Tiger

Glowing amber eyes

Rippling muscles 

Silent like a ghost

Razor sharp teeth

A description of flame and coal

Paws like saucers

Knowledgeable eyes
Graceful but deadly movements

Roaring, growling and purring

Powerful legs and jaws

Fearless.

So who am I? 

I am The Tiger.



 

Candy land

Amelia's candy land.

Grape sticks, banana splitz.
Gobstopper, lemon popper
Lollipops, cinnamon drops

Peppermint creams, honey dreams.

Ginger yum, goldmine gum

Humbugs, coconut slugs.

Licorice wheels, toffee steel

These are just some of the lollies that would be in my candy land. And yes, I do have a big imagination.

swimming sports

Today was swimming sports. It wasn't the best day for swimming sports. The sun was hiding behind clouds of light grey, and only peeped out every so often. There was no rain, (apart from my friend Rain of course!), but I could still tell that the sky was preparing a tremendous thunderstorm for the weekend. I guess we won't be going to the luge! We all sat there, under our blue, red, green or yellow gazebos. Most of us had dripping hair from our last race, but there was still a fair percentage of kids who's race had not been called out yet. The pool did not look that inviting either. It was a dark blue with white paint flakes swirling around like dainty ballerinas. And, it was COLD.

The history of hamburgers



Hamburgers first appeared in the 19th or early 20th century in America.The traditional hamburger is only two pieces of bread, with some beef and lettuce in the middle. Today's hamburgers are more accessorized, with onions, ketchup and sliced pickles. Hamburger are now considered culinary items in the united states, along with fried chicken and apple pie. You are probably asking, "Why hamburger when it is made of beef?" Well, when it says ham, it has nothing to do with the ham we eat! Here is how the name developed! When a group of Germans traveled to Asia, they noticed how the locals put their meat in between their saddle, so the beef would be softened for later consumption. The Germans bought the idea back to their home, in Hamburg. From there on it was called Hamburgs meat. When German immigrants in America told the Americans their recipe, the Americans changed it into hamburgers, with the idea that the bread would be the saddle, squashing the meat in the middle!  Even though this is a VERY random topic, I am sure you have learnt something today, and if that is true, then my work is done!

jet skiing

The frigid water nips at my toes. The brightly coloured biscuit bobs in the shallow waters. Time to go. I clip the rope to my jet ski, and tell dad to go slow, for my friend Georgia. He didn't hear. We jump in. This is going to be a wild ride! Dad pulls out of the wharf, towards the centre of the lake. and from there on, it was crazy. We whizzed about, bouncing on the wake. SPLASH! We go over a massive wave. my stomach flipped like an over sized pancake.  I am gripping on so hard, my finger are going white!!! White spray splashes our faces as I start to feel the beginning of chapped lips. My lips are blue and spread in a big grin, as we head back to shore.
