ARBORIA

ARBORIA!

On Tuesday the 6^th of  October  1,00 pm Olivia  M, Sophie M, Amelia M and their  parents Lydia and David went to the one the only       

ARBORIA!

If  you are wondering what ARBORIA is it is a giant inflatable maze made of  recycled  ripped pieces of plastic that nobody  wanted  anymore. To get to ARBORIA the eager family rode the train down at Meadow bank station. When they got to ARBORIA  they stopped for some food while David M went to check how long the the wait in the line was for the people who had tickets. There were only one group of people going to ARBORIA who had tickets so when they finished there food they ran to the line so nobody got there before them. They made it just in time, whew! on the way their were lots of people who asked them for some money back the had no money on them so they keep running and they got there. when they were inside the first dome a man told  Olivia, Sophie and Amelia the rules of  ARBORIA:

1. No running
2. No jumping on the walls
3. No sliding on the walls
4. Have fun!!

Olivia M says  “ Inside each dome it was like an amazing calming bubble where worries slip away and you feel happy with nothing on your mind (except the fact that ARBORIA is awesomely amazing)” There was trees that  went through the roof but they were not real trees they were well I don’t know what they looked  liked I will ask Olivia. So Olivia what did the trees look like? “ They were like colourful pillars coming from the ground to the roof.” And now a quote from Lydia. So Lydia what part did you like the best?  “ I  liked the main dome with colours that overlapped other colours’ thank you  Lydia.” So David  when you enter  the inflatable maze what does it feel like?”  “It makes you feel calm and your worries disappear so you should definitely go there when you get the chance”

The Black Hat

The Black Hat

This is Jacob with his black hat

Hello my name is Jacob. I live in a cottage in the deep, dark and spooky woods with my ancient Granddad. There isn't a lot than I can do around here so I go for long forest walks hoping to find something new. Yesterday you are not going to believe what happened I found a big Black Hat . I was over rejoiced at what I found so I  placed it on my head and went to show Granddad. He looked at at the hat and told me "It is just a normal hat, Sorry Jacob" I was so annoyed at myself  "I can never find anything good or special" I thought but still I kept the hat on my head until it was time to go to bed. So I placed the hat on my bed side table and fell asleep. But I did not know that my high hat was magic which freed magical animals from being imprisoned in the hat for a WHOLE DAY! that is a long time. So they came out of the hat and in all there glory and danced and danced. 

I woke up and found the animals dancing on my floor. I got out of my bed to have a look. I wondered where all the amazing creatures had come from, I  was worried that they so escape so I put them into jars and cages, and put them on my shelf.

Each day I would look at them and be memerized at their beauty, but then one day I saw open cage and a bird had escape. I was so sad, so I ran around the wood calling the birds to look for them. I went all around the forest calling his name, until I found at the top of the tallest tree. 

"Please come back, I miss you, please come back to me". But he didn't. I went back home feeling heartbroken. When I went to look at my other creatures, I saw the two more had flown away. I remembered the tree, and set off in that direction. 

There I found them, at the top of the tree. "Please oh please, come back to me" I shouted. But the birds just flapped their wings and took the air. They were so much more beautiful in flight than in their cages. I knew what I had to do, I ran home to free every animal from their cages. We all went to the tree and had a dance party like friends from long ago, and we danced until I had to go home. I told my granddad all about the black hat and the magic birds and he just said "Get ahold of your imagination Jacob" But I under my breath so nobody heard me " never"
