At school, there are different facilities that students can use when needed.There is a room called sick bay where all the sick students or somebody who got hurt can go to have a rest until they feel better. Sometimes, they wait there until their parents come to take them home or take them to the doctor. There is another room called staff room where all the staff gather around during morning tea and lunch break and also when they have staff meetings. The main reception is where the students report to when they are late. The secretary will call the parents when their chidren do not come on time.

There are different kinds of school and some of them are Panmure bridge and St.Patricks school. There are playgrounds all around the schools. Some of the schools have netbooks.

Every time the school finishes there is a janitor that helps the school tidy and clean, he or she gets paid by the governor. Each schools also have principal that keeps everything on track.

The principal has to be responsible for all the things, for example the school property, and if something breaks she hires someone to replace it. Some of the schools have 100 and up students, kindergarten is only 20 and below. However it must be tiring to be a principal because they have to organize all of the clothing and the stationary.

I was so excited that I could not wait to get there. When we got to the pet shop, my dad took off my blindfold so I could see the pets inside the pet store.

My Thrilling afternoon!

It was not a dream… but it felt like a dream... but it actually happened at Lynton Rd near Sylvia Park…...

Yesterday my whole family was at my uncle’s house near Sylvia park for a household prayer meeting. Me and my friend were playing computer games while the adults were praying. When the praying was over, we had a fellowship and we ate pizza, cheese cake and drank coke. Then, we got ready to go home. When we got to our car, we saw a big truck blocking our way. My dad and his friend went to the man who owned the truck. My dad politely asked him if he could move out his 10 wheeler truck so we can get out of the driveway. The truck owner was drunk and he got mad to be disturbed even for just a few minutes. He started swearing, saying ‘get the f word out of here!’ .My dad and his friend to backed off  straight away to avoid trouble. They tried to figure out how we can safely get out from there.

Suddenly, the drunk man started clapping and cheering like he was crazy. It gave me the creeps!  He pointed at a huge rock the size of my net book. Then he picked up the bolder and threw it at our car then pointed a middle finger at us. He was so rude!!! My dad honked the car as loud as he could while my mum, my brother and I were all shocked and scared to death. I thought we were all going to die! Praise God the bolder did not hit our car and nobody got hurt. I thanked God for protecting me and my family.

Finally, we were able to get out of the driveway and we were so relieved.  My parents decided to give us a family treat after what happened so we went straight to Hoyt's Sylvia Park to watch Transformer 4.

We arrived at the cinema just in time for the movie to start. I was so thrilled because the movie was awesome.  When we came home after the movie, my dad phoned and reported to the police everything that happened at my uncle’s house with the drunk man.

I hope that the police will teach that man a lesson so that he will not do it to other people.
