Star Dome Recount Joseph L Presents JPCC

Thursday morning the 9 of May the two oldest classes in the Glenbrae senior school travelled on a bus to go to Stardome. Both classes departed at 11:15 and met Rm 1 and 5 at the Stardome Observatory. We waited for a while outside then we went inside. Mr Andrew lead us into a theatre where there 

were seats that was comfortable as a bean bag.

When we finished in the theatre Mr Andrew gave us a chance to cruise around the place looking at the object's that astronauts in space uses we saw orange and white astronaut suits.

After a while we went in the auditorium it wasn’t that big but it could fit all of us. Mr Andrew showed us a video clip about this astronaut demonstrating how to brush your teeth in space. The second video clip Mr Andrew showed us was with the same person. He was telling us how to poop in space he gave us simple instructions to poop in space. He said that on the toilet there is a belt you wrap around your waist and just poop when they are finished they shoot into the atmosphere so it could burn..

My Holiday Recount Joseph L Presents JPCC

In the holidays I did nothing except eat, drink, watch movies and play video games at home. I didn’t wanted to do anything in the holidays I just wanted to relax at home drink cold drinks and do no house chores. Nothing special happened to me in the holiday.

Most of the times in the holidays I go to pak’n’save buy me chocolate, drinks and lollies because I live near G.I.  The holidays were quite long for me but it 

was still cool at the end of the holidays.

When school was about to start I didn’t want the holidays to end because it was fun for me.

The Greek Gods Joseph L Presents JPCC

THE GREEK GODS

The full moon shone brightly in the night summer sky, stars twinkled like a million fairy lights....

when Jonatas the commander of all spartans was guarding the castle from being harm because the spartan king was celebrating with the villagers because it was the first time they had won the war between sparta and the barbarians. He was watching the sky after five seconds he heard a noise. But after Jonatas just thought it was a safe night there was a loud sound from a horn he knew that tone crash there was an archer aiming for him he quickly remembered what was that sound it was from the barbarian horn he heard it many times in war with the barbarians, when Jonatas turned around he saw a whole army with brutal weapons in their hands

he quickly ran to the bell he rang it triple times and on his way he shouted “Barbarian invasion” twice but as he looked at the army again the barbarian warriors he saw were at the war not that long ago and there was the warriors he killed in battle. Jonatas knew Hades the god of the underworld brought them back to destroy sparta, Hades always hated sparta. Soon the whole army was ready but sparta had already been defeated as he turned around there wasn’t anything left except destroyed buildings and dead people but he knew the king was safe with the other spartans. There were several dead spartans and villagers on the floor with swords stuck on top of their backs and three arrows in front of their heads, they all died from the invasion they did not survive. So that’s when Jonatas got up and started a journey to search for the god of the underworld but he knew it wasn’t going to be easy to get into the underworld.

Paragraph 2

Jonatas was just walking searching and thinking how to access Hades realm but he knew the only way to get in Hades realm is to die. Soon he opened a door that lead him right in a place that was filled with statues that looked scary.
