whit recall what we did during Tech.

At tech we are making dominoes out of wood. we are using drills to make holes, and the saw to cut the wood into squares the sander is used to smooth the edges.  

I feel happy because it was able to use tools like Drills and saws.

I’ ve done this many times before, but I’m still excited. I’m one of ten smokeJumpers waiting for my turn to Jump smoke Jumpers are firefighters. We’re the firefighters who go to fires that no one eles can get to. We get to the fires by plane. Then , we parachute down to where the fire is. 

Today, our Job is to put out a fire that’s high in the hills. I look down at the smoke and flames. It’s not a good sight. This fire’s out of control. If we don’t stop it soon, hundreds of houses will burn down. 

Now it’s my turn to jump, I drop into a sitting Position. I’m still excited. A tap on the back tells me it’s Time to go. I take a deep breath and jump into the smokey air. I can feel the heat from the fire even though I’m far above it. I can see the flames licking the trees. I count down to when I’ll open my parachute. Jump, one thousand-look, one thousand-reach, one thousand-wait, one thousand-pull! My parachute apens above me dragging me back up, and then sailing me down to the burning ground below. 

I get to  work cutting a firebreak. I worry  hard and then what every firefighter fears, happens. The wind changes. Now the fire is coming straight for me and it’s moving fast! I have to get out of here! I ran for a safe spot where the fire had already burned the  ground. My heavy clothing slows me down. I had fun. The other smokejumpers are running ahead of me. The fire is now licking my heels. Will I get there  before the fire gets me? Then I hear a helicopter above. Will it have a monsoon bucket? Will it drop its load in time? 

Every Home Should Have A Dog

People think that dogs make them happier, but that is not necessarily the case. 

I think that dog owners should look after their dogs because they are special.   

I think that dogs should have a home because they are very cute and they need love. 

I believe that dogs are very important and you should take care of them.

People love dogs because they can protect your family and your home. 

On my holiday I went to the Cook Islands with my family .

We  had fun in the Cook Islands.  My family and I went on the boat and I went in the sea with my family and my sister was scared. 

Then we went to the pools,  after the pools, we went to the new park and my sister saw her friend. 

First  I went to Cook Islands, then I  went on the boat and I jumped into the sea and I saw some fishes.  Then we went to have something to eat.  

Secondly  we went to the pools. I jumped off the wall,  it was so high.  Me and my sister jumped off the wall at the same time 

Lastly I went to the new park, me and my brother went on the Swing.  I went so high like a Monkey  

 I like  the Cook Islands because it was so much fun in the boat.and  I had such a wonderful holiday.
