The day I worked at Cirque Du Soliel

One day I was walking down the dark windy street when I saw a stand. I walked over and saw a Music box glowing. I looked at it. Suddenly a dark mysterious man walked out. I asked him how much the box was. He told me that the music box was $5. I checked my pockets. I had only $5 dollars in them. I thought to myself. I should ask what music it plays before i give him all my money.

I asked him what the music box played. "This doesn't play music, If you turn the key three times you will get one wish." said the man. I really would like this I thought. I gave him the money and he handed me the music box. I ran back down the street and towards my home. When I got home I went and hid under my bed. I though what I would like to have as my wish. I thought about many things but the main thing that i would want to do is work in Cirque Du Soliel.

I turned the key three times and it disappeard. Then I heard a car pull up outside. I looked out. I had not seen this car before. Someone got out of the car and ran to the door. I heard a knock and then i heard my name called. I ran down the stairs and my mum told me at they were from Cirque Du Soliel. I got in the car and we drove towards the National Library. When we got there they told me that i had to go on the trapeze without a net.

I got on the trapeze. I swung and my arms started slipping. I fell down and down. I hit the floor hard. When i hit the floor I opened my eyes. It was all a dream.

Poem

Once upon a time there was a knight who rode
over the hills,
and killed a dragon,
and set fifteen women free
from an enchanter who kept the prisoners in a tower
and found a castle where they could live,
and rode on to the desert
where two kings were fighting a war that never ended
and waved a magic shield over the battle
so all the soldiers stopped fighting and said,
"What are we here for?"
And then the knight turned and rode back,
through the desert, past the tower, over the hills,
and when she got home
she took off her armour, patted the cat and made
herself a cup of tea.

Once there was a small grey man eater shark.

There once was a short orange tabby cat who was chasing a mouse.

I was playing on a red and blue woden valley soccer team and I got kicked in my shin.

I decided I would like to go and shop at our twelve story shopping centre.

I was waiting at long dusty shore for a ship.

I went to a funny show staring a clown that had a pale white face.

In a beautiful pea-green boat:

Wrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Man From the Snowy River - First Stanza

There was movement at the station, for the word had passed around
That the colt from old Regret had got away,
And had joined the wild bush horses -- he was worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted riders from the stations near and far
Had mustered at the homestead overnight,
For the bushmen love hard riding where the wild bush horses are,
And the stock-horse snuffs the battle with delight.

Banjo Patterson

The poem is about a horse that was worth a thousand pounds. Thhis horse had run off with wild horses and some well known rides need to go and get him back.

The THRASS for this week is "i" as in tin. Write down six more and put them in a paragraph of writing.

Once there was a tin. One day he was accidentally kicked into the river. He started to sink. He was nearly under the water when a hand came and grabbed him. The hand threw him over his shoulder and it hit a person walking by in the rib. This ripped his shirt. He stepped on the can and fell over and split open his lip. The man who had thrown the can winked at the man on the ground rudely and then walked off.

homework

Writing:

One day there was a Monarch butterfly. She was a traveller. One day she was flying and decided to land on a poisonous milkweed flower with her beautiful wings. When she landed she laid an egg. This egg then hatched into a caterpillar. The caterpillar is now a larvae. It was now an insect. For one week he ate crunchy leaves and an orange. One week after the caterpillar hatched it turned into a cocoon which is also called a chrysalis. The patterns of his wings developed while he was in the cocoon. While it was in its cocoon he was blending in with the enviroment around him and no predators saw him. When the cocoon hatched it was tim for the Monarch butterflies to migrate and he had his first flight.

Poem

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley


This poem is talking about how some great things will always have to end sometime.

Poem

if there are any heavens my mother will(all by herself)have
one. It will not be a pansy heaven nor
a fragile heaven of lilies-of-the-valley but

respect

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.

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.

A Leaf Treader

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

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

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

I have safely trodden underfoot the leaves of another year

All summer long they were overhead more lifted up than I

To come to their final place in earth they had to pass me by

All summer long I thought I heard them whispering under their breath

And when they came it seemed with a will to carry me with them to death

They spoke to the fugitive in my heart as if it were leaf to leaf

They tapped at my eyelids and touched my lips with an invitation to grief

But it was no reason I had to go because they had to go...

Now UP MY KNEE to keep atop another year of snow.

Fireflies in the Garden

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,
And here on earth come emulating flies,
That though they never equal stars in size,
(And they were never really stars at heart)
Achieve at times a very star-like start.
Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.
Robert Frost
I think that in the first 2 lines he is saying that the real stars are coming, and that the fireflies that are on Earth look like them. Then I think that he is saying that the fireflies are not the same size as the stars but look the same.

Fireflies
Fireflies are a bug that has a tail that lights up.

The size of a firefly is about the same size of a paper clip. In the world there are about 2,000 species of fireflies. Many species can be found in places where it is damp and wet. The firefly is an omnivore which means that it eats meat and plants. In the wild the life time for a firefly is about 2 months. The firefly uses its tail for light and also as a defensive mechanism. A few days after mating the female firefly will lay the eggs on top or below the ground. The larvae are commonly known as glow-worms. Male fireflies are the only fireflies that associate in Synchronous flashing.

The Fireflies light will have almost no heat. In some of the world they call it the lightning bug.
