Long way home

Book: Long way home         By: Michael Morpurgo

"Long way home" is a book based around a main character called George. George,who is in foster care is often being sent to different families in the summer to live with them and do various tasks and activities. Every summer George would return home early from the house he was sent to, however this year appears to be different. George finds himself in the care of the Dyer family and he is actually really loving his time there! Do good things last forever. Read this book to find out. Michael Morpurgo has not only wrote this book but many others go check them out. I would suggest this book for 9 years and up.

The life of a pen

Yesterday was the best day of my life.I was used the whole day until 2:00. Then I was dumped dark and lonely in a black pencil case, with all these other grubby objects. They didn't even talk. Things were grabbed out all day but not me. One time I really thought they were actually going to pick me but they picked out the yucky glue stick beside me. Sad me, always the last one to get picked. They always pick out my identical twin but not me. Do the actually realise they are picking him only and not me, i mean do really do look exactly the same. I sit there all day waiting to get picked but i never do. The pencil case gets bashed all day which means me inside do to. I lie there all day hoping not to get broken, I never have but I always think that one day I will. I was used today in maths, i think, because I was always writing numbers. It was fun, one, two, three all the way up to 90. I did do a little bit of writing like the, and, or but not much. But I do like getting used in writing more because I get to write big and exciting words. It's fun. I was lying in the draw in my pencil case when suddenly someone grabbed the pencil case out. They were being pretty rough with it though it was no my real owner. The zip slowly opened. Someone stuck there hand in. They picked me they finally picked me i was thinking when they grabbed me out. But at the time I don't think that this was a good thing. They were unscrewing my head "Ouch" I scream as they rip it off. " Oh no they are getting my spring this is the end .

The waterfall walk

My heart was beating like a drum as i charged up the mountain. it was the hottest day ever! We reached a little stream with a log with stepping-stones. We crossed the stones with a splish! and a splash! Yay! we made it to the other side,"how long till we get there?"we all moaned "soon replied the adults. 

All of a sudden i heard lots of buzzing"AHHH",calm down Katie", i said in my head "its probably just some wasps", Replied one of the teacher. Bang! Bang! someone was smacking a wasps nest into a tree! "AHH" we all screamed our heads off as the wasps stung us. It was a massive wasp attack!

We crossed a bridge with a sigh saying "20 minutes to the waterfall" "Yay we all said". We reached the waterfall. It was absolutely stunning. it was breathtaking, the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.
