Dear Volcano by James

Why does your firey roar shriek across the lands?
Why does your molten lava flood and sear through the homes of inoccent people?
Why do you use all of your rage to spit out your flaming rocks of death?

War and Peace

War 

It smells like gunpowder

It sounds like gun shots

It feels like everything is turning grey

It looks like a raging fire

It lives in an abandoned field

Peace 

It smells like flowers blooming in spring air

It tastes like a cold drink on a summers day

It sounds like cheers of happiness

It feels like a soft, fluffy pillow

It looks like tears of joy

It lives in my heart

                                                                     Part 3
It was getting dark so i closed my door and started waiting for morning. It was the worst night I've ever had, I couldr zombie moans and creepers hissing all night. So i decided to get out of this place. There were to many mobs spawners around here. I was walking and walking, and walking. Then I found a desert. I was starting to starve. And then I saw a desert temple.  I went in there. I broke the pressure plate so I dont step on it and die, because I knew that there was TNT under it. So I looked in the 1st chest and I found 18 bones and 4 golden ingots. Now I can craft golden boots. YAY!!! I opened the 2nd chest and I found 1 iron ingot and 12 cooked porkchops. In the 3rd chest I found 9 iron ingots and a golden apple. I opened the last chest and I found 5 diamonds and 3 bones. I heard steps behind me. I turned around.

Dragon attack

"Whoosh" a gust of misty air licked my forid."Boom!" What was that ghastly noise. I turn around and I get the fright of my life,dragons are attacking;I sprinted the leaves groaned at every step I took."Whizz" a fire ball shot through the air at great speed,and when it hit the soft ground the trees caught flames like a deadly disease."Roar!" A dragon has spotted me with its eagle eye,I thought I was up for sudden death;The terrible dragon had shiny light green scales,that could probably blind you in one look;"Gulp" the second I sighted the dragons mouth I felt paralyzed in fear,the dragon's teeth were a big as menhirs and as sharpas machetes."Whizz" "Whizz" another 2 fire balls sail through the air,1goes astray, but alas I get hit by the second.My skin is screaming with pain.I take my last final breath then all life has drained from me and I take my final stand at the dragon's nest as supper.

How Slime teleported to Minecraft and was defeated by Steve (Part 2)

I couldn't stop crying. I couldn't get back to my family,my house,world. It started getting cold so I started getting wood and making wooden planks. I knew that the 1st thing to make, is a house. Then I had to make a crafting table to make a door and some wooden tools. Then I went out of my house to take a look around. I was in the snow biome.So I grabbed out my shovel and started making a stairway down into the ground.The only stuff that I found was stone and 11 pieces of coal. I went back to my house and make some torches. I didn't wanna kill sheep for wool so I wanted to find to iron first to make shears.  To be continued from Part 3.

A Poem of Love and Hate

Love

Love is a brilliant hot pink

It smells like hot cocoa on a cold day

It tatses like melted marshmallows

Love sounds like a rooster crowing

It feels like a warm room in winter

It looks like snow falling gently on to the ice

Love lives in someones heart!

 

Hate

Hate is a rough navy blue

It smells like revenge brewing up

It tastes like burnt pikelets

Hate sounds like bones clicking

It feels like mushy peas in my hands

It looks like an angry wilderbeast

Hate lives alone in a box!

Where in the World is Mrs McGhie Day 3

Hi Room 20

Today we took Ronan to the Tower of London - which is not just one tower but lots and lots of towers and buildings. Its name comes from the original tower (known as the White Tower) that was built by William the Conqueror almost 1000 years ago.

There were LOTS of people there and some areas were very crowded. Most of the buildings were very old and had big, thick stone walls. Ronan measured a couple and estimated that they'd be about 1.5m thick!

We walked up and down hundreds of steps. My mum and Ronan decided to sit down for a while and have a little rest.

We looked at the ravens who were very hot so weren't interested in doing much apart from sitting in the shade. If you are keen you could research the legend of the Tower ravens and find out why they are so special.

Ronan and I had our photo taken with a Beef Eater - they are special soldiers who work at the Tower. You might like to see what you can find out about them too.

Did you know that the tower used to house a menagerie (like a little zoo collection) of animals such as: a polar bear, baboons, lions, leopards and even an elephant! The elephant was given to the inhabitants if the tower in 1255. I was also horrified to hear the polar bear had had a long rope attached to his leg so he could go fishing in the Thames.

Have a super Market Day tomorrow.

From Mrs McGhie and Ronan.

Where in the World is Mrs McGhie Day 2

Hi Room 20

I had another busy day today. We started our morning with a bus tour around London central city to help us get familiar with where things are. 

We spent a few minutes visiting Trafalgar Square where we got to see Nelson's Column and the ENORMOUS lions at the bottom. You might like to find out who Admiral Lord Nelson was and why he is so important. 

There were a few pigeons at Trafalgar Square but not as many as there used to be. Apparently they used to make a huge mess all over the place so these days they have a trained hawk that gets released to fly around the square and scare the pigeons away.

The next thing we were lucky enough to do was to visit the Household Cavalry - these are some of the soldiers on horseback who guard the Queen and the royal family. We got to see the horses in the stable and some of the heavy uniforms the soldiers wear. 

They had some old uniforms from almost 200 years ago there as well. Some of the hats from that time looked like the ones in The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins! A couple of them had such large plumes that they were over 2 feet tall!

Ronan and I had our photo taken outside the Household Cavalry building with our fabulous tour guide, Maggie. She carried a big pink umbrella over her head every where we went so that we could all find her and follow her easily. Maggie was really impressed that Kirsty made Ronan - that's what we were chatting about when the photo was taken.

We also got to go to Buckingham Palace and watch the Changing of the Guard, which was really cool. My mum and I were really close to the road and had a great view. There were literally 1 000s of people there. 

We had a wee rest underneath the London Eye. It is HUGE! Ronan insisted on having his photo taken with the Eye.

We walked past an M&M store that had delicious chocolaty smells wafting out the doors and into the street. I thought several of you would love the store as it was enormous! We didn't go in though because we were in a hurry to get somewhere else.

Everywhere we go there are these bike racks full of bicycles that you can pop a coin into a rent for a while. I thought this was a good idea.

One interesting fact I learnt today is that the UK emergency number is no longer 999, it's 101 so that it is the same as the rest of Europe.

I hope you are all working hard.

Bye for now.

Mrs McGhie and Ronan.

Where in the World is Mrs McGhie - Day 1

Hi Room 20

Ronan and I have arrived safely in London. Ronan wasn't too pleased to have been in my suitcase for the whole trip. 

We flew over all sorts of interesting places such as Afghanistan, Poland and Germany. The plane was cruising at 40 000 feet and the outside temperature was -47 degrees Fahrenheit - see if you can find out what those are in metres and degrees Celsius. 

We arrived here in the late afternoon, it would have been 3:00am your time.

Tonight my mum and I went for a walk along the River Thames, which is beside our hotel. We saw the clock tower where Big Ben is

the London Eye

The Houses of Parliament 

and Westminster Abbey ( I'll put photos up of this later as they are on my proper camera and not my phone).

Hope you are all working hard.

Mrs McGhie

Zombie takeover part 2

We looked all around and found a piece of barbed wire we made a grappling hook and hooked James.  We were scared. Luckily the sun came up again.  We were safe again .We used every thing we could. We made some weapons. Only I got one.
