My Holiday At Magnetic Island


On Easter Saturday I was getting ready to go to Magnetic island and I was so excited I just could not wait! I had finished packing and I hopped into the car.
 When we got to the place we saw that the boat had not arrived so I asked my mum if I  could get my Ipod out of the boot and she said "No!" After we saw the boat coming and I asked my mum when we get on the ferry, " Can I get my Ipod out" and she said "Okay!"
 It was our turn to get on the ferry and for the very first time my mum allowed us to stay in the car. I liked that idea because I would be able to sing the ABBA songs on my Ipod in the car. When 10-20 minutes were gone we were at Magnetic Island!
 My friend was waiting for me at the apartment we were staying at (they did not stay at the apartment). So while my dad ran in to get the keys I went with my friend to his house it had a beautiful garden and it had a bath tub outside! Finally it was time for lunch I had 2 sausage rolls with barbecue sauce and after lunch my friend and I asked if we could go to this cool shop that we saw and she said ''Yes''. We were at the shop when I asked the lady "How much is that ball?" she said,"8 dollars and 30 cents", so I asked my mum if I could have it and she said "Just because we are on holidays, yes!''.
 The third thing we did was go to our house in the apartment it was a awesome place to stay I asked my friend "Where should I put this ball?" he said "Next to your bed" so I listened to to him and put it next to the bed. Then we watched a DVD and then went to bed. 
The next day I woke up and mummy was in the shower already she did say we were going to Horse Shoe bay early in the morning so I got dressed as quick as a flash and we were on our way to Horse Shoe bay. I saw my friend and my friend and I picked a good spot to sit. The first thing I knew was my friend getting his swimmers on so I got mine on too. Next I went to the stinger net and could stand on flat feet at the end of it!. After I said to him "Do you want to get out now?" "Yes!"he said so we got out and asked if we could have morning tea. The parents said "Yes"and we had some water melon, grapes and strawberries. It was delicious. 
Then I asked if we could get something from the shop and my Mum said "Yes". So I got a killer python and my friend got double drops. When it was lunch time I was allowed to go  on the water sports I begged to go on the two person tube but we were not allowed. We said faster the whole way and the driver went a little bit faster . We went into the stinger net to play but the tide was high. The first thing I recognised was my school friend. I asked him, "Do you want to play volley ball with us," "Yes" he said. 
So my friend  and I were on a team and my school friend and my dad were on a team and the game began. It was a hard and my team lost! When it was time to go I said good bye to my friend and went to the apartment. Another day was gone and three more days left. The next day we went to IGA early in the morning and mummy got a DVD for us called Scooby-Doo And the Goblin King and it was scary. 
We went to Florence Bay and went snorkeling on the reef. We saw lots of fish and one sting ray went under me. It was fun to see such amazing sights. Next we went to Alma Bay and we swam in the massive waves. 
On the last day we went to Horse Shoe Bay and stayed 
there the whole day and this time my mum allowed us to go on the two person tube. It was a great last day on Magnetic Island and we were sad and happy to go because we missed our dogs. It was the best holiday ever!

Hermit crabs


Hermit crabs eat bread crumbs, shredded coconut, apples and other varieties of fruit. Hermit crabs live on beaches and the pet shop but hermit crabs  are really rare to find at the beach because it looks like an ordinary shell when you see it. Hermit crabs are really in danger because people, cars, trucks and buses are big threats to Hermit crabs. The buses, cars and trucks run over the hermit crabs and people just throw them into the sea. Did you know that the Hermit crabs claw is so strong that it can break through an egg in about 25 seconds flat and so strong that when a Hermit crab holds onto a newspaper it is nearly impossible to take it off without ripping the newspaper.

The end of Term 1 2009

I learnt a lot of things in term 1.I learnt all about all types of bulling. I also learnt about australian animals like how platypuses have venom and how they breed. I also learnt that Townsville is a lot different than in the olden days and how to type quickly. I really enjoyed playing on the computers and also enjoyed the story 'Boy Overboard" and "Something weird about Mr Foster". I found the blogs interesting and the games are a better way to learn if you love computers. I found listening a bit hard because I kept getting mixed up in everything and I found SOSE really difficult. I'm trying to improve my listening skills and my singing voice.. Next term I want to be student of the week and be the quickest typer in the class. Maybe term 2 will be better than term 1 and I'm going to not be as slow as I am. I have had a great time in term 1.
