Prom
On 27th November 2013 there is a Mokoia Intermediate school prom. I am going to wear some black dress pants, black dress top, black slip on shoes and a yellow tie. My favourite dance is Cotton Eye Joe. I am helping with the prom because I am on the student council and we all vote for prom King, Queen, Prince and Princess.

My Dream Home
My bedroom. This glorious room has a huge king sized bed hanging from the roof in the shape and colours of my favourite ball-a soccer ball. To get up onto the bed you have to climb up an obstacle course. The far side of the wall is made of glass and I can see my 50sqm fish tank. My walls are also covered in Chelsea symbols (Chelsea is a soccer team). So if you exit my room and go to the left you will see the rest of the amazing house.Thursday, 7 November 2013

Enemies
Komodo dragons are surprisingly their own enemies! They fight each other over food or for territory. Once the winner has defeated his opponent they will eat the loser.

Komodo dragons can do and have some pretty amazing things. Their mouth is deadlier than a cobras venom. They have sixty teeth and can run up to 15kph. There saliva has 50-80 different types of bacteria including one of the most deadliest in the world, called E coli! If a komodo dragon bites you will die of infection within 30-60 minutes.

Dreams of having super powers
Wants to win lotto
Who wonders if aliens will ever
come to this planet?
Who fears that my family will turn into
robots and make me eat vegetables
Who is afraid of wasps
Who likes spiders, bugs and cute girls
Who believes aliens are real
Who loves my family
Who plans to become an author and own a
pool filled with sea life
I believe this will all come true.
