Boston

Hi everyone, I have just arrived in Boston after bit of excitement on train. A lady had stolen someone's ticket and got caught by ticket man on train so she went to get off train and jumped back on and hid in toilets, she locked herself in and they had to get police on train to remove her, Mrs Stevenson and I were witnesses to whole thing so had to give our details in case they need statements.  Looking around Boston tomorrow, might check that tea party out.
Enjoy rest of week.
Can't put pictures on blog on my phone. Have Trump tower for Josh and found shop called Zara!

Los Angeles
LA is huge and very busy. We're staying in Anaheim which is a big tourist area and Disneyland is just down the road. The flight to LA was 11 and a half hours plus 1 hour to get through customs and then an hour on the bus because the airport is on the other side of LA.

Holiday

We are going to go to our Aunty's house because my mum has to go to uni.

In the holidays I don't have any plans.

Holiday Task


In the holidays i don't really think ill be doing anything but going to my friends and play Xbox as well as getting up really early so mum can go to work every morning for the holidays.

little red riding hood

 this was a good book but it needs more information to make it interesting to read. this book has a alot of good parts in it but it just needs to be a bit more describing parts.

Three little pigs

I think the story of the three little pigs is really cool.
You can tell it is a  fairy tale because it has a happy ending(not for the wolf though).
Throughout the story you can tell that the little pigs are learning because they finally figure out that bricks are the best building material to build a house out of. They also out smart the wolf.

Awesome Canoe Trip

On Wednesday the 8th of June half of our class went on a canoe down the river beside our school.

We left school at 9:00 to were James was, our instructor. We did some briefing and then set out.

We first learned how to ferry glide which is canoeing across the river sideways.

We went down the Mot river going through rapids and lots of other cool and fun obstacles. There were no capsizes which is good and bad we all wanted to see another person capsize but didn't want to capsize ourselves. When we had to stop for lunch most people got there shoes wet but we all stayed happy none the less. We went to the peninsula bridge beside our school to pack up the canoes. After packing up we went for a freezing swim in the river, everyone jumped in and instantly jumped back out. The next group will be going on the 15th of june I hope they have as much fun as we did.

I think the bills goats gruff is a great story for kids that are 3 and over.
I don't like the part where the goats walked over the bridge and the goat said you should eat my brother because he's bigger and the other goat does the same thing it's not like he's your brother or anything.
I liked the part when the oldest goat goes up to the troll and ems into him and he falls of the bridge.
I also like how many people made different story on it makes the story so muck bigger than it actually is.
Overall I think it's a great story.

Power outage

We got candles and had to go to bed early 😭

when I sink my teeth in to a bright yellow thing I suck all the juicy tangy thing It tastes like an apple and banana and tases like lollies.

my lemon story

As I force myself to eat it I start to taste the sour tangy fruit taste.I shove it into my mouth and BANG the sour taste hit me it was worse than ever I nearly spit it out I sculled down some water in relief.I'm not doing that again I think to myself

Lemon

My mouth twitching as i grab a slice.
The bumpy bright yellow skin of the juicy bite I took.
The tangy smell as i accidentally squirt sour juice into my eye.

By Madie

Fresh Summer 

Hmm the smell of fresh sweetness running through my mind as i watched a white yellow slipping into my mouth with a burst of summer. It reminds me of the old summer days lying at the beach. As i licked the last drips of summer of my lips. My mouth tingles with sweetness as summer is gone.
By Ashley Riley

The Flag

Well it looks like it is here to stay. Any thoughts? All I can say is Ahhhhhhh! Noooooo! Guess this gives my vote away. I hope our "Room 15 Flag Referendum" did not sway any voters...

Power Outage

How did you cope when the power went out? Were you organised? What did you do?

The lemon

I grab a piece of the sour fruit. I see other people's reactions. Some like it. Some don't. I taste it and it sour. Not that I was expecting it not to be. It is nearly our turn. Just one more group to go. Now it is our turn. I take a bite and pretend not to mind it. The taste stays in my mouth for about ten minutes.

The tangy taste

I   Looked at this tainted yellowy colour. It looked like a Ball. It tastes very sour and tangy. I thought It was a little bit sweet

The taste

I steer at the table

Horrifed of the taste

The smell is quiet nice

I watch other people sqinching there faces

I go in for a bite and you know how that ends

By Oliver

The lemmmoon🍋

BOOM! it hit me the most scrumptious,plumpy browny yellow thing I have ever put in my mouth.I could feel the sweet and sour in my mouth it was having a party.It wasn't as sour as I thought,It was so juicy and a sweet zangy,soothing delicacy.

I smell this sour juicy thing i bite into it YUCK it spiking all
over me worst day ever. by Ava

Lunch Time

I feel a round yellow bumpy thing that's very cold.
I see a soft yellow ball with juice squirting out of it.
I taste a juicy sourness squirting in the back of my throught. 
I can smell it going up my nose as I breath  

The Whitey yellow fruit with little bumps on the outer skin.I chomp into it. Yuck The bitter sour taste in my mouth.It was like sucking on a lime but not as bad.Its something you would not want lots of.The sour awful after taste that stays in your mouth.The cut stinging torture have you may need water.Have you guessed what it is?.

It was a good piece of fruit it. It was small and so fresh and soothing. I took a big bite.  It made my face screw up .

My lemon appearance 

Sniff sniff it smells soury. Staring at the light yellow object I think it is going to be tasty.Yip it was tasty and juicy. Rolling my fingers around the object. Pulling my fingers over the bumps on the skin of it.

Sour Dislike

Ugh , the juicy sour creamy yellow feel in my mouth. As I feel the rippled fruit in my hand. My stomach was filled with nausea. I kept thinking, why was I putting myself through this. I could feel my eyes starting to water. Then I smelt a whiff of it, it smelt just like dish washing liquid. I should have stopped after my first bite, I didn't know what I was thinking!!!!!   

My lemon tasting blog

Meh, this shouldn't be too hard. That yellow sour fruit will soon be tangled in my teeth. 3-2-1 go, I bite down so far everyone's reaction has had squinted eyes. Bite meh it isn't too bad,mmmm. Quite bitter though. Chew,chew,chew. Oh god I found a sour patch, I exhale heavily don't give up exposure.

Sour Delight


The soft bumpy texture of it's bright yellow skin rubbed against my fingers. I breathed in the soft zesty scent. Putting it up to my face, I squeezed the juice into my mouth. A bitter sweet tangy flavour erupted. It was deliciously sour.

By Zara

the sour burst

                                    VThe sour burst                                                                                                          

I taste the sourness burst into my mouth as i bite down on the whole thing  at once I try and try to hold it in but i just cant handle it.

 My face  scrunching up  like  I  was about to explode.It was so sour I couldn't take it any more I chewed  and chewed until i could swallow it .Finally it was all over the sourness still tingled in my mouth for a  while when it was all over I laughed  at my self and  others because it was so funny watching peoples reactions.   

BY Rebecca . Doe

My lemon story

Hesitation was running through my head as I looked at the funny shaped objet that was lyeing in front of me. I leaned cosier and got a whiff of the object,it smelt like a pancake and without a thought in my head I had taken the object to my mouth and the first thing I tasted was sourness. The feeling in my mouth was squishy and soft as it wiggled around in my mouth.

I smelt the sweet fruit, as my teacher cuts it.
She asks who liked it or who doesn't like it.
For sure I thought no one would like the it,
as I dug my teeth in the bitter yellow fruit.
I smelt it like, that lovely sweet smell, as I
remembered as I was little. The first time I
bit it everyone laughed. I thought they wern't
laughing at me, but they were. I think it was
my face they were laughing at.

My experience






This won't be so bad I thought to myself. arrgh that tasted so bitter . First I sucked all of the juice out of that pale yellow fruit. I took a big bite and it was so sour. I was not having another piece.

Casey Anderson's Lemon Story

My lemon experience     Luke Sayer     15.3.16


A light yellow shaped object shaped like an orange lay right in my hand ready to show me its powerful taste.It felt rough and bumpy wobbling around the table.It smelt like its sour sweet.I put in my mouth and looked around.There were people cringing and crying eyes watering.I didn't have a reaction it was sour but but not sour enough.
