Wasabi Peas

When I bit into the crunchy Wasabi peas it suddenly refreshed my mouth. The Wasabi peas were both little and spicy.

When I first tasted the Wasabi peas it started to burn in my mouth like a little bomb. The Wasabi peas were both crunchy and had a chilly type taste.

When I bit into the Wasabi peas it refreshed my mouth and it felt like it went up my nose. The Wasabi peas stung my mouth, like bees in my mouth.

My home country

I LOVE the Islands because they are LOVELY and also stunningly BEAUTIFUL. The Islands make me think of my home country SAMOA but right now the pictures that are going through my head are of the Tsunami, because a few weeks ago the Tsunami hit Samoa and also TONGA which was really sad. But luckily my Mum and Dads side of the country didn't get hit because their Village was on the other side of the big hill.The worst Villages that I have heard of that got hit by the Tsunami was Lalomanu and Poutasi Beach. My Mum was really sad because my Aunty was having a vacation near the beach and she was held up by the Tsunami!!!! We were all very thankful when she returned back safely.
I really hope that other people who have lost family and friends are all safe and coping with this tragedy.

Long Lean Lanky Jones!

A very strange thing happened at our Assembly last Friday. Everyone was surprised when our principal Mr Burt appeared on stage wearing a shiny long beautiful red dress with a wacky fluorescent wig, and dancing.
It was a little confusing to understand their song which was called Along Came Jones. It began with Mr Palmer one of our teachers, he came out, plonked himself down on a soft armchair and glued himself to the TV. Suddenly our assembly went wild with laughter, as our Principal pranced out in his fancy dress closely followed by the evil villain, played by Mr J. Then he tied her up and left her for dead on the railroad track"...watch and see what happened next.

We really enjoyed it and thought it was a hilarious example of our theme this term, which is called "The Art In Story Telling".
