A letter to my bestfriend:Kitahna

To:Kitahna

From: Your bestie

I like the way that I can smile at you and you will know exactly what I am thinking.I really can't find the words that are strong enough to express how much you mean to me. I want to thank you for all the times you have been there for me throughout the past year. I want you to know how much you mean to me and how much I need you. Not all friends stand by you when you go through your darkest times in your life but you have and I appreciate that so much. You’re my best friend, the person that I always turn to when I am in need a shoulder to cry on when in need and somebody to hug just when I want to. You most probably already know this but true friends are hard to find that's why I'm so glad to have you. Sometimes, you can be a pain in the butt but I still love you.A true friend is someone who stands by your side, a true friend is who you are and I love you so much for that. You’re  special to me, you’re someone who I can never replace. I love you so much words cannot explain.  

We have both had our ups and downs but throughout it all we both had each other. I just want you to know that If something bad ever happens in your life I'll be there for you always. I love you to the moon and back. I look up to you because you’re strong, caring, smart and sometimes lazy but that's what makes you you. I can't imagine going through a single day without hearing your voice or seeing your smile. I dont think that I would ever find someone as special as you to replace you with. Just remember, if we get caught breaking the law you act deaf and I don’t speak English okay? But just remember, if you’re alone I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry I'll be your shoulder, if you want to hug I'll be your pillow,  if you need to be happy, I'll be your smile but anytime you need a friend I'll just be me xx.Friends can say that they love you but really they are fake but a friend will calm you down when you are angry but me as your best friend will skip with you down the road with a baseball bat singing someones gonna get it.And that's why you love me and I love you.

Writing:by Marara

It was a bright Saturday afternoon. I was sitting lazily on the lazy boy when mum yelled “we're going to the pools”. I excitedly jumped off the sofa and ran to get ready.

When I was getting ready Gabriel burst into my room and yelled “we’re leaving soon”. I quickly stuffed in my togs and towel then rushed to the car as fast as lightning.On the way to the pools we went past a long bridge, shops that sold toys and lollies, and went past trees that looked like they were touching the sky. As i wound down the window I heard the birds chirping it was so peaceful that i hadn't released we had reached our destination.

When we reached our destination, I bolted out the car door like a horse and ran straight to the pool door. When everyone else had scrambled out the door they all  raced up to meet me.I raced inside and mum paid for us  to get in. I raced into the changing room and got dressed in record time then went for  swim.

When I jumped into the pool it was ice-cold. I was thinking about hopping out when I saw Gabriel Diving in so I stayed In. After a few minutes, it  started to get warm. So i dived in head first and started swimming like a fish. Finally mum called us up for lunch.For lunch we had hot crispy chips, they were delicious because I hadn’t eaten in a long time we also had ice-cold drinks they were so cold that water was dripping off the side. They were so nice that as soon as i smelt it i was drooling. When we were finished Gabriel and I went for a little swim because we had to leave soon.

At 4:00 clock mum called us up and we packed up and headed home. That day was the best day ever because I hadn’t been to the pools in a long time.Where haven't you been to in a long time?

How a butterfly is formed

How a butterfly is formed?

Do u know how a butterfly is formed?. I will provide you with many facts as to how these beautiful creatures are formed.  

The butterfly starts its life as an round, oval, cylindrical egg. The butterfly’s shape depends on the type of butterfly that laid the egg. The butterfly lays its eggs on the bottom of the leaf so that they dont get eaten by a predator.

The butterfly chooses the leaf to lay its eggs on. It chooses the leaf that the caterpillar will be able to eat when it hatches. If it chooses a leaf That the caterpillar can’t eat it will die.

After 10 to 14 day the egg will hatch into a caterpillar.The egg will only hatch in warm climates.When the caterpillar finally hatches it pumps blood into its wings. When it turns into a butterfly it is called metamorphosis.

In conclusion I trust that i have provided you with many reasons as to how a butterfly is formed.
