A Memo from God

The girl who had wings

IT was a normal radiant day in Marshport, Talia  was sleeping serenely  waiting to do her normal school routine. When she woke up she went to her very shiny mirror. She looked in the mirror, and her mouth  opened wide and her eyes could not believe the reflection that stared back at her.

Looking back it was her face, her same clothes but she could see clearly two clear, white wings, like those of an angel.

It had a very smooth touch. She did a terrifying scream that everybody could hear and slightly fainted to the ground.

She woke up a few minutes later and came sprinting from her room and practiced trying to fly for the first time.

You won’t believe what she could see through her own eyes. She thought she was in her own imagination  she opened her eyes again and she was flying. She landed on the ground safely. She opened the door and she couldn’t see anyone in her family until she noticed a little note on the fridge  saying, Dear Talia we have gone to work and will see you Tonight.

When talia  went to school  everyone was shocked that talia had wings. When she made it back home she could hear something strange from the living room she opened the door silently. When she opened the door  she could see a person with a cloak and covered their identity, The person told Talia to sit down and take this before sunset. If she didn’t take potion before sunset she would have wings through her whole life.

As soon as she was given the potion the person disappeared and wondered where the person went. She flew upstairs and went into the bathroom and took the potion and made her go to sleep. Talia woke up and  runned to the bathroom to see if her wings were gone She

turned around and all of a sudden her wings were gone. Talia was relieved that her wings were gone and things went back to normal.

people did heaps of patterns.Mr B  told us that the patterns we used must be standing out and big.

d out to show detail. The colours we chose had to be tints ,tones and secondary.

Tints and tones are colours which are dark  that turn into bright colours are mixed together


her. Secondary colours are two  colours combined with each other. We also included col

I am learning to use word art to share my learning. 

The word art above is complied of the writing below.  In recalling this experience, I have used many of the new words that I have learnt from this exciting experience.

Today in technicraft Mr Nair taught us to use a burner for the first time and told us to focus doing it and talked about the parts of machines that  can be toxic and dangerous.We also picked a character that would stand out and we used ink paper which was mixed with 10 inks from pen . A burner is like a pencil but has a white wire and has a machine that is connected with it. Mr Nair told us that  wires can electrocute you and burn you. We transferred and got creative with colourful paint and got a little bit messy but at the end of woodwork we had fun.

Religious Education

We are learning to identify and discuss virtues.

Today in science we learnt about the hot air balloon. The materials were Meths burner tripod matches glause mat balloon ice and flask. Miss Gawith taught us how to do the experiment. We stretched the balloon and rubbed the ice between our hands until it would fit in the flask. Then we lite the match and meths burner. Putting the brick on top of the meths burner and place the tripod over it and place the glause mat on top and add the flask. The ice made cold air to the balloon and condensation . At the bottom bubbles started rising and the water was swirling. The balloon popped and had liquid came out of it. The meths burner was taken out by the cap. The ice melted and turned into water. The experiment was interesting. After morning tea we talked about our candle experiment
