“Ominous Oceans …Over…”
Sailor on the boat: “Pilot, huge wave coming, over.”
Pilot: “Be careful, go in opposite direction of the waves! Or if thrown into sea, lie on yer’ back and relax til’ me plane comes to get ya’. Remember, when in danger, talk inta’ yer’ receiver (walkie talkie) an’ tell me eh?”
The receiver made a crackling noise of water dripping forcefully from a shower which were made out and recognised by the pale and shaking pilot, Oliender. No one was answering and he was anxious to find out why, but words wouldn’t be freed from his mouth. To him, this meant danger, and really serious danger.He froze like an icicle glued to the floorboards. But finally, the words that were destined to cascade out of his blue-lipped mouth finally gushed out:
Pilot: “Are you there Barrian? Barrien? What’s happened?? Over.” But still, the unknown crunching noise was only to be heard. Oliender wasn’t the man to give up at a challenge, besides, he’d never given up any squabble for 32 years and wasn’t determined to end this battle easily…..
Sorry to end the story, but unfortunately the conclusion is not to be revealed for this is a post about something quite different:
During class times, we have been busy little bee-lings working our little minds and HEADS off, creating something “Extraordinary” for the Oceans project we are doing for this term. We had each, group or personally, chosen a topic to investigate and then we’d present it after learning some facts about it, in front of the huddled class nervously. We could present it in any way, so we were relieved.
My agents, Sharon and Momtahina are doing a case about “Whaling No Way!” which we learn about whaling. We’ve been studying and building with all the effort we can and have finally made a decision.Our presentation will be a satisfying Puppet show with a box for the stadium, decorated, and a whale coming to do an interview with a special Australian Comedian.
Then after this interview where the whale will talk about whale populations, whaling, how she feels, when it started, how sailors effect whales etc, a special billionare and significant person….. yes he IS A HUMAN……will be visiting to make fireworks of excitement explode up in the interview. But unexpectedly, a mysterious lady with a silly night gown and slippers come from out of the blue in a puff and respectful applause, to interrupt his conversation complaining that,” You haven’t finished your chores!!” and the poor man misses out while the woman takes over to talk about his progress in Stopping Whaling.
This passenger turned out to be his strict wife!! This puppet show will be amusing don’t worry. But I cannot reveal further, readers, you’ve yet to keep reading to find out EXACTLY what I’m talking about!! Sorry I am so mysterious these days…..

A Good Quick Mate & a Job to be Done!
25th of June, these special people have a look around our school. They are from Abu Dhabi, a special country in Asia, the middle east. I was o excited because I speak arabic and so do they, so them we could have something in common and also speak to eachother in this hidden language of ours!! Me, Nadine, and Sokeina, also from the Allstars, were hired to do a job. This is job was to walk along with them, translate if needed, explain if needed, and talk to them in Arabic about where they were, what the class was working on. Completing this job with us, Natalie, Ramiz and Momtahina, all from my class. It was a relief to have some friends, Sokeina and Momtahina to walk around with.
For 2 hours straight, we led them,l did our job, had a superb time and made some super nice friends. Me, I was instantly made a mate by a man called Ali, who had a heart of gold. it was a fun day!! Really!? And also, as a reward we received golden badges and touching thank you’s along with a special dessert with the teacher in the staff room! What a day, and an honour! How proud I had felt, so very proud. Part of the dessert was Scones, and cake. Yum!!!! :)
It was really heart breaking to say good bye for me!!!
A Naming
Clutching the soft ball of fur gently in her prickly arms, Sasha cried out with excitement. This was to be her child, how excited she was! Though how dazed she was too, exhaustion after this tiring process she ought to take a nap. But something nagged at her to be answered, something hidden deep inside her dusty head.
“Ahhhh, Philip my dear, what shall we call him? Tell me what?” she muttered, her swelled eyes already fluttering, as if crazy fans flapping around cooling a family down.
“The child, let me see……,” pausing glued to his thoughts, unable to speak until he identified a name, and irritated if interrupted. ” WE shall call our son…,” a name was so difficult to materialize, he just wouldn’t make out that name.. it was concealed, just by the tip of his tongue, it wouldn’t flush out!” We’ll call him…
” That is perfect dear, oh am I lucky to have you, my hero, saved the Name-disaster! Now I guess I must…..,” so she broke offand slumped in her mattress in the poorly lit room, unaware of her husband’s direct stare at his crying son, figuring a smart way to stop him weeping. His eyes met his sons, and the little boy seized his cries, for some time, gazing through the galaxy of stars through them, a certain magical string tugging them together, leaving them unable to let go. As much as Philip tried, it wouldn’t work and he’d find himself attracted to the sorcery of his son’s eyes widely open and galring at him, the glare of some one trying to work out where they are, stuck in the middle of nowhere, a soft breeze blowing their hair through their eyes.
Before Philip could pronounce the name, Sasha had thought he had, fallen asleep and left him lying there. His brain full of names and words, searched and searched and searched, finally coming to a decision. Grinning madly from ear to ear, propping his glasses in place, he said it, and about time too,” I will call you, my dearly son, my blood my soul, my heart, every piece of me. I will name you…. Hartley, my dear gracious son, may this name stick to you from this second on!!
495, 495, 495!!!
Numbers numbers floating all around me, they are making me dizzy and feel as if i am to faint. Though, what may I be talking about, what am i going on? “Is this girl going mad thinking of numbers?” you ask, though I am not!! 495, it simply stands for the number of comments I have and tell you what, I am so fascinated and excited, it doesn’t please me more. All thanks to you all, my dear and lovely friends which I will never forget for eternity, I love you all, so thanks for this opportunity, THANK YOU!!!
To keep the record and reach to 500, that is my goal now so please let it come true for me, I would love it if 5 more wonderful bloggers raced and commented. Thank you for reading, and I will be staying in touch to tell you the result. Last things, YOU ALL ROCK MY HOUSE!!!!!!

This is how I feel, like a sport perosn winning a medal!These 2 friends indicate us all together as one.
Just What We Need…
A cheque!!!! All the school prefects, including me, gingerly heard the news before the entire school! Preparing for the assembly, we sat on our chairs in the hall, organized our speeches and waited eagerly and excitedly to reveal the news. As students piled in, the last class arrived and sat in silence.
The assembly went on as usual, didn’t seem any different to the students.But as Mrs Dyer, our Principal stepped up to the front of the stage everyone gasped. She made a small speech about going to the Parliament House, Canberra, Australian Government 2008 National Award for Quality Schooling - Achievement by a Principal award.to receive an…….. AWARD!!! For being the 2nd best teacher in the WHOLE ENTIRE OF AUSTRALIA in technology, teaching and using computers for education. I am SO proud of her and think she deserves this for working so hard all her life. I am proud to have a wonderful principal like her and feel that what she received could make our school respected and special. That is not only what she got. She also won………………………… a slightly mesmerising cheque that contained…… she opened it and inside was…………….
$10 000 for the school!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my lord how happy I was, the smile painted on my face, if it got any larger, would have definitely made me bleed from the edges because of the tension. How shocking!! The whole school clapped and cheered, their grins unable to peel off. This money, would mean HEAPS to our school, because it is not that wealthy, it will help so much indeed. This money could provide us with sports equipment, computers, laptops, special needs, school needs, canteen food and way more. I am SO proud of miss Dyer and thank her a billion for winning this award.
GO MRS DYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
This is how shocked I was, though this is not me, this is a picture of a shocked girl from Flickr CC .

Invasion of the Jollybops!!
Jollybops? Who are they? Well they are consisting of 2 people: Jolly Professor and Rusty the Robot who was painted as a robot, all surrounded with silver glitter and metal. They came to our school to teach us some Aboriginal Science, like playing a Didgeridoo, an Australian long stick that you put your mouth over to make music. There were many people who were allowed to volunteer as the Jollybops people let them do experiments.
A journey, this is, of smoke rings exploded noiselessly out of a filled with smoke bin when tapped, comeback frisbees which are 3 sided frisbees that when thrown fly back to you because of air pressure forcing it back, a Didgeridoo with attitude, a silly gun-shaped paper-spraying tube that Rusty sprayed on Jolly Professor covering him entirely making the paper look as if it’d swallowed him, crazy and amazing fire tricks, Lunatic Lid that explodes each time put on, Soothing Song sang by Rusty to audience (Us), high 5’s and pictures. Tempted already? Have a READ!!! But I will talk most of the ones I loved best.
The best One! The trick i most loved was the one where Momtahina and some other guy held a stick tightly, aiming at a balloon filled with a special gas… OOOOOOOOOHHHH, suddenly the balloon explodes and it RELEASES FIRE!!! It looked alot like an explosion!! We all stood firmly and shocked, as we clapped the Professor on. That was definitely the best trick!
When I was volunteered: The trick of the Far Tap of the Can that Blew the Paper Cups off our heads was performed. But thank god, for once, i was allowed to volunteer and proudly come up to the stage to perform the trick. I was told to put a cup on my head and stand still, as the loud sounds from quite far coming from the jolly Professor tapping on the box echoed, the cup fell off! Even a teacher, Miss Jenkins nervously performed the trick!!
Rusty’s Persistent personality: What i loved about Rusty, was he was so funny and silly, he acted really out of the ordinary, but that is what I liked about him. He even sprayed paper out of a gun shaped tube that wrapped itself around Jolly Professor, making the school laugh!! It filled him completely, it even made he look like the paper had gobbled him up!! Through out this Visit Rusty also fell in love with the pretty Miss Krisenthal which he gave a bright flower and carton fake plane full of love to her. We were all touched to see such care. And for those reasons, count him as my favourite character, for his persistent nagging personality!!
Lucky last, to end the fantastic show, I received 3 high 5’s from Rusty, my truly favourite character so you would know how joyful I was and over the moon i felt; a picture of their astonishing equipment and a photo of them, FOR REAL!
Sorry about so much photos!!
The professsor? aha!
Blown away!!
Love is so touching sometimes. Have a look at the flower Rusty gave to Mrs Krisenthal.
Mrs Jenkins about to cry from fright!!
Me being volunteered, how exciting!!!
Here are the professor and up close the wonderful Rusty!!

Tutpup, Have a Go!
Mrs P, just today showed a site called “Tut pup”. It is a fun website where you create a competitor by choosing a colour, animal and number. Then you have to play some Maths or Spelling games to verse other people, which is EXTREMELY FUN!!!! When you win, you get a kind of Win Wall that says you won against this person. And when you fill up all those boxes of the Win Wall, you move up to a higher, i think, position.
This game is not only educational, but exciting and fun. I say, make ONE AND PLAY ALL YOU WANT!!!! Here is the website, enjoy!

Silly ME!
I watched, entertained in my spot on the floor at home, my flat, about 8 years ago when I was 4. My new born sister, Norma, was helplessly crawling out of the window sill, eagerly waiting to see what would lay beneath, not knowing it would be death. My mother had recently given birth to her,maybe 5 months ago. Currently,. the entire family, except my little sister Diala who wasn’t born yet, were seated famished in the kitchen gobbling a few strips of hot chicken.
Norma, little baby version of course, was started to crawl down slowly bit by bit and i just stood there watching in awe. It was like a movie to me, if she fell i’d still have the same expression. Nothing mattered to me as gradually she slid down, now only her red and swelly feet dangling from the window pane in joy, not a single thought of the painful end that would soon crush her. And still, i stood enjoying the show! How silly of me! Just on the last second, as her body skidded down the window sill, my brave dad caught sudden sight of her when he strode out of the kitchen and, from about 10 metres away, jumped with no care of what would happen to him, and flew over to Norma, grabbing her by the sweaty singlet, which was managing to slip from his firm grip. But now nothing could stop him from saving her, with a “You are SO IN TROUBLE when I get Norma safely on the floor!!” that filled me with surprise, not noticing what i had done and filled me with fear of what pain I’d go through after Norma was happily crawling back on the carpet.
Hopefully grabbing her pushing and struggling body of pure fat and chubbiness, dad bent down, kissed her lovingly and left her seated on the floor smiling and tugging at her shirt. As for me, he still looked a bit disappointed, but left me be with a sharp glance. But before leaving me, before I’d sigh with utter relief, he ended the situation confidently and wisley with the ear-throbbing thunder scream of flowing letters with soon formed into good words and cascading furiously out of his mouth,” NEVER DO THAT AGAIN YOU HEAR NADINE? YOU JUST SAT THERE AND WATCHED YOUR SISTER WHO COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD IF I HADN’T GRABBED HER!!! LET THIS BE A WARNING! ONE MORE TIME OF THIS NONSENSE GOING ON IN MY HOUSE, YOU’LL SURELY REGRET YOU UNDERSTOOD?” he bellowed, sighting the dripping tears struggling through the maze of a face i had. When he realised I hadn’t answered, he screeched once more,” UNDERSTOOD?!” shaking me a soar look, impatiently waiting for my sad reply to tumble out.
“Yes Dad,” i muttered without looking up, upset and disappointed of the unmature reactions I’d given him.
“Good,” he paused, lowering his expression to a soft mumble,” now go to your room,” was the last that was heard as i obediently marched out of the location, head still bowed. And that was that but my father still had a point, if he hadn’t been there, my life would be completely different, and Norma would have not been alive. So i still had a feeling that dad was right and i was wrong, that i deserved a short hit for my unwise actions. This was remembered by me for my entire life time, even now as i write this. Readers, don’t blame him, after all, SILLY ME TO HAVE JUST STOOD THERE, eh?
