would drive her over to her favourite restaurant, Taromas. They were having a special promotion and free distribution of pizza slices. Ethel took another glance at her homework. It said to write a whole page of an essay about pollution. Also she hadn't practised her spellings. She recollected her teacher saying that repetition was a very good way of learning hard words.
  2. It was new year, Chris, his mum and dad were holding a party. They has invited quite a lot of people including mums old colleague from her computer institution.
  3. "Emily? what did I just say?" bellowed Mrs.Kates.
    "Um..um..." Mumbled Emily.
    "Oh, just as expected, you wasn't listening! Well, can you tell me the translation of the word "big" in French?"
    Emily answered perfectly, much to the teachers surprise. Thanks to my intuition, she thought.
  4. It was glorious sunny day as I trooped happily into the astroturf. In case you didn't know, I was playing against St.Welbroughs for the foot ball match held today. As everybody got positioned, I took a quick glance at the opposition team. Wow! They looked pretty scary!
    "There's no way we're going to beat them!" I murmured.

Week 8

Spellings : Decomposition, Education, Responsibility, Heaviest, Undecided, Simplification, Impossibility, Classified, Medication, Critically


As Anne sat outside the hospital waiting room, tears silently dropped on her purple bolero. Would mum be okay? What was going on in there? As you can see, Anne's mother was in terrible danger, and was rushed to the hospital quick. If something hadn't been done quickly, Anne's mother would die. A few minutes later, Anne's mum appeared.

"Are you okay mum?" asked Anne. 

A couple of tensed second's passed by and Anne's mother finally replied.

"No my dear, I'm not. I'm terribly ill and there has to be someone to fend for our little family, you and I. Seeing the impossibility of me getting well the doctors have put me under serious medication. And I'm afraid to give you the responsibility of working as a maid. You have of course an education. Which will mean you will be classified as a wonderful nan. Please will you do this?"

I simply stared at her, speechless. It was one of the heaviest choices to make, leaving me undecided. I certainly didn't want my mum to take great trouble, critically at this stage in her life. On the other hand, neither did I want to become a maid and have a job. I seemed too young, and I loved school. It seemed such a shame to quit. What should I do?
