The Kalene Hill Climb
My feet were already tired as I walked along the path to the hill. The grass was
swaying back and forth in the gentle breeze. I had been standing in the truck all
the way to Kalene and that's what made my feet tired. I was walking behind Miss
Martin and then suddenly we came to the foot of the hill. We started climbing the
hill. At first walking at a medium pace and then slowing down. Very soon I was
sweating and I had to stop a few times to rest. Sometimes I would grab a tree and
pull myself up. We came upon a boulder and Miss Martin decided to rest a little
so I overtook her. I kept on trudging up the hill slowly. I thought how Miss
Deacon and Miss Hoyte were lucky to come up in a car, but I knew this climb would
be worth it. I kept on asking people ahead of me if we'd nearly reached the top
of the hill. I drank some water and that helped strengthen me. We walked some
more and then we saw Miss Hoyte and Miss Deacon. I let out a sigh of relief. We
had reached the top.

When climbing the hill, it was very slippery. On the hill there was a beautiful
view. We kept jumping from rock to rock trying hard not to fall in the deep cracks.
During our time on the hill, we went to see the foundations since they related to
Sakeji. Then we climbed down the hill towards the truck. Then we climbed into the
truck and drove to the rapids.

The Fight!!
"Youch", Mr. Bierworth threw the seaweed like a rocket. I picked up some seaweed,
"Wham!" I hit him and he looked angry. Quick, pick up some more seaweed before he
does. "Oh no", I looked up and saw a big piece of seaweed heading straight for my
face. I tried to duck but it was too late. "Splat" square on my face. "Oh no he's
coming!" He gave me five seconds to run. I couldn't just stay there and say "he'll
miss." I had to say "legs, do your job." I ran and when I heard Mr. Bierworth say
"five", I knew what was next. "Twack", the seaweed hit me on my back and knocked
me over. It was like an obelisk giving a Roman a slap on the back. I got up again
and ran. After a lot of "whacks" and "whams", the seaweed fight was over.

Inside My Head
In it are undiscovered animals and plants to hunt,
No French at all and no school or division to do,
And all my punishments and most of my sins I got or did,
And games and sports to play like football and basket ball,
To go into the past to prove evolution wrong.
I would like to go into the future to find a river
That flows both ways at the same time.
I wonder how heaven is and how I could be perfect?
I would also like to know everything good.
I would like to be good and show other people the good in me.
I would love to memorize the whole Bible by heart.
To make super inventions like fancy cars and supersonic planes.
No bad videos inside my head thank you!
A professional artist, scientist and pro reader please!
I would just love to have Kraft macaroni every day.
And that is what is inside my head.

Bush Babies!
We once had some bush babies
They were small with big eyes
They didn't have rabies
But soon we said our goodbyes.
