The Frog

Gripping on to the tree, the slimy green frog outstretched his tongue to catch his prey. The small cricket was frightened but couldn’t move. He was on a flotation leaf, the frogs big wide eyes caught his sight and “Crunch!” He was in his big fat belly “That was delicious” the frog said.

Frosty man and The Bmx Kid

Pulling his boxers up and hopping into the air, The Bmx Kid jumped and flipped and twisted. Splash! The water sprung out like a fountain and sounded like a gunshot.

The New Zealand flag

Make a list below of the and cons of changing the flag to our new design.
Pros	Cons
The blue part of the union jack comes from the british empire, it represents the blue sea and sky. The flag was designed in 1902 which shows our stability in our nation.	I want the old flag because we can remember the soldiers who died in the war and the current solders are used to the old flag because they used it on the battlefield.

What do you think?

Explain to us in 2 paragraphs if you think we should change our flag or not. Give your strong reasons in clear and detailed paragraphs.

I want the old flag because we can remember the soldiers who died in the war and because ./s, The current soldiers are used to the old flag because they had it on the battlefield. It shows who we are and I’m used to the flag.

I really hope that they don’t change it because I really like being apart of the british empire, well i’m used to it. I do kind of like the new flag but I like the old one better. Also if they change it who will be on our side it might not be australia because we’ve changed it.

The Blob

After waiting in the crowded line, It was finally my turn. I got everything on and was ready to go. I looked down at the monstrosity, I was too frightened to go. Well, I had to. The person shouted at me “Is something wrong!!.”

“No” I shouted back.

I took 3 deep breaths and jumped, As I jumped onto the frightening Blob,  I whispered to myself “I am scared”. Walking across the blue, yellow and red Blob, I waited and waited. Suddenly I launched through the air. I flipped and twisted until finally I landed head first into the water.

I’m cold” I said with my teeth chattering. I quickly ran to get my towel. Luckily for me the sun was boiling hot so I was warm and dry before I knew it. When I got back on the wooden wharf to grab my towel ,everyone was asking questions “Did it hurt?” I heard from one person. It was so annoying so I had to run home.

As I was running Home I thought of never doing it again. When I got home I was bursting for water and skulled the drink.
