FIRE!!!

FIRE!!!
On a fine sunny evening, our family, Dad, Mum, Harry, Jacob, and Amy had a BBQ outside in the backyard at 3:35. Because Nan was coming from Australia to help out because grandpa was in hospital.

While dad was cooking the steaks on the BBQ with his brandy, Harry was with his brother jacob struggling to put on his new fancy new tuxedo which he found very uncomfortable to wear in front of other people. Especially when his Nan was coming. She would be snuggling and hugging him all day and he would be really embarrassed.

In the meantime Nan was driving through our house driveway, dad got so dizzy from drinking too much of his brandy and Harry was in his room thinking of something mannered to say to Nan when she walked through the front door.

Harry heard the doorbell ring and supposed it was our cat Prince walking through his cat door until he heard a soft voice.”Hello is anybody there?”.Harry raced down the stairs to open the door and all he saw was a big 6 foot shadow that warped it’s tentacles around him.But when he properly felt it he realised it was his Nan hugging him.Harry had a sigh of relief that it wasn't an alien trying to kill HIM!.

Harry told Nan that we were cooking a BBQ and  that he would take her jacket and all her baggage until he realised she had neither of those things.Harry went to go ask if the food was ready because Nan just arrived.Dad was sitting on the picnic table staring at the sky as if he was in Candy land. I yelled at him to wake up but it seemed to do no affect to him so i yelled even louder, “DAD GET UP!”.The yelling was so loud but still did no affect on him.

Harry sprinted like the wind to the BBQ and tried to turn it off.He lifted up the cover and he jumped as far back as possible because the fire jumped up into his face and nearly burnt his face OFF.He raced to Nan and tried to tell her that dad passed out on the picnic table and the BBQ was on fire.But it was hard to push her away if she went for a hug.

“NAN NAN, FIRE FIRE!”.Nan called the fire brigade and Harry woke dad up by pouring the rest of his brandy on him, in the meantime, Nan got Jacob but sadly could not get Mum.Mum was trapped in her room with the fire and fainted because she inhaled to much smoke.


The firemen ran past me and told Harry to evacuate the house now.Harry raced out out of the house.The firemen took out the fire.The firemen were able to get Mum out of the house.And once the fire was taken out Harry and his family went to visit grandpa and he had recovered.And they all lived happily ever after.

Military style fitness

Military style fitness


Today, we did fitness in Military style. First we did a little warm up to stretch our muscles. Then we got into groups and picked our two leaders and discussed our chants and what we were going  to do for jogging together as a team. For this we had to use a lot of teamwork strategies and put in a lot of effort in this military style exercise we did today. Our fitness helped us work as a team.
