Duffy Theater Show

Last Tuesday at Glenbrae school hall we had a duffy theater. They were talking about how  important it is to  read because you would learn so much just from one story .

First they  started on a really funny way of telling the story. The funnest part was when they were trying to find each other but it was really hard for them .

Then they both found each other. They were brothers,the youngest one was Scruffy, Afi was the middle child and Duffy was the oldest. Duffy always wrote stories for his younger Brother Scruffy.

Straight after breakfast duffy started to read a story to Scruffy.  The story was about when Duffy lost his words .

He started off with, Duffy was sleeping then he had this terrible dream that there was this man named vore charthe who never won a single words contest  so he went to earth to steal humans words, but before he could do that he had to beat these people in a most words you know contest.

He lost to a beautiful woman and another woman named rude  and it goes to show that he is really bad at the most words you know contest.

Then the bad vore chart tricked him and took Duffys amazing words and Duffy only thought that it was a bad dream but that dream actually happened.

Slow Down

The story is called slow down and these are a couple of questions that ask why and how it affects their family's or them. The first question means why is it important that they make posters to stop all the hurting and die ing and my answer is the next sentence. The last question mean that if they change the why drivers dive because the hurting mostly happens before and after school.

Why is it important to do what they are doing?

So that they don't die or get hurt that is why it is important to do what they are doing. 

Do you think the children change the way drivers drive?

Because they won't see that going to fast would hurt a child and someone older

Persuasive Writing

Topic

This topic  is about children working from the age of eight for their own money.

POSITION ON THE STATEMENT

I agree that a child  should work at the age of 8 and over the age of 8

because after going to school they they can use their free time to work for some money.

I also agree that they should work to help their parents out by helping to pay the bills and help pay for food clothes and shoes too. That will help their parents with their money problems so they can have more family to spend on fun activities.

SUMMARY!

I strongly agree that children should work for their own money from the age of eight because it will help their families.

Limerick

There was a young person of Ayr

whose head was remarkably

square on the top in fine weather

she wore a gold feather

which dazzled the people of Ayr

Little Jack Horner sat in a corner

watching his chips mount high

he sat a while grinning

then said   Ha! I'm winning,

what a wizard at poker am

There's a train at 404 said Miss Jenny

Four tickets I'll take. Have you any?

Said the man at the door

Not four for 404

For four for 404 are too many four’s

Halloween Story

My hollwen story

One Halloween my friends and I were going trick-or-treating in our neighbourhood. Down the street from us was an old deserted house that everyone thought was haunted. My mother said, "Don't you dare go near that house!" Naturally, her warning made us even more curious. We went to the house and rang the bell. There was no answer. We tried the door. It was unlocked, so we entered the house. The door slammed shut behind us and....... Then the darkness crowded around us. Then sounds that were never heard before got louder and closer. Eyes appeared from dark corners. Shadows closed in on us. Terrible noises came from dark scary places. My friends and I followed a voice to a door at the end of the haunted houses hallway. Then we all stopped with fright from the top of our heads to the tip of our toes. Our teeth shook making chattering sounds. We all felt unsafe. But what we hadn't read was the sign outside that said “Beware! enter if you dare!

if you  enter you must  take the risk of your life to get out”
