Snow Trip Recount (2016)

Snow Trip Recount!

I slowly hobble over to the edge of the steeper slope. The weight of my snowboard is horrendous not to mention the butterflies turning fiercely in my tummy. I could hear the constant drip! drip! from the sneaky waterfall behind me. Rubi suddenly face plants right next to me we were ready, I was ready to snowboard for the very first time.

Rubi and I had pushed of we were steadily gliding down the middle of the slope. All was going very well until disaster struck, we had height a mob of first time skiers forcing us to fall over to come to a sudden halt. My hand became as cold as a freezer as a heap of snow leaked into my sapphire glove. I could see a spinet of blood tickerling down my wrist from me trying to force the latch open on my snowboard so that I could get up.

We were of again speedily zig zagging from side to side I was finally getting the hang of it. The clouds had suddenly scattered causing the scorching sun to heat us up like an oven. I was nearily at the end. I could see Mrs.Hobbs hand shaking terribly as she held up a camera videoing me as I came to a halt right in front of her feet. I was so close I could feel her warm breath smothering over my face. I had done it, I had snowboarded for the very first time.

Friendship Poem (2016)

Friendship poem! 

Oh what delight it is

To have such a loyal friend like you

For giving me the power
In the special way you do.

You lift my spirits
When I'm felling down 
And putting a smile on my dile
So I don't have to wear a frown.

Butterfly Frendship Poem! 28.10.2016

Butterfly Frendship Poem!

Have you ever admired a butterfly

There glamour and grace,

The kind that squat amongst the peach flowers

Looking for a peaceful place.

They flutter through the sky 

The scorching sun against there delicate wings,

Far more dainty than any fly.

I watch them as they hover

And wonder how it could be

That whenever I see these beautiful creatures

Your face comes to me.

You are my best friend

You are always there for me and it never depends.

How? You find the common Factor (a number that can go into the fraction)EX. 20/24 the common factor is 4 because 20 divided by 4 =5 and 24 divided by 4 =6
