Surfing at Summer
Surfing
At Thursday, December 8, 2016. We went Surfing at Summer for EOTC week, EOTC week means Education Outside The Classroom. There was 3 groups I was at the group 2 but we have to in different groups I was in a Dolphin group and the other one was the Seals. We went surfing after group 1 I have a lot of fun because I learned how to body board and to surf. When I was body boarding I keep getting sea weeds of my feet witch is annoying but It just a few because I have to take them off my feet. When the life guard teach me and I catch a wave I went really fast. Then we have to eat lunch so we have a lunch break. After we finished eating lunch the life guard said that we have to go surfing now. It was really hard to stand on a board because the waves will keep pushing you but when I keep trying I catch wave and I din't fall. So that's what we did at Surfing at Summer and tomorrow we are going to Adrenalin Forest at Spencer Park. I hope had a good day bye!

Dear Future Me
Dear Future Me,
By the time you read this many years will have passed. In fact you will be turning 25 years old. This is a reminder of what your goals, dreams and aspirations were as a 9 year old.
Let’s start with your career, first of all I’ve gone to work at University to learn to be a Pilot and travel around the world. If you didn't know my dream was to be a Pilot because being a Pilot is amazing but being a Pilot could probably be hard work too.
After that let’s talk about sports. As you really know you are really interested to play sports especially soccer. Your goals was to be a famous soccer player and your other goal was to represent Philippines National football team.
Now let me tell you all the destinations that I wanted to explore.
My first was is to travel seven destinations. The 1st destination that I wanted to explore was Rio and look at the Christ the Redeemer. The second destination I wanted to explore more was Egypt I wanted to look at the Pyramid of Egypt. The 3rd destination I wanted to have fun is Singapore and go to Malaysia and look at the Petronas Towers. 4th destination was Italy and look at the Colosseum 5th destination was Canada I wanted to see the CN tower and climb it. 6th destination is China and look at the Jiuzhaigou with the beautiful lakes, waterfalls and mountains landscapes.
7th destination will be the United States and find the landmarks that I want to look at the first landmark is the Golden Gate Bridge. The second landmark is the Statue of Liberty The last landmark was going to be the Grand Canyon.
I really hope you get this letter and I hope you're really healthy and good health.

New Year's Eve First Draft
Orientation:
On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, we celebrate New Year’s Eve with my family, my friends and my cousins. We celebrate it at Philippines in my house.
On the 30th of December my cousin’s family and my friend’s family went to my house. Then we played games the first game we played is tag then we played hide and seek and more.
After we play games I talked to my dad if I can walk Roshan Roshan is our dog and my dad said, yes. So I grabbed dog food and gave it to him. After he’s done eating I walked him outside and put him back in our backyard.
After that our parents made a lot of food like soups, fish, meat, bread, chocolates and more. Then I asked if I could help and my mom said yes. So she let me do the soup.
Once we had finished making food we have to call the other first. After that they're all here so we ate the food. The first food I grabbed was the soup because I wanted to try it and because I made it with my mom.
Finally we’re all done eating then I heard a firework it was very loud and colorful. So we did the same so we grabbed all our fireworks and fire it all up. Then my father used the very long firework it was called judah’s belt then he fired it up it was louder than the other fireworks.
Next we played games again just a short game because they have to go home so we said goodbye to all of them. Then we have to go to sleep too. When we wake up there's still some few fireworks left so we used it all with my brothers.
Conclusion
I was really happy to celebrate New Year's Eve with my family and my cousins and my friends It was a really fun experience celebrating it.

When where in Mariana trench we started to drop the submarine.We started to go down. 8 hours later it’s getting darker and darker here We saw some creepy animals like a goblin shark and angler fish, dumbo octopus, football fish, benthocodon and frilled sharks.

I said how deep are we are he said 10,994 meters and (36,070 feet) I said "whoa!" Now we need to go back at the top. Our submarine had shaken again I look to the window the frilled sharks they were a hundreds of them, I ran to my friend. I said "Hey there's a hundreds of shark on the window!" He looked at me and said "there’s nothing to do we have to think a plan quickly before the frilled sharks kill us. But were late the frilled shark made a hole on our submarine my friend says Help I can’t breath!! But I can’t help my friend because he is on the driver seat and i'm on the back of the submarine I tried to swim on the driver’s seat but see him out of breath and I’m running out of breath too 3,2,1.. The phone on the submarine is ringing beep! beep! Beep! They know that we are in trouble because we're not answering they go to the Mariana Trench fast as they could but I run out of breath my eyes flashes before the submarine came…..

The dream
In 1961 my rocket will launch into space. I was a young chimp called June they want me to go space to do an experiment. I bring a picture of my trainer and my. My trainer’s name was Charles. I’m going to be sent into space for 65 years to see if a chimpanzee can survive for 65 years. My heart was pounding because there's only 1 minute left. Whoosh! My rocket flew into space. It feels like i’m getting shot in gun and it's getting faster and faster. 65 years later… I wake up and saw the milky way the stars are shining like a gem. The sun is hot as a flame. I finally saw planet earth. The earth looks like mixed paint and now I just need to go towards earth. I’m landing and going faster, the parachute pops out on the back of my rocket and I made it.
Terra firma!
I was so excited to open the door but I can see the ground it was all messy the trees are all broken the building are wrecked. Did the humans do this? I’ve been sent to space for 65 years and they destroyed earth or the aircraft's drop bombs? and maybe Charles sent me to space to be safe. I walked around I can see my home I open the door it was destroyed. I looked around more and suddenly I fell… I woke up I was in a bed I can see Charles in the kitchen I stand up and look at the mirror I can see myself I don’t have wrinkles I was so happy and I went to the kitchen and there's a lot of food. I was dreaming that I went to space and landed back to earth and saw the earth destroyed I said “This is my best dream ever!”

Second Draft
The Lion’s attack
It was an afternoon on African Savanna. It was February , we were there because we are finding a river bank with our herd of buffaloes. In our herd I'm the the biggest buffalo and we finally found a river bank to live beside.
It was early in the day, we were walking along the river bank when we smelt a pride of lions. We walked about three steps, then I saw lions jump on the calf. The calf was shouting for help, but there are five lions we ran to our herd of buffaloes.
Then the lions were getting the calf away from the river and crocodile appeared and tried to steal the lion's lunch. Then the lions and crocodile were fighting for the calf and the lions got the calf.
We ran towards the lions and surrounded them. I could see that the calf very injured and i'm very angry to the lions I charged at the lion with my horns and the lion flew in the air. Another lion just run away, but my friend buffalo chased the lion away and there three lions left. The three lions ran away from us because they got surrounded of herd of buffaloes then the buffalo chase them.
