Josh is our beloved dog. When he was a puppy we adopted him from DARG. The volunteers told us that they found him on the beach in a plastic bag in a bin! Josh is a mixture of breeds, unfortunately, we don’t exactly know what those breeds are. Depressingly, when I turned twelve my family moved to a new flat, and we had to give him to my grandparents because we didn’t have a garden. He loves living with my grandparents and now has a new brother, Makki. Grabbing every stick he can find, he now plays games with Makki. Since he has lived my grandparents he has had a wonderful time. Although he does not live with us anymore we still love Josh. Josh has lived a full life – he is turning 77 this year in dog years, which is eleven in human years.

tea
Five roses tea. You can get a lot of different types of it. Five roses teas classics are- regular and rooibos. Instead of only having your classics you can now also get a big variety of lovely fruit flavours. You can get chai spice, strawberry and blackcurrant, apple, vanilla and cinnamon, passion fruit and more. My favorite is the strawberry and blackcurrant and the apple, vanilla, and cinnamon because they are deliciously flavorful and is an excellent hot drink. Usually, people don’t like rich drinks but if anyone who does enjoys rich drinks will love this as it is delicious. Dropping your teabag inside your hot water and a few minutes later you have a delicious drink. When you drink it you can feel so calm. Five roses tea is my favourite.
Enjoy Your Cut of Tea
In order to make a cup of tea, start by choosing which tea you would like to drink. Five roses are my favourite. Pour your water into a kettle. Wait for the water to heat up. Carefully pour the water into the mug. Because it is boiling, don’t burn yourself when you pour the water into a mug. Dropping your teabag in the mug you can carefully watch the tea infuse the hot water. If desired add sugar, honey or sweetener. Add milk if you want it to cool down quicker. Let the tea brew then take the tea bag out of the hot water and enjoy your cup of tea.
Limerick
There once was a girl in the sea
who had never eaten a pea
the pea was deep green
and it had no spleen
finally she ate three
Another Child
My parents wanted to have another child so they prayed really hard to have one. About four years after Batya and Leah were born they had me. Originally they never wanted a child whose first letter of their name was an ‘E’ because my uncle’s name is Elian. When they found the name Eliana they loved it so much. Discovering what it meant, they loved it even more because it means ‘G-D has answered’ and G-D had blessed them with another child. My middle name is Frumma. It was the name of my late great-great-grandmother. And my parents loved that they now had another child.
The Humiliated Giraffe
It was a cold winter’s day in Ireland when the Garry the giraffe was bragging again, he was so braggie of his height he was so tall that in summer it would snow on the top of his head. He would shout things like ‘Wow! Look at me! Look at how tall I am! I’m the biggest I’m the best.’
The whole city had enough of this especially King Lion. So he told Eric the elephant to distract Gary, so Eric was so excited he hated Garry and wanted him to stop being so braggy. Eric took Gary to the field and told him to look at the most beautiful most amazing thing in the whole wide world; it was the flower.
Gary was not impressed. He shouted,’Hey mate was this I can see this flower whenever I want I even eat these they’re delicious.’
Eric stated, ‘Wwwwwwwwwwwell maybe you will like this, mate. It is the most beautiful most amazing thing in the whole wide…..’ and while Eric was saying, this the expression on Garry’s face was priceless
‘Mate you already told me this,’ Garry rudely interrupted.’I know it is a flower now!’
And Garry got distracted again!
’Look how tall I am in the reflection it really brings out the marvellous shape of my eyes.’
‘As I was saying,’ Eric carried on, ‘it is the most amazing thing in the whole wide world it is called the reflection.’
Garry was so distracted by his reflection he never even knew what Eric just told him! Meanwhile, king lion jogged 500,000,000km to the other side of the city. It only took him 10 minutes.
King Lion can roar so loud that People 3,000,000,000km away could hear him. Everyone came together and King Lion told them about his genius plan to stop Garry from being so braggy. Everyone loved his idea so he called upon 4 volunteers. They were Martha the mouse, Raffi the rat, Annie the ant and Larry the leopard. They were all so happy to be in King Lion’s plan. King Lion told everyone that the plan was going to take place the next day in the morning. The next morning Garry woke up and was going to the lake to have a sip of water. On his way he bumped into Martha and greeted her, ’Good morning Martha, how are you?’
Martha did not reply and Garry was very upset because he thought Martha was ignoring him. When Garry reached the lake he was drinking when he bumped into Raffi.
‘Hey Raffi, my old mate,’ greeted Garry.
But Raffi didn’t reply.
Now Garry was mad, so he shouted,’HELLO MATE WHY WON’T YOU ANSWER ME?!’
Garry was getting a bit scared because no one would answer him so everyone who he would pass would not talk to him so now he was really scared.
When he got to Larry he shouted ‘HELLO MATE CAN YOU HEAR ME?’
While he was speaking, Larry turned his head to check if someone was there, and when there was not he started to run and scream,
‘THERE IS A GHOST! THERE IS A GHOST AND IT IS TALKING TO ME!’
Now Garry thought he was a ghost but decided he would just go to sleep and wake up and it would all be over.
When he woke up everyone was waiting outside his house for him to find out if he had learnt his lesson. King Lion asked ’Now have learned your lesson? You must not brag about your height.’ Gary was surprised and a bit angry of what they did but he never answered he only hummed because he had lost his voice and from that day onwards he had only hummed. He was so humiliated he was so embarrassed that everyone hated him because of his bragging so from that day on he would only hum and he told every other giraffe to hum to show that they are all sorry for what he did.
The End
Before and After
At the beginning of this year, I wrote a paragraph on a creature called ‘The Sea Wasp,’ in the middle of the year I wrote the same paragraph and you can see how much I have improved. The first paragraph is the one I made at the beginning of the year and the second one I made in the middle of the year.
The Deadliest Creature Alive
The sea wasp is venomous which has posing ability greater than a snake and it is in the jellyfish family. In its search for food a diver may get stung form its deadly sting witch makes you limp and you can die in seconds. It is transparent which makes it very hard to see it is not found in Europe or in the USA it is found in the beaches of Australia. Its poison can kill over fifty people which makes it the deadliest creature alive.
The Deadliest Creature Alive
In the ocean, the most venomous jellyfish is the Sea Wasp which has a poisoning ability greater than any snake. In its search for food, it may come across a swimmer. If the swimmer gets stung he/she will stagger back to shore. The Sea Wasp is hard to see because it is transparent which means it is very difficult to notice. It is not found in Europe or the USA. It is found on Australia’s beaches. Its neurotoxin can kill approximately fifty people which is why it is the deadliest creature alive.
