Writing Description.

Friends. Siblings. Family. All gathered around the park for a special reason. The boy’s birthday and he was doing a very special trick.

Climbing on top of a tree, hugging tight with fear and refusing to let go but still, fear wrapped around him like a snake.Soon he climbed. Higher. Still he could smell sausages, food and fresh air from up there.. As he got closer, he could smell BBQ smoke.

He looked down to see the ground laughing evilly at him and the tree shouting “Jump, Jump, Jump!” With a deep voice. The trampoline underneath, and to the right were people. Laughing and singing.



The boy heard a demon, dressed as his friend, asking him if he’s ready. Getting ready to push him off. He took a step forward. Tears running out of his eyes and it suddenly started raining. He took one step closer to the edge.

He took another step closer to the edge and he could taste blood even though he wasn't bleeding. He jumped off and the air inside his lungs tried escaping but he held it in. As he was falling, he did a double front flip and landed safely with a smile.

On Wednesday the 13th of February, we were lucky enough to interview Mark Lowndes. He is famous for his appearance in Australia’s Got Talent. Miss Aireen organised our interview, which we did online using google chat. I learnt that Mark Lowndes has been singing for 12 years, his mother inspired him to sing, he grew up in a musical family, he has a wife and a 2 kids and that he’s kids inspired him to go on Australia’s Got Talent. He left us with the message to all be patient. I felt amazed by him. Below is a photo of Mark and a link to a video/ site for more information.

Volcano description

I can see the lava flowing into the water, making the steam rise. The lava was so hot that you can hear the sizzling sound. As the steam rose higher, the steam became mist that spread through out a 1 mile radios. I can also see rocks tumbling out of the volcano like a giant firework bursting out into sparks and splashing into the water. People screaming in terror, while the active volcano spews out hot magma. I can feel the volcano shaking the ground when it erupts making a small earthquake.
