Softball Writing Sample


After we did some energetic jump jam and had some breakfast, we then had to get changed into our uniform to get ready to head off to Rosedale park for our softball Championship. Miss Vaafusuanga then called us into the hall to get together and sort ourselves out. I was with Kingston P and his Mum in Miss V's car and we were just about to leave.

We hopped on the motorway to head towards upper highway 18. As we were going off the off ramp we saw signs that said ROSEDALE PARK in big letters so we followed the arrows to the awesome park. When we got there we saw all of the other teams which were competing in the tournament.

Well when we arrived at the big field we had to have a meeting with the lady that was in charge. She had mentioned all of the rules and if something bad had gone wrong to tell her. We then had to head off to the pitch for our first game against a team named Sommerville.

While we were playing them they just kept getting runs, one after another and we just got 1 run out of the whole game which I think is terrible. But when we were Versing Mansell which was the second team we versed we thrashed them.

Even though we come 4th I still had an awesome time and I think our whole team did the best that we can do.


Hydroslide Show Not Tell


Foot by foot we climbed the stair case which, lead us in to a dark hole that had a flow of water. As we plunged down the pitch black hole we felt the water rushing against our body. Then there was a light that lead out to a splash of water which went straight into my face. Can you guess what we are talking about???? Well we are not telling.

Marvin Ben Carson

“Yay!! Were going to the Ben Carson lecture” I said to Marvin. The year 5,6,7,8 all rushed like a herd of wild bulls on to the buses that came and went off to the Telstra Clear Pacific Centre. Now it was our turn.

Ben Carson was born in Detroit Michigan, a place where there are quite a lot of gangs. His mother Sonya, dropped out of school in the third grade with very little education and was married at 13 years of age. Unfortunately his parents divorced when Benjamin was only 8 , the boys poor mother had to work 2 sometimes 3 jobs just to provide both of her sons.

Ben and Curtis fell behind in school so all the kids in his class started to call him horrible names such as dummy which caused him to let out all of his temper. One day he was opening his locker when a boy come up to him and tried to close it. Ben’s bad temper caused lots of trouble, one time he punched some body so hard that it caused a 3 meter gash in his head.

One day the teacher came in and showed the class a rock it was a rock that the kids had never seen before. Nobody put their hand up but Ben knew the answer but he wasn’t even confident so he waited for somebody to answer the question. Then Ben put his hand up and everybody was surprised and astonished some of them started to laugh and say.
