Narrative Writing

My dad worked in the Military ever since I was four . My dad only came home every six or even ten months
so whenever something came up for fathers day I wouldn’t be able to give it to him because he would never be
around. I was mocked and shamed on for my dad not being around. 

I’m Ashely and i’m now fifthteen so that makes my dad being in the military for twelve  years. I’m still mocked to
this day for my dad not being around, but I remember what my dad told me before he left he said “ stay strong for
me” so that’s what did for twelve years. 

Last night marked the thirteenth year of him being away, I called my friend because I was sad he wasn’t around.
We were on the call for hours that we both ended up going to sleep at 1am, I had the most memorable dream ever it
so memorable that I felt real. 

The dream I had was about my father coming home after five years of not visiting, it felt so real from that dream
I remember me running up to him and hugging him for 30 minutes I didn’t wanna wake up from the dream I had.
But all good things come to an end, I got woken up for my mum because I was gonna be late for school… I told
her everything and she replied with “I know you miss him sweetie but he will be gone for another two months,
but after school I have a surprise for you”. I said ok mum i’ll be going now. 

When I got to school I told my friend everything but I ended getting into detention for talking in class,
I walked to detention and I saw everyone running around panicking like something was happening.
I panicked but I calmed down slowly because I heard someone shout “STOP PANICKING for the love of god ”. 

After I calmed down all I feel going around my eyes was a pitch black blindfold and all of a sudden
I started being dragged around. I hear nothing but silence but then all of a sudden the blindfold comes off and
it’s itch black someone said “cue the lights”, all I see is a man in a military suite and my mum next to him.
My mum said “I guess the surprise came early”

I screamed and ran up to my dad then I said “I...m-missed y-y-you so much don’t e-ever leave me again”,
He said “I won’t”. I was so happy that he was back that I asked him to come to school with me so I could
spend time with him. My dream finally came true and that’s all the matter’s.

Water safety rules

Do you know the four simple swimming skills you have to learn at school, if not here they are:

Breaststroke

Freestyle

Backstroke

Butterfly

As we all know swimming is compulsory to learn in school going up to college because it could and
can save your life in certain times  Water safety is something you need you now so I have multiple reasons
that are about water safety.

1. If you get caught in a rip and you don’t know what to do just simply  calm down and float on your back until
you end up on shore or when the rip is finished.

2. Weather you fall into the sea from a boat you should calmly swim back to the boat you fell off.

3. Children, if you  want your children to be safe you should always supervise them no matter how far or how
close always make sure you children stay in between the flags  or close to shore.

4. NEVER swim alone especially at night cause you never know what or who is in the water.

5. Free divers can hold there breath for more than 10 minutes.

6.  The oldest stroke in swimming is breaststroke

7. You sweat in pool when you swim. .

8. When you are rock fishing what ever beach you are on be VERY careful especially if you are on
the edged because you don’t know what would happen  you could fall and hit your head anything like
that just be careful.

9. Swimming builds muscle strength and helps maintain a healthy weight, heart and lungs.

10. If you wonder how many times a week you should swim the answer is four days out of five because
swimming is an exercise you  should learn and do constantly. Therefore if you would do this it’s around about
20/30 minutes.

11. If there are humongous waves and you get swept away same thing goes for number 2 just float
on your back until the waves have settled down.

12. Spotting the dangers in and around the water is what to do best before you get in with your children
and warn them what to look and stay away from.

13 Competitive swimming started .in Britain 1830

14. Swimming is important to know because if you are stuck in a difficult position and you  don’t know
what to do swimming would help because you learnt how to swim.

15. When you see someone drowning or struggling from a far it’s best to  find the nearest lifeguard so
he/she can send a rescue team.

16. In New Zealand over 88 people had drowned  in 2017 for not knowing how to swim.

17.Make sure your children are within a arms reach  

18. Swimming  skills will save your life

19 NEVER go far out in sea cause you never know what's out there

20. You can never be fit in one day no, so if you want to lose weight keep on swimming doing exercise

21 .Breathing, it can be hard to breath especially if you have a breathing problem. But  get passed
that all you need to do is take it easy in swimming you don't need to be fast to win you have to have the right
breathing and speed to win.

22. Bluebottle jellyfish is something you don’t see often but need to lookout for it cause it HURTS if you stand on it.

23. Avoid alcohol when swimming with children  

24. Don’t take any rubbish into the ocean because it would become polluted

25. Don’t hyperventilate

26. The very basic thing you need to know is know how to float but it will take  time.

27. Following the water safety rules you are given will save your life

28. Swimming constantly is a good thing to do

29. I would do ¾  laps to be able to get fit

30.   Stay safe

The Never Ending Tunnel of Memories

As Mya awaits her turn to talk about the  maths problem
she takes a long hard glance outside and goes back to when she was a
small little girl,but for some reason she started to cry.

When Mya started crying she thought about many things but
the main reason to why she  was crying is her parents and how they had passed.
She thought back to that one particular night, she bawled her eyes out on her
piece of paper explaining how to solve the problem. Everyone including the teacher
stared at her wondering why she was crying but some people  didn’t show
sympathy to her they just laughed.

Mya was still crying she cried even harder because every small detail she
could remember was horrifying she just wanted it all to stop so she could go
back to the present time.  

Mya’s peer’s started shaking her and when they did her flashbacks started
to disappear and she slowly but surely she calmed down enough for her tears
to stop. Lunch time came and she told her friends what was going through her mind,
her friends gave her a warm hug and that made her forget about everything she thought
about.

Mya dislikes when this happens to her because she feels embarrassed
about it she also doesn't like remembering her past she wants to look ahead
to the  future and focus on the present time. This was apart of what she was telling
her friends.

Mya still wasn’t feeling herself until she laid down on the grass and looked up  
in the sky and saw a paradise she also saw her parents for a split second but then
disappeared she jumped up and ran back to her friends. She Slowly changed.

As everything was coming to a end Mya was starting to be in a mood to where she
started to become herself again Mya just wanted the day to finish so she can  tell
her auntie what happened.

Mya wished this to never happen again because she didn’t want to remember the
time where they had passed she wanted to have happy flashbacks. Mya’s  wish came
true and from there on she was herself.

Topic- what makes best friends special

What makes best friends special for me is they share and create a  special bond between them both. The bond that is shared between them is only for them andno one else and  that makes it really cool because they get to gossip about things without anyone knowing. Another reason to what makes best friends special is keeping secrets between each other. Meaning you tell something to that person like who you like what you don’t like anything like that and it would always stay between you and your amazing best friend. The last reason to what makes best friends special is supporting each other in the choices you or your friend create.It shouldn't matter what choice you make with your friend no matter what they should always be supportive. All of these three  things is what I think to what make best friends special being supportive having a bond and keeping secrets is to what best friends should be. It's also really Hard to find loyal people these days but just remember if these three things appear you  know you can trust them.

Solitary Existence

Date :  6/3/19

Ben! shouted his manager “BEN! YOU HAVE A CONFERENCE MEETING TO GO TO HURRY UP”,
for over six months Ben has been living in the city and in that time he was slowly started to be treated
like this “coming ” he shouted.

When ben was walking out he shrugged and he was sick and tired of living like this he liked it at first
because it kept him busy and on the go now he just wants some time to himself and time for him to rest.
Ben continued on to the conference meeting and after that he had shouted out at his boss “I QUIT, I HAVE
HAD ENOUGH OF THIS DISGUSTING PLACE”
, his boss didn’t care at all.

Months passed ben didn’t know what to do anymore but then ben had an Idea, he realised
that he had saved to by a lovely house on a river in the middle of nowhere. Ben called his mum
and said “MUM!, i’m moving to a house on the river I  bought it today and I was wondering if you wanted
to come with me?” his mother replied with a “sorry but I have to look after the kids maybe i’ll visit you ”.
He was sad but happy because he was moving away from the city to the middle of nowhere.

Ben had travelled miles he was tired but he was nearly there, few hours later ben had arrived and
he was surprised of what it looked like.  Ben couldn’t wait so he swam to the small house on the rock,
Ben screamed “I’M FINALLY HERE ” he was excited to live there.

Finally, Ben moved everything in and slowly he started making it his, he painted the walls made a
bridge towards the surface. Ben was just happy to not be told what to do to not wake up at five in the
morning, his mum visited him once a month and thought it was beautiful, Ben would always invite
someone to talk to him. He Was finally happy to chill out.

Multiplication

                     

Today I was playing a multiplication maths game because I needed to practice them.
 Multiplication is something i’m still a little rusty on so i decided to play a game to test my brain
and it worked !. This multiplication game I was playing I didn’t find it difficult at all it it was just mind
challenging, but in the end I would still need to practice my times tables off by heart so that whenever
I have to use them I won’t need help from anyone.

Maintenance

  

Today I was doing  maintenance for maths and  as you can see I didn’t get
them all right but I also didn't do so bad. If I want to achieve all  of them I will have to learn
my times tables off by heart tobe able to get a better score.

Poem

How would the world end if it was up to me?

Wednesday  March 27th

Tittle: How would the world end if it was up to me

---

I'm the last person on earth with nothing but my old clothes,
I’ve  had a vivid realistic thought go through my head everytime
I fall asleep I think it’s a dream but who knows…. I could be ending the
world with the power i’ve consumed from  beneath the earth itself.

“Wake up, come on get up it’s time for you  to end the world” as my head says,
“i’m awake” I reply,  I have all the power to destroy the world by one click of my
fingers I just don’t know when to use this great power i’ve been given it’s hard to
decide because I want to live but also  there’s absolutely no point because no one
else lives on this earth with me. BOOM! I hear a loud thump from out of nowhere,
I go look and see that something has fallen from out of the sky “I need to  end the
world now”.

It’s been several weeks now and I still can't decide whether or not I  should end
the world so I ask my head what should I do now, muy head replies “You should
end the world now because like you said no one lives  here but you, just end it so
you can be free I mean you want freedom right.” I reply “yes.. but” head says “
not buts just end it already” I replied with “ok” in disbelief.  

I had finnaly ended the world in succeseand nothing was left but space and dust.
