If i am a fruit i will be.....

Hello everyone, if i were a fruit, i would be a durian. A durian has spikes surrounding it, protecting it from predators. I want to be like the durian because of that. A durian also tastes nice, and it is almost irresistable to some kind of animals. Though i would have spines to protect me and not get eaten, some kind of animals can tear my wonderful spiky outer covering open and eat me up :(! I would also like to be a coconut, because it is nice and delicious, it also has a rough outer covering, protecting it from the harsh weather conditions. It can also float on water and travel to lots of places in the ocean. THAT WOULD BE COOL. I like to be both a durian and coconut because though it is hard to open up their outer coverings, the meat is delicious to eat and that's why I want to be one of them.

NDP show

The NDP show was super fun. It contained many exciting and fun activities. There was singing of national day songs, speed boat chasing, military tanks, troops from the army, and many other fun things to watch. At first, when we arrived at school, we were given a bag which contained a light stick in the shape of a heart, a "hand" drum, 2 drinks, and many nice things. Then, we were given the burger which the school bought from KFC. After we had boarded the bus, we began to chatter excitedly and we talked about how the show would be like. When we arrived in marina, we had to wait an extremely long time before getting to sit down at the seats in the NDP parade. After we sat down, we talked and after some time, I began to read a book. Just before the show started, i began to eat my burger. Many other pupils were also eating their burgers at that time. The burger was quite delicious as it was filled with a juicy crunchy meat and 2 pieces of bread sandwiching it. When the show started, it was really interesting and we cheered and did the WAVE. Sometime or other, students would began beating their drums and cheering loudly. The NDP show was like a book. There were a few chapters and whenever a chapter ended, a small array of fireworks would shoot into the sky. There was this military defence show that showed us how important it was to keep Singapore safe and sound. In the military defence show, there was this speedboat chase, where 2 police boats, chased 2 criminal boats. It was extremely fun and wonderful. Later, there were these few performances and a lot of people were dancing and singing together in harmony. When the tanks rolled in, we cheered and roared and we were extremely happy. We took photos and were really happy and elated. Some time later, these men, all holding rifles, came out and pointed guns in the air. They fired and the gunshots made loud noises. Some people did not like it, but i loved it. At the end of the show, just before the fireworks, a heavy downpour came. It was raining cats and dogs. In the blink of an eye, everything and everyone that was exposed to the rain got wet. We put on the raincoats given to us in the funpack and sun students even brought umbrellas. The floor was flooded and the stairs were like a waterfall, with water gushing down at top speed, immediately making our shoes drenched. The rain was terrible as it splattered on the ground and battered on us relentlessly. We walked through the downpour and sometimes steped on the wet grass. When we reached the bustop to wait for the bus, we all heaved a sigh of relieve as we were now under shleter and the rain was getting lighter. When the bus finally arrived, we went into the bus, many of us were cold and all of us were drenched from head to toe. Finally, we reached the school, and our parents sent us back to our cosy and nice homes. Overall, The NDP show was an extremely nice show, and i was in a state of euphoria.

Ancient Greece

If i were a boy in ancient Greece, i would feel weird and i would like to explore places. Religion was an important part of Greek culture. People believed that the gods lived on top of a tall mountain called Mount Olympus.Greek homes were small, but they built huge stone temples and public buildings. They had statues on the inside and outside of gods and goddesses decorating the walls and ceilings. Theatres were an important part of Greek life. Huge theatres were built for shows to be played. Plays were very funny or very sad. Male actors performed all plays and it was against the law for women to act. Learning was extremely important for Greeks The sons of rich citizens had teachers when they were seven while for the poor, they could not afford teachers and had to teach their children what they could at home. Most of the girls in Greece did not attend school, instead, their mother taught them to make cloth and cook at home. Men and Women also wore a straight Chiton, which was a long and rectangular piece of cloth cut into two and held together at the shoulders by pins. I would love to attend their school and watch plays and see temples and some public buildings and learn more about the gods. I would also go and watch the first Olympic games in 776 BC, which continued until today. I think living in ancient greece would be fun and exciting and you can learn about many things and go around where the air is fresh and many trees around to provide oxygen. Overall, i think i would like living in ancient greece.

Transformers revenge of the fallen

Hello everyone, have you watched the show transformers revenge of the fallen? I have watched it already. If you have watched it, do you think it is a nice show? I think the show is super cool and nice as the transformers destroy each other. The autobots are the good guys who attack the decepticons, who are the bad guys. In the last show, the autobots won by a slim chance when the allspark, destroyed Megatron, the leader of the decepticons. Optimus Prime was defeated when he was fighting 3 decepticons, one of which, was megatron. Sam, a human, found the matrix and used it to revive Optimus Prime so he can help to fight the decepticons. While Optimus Prime fought against The Fallen, he totally trashed him with the extra powerful parts of another decepticon who changed side, so he is a friend to the autobots. In the end, the autobots won again and hurray!

US WASHINGTON DC

Hello everyone, now i will talk about the time when my family and i were in WASHINGTON DC, the capital of the United States. When we were there, we went to the Arlington Cemetry. There were tons of people there. From any direction you look, the row of gravestones was in a straight line which was amazing. When we were there, we read the statement of some famous guy, a few statements about life. After visiting there, we went to the .........WHITE HOUSE!!!! But we did not see Obama. The white house was of course, totally white. with fountains and bushes and a fence around the perimeters of the house.

There were many people there, taking photos. We also took many photos of the White House. Many people were talking about the president. After that, we went to walk, we went to walk to the pentagon. it looks like an ordinary building from below, but when you look from above it, it looks like an enormous pentagon. They did not allow anyone to enter it, though i did not know why. So we walk around the gargantuan building an read some sign post about the terrorist attack in 2001, when a terrorist hi-jacked an aeroplane and crashed into the west wing of the pentagon. Unfortunately, it was an office building and many people were inside it. Around two hundred people died in the suicide crash.

After reading the sign post, we took a train to see the CAPITOL, not it is an O, not an A. It was a big building and we also spotted some squirrels on the big field with trees near the Capitol. We took many photos of the capitol and we also took some photos of the squirrels. The photo right up is the Capitol

Some time later, we went to the reflecting pool behind the Capitol. That photo up here, is a duck with it's baby. The water in the picture is part of the reflecting pool. The reflecting pool was big and there were many people around the reflecting pool.

Then we went to the near-by botanic gardens. At the botanic gardens, there were many types of plants.

Can you guess what kind of plant this is?....................................................................................BANANA PLANT! Later during the night, we went back to our hotel which was called the marriot and we slept well.
