Invisible Script

Ingredients:


Cola drink (diluted)
Honey (diluted)
Lemon, apple or orange juice
Milk
Onion juice
Soap water
Sugar solution
Vinegar

Some inks are developed by heat.

You could use a oven, blow drier or maybe even a fire. If it works it will probably turn brown. Adults need to do the heating!

I predict that none of them will work.



Ms S. put it under a heat thingy and this was the result:

The honey worked the best!
Next was the tea.
Then the coke.
The vinegar and the sugar water didn't work very well.

reputation

Once there was a rare sort of rain. It only rained this rain when someone's reputation was good. To get their reputation good they had to respect other people. One time when it rained they had to use a raft to float because it rained so much. The person with the good reputation reigned over the city for that whole day but there were rules. You could not tell people to do anything.

Robert Frost

As I went out a Crow
In a low voice said,
"Oh,I was looking for you.
How do you do?
I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)
That her little Bluebird
Wanted me to bring word
That the north wind last night
That made the stars bright
And made ice on the trough
Almost made him cough
His tail feathers off.
He just had to fly!
But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for the skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax-
And do everything!
And perhaps in the spring
He would come back and sing."

The poem is about a crow asking someone to tell Lesley that a bluebird, who I think was her friend, has flown south for the winter. Then he tells her to be safe while he is gone and that he will come back when it is spring and it is warm.

Poem:

Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind


As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude

I think that this means that even though you can't see the wind it can still feel really bad.

Goodwill Games

Dust of Snow

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued

What I Believe

Honesty, trust I believe in this all
With kindness and courage we can stand very tall
To great plains and oceans
To see the true emotions
We honour friendship with great thought and fun
Together we can face whatever we have done
We live as one with peace and harmony
To see each other without fear or agony
All this makes me proud to be an Australian
With as many good thoughts as the colours as a chameleon

A Leaf-Treader

I have been treading on leaves all day until I am autumn-tired.

God knows all the color and form of leaves I have trodden on and mired.

Perhaps I have put forth too much strength and been too fierce from fear.

I have safely trodden underfoot the dead leaves of another year.


I think that he has been walking all over leaves. In the second line I think that he means that he has walked all over so many different coloured leaves. In the third line I think he means that he has walked on them to hard and that they have all been breaking up and losing all their colour.

The Mustang

I am a cowboy. One day I was walking along a dark and dusty road when I heard a loud but friendly neigh. I decided to follow this noise to see where it was coming from. I followed the dusty track until I found a Mustang in a pen. I walked up to the dark brown coloured horse and started to pat it. Its neigh now was very loud. The Mustang rearing up and then the strong dark hooves hit the fence.

The fence made a loud crashing noise and the Mustang ran into the distance along the dark and dusty road. A few minutes later I heard a creaky noise. I turned towards the noise, a man with a long black beard. He had a shirt that was the colour of the sky on a hot day with no clouds. The man came closer and then he asked me, “Did you let my horse out?" I turned to the man and nodded.

He asked me that because I let the horse out, could I go and get it. I said that I would. I walked back down that dusty black road until I came to a fork in the dusty road. I listened as hard as I could until I heard a sudden neigh to one of the paths. I ran for that path until I came to a city. I walked slowly towards a man sitting in a large olive coloured chair. I asked the man if he had seen a Mustang run through here. He said that it had headed towards the beautiful orange sunset.

I headed this way until I saw the horse trotting around a pen. It looked like the same dark brown coloured horse as before. I ran at the horse and then it started to run away in the opposite direction. The mustang came to a fence. The mustang stopped so I grabbed him. I walked back along that same dusty road and found the house. I gave the man back his Mustang and walked back towards the sunset.
