upcycling

this was my up cycling work

If I was A

If I Were A… Bird

I would dance below the clouds

I would let the wind brush past me.

I would be a soft bird, gentle and loving

The world would be my playground

With no one to tell me what to do  

If only I was a bird

If I was a… flower

If I was a flower I would watch the day go by

I would be white with a soft yellow middle

I would be placed in a garden full of roses

And one day I would be picked by the sweetest little girl

Arriving in kingston

I have a photo. It was taken by my dad 2015 A photo of us me Jessie and Bennie I am young, about 10 There we are my house Christmas day, just the family and me, sitting on the couch in the music room  with the fireplace in front of us, on either side of me is Jessie and Bennie. Behind the fireplace is a pool where we play in the summer.

the house was usual enough

The house was usual enough; it had

A library, a music room, a kitchen, a dog

With four little paws he ran around on and even a big lawn

I like. My brother, my best friend and I

Did what all kids do-play minecraft all

Day, go biking round the roundabout, dodge parents like Spies, crawl around in the flax tunnels and

Play bang when night falls

Tall dark trees, climb or swim

Doing nothing important.

Lily's map

Although this walk is hard, it’s still a lot of fun. We stop to have small brake. I can see fritanga, he had two photos of his sons on either side of him. We stop  by a sines to take a photo. My shoulder are sore from my bag and my feet were bored of walking. I feel tired, I want to lay down but I keep going. I can see green tall trees. I breathe in the air, cold and fresh, around me.  

The ground is, hard like a rock, messy like my room and full of plants.

As I go to left nicole, I hope I don’t drop her. The song cheerleader is on. It made me happy to dance and toldy fail with my friends. Zoe and I Were on the end and forgot what we were meant to do.  The dance was short, bad and fun. Now that it’s over all I can do is laugh.

My Card

This is the bowline knot 

WE made a video to show how it's made. We are are going yachting soon so we will need to know how they are made. When yachting you need the knots so the boat will not capsize. Or maybe The boat will brake.  

This  is the figure of 8 knot

by the one and only Lily    With 15min to play     Riding till the end     One wrong move and I  will be sitting down     Pushing the pedals      Obeying the road rolls Stopping at the red lights Slowly riding in the park      Look both ways   Think and go along the road     Turning corners     Big wheels    Rolling   Yet stopping    Waits,    And then I jump    Waiting till I can go    The red light    Go forward and back    The wheel    Wobbles    Wavers,        I Hesitate,        Will I fall off?         Just as  I am going to fall off          And  then        And then                                                                               And then         I hear the whistle    I go to have my lunch

The movies was usual enough

The movies was usual enough; it had

A popcorn machine, a counter, and a Cinderella poster

That was taller than me. Nicole and me

did what girl do when waiting- stood and talked

Till we were let in, walked into the cinema, sat in the

top row, watched like eagles through the

Soft loud movie,

At the end we walked out and talked

Doing nothing important.
