Is graffiti art or is it messy

Graffiti can be art and sometimes it can’t it just depends on what you do graffiti can be a wonderful piece it makes the streets full of color. But some people think it’s messy the person that does spray can put rude signs and parents won’t like it if their children see it.

Jogging for my morning run I jog in the alley way then I spot something a full wall covered in spray paint ‘wow’ I was amazed

On my way to school

I was awoken by my mum ‘wake up darling you have to go to school’, we pack our bags and especially the emergency kit. when we went outside I saw that it was still twilight I look at  the time it was 6 am we start our journey. The ice was freezing my hands were numb. I  couldn’t really hold on anything because my hands didn’t have that much grip. We crossed over a stream I saw that it was leading to the ocean. Then I saw an iceberg the sun was rising its bright colors reminded me of a hot sunny day licking ice cream. We also brought a stick, we poke the ice that were about to step to make sure that  it will hold us because sometimes ice can break so we make sure if it’s strong or not. My friend and I run ahead but we make sure we don’t slip. We wait for the stragglers to come catch up, we stop and have a hot chocalote but the adults had coffie

Waiting in the dark

The black cat scanned the room with her silvery eyes. Her pupule of her eye was big she was hunting for a meal, the cat’s soft fur was sticking out, her fluffy paws placed on the ground every time she took a step. Her whiskers sense danger coming her way. She waited for her prey to come a bit closer so she could get a better shot...

she pounced!

Strike work shop

                          Room 8 + 9 stomping down the hill, lining up to go inside. We enter the school hall the first thing I saw was a massive circle full of drums, I sat down, in front of me was a medium drum and a pair  of sticks I look at my neighbors drum ''whoa you have a massive drum'' a smirk wipes on her face. We all start with macho polo but why were we doing macho polo? when a loud bang echoed in my ear I hit my drum I listened carefully I could hear different sorts of tunes of the drum in the hall.

 Next  Hannah taught us a song that goes whats the time bro I don't know I looked at other people banging their drums it all was on time it looked like a pattern my ears were ringing hard out because of the loud noise. A teacher peeked inside the hall it was time to go we headed outside to our class room.

The mystery of Ella,Sofia and Riley

                             Thursday 24 November

CRASH! BANG! plates fall on the ground the 3 girls wake up with a scream 'AHHHHH' Ella has black hair with blonde strips, and all of them are the same height, the second girl is called Sofia she has blonde hair and the 3rd is called Riley shes a nerd she has brown hair. they ran to their parents room but it was too late, they cryed and cryed but then the ground shaked and wobbled they hid in a little space and the earthquake got so strong that something fell on them and they got knocked out. when they woke up they were in a different world the grounds were beautiful then ever they found some sort of nature trail one of them said 'are we in heaven' 'NO' 'were just in a different world' the school name was called Hamilton east school. For short its called H.E.S they go through the nature trail they kept on going for hours and hours and hours until finally they spotted a ladder Ella said 'maybe its our only way out' 'okay' they go up the ladder there was a dark and horrified tunnel they went back but it was already dark so their  only  way was they had to go in the tunnel they lit up a torch there was light they went closer and closer but then the color changed to purple, it was some sort of globe 'what if we touch it do you think were going to disappear' 'l don't know' 'I'm going to touch it' 'NO it might be risky' but too late she went inside the globe 'ahh this is why l don't like sisters' the 2 sisters went in the globe to get her before any thing else happens.  Suddenly  gust's of wind blew their hair side to side, there was a world pool about to drag Ella into it we pulled with all our might to pull her away !HELP! she yelped, we kept pulling and pulling until we got her out quickly before she got sucked in, but after that it gave them a shock.They got so dizzy that they were nearly going to faint, but suddenly they started to lift up off the ground. They started to float all around the tunnel they screamed so loud that the tunnel shook so hard that their powers got loosen up and they fell on the cold floor and bruised their knees and elbows. when they stood up they heard a loud bang, there were people coming they said 'hide' but when they said hide they turned in invisible the people came in where they were hiding I smell humans said the strange voice. 
what do you mean 
I smell them their close 
your crazy we have to hurry up now all this nonsense has made us late king razer would be so angry quick hurry. they quickly scatterd through the tunnel

Then a bump made her stop there was a hole in her boat her boat began drowning in the sea, she jumped like a mermaid and looked to see land ''THERE'' she swam to it she rested to catch her breath''ahhhh'' she explored around but there was nothing but in the corner of her eye she saw a weird looking tunnel she looked at the sky the the sun was going down she had no choice but to light a torch and go in the tunnel 

The strange tunnel

                                                                                                                                                            The strange tunnel                                                                           ''Aaaa'' Courtney woke up ''what was that'' ''I don't know''it sounded like it was coming from the garden.  MUM DAD we realized that they were in the garden Courtney and I were racing down the stairs but once we opened the gate I realized we were not allowed to go in the garden because they were doing a surprise but we knew we had to save them but on our right we saw them doing the surprise they bought us each a dog we thanked them and played with our dogs we also promised them to take good care of them but we knew that we could't so we helped each other  so that was the end of that well l think.
