My day at the beach

One hot sunny day I was sun bathing at the beach when I heard a weird sound I shot up like a canon but no one was there.It must of been the heat making me go crazy. So I lay back down on the scorching hot sand.but there it was again it was as if someone was talking to me so I ran and dived into the sea but the sound kept going but right beside me was a dolphin it talked I thought I was dreaming but I wasn't I jumped out and grabbed my diving gear so that I could follow the dolphin it went through some seaweed under coral then finally stopped at a old shipwreck but then I realised that my mum was meant to pick me up at five to take me home but it was only 3 o'clock so I had time. it had disappeared into the ship so I followed it swim to the back of the ship and into a big room. I stuck my head around the corner and there was a hole pod dolphins living in the shipwreck they were all crowded around a big chest of treasure it had gold silver necklaces diamonds and one of the dolphins had a crown on its head but then one saw me it started to swim over to me and it caught the eye of one of the older dolphins so aventerly the hole pod was staring and it was as if I was a cat in a room full of dogs. I didn't know what to do would they think I was trying to steal there treasure or will they be nice and give me some so I closed my eyes crumpled up into a ball hoping they wouldn't see me but they did. don't worry we won't hurt you a voice from in frount of me said. I opened one eye then the other it was the one with the crown my name is hector and I am the master of this pod. you are probably wondering why we are in this ship it has a story to it that I going to tell you. it was about a year ago me and my pod were trying to find a new place to live after our old place was destroyed  in a big storm. A big ship slowly appeared over the water casting a big shadow.when suddenly a emormas net fell from above I was able to escape but Julie and Susan were unable to. slowly the net close and glided up. I started to panic what was going to happen.but time was marching on so I told everyone to chew though the rope but it was no use. I sent a signal out to all the whales sharks sting rays you name we needed  help to get them out of there. in about five seconds there was fish comeing from all directions we hidled in group. I told the sharks to break the net and the whales jumped onto the ship it slowly sunk there where two life rafts with people in.  once the sharks cut through the rope Susan came rushing out but Julie got her fin stuck in the net she would have to take it easy for I next few days I had a sigh of relief it could've been alot worse.afterwards when my pod searched the ship there were lots of shark and dolphin fins we didn't want that to happen to us. but right in the back room of the ship was a treasure chest and then you showed up and that is the story of this sunken ship

I just stood there for a while to take it all in I did not know what fish could do such a thing. I suddenly remembered that my mum was picking me up at 5.I said goodbye and swim to shore and sure enough there was mum sitting in the car. that night on the news it had that a fishing ship had sunk today.

This is the story of Christchurch

1. My heart melted as I stumbled into christchurch the cold empty city with nothing but dust and rubble. Earthquakes can have an incredibly devastating effect on people and land

2. Let’s go back in time to Tuesday the 22nd of February 2011 at 12:51pm. Most people were out having lunch when  a 6.3 magnitude earthquake! struck  Christchurch was no stranger to earthquakes ... they had been occurring since September the year prior but this one was different.  The epicentre of the earthquake was very shallow with an upward movement, not the normal side-ways motion we usually feel.it was this upward movement, close to the surface, that destroyed buildings and caused 185 deaths and an estimated 1500 - 2000 injuries,164of them very serious.

3. The building that completely collapsed killing most of the people inside, was the CCTV building.  I went to visit the site of where this building had been and I was overcome with the sadness that filled the air.
4. Across the road were 185 white chairs - each one representing a person who died in the quake.  The artist had selected a seat that reflected each person that died and I was particularly upset to see a little baby capsule representing a 5 month old baby that died.

5. Three whole years after the quakes much of christchurch is still a bomb site.  60% of the buildings that used to be in the city centre have already been demolished.They still have 8% to tear down.the christchurch city council has begin the massive creation of a new Christchurch, which is expected to take 3 - 5 years. Although this sounds a long time, it has given the people of Christchurch the opportunity to decide what they want their new city to be like.  It may end up being one of the most well-planned cities in the world.  

6. however, the damage is not only located in the city.  I drove out to Brighton and along the way it was devastating to see all the homes that looked practically new but were abandoned.  Some had all the windows smashed with doors wide open and were tagged all over.  Then you would see the odd house with people still living in them.  

7. Even amongst this devastation is hope.  I admire the people who have lived through this - and hope their dreams of their new Christchurch can come true.

winkle bin laden

I have a cat called winkle bin laden who is black and white likes to sleep in the garden.

The garden is sunny and warm and she likes to hide its her place where she can spig.

She’s 13 yrs old quite old for a cat but that doesn’t stop her from killing birds and putting them on the door mat . She sometimes gets frisky and gallops about and grabs legs passing and makes us all shout. But mostly she likes to nap somewhere warm in the garden or inside by the fire when there is a storm. She lets us know when she  wants to come in by sitting on the wood box by the window and meowing. Once she in she rubs up and tangles herself around our feet tripping and annoying us until we gave her a feed. She avoids my little brother to her he is cruel. I love my winkle she is so snuggly and cool.
