The Magical Forest
Once upon a time in a far away land there was a magical forest called the mystical forest. In the mystical forest there were amazing creatures like fairies, elves, unicorns and lots more that you couldn’t imagine.
One day the fairy princess met a nice prince and got engaged. She told her father about this and he got angry for not letting him know any sooner. All he was saying to his daughter was stuff like “does your mother know about this?” or “how do you know that he is even of royal blood?”.
Penelope (which was the fairy princesses name) got very tired of this and started yelling back at her father. She was sick and tired of him giving her lectures over nothing, so she decided to run away with her future husband to his kingdom.
Once she got there she got married to the prince. Several weeks after her honeymoon she realised what a terrible mistake she had made for running away from her mother and father. She flew back to her kingdom and went to the palace.
She apologised to them and found out that she had a new baby sister! She was overwhelmed with happiness and her parents were glad that she was back. In the end they all lived happily ever after. I hope you enjoyed this piece of writing! <3
Kidnapped
On a cold winter’s afternoon about 3:30pm, I was walking home from school when I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw a blue Toyota Camry pull up. I walked over to the car and peeped inside, when suddenly someone grabbed me from behind.
I went to scream but the person behind me put their hands over my mouth, then hurled me inside the car. I look around and saw two masked men in the back seat and one masked person in the front. The car speeds down the deserted streets.
Then everything goes dark. I realise that I have a bag over my head. “Oh my god, I’m being kidnapped!” After what seemed like hours of driving the car finally came to a halt. Someone picked me up and took me outside then dropped me on the ground.
“Ow, that hurt,” I said to myself. I slowly rise to my feet. Someone took the bag off my head. I looked around and saw what looked like a prison. I tried to contain myself while I was being pushed into the prison building then into a cell.
One of the kidnappers began to talk. “Little girl in case you’re wondering why you’re here I’ll tell you. See your father works at a jewellery store and we’ve kidnapped you and are holding you ransom for all the jewels in the shop.
“HA HA HA HA.” With that they left. “What am I going to do?” I thought to myself as I walked around the cell. What a discovery! This would change things for sure. They left the door unlocked. How stupid are they if they’re trying to kidnap someone?
They should at least do it right!! I slowly opened the door and snuck out. I peered outside the window to see that the kidnappers were just outside and that one of them was on the phone. I heard him talking, “Mr Stockerman if you ever want to see your little girl again then you will give me all your jewels.”
I stepped back from the window. What to do now? I looked around the cell and bingo! The cell keys were on a wall. I walked back over to my cell and shut the door. I still have the keys in my hand then I lay on the ground and start yelling, “help, help. Oh someone please help me.”
Suddenly all the kidnappers rush through the door and into my cell. Quick as a flash I hop up and shut and lock the door behind me. “How did you do that?” one of them muttered. “You left the door unlocked,” I replied mockingly. I walked outside and saw a cell phone. I picked it up and called the police.
When they arrived they were startled to see me sitting outside whistling happily and the kidnappers locked up inside a prison cell. Then the next day I received an award and $1000,000 for capturing them. It turned out that the kidnappers were master criminals and had been on the run for 3 years.
Statistics and Probability
Task description: This week during Maths, we are learning to work out the probability something will happen. We had to interpret and draw conclusions from the data presented in graphs.

Home learning – Nicki Minaj
A hero is someone who creates their own path, someone who isn’t afraid to separate themselves from society. Nicki Minaj fits that description perfectly. Some people don’t view her as a hero, but to a lot of people she’s a role model and an inspiration. She revolutionised women in the hip-hop/rap music industry, so much so that critics state, “She’s one of the best rappers of all time.” Minaj is also the first solo female artist to have seven singles on Billboard’s top 100 at the same time, also she is the only female rapper to be featured on Forbes Hip-Hop Cash Kings list. She has been awarded the best Female Hip-Hop artist at the 2010 BET Awards.
Onika Tanya Maraj, Nicki’s birth name, came from a hard life in Queens, New York. Her father was a drug addict and a heavy drinker, at one point he tried to kill her mother by burning the house down. Once she was old enough, she started working. She got fired from fifteen different jobs because of her standing up for what she believed in. Her last job before she was discovered at 19 was at Red Lobster. Imagine that, someone going from working at Red Lobster to going on tours with other celebrities.
It was a tough road for Minaj even when she realised she had the talent to be a star. At first she wanted to be on Broadway, but was eventually turned down, and attended a performing arts school. Then she found a passion for the music industry, particularly rap. She tried but was told ‘no’ a lot. She kept on trying though, she said at one point that she always had a female empowerment drive which led her to want to become successful so she could help her mom out. Her first record label was with the Dirty Money label. Nicki Minaj made a series of mix tapes with the label but it just didn’t work. Lil Wayne, another current rapper, heard her mixtapes and wanted to sign her. Nicki signed to Young Money Cash Money Entertainment label, which happens to be her current label.
Nicki Minaj inspires a lot of people. She carved her own path for her life, not listening to what other people were saying about her not being able to “make it big.” She went into the music industry not as a singer but as a female rapper, which is almost unheard of. She might not be a person whose actions I want to copy, but her determination and motivation is something I really admire. She pushes herself everyday to be better and to try harder. In a world where a lot of people don’t go after what they are after because they are scared, or being bullied, or people are telling them no you’ll never be able to do that, we could use more people like her.
Your definition of a hero may be different than mine but one heroic quality that I find important is leadership to pursue their dream and to just enjoy life and be happy with who they are. She is a true leader and a hero, and Nicki Minaj has proven herself to be an inspiration to all mankind. She has inspired many people. Nicki Minaj will be remembered for a long, long time.

Guy Fawkes Day
Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated every year on November 5th. It started in England and later spread to many other places around the world, including Canada, South Africa, and Australia. The event is also known as Bonfire Night.
Guy Fawkes Day celebrates the failure of a plot against the English government in 1605. Several people, including a man named Guy Fawkes, planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
However, the government found out about the plot before the attack could take place. The government arrested Guy Fawkes and his conspirators. This brought an end to what became known as the Gunpowder Plot.
Guy Fawkes and the others were convicted of treason. The Parliament then announced a national day of thanksgiving to celebrate their survival.
The observance was set for the day the attack would have taken place, November 5. The first celebration was held on November 5, 1606. Today, Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated with feasts, bonfires, and fireworks.
Straw men designed to look like Guy Fawkes, called “guys,” are often burned as well. Children often make their own guys and then take them around their neighborhoods asking for “a penny for the guy,” or a small bit of money that is supposed to help pay for the big party.
