Ana Powerraptor
The Powerraptor is one of the most vicious dinosaurs ever existed. Even though it looks cute it is a threat to all animals and human beings. The Powerraptor is one of the deadliest predators in the world.
Surprisingly the Powerraptor is a carnivore that lives in the rain forest. The Powerraptor lives in the rain forest for a reason they live in the rain forest because herbivores live there also. Surprisingly Powerraptor is one of the most clever dinosaur that ever existed.
Its horn can camouflage itself by zapping something. Its wings could help Powerraptor fly. It also swims because when his legs do the splits and the tail goes round and round it moves fast.

The equipment they use is called Glossary it is really sharp it can cut through metal. They also wear a air tank so they can breath also for the bad smoke to stay out of their mouth.

Asembly
While I was walking into the hall I noticed Mr Burt was being an auctioneer selling stuff. He said, “Going once going twice sold to number 33.” He shouted loud to get everybody's attention at school because he was selling a basketball to the students. As the price got higher children called out their price trying to get the basketball.
MY favorite team was team 3 because they were learning and thinking about what you want to be when you grow up. The teachers were dressed as a police a fire fighter and a surgeon and also a builder plus a cowboy for the topic this year. They taught us that you work for money.
My second favorite team was team 2 because they were learning about ice-cream. At the assembly Miss Nalder taught us about the toppings and the flavours. Miss Nalder was doing a trivia contest for ice-cream. She asked us questions about ice cream if you get the questions right you will have a ice-cream.
It was so amazing that our teachers planned our topic for this term. I am looking forward for learning about this topic about trade and enterprise. It was really funny that Mrs Barks acted like a lady i would be embarrassed if I was him.

bouncy castle
On friday youth town hired a bouncy castle for our school. It was so kind of them. It was a slide bouncy castle. Mostly all the boys jumped not slid. They all did a humongous bomb, it seemed liked they were at the pools.The bouncy castle felt like lying on a fluffy cloud. It was really scary because it was so high like a peak.
Every one got two turns each but we had to wait in a line patiently because we had to follow the rules. It was so funny how far the boys jumped up. It looked like they were flying like super man. Some people slid down like santas sled and his deers, it seemed like it was Christmas already.
It was so funny when our sports teacher Miss Va’afusauga slid down the jumpy castle like Flash. Everybody had their own way of jumping down or sliding. It was so wow and awesome that they gave us a bouncy castle that I’ve made a fake word its called wowsome that how I feel about youth town giving the jumpy castle.

The lighthouse
On a dull starless night there was a old stone lighthouse on a cliff. Its light was illuminating the village below as it rotated.
In the tavern the villagers celebrated a season called teder day to show that they support the villages hard work . They all raised their beers and with a humongous cheer they said “Yay”.
In the lighthouse the lighthouse keeper was finishing off his work. In a flash the wind pushed the window open and blew the candle out. With annoyance he slammed the window shut. An unusual clanking ”began” disturbing the festivities. Suddenly everywhere plunged into darkness as if there was a storm.
As fast as he could he ran up the stairs and surveyed the mechanical cogs and wheels with his lantern. He looked at the enormous lamp and it was extinguished.
The lighthouse keeper “Didn't Even Bother”i to change the light source then he heard a large blast he saw that the boat was going to clash so he panicked.He tried lifting the light source but he stumbled down and the giant lamp shattered in a million pieces.
He thought that it was “Hopeless” but he got a inspiration from the villages.So he gathred the villages to the lighthouse to make a light source.so he made them go over the treacherous headland and the back safely.
