The Face of the Alien King

The Face of the Alien King

Once upon a time there was a young rich girl named Ashley. She had a great interest in astronomy. One day she asks her father to take her to space in her rainbow rocket. While travelling she saw an orangish red colored a planet which had markings that looked like a man’s face. She understood that the planet was not yet discovered because she had never seen it in her planets chart. She asked her father to land immediately.

When they landed they saw aliens! They had 2 antennas, long eyes, star shaped nose and a tiny smiling mouth. They were delighted to have visitors come over to their planet. They asked one of the aliens to get something. The alien came back carrying something on a tray which they gave to Ashley. It looked like a fruit punch but tasted like coke (Even aliens drink coke!). But, she could sniff out something wrong. She found herself talking with the aliens. But can she talk in their language? That’s when she realized that the drink could help her speak alienese.

As she sat trying to get used to the idea of being with aliens and speaking alienese, she saw the king and queen of the planet.  She recognized that the face of the king of the aliens was exactly like the markings on the planet. They started speaking to her and asking many questions. She realized that whichever planet one lives in, elders ask the same questions, except for one question in this case “Which planet are you from?”

Using complex structures

Strolling across the road, I saw a mummy

   Taking of my shoes, going for a bath, I remembered that I had millions of homework to do.

   Working on the laptop, I wondered what was for lunch.

   Swimming in the pool, I felt fresh.

   Cleaning my bedroom, I had a call, of going to a party.

   Opening my presents, I tripped over my skateboard.

   Fighting with my friends, I got a headache.

   Waking with my friend, I saw a planet called Pluto.

    

My Awkward Dream

My awkward dream, was really scary -- sort of but, fun too. It was really adventurous.


It was a cold, dark night. The thunder was rolling and rumbling. " Oh! mighty Zeus is angry again!" I didn't like these kind of nights but then, it was time for an adventure. I started to look at my surroundings. I suddenly got a glimpse of an American flag. Next to it was a billboard that read "New York-Empire State Building. LOOK UP."


I looked up and I saw the building but I saw something else too. Above the building was a great big gap and there was a huge platform kind of a thing and I guessed what it was immediately, MOUNT OLYMPUS! The place where the Greek gods live. But, I wondered how I could see it and others not. It might either be that I could see through the mist or that I was a demi-god. I choose the first option because, being a demigod is harder than you think. You get attacked by monsters every time, if you're out of camp half-blood's magical borders.

Poem "Snort-Snort!"- Wilbur


Wilbur the pig. born as a runt

Slaughtered by someone, he shan't.

Brough up by Fern for a month,
Careful not to be a hunt.

Carried to a farm in a jeep,
For company only cow, goat, geese and sheep.

Till Christmas he'll be well fed,
Then chopped up to ham and bacon dead.

A spider saves his poor soul,
From getting barbecued on coal.

Weaves words on her web, in a manner which is logical,
But dumb humans think it's magical.

When Santa fell to Earth - Corneilus Funke

Everybody thinks a Santa is a stout, old, chubby man with a long snow white beard and a stomach that sticks out, but no. Have you ever imagined a Santa who is thin and young about... 18? Have you heard about the Christmas story? Of course you did, about Jesus remember? But have you ever heard about the “SANTA” story? No?! Not a “SANTA” story! There is no such thing. Everyone knows that right? N O! This is how it goes:

There’s this Santa whose name is Niklas Goodfellow. He lives up to his name (Goodfellow)! Anyway he has all the things the children who believe in Santa’s do. Like,

2 tiny angels about THIS size (4 inches)

And about a hundred elves THIS size. (2 inches)

The angels are 2 very kind-hearted couples, Matilda and Emmanuel. But, the elves so many that even poor Niklas couldn’t remember their names. He could mostly remember the naughty and the grumpy ones names like Specklebeard, Gingerbeard, Rufflebeard, Coalbeard, Goatbeard, Firebeard, Fuzzbeard (weird names) etc. and so on. So, they fall to Earth as there was a thunder and rain storm. Very few things survived the crash but, not Matilda’s favourite angel china dish. She was weeping badly but, Niklas reminded her that anything made in heaven grows back if broken. Then she felt comforted because. She thought Niklas is the kindest there is.

Soon people started observing the caravan. Bill who talked the least was walking down the lane to his school. His school was not that far away. He was walking with his best friend Will and came across Dean who is the class math whizz. Bill was not at all good at studies nor was he good at talking. But, when it came to sports and P.E he was the best. So, Dean greeted him the same usual way ‘Hey Pea-Brain! What sup?’  And Bill’s usual answer ‘The sky!’ Then dean challenged him to a deal saying if he knocked on that door and got an answer he would let Bill copy the math test and Bill agreed. As soon as he got an answer he fled off to his school. Soon after a few days he felt more confident and he went back to the caravan. After seating himself properly and drinking some hot chocolate he started enquiring and came to the question: What’s the Santa story? Now if you want to know about it please read the book.

I found the book very adventurous and I love adventure stories. I have never read any book like this. Have you? But it is a pretty good book.                                                                                                                                                   

Recount Writing on the Week that went by

The week was fun. We did many activities in all our subjects.

UOI- In this we did an activity which included using potatoes, straws, strainer,etc. We did the activity to understand how uor digestive system works. We used grated and chunks of potato as the food, the straw was the esophagus, the large strainer our small intestines and the smaller strainer the large intestine.

We also worked in pairs to make posters about the diseases we can catch if our digestive or our respiratory system does not work/function properly. The final result of our work were fantastic posters, which was very colourful as well as informative.

P.E.- On Monday we were divided in 3 groups that were shuttle run, hurdles race and skipping. Then as soon as we finished one of them we would procced to the next station. The rest of the week it was very hot outside so, we did skipping outdoors. We wod count how many skips we did in 5 minutes. But, on the last day we had a competion on who does the most skips in 4 minutes.

ENGLISH-We learnt about chronological writing and wrote many essays to practice it. We even watched a video of Tom and Jerry and wrote about it chronologically.

HINDI- The whole week we learnt about the different adjectives and wrote definitions and examples for them.

MATHS-We created 3 word problems. We normally find it boring but, Ms. Archana made it interesting.

Potato activity on digestive system {chronological}

POTATO ACTIVITY

First, we took a straw and took a piece of grated potato and tried to take the grated potato out of the other end. Next, we put pieces of potatoes in a bowl and filled it half way with water. Then, we put the lid of the bowl and started shaking the bowl after some time a bit of froth started getting collected on the top of the bowl. After that, we took pieces of grated potato and again filled it half way with water. Next, we shook the bowl again and this time we saw that there was more froth collected on the top, it was also dissolved. Then, we took a big strainer and strained all the water from the bowl into a glass. After that, we took a small strainer and strained out the remaining juice.

From observing this activity I understood that this was how our digestive system worked. The potato was our food. The straw was our food pipe. The big pieces the not properly chewed food. The grated pieces properly chewed food. The big strainer the small intestine and the small strainer the large intestine.

Chronological writing of respiratory system

  RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

We need to breathe to live. The system that helps us breathe is called the Respiratory system. So, let us know how our respiratory system works.

First, the air goes into your nose and enters your lungs through a pipe called wind pipe or trachea. Next, it goes into 2 pipes called the bronchi. Then, from the bronchi it goes to even smaller tubes called the bronchioles that are inside your lungs. After that, the bronchioles pass the air to the alveoli which take only the oxygen from the air. Finally, the alveoli pass the oxygen to the capillaries, which give the oxygen to the whole body through your blood.

Chronology on holidays

THE FIRST DAY OF MY HOLIDAYS 
I really enjoyed my holidays. Actually, all I did in my holidays was swim, read some books, play computer games and do a fun exercise course in the club. I had a lot of fun.

My first day of holidays was a bit like this: I woke up at 10:00 a.m. and had a delicious breakfast of bread, sausage and bacon (My holiday special !). Then, I did some jumping around the whole house listening to music. After that, I went to see how the construction in my new room was going. Our old kitchen was going to be my room. I then played Computer Games in my laptop for an hour. I started eating my lunch at 1:30 p.m. gradually, enjoying every bit of it till 2:15 p.m. I was so tired that I eventually fell asleep reading Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer on the bed in the AC room.

I woke up at 4:30p.m.Afterwards, I went to my father’s room and he asked me to join an agility course in the club. He explained everything I’ll be doing and even told me that it was games day that day. So, I agreed to join the course at 5:00 p.m. from that day onwards. Then, I reached the club and I got big surprise. My friend Sonal was there too. Gradually, the fun began increasing in the game. The class was for 1 hour. Then after the class I and Sonal went for swimming together. We were enjoying so much that we didn’t even have a count of the time and played for one and a half hours. Next me and my friend went to the food court and had some junk and went to our homes.

Fudge A Mania - Judy Blume

Name of the book: Fudge - A - Mania

Name of the Author: Judy Blume

Genre: All

Review:

Hi! I am Peter Hatcher and I am 10. I have a 1- 1/2 year old baby sister called Toothsie. I also have a really annoying 5 year old brother called Fudge. His actual name is Farley, But he is ready to kill anyone who calls him Farley. " Stop BARKING Turtle! ". Oh I almost forgot Turtle is my dog.


The story Fudge - A - Mania is a story about Fudge and our 3 week visit to Maine, a beach with our whole family. It all starts with Fudge telling me : I'm getting married!
Me : So, whose the lucky bride?
Fudge: Shiela Tubman!
And then I acted as if I fainted, because we are going to Maine for three weeks and living with Shiela Tubman, who is even more irritating and annoying than Fudge.

In order to tolerate 3 weeks with Shiela I called my friend Jimmy Fargo to come to Maine with us.

So, guess what happenned? Who got married in the end?

My GRANDMA and Shiela's GRANDPA!!

Here's a poem on the book:

Going to Maine, living with the Tubmans,
Equivalant to living with non-humans.

Shiela and Fudge make a bad combination,
The 2 most annoying people in the whole nation.

The vacation didn't go as bad as I thought,
Add to it, my grandma and Shiela's grandpa tied the knot.

Suitcase Kid - Jacqueline Wilson

The suitcase kid is all about a 10 year old girl called Andrea, who is very sad because her parents split up.

Both her parents want her to stay with them. She cooperates a lot but they keep fighting. Finally they go to the family counsellor for help and advice. They then decide that Andrea would stay at her mother's place for one week and at her father's for the next week and so on.

NOW!! Now begins the fun!!

Both her parents have their own partners and their own children. Andrea calls her mother's new husband 'The Big Hairy Baboon '. They has 3 children who are Paula, Ghrahm and the naughtiest and most annoying KATIE!. Her father's new wife Carrie has 2 children who are Crystal and Zen. They also get a new baby in the end who is called Zoe ( Zoey ).

Andrea gets in a lot of fights with kids, especially with Katie and gets badly scolded. All the scolding is made worse by Katie's snickers and smirks.

Over a period of time Andrea starts to get along with everybody.

Its an emotional book with a touch of humour. I hope this never happens, but if at all you meet someone going through parents split up then do suggest this book. It would be helpful.

POEM ON ENERGY

Travel, entertainment, cooking and many more;
All require energy galore.
Sources of energy are many my friends;
Selection of the ones renewable is what makes sense.

Crackling coal,gushing oil splitting uranium;
Most commonly used, they don't last long and form in a millemiun.

Trickling water down the stream;
OH! Looks like a wonderful dream.
Whistling air, moving with a flair;
Plant and animal waste, giving gases bare.
Burning sun and heat of the earth;
Reminder of clean power without dearth.

Let us work towards using renewable over non - renewable energy;
Let us take a pledge to conserve energy.
