This is a picture of chinese dinning day.We had a lot of fun trying slightly disturbing looking food

and laughing at people who pulled faces at others when they tried food.

I really enjoyed eating and having a good time with my friends/such as george Reeves who got hot tea on his number ones!/and I would like to thank Mrs Turner for being a

great chinese teacher and host.The food at the restaurant was great even though some of it was a bit not for my taste.We had prawn dumplings ,chicken feet ,and steamed bread.

Once again I would like to thank Mrs Turner and the bus driver for organising this wonderful 

day out.

The best prayer!

Dear god. Let us pray for all those competing in the 2016 Rio olympics.

Pray that every athlete has a safe trip and overcome the challenges of being an olympian.

Pray that they all play and compete well even if they do not win.

We hope that all athletes have courage and perseverance through this time

AMEN.  

My biography on Albit Einstein

Albert Einstein

Albit Einstein was born in March 14 1819 in Ulm Germany.He grew up in munich where he obtained his early education.Strangely some of his teachers thought he was mentally handicapped because he could not speak fluently by the age of nine.

Education

Albert was fascinated by the laws nature and studied the way a force made the needle of a compass turn.He loved the sense of wonder he got when he watched it.

He had been playing the violin from the age of 6 and continued to play throughout his life.

Albert Einstein started to get into geometry and he mastered

calculus a higher form of mathematics which was the start of his greatness.

The rest of his career

Albit studied thermodynamics and that is what made the deepest impression on him.From 1902 to 1904 he reworked the foundations of thermodynamics and the statistical mechanics[The study of forces and their effect on matter] which formed the immediate background to his revolutionary papers of 1905.

Albit carried on to be one of the greatest scientist that the world has ever seen.

On april 1955 albit einstein died

Did you know that albert came up with E=mc2 which means energy equals mass times the speed of light

Da Vinci ad

Leonardo Da Vinci's

Tank

Leonardo Da Vinci was well ahead of his time and came up with some ideas that were just starting to think about.One of those famous plans was Leonardo's greatest war machien a wooden tank.The tank had a hard covering that had strips of metal in.The covering was shaped like a turtle shell so it would deflect bullits also it made the whole machien better and hardier.

Inside the tank there were four large wheels that were connected by cogs and gears that were attached to large handles that were operated by four strong men.

Leonardo's tank to the tanks we see today how have they evolved and what major changes that have happened.

The history of the tank started in world war 1 where armoured all terrain fighting vehicles were first deployed as a fighting response to the trench warfare ushering a new age of ground warfare.By the 2 world war tanks were very popular and played a big part in the war.

Those tanks are now the backbone of what we see today and even now we see how far they have come in simple things that have shaped the tank into a deadly weapon.

One of those things was the tracks for Leonardo Da Vinci's had wheels but now there are camo tanks rolling around on huge tracks.

Here are some models of modern day tanks.

These are some of the differences between the tank down below and the one right here.

* Tracks

*Longer barrels

*Heaver fire\does more damage

*Heat sensors

*Speed

Here is the tank that was first sent to war.

These are some of the parts that this tank has.

Lightning writing

Eye of the storm

Crack!!! Thunder crashes and lightning sizzles my beard inside my scarf.   As I struggle to keep a grip on the steering wheel, the storm over powers me and knocks me back.  My dragon wimpers to me from his chains.

Suddenly I knew that whatever was on the other side of that portal, I was going to find out.  I knew I would have to let my one and only companion Darvog out of his chains so if there is death on the other side of the pulsing portal he at least he would have a chance at life.  As I came over to him he looked up at me with a mixture of fear and questioning. Tears clogged up my eyes as I undid  his chains. And then after one more final roar,  he flew off above the flashing clouds.

Then I knew how this was going to end,  I the aviator was going to die. One last walk back to the cabin and into my metal pipe steampunk chair and I slowly watched as the the light green pulsing portal was the only thing I cloud I could see.

KA! BOOM!

Blinding light filled my eyes and then…..Blue! Blue as the sea skys. And green rolling feilds streaching as far as the eye could see.I was roung It was not death on the other side it was the opisite of death this the unworldly place was bloming with life.But still a great deep hole was in my heart.I still thought back to when I was deep in the eye of the storm and I unlocked the chains for Darvog and let him losse into the open storm to make his way in life.Sundly an ear spliting roar shook the skys and from high in some nearby mountens.Joy leaped in to my heart because I new that roar!

Darvog! had somhow come though the portal after me.As the black speck came closer and closer I new that I would have a great life in this new land with my old compainen.

PS I could not stop writing this story!!! I think that I was being mind controlled by my teacher!!!  

Short story

Ping! The bb bullet races past me and hits the window. I quickly flap my wings to dodge it, trying to fly down the hall to get away from my cruel owner. Suddenly another shot echoes out and everything goes black! My name is William. William Gold Wings to be exact. But you can just call me Will for short. I’m not one of those ugly two legged types or the furry four legged type either. I’m a Indian ringneck and here’s my story that might just shock you.

I woke up in agony from the second shot. The pellet had got me in the crook of my wing. I wiggled the tip of my wing and stretched it out. A shot of pain macerates my arm and I gave a low moan of agony as my wing flopped on to the wood surface. I looked around the room and noticed the whole house was peaceful. My owner must be out with his gang. Finally I could rest and have a break from cruelty.

Without warning, the eerie silence was broken by a sharp tapping sound from the window. It stopped then started up again. Strange. Sometimes the neighbours cat comes over and scratches at the window but this time it was rapid short taps not a screeching sound. I hopped down to the window from my position on top of the dresser and looked out. Nothing. I turned around and then all of a sudden the window popped open and a blast of fresh air nearly knocked me off my feet. I squawked and turned back to the window and looked out. BOO!!! A hawk jumped up onto the window sill. I had a second to think. Oh no! and the world once again falls into blackness. I really need to toughen up.

Coming back to reality, a pair of inquisitive eyes looked down at me from a long beak. I  I flattened myself against the wall.

“Hello mate!”

Before me stood a huge hawk with a funny expression in his eyes as he peered at me. I flattened myself to the wood frame of the window and stutted at him.

“Please don’t hurt me.”

“Did you think I was going to hurt you” he boomed with a hurt expression.

“Well um” I stutted, “you are sort of large and don’t you kind of ...eat our kind in the wild.

“Oh! that’s only 99% of our kind. I ‘m not like that at all. I spotted you through the window when I was flying over.You were being shot at.”

“Right” I said and “Why should I trust you?”

Because he said in a lower voice,

“I will help you escape!”

“What” I squawked! “I have to mend my wings to do that.”

“I’ll help you fly” he said. “You can ride on my back.”

I thought of the life of cruelty and then for the chance for freedom. I grabbed at the opportunity.

“Deal” I squawked!

“Hop on.”

I jumped on his back and hung my good wing around his neck. As the hawk spread out his wings, a feeling of adrenaline filled me and finally lifted out into the sea of azure blue.

Fire stone

As I slowly walked up the icy mountain path a blizzard howled and tore at me trying ever trying to pull me from the rocky path and to my doom. Icicles hanging off my armor as I shuddered onwards. Thunder and lightning shattered the sky like a sledgehammer on glass. As I hoisted myself over the last ledge a sheer cliff appeared in front of me with a gaping cave mouth

Even in the below 0 temperature smoke poured out of the cave entrance and bellowed out into the howling wind. Deep rumbles emanated from within the cave deeps and the earth shook as if it was trying rid itself of a parasite. As I walked down into the cave a light started to glow up ahead and it started to get really hot. Steam curled on the floor where ice had melted and the water had evaporated. The heat intensified as I rounded a bend and before me was a hurge

cave with an equally huge lava lake in the middle of it, and far across the other wall curled up on a high cleft the very fiery beast I had searched for over 154 years Atomonoms!

We had first encountered years and years ago when I was just a simple hunter and had a happy

family. I was out hunting when a roar shook the sky as the gods themselves were thundering down and as I looked up a great red beast spurring fire from its mouth was heading for our house.

With my bow at the ready I raced after it cold fear crawling up my throat just as my wife's scream split the air!

As sprinted to my home worry was etched on my face and fear draped over me like a blanket.

As I appeared out of the undergrowth a horrific sight greeted my eyes. Our barn and home was filled with flames ,and as I scrambled in the through to our yard I howled to the moon and stars, as

scattered across courtyard was my dead wife and child .

After all those years of hunting I'd finally found out what I was looking for…...Atomos the dragon.

My relic armor that I'd found at a skeleton half way up the mountain, clacked against the floor,The snoring stopped! WHO DARES ENTER MY CAVE ATOMOS BOOMED!

I unslung my bow from my shoulders and stepped across to a rocky outcrop not far from the cleft. OH ALRIGHT THEN IF HIDE AND SEEK IS WHAT YOU WANT TO PLAY
I OBLIGE! With a great boom Atomos leapt off the cleft and crashed to the floor.COME OUT LITTLE RABBIT! I'M FEELING PECKISH. The dragon swung his tail and the stone outcrop next to me got obliterated. My body's instincts kicked into action. Like a jack in a box I popped up drew my bow and fired.

Ting!The arrow hit the scale part of his shoulder and deflected off into the lava. For a moment all was still. A growl emanated from atomos throat and he turned towards me.

Something in mind just simply said. Oh bother, That really went well! A thought stuck my head,maybe I should be running right now! Shattering it I gassed it as fast as I could go in amor towards the cave mouth.With a roar atomos set after me and as I turned and sprinted up the tunnel he let of a raging torrent of flames scorching my back giving of a smell of sulphur. I made it to the surface and started to climb even further up the mountain. It was hard going but knowing that there was a hungry dragon below gives anyone the energy. Finally I reached the peak and looked down. It was peaceful up here above the clouds, at least till the dragon emerged.

It flapped up towards me on powerful wings fire pouring out of its maw.My slightly singed hair blew across my face and with nowhere to run I sepped arond bow in hand ready for the fight of my life. Suddenly I felt it.The whole mountain had gone quit and even at atmos looked confused.

BOOM!Galeforss winds hit the mounten like a slege hammer on rock.It flatend me to the rock face mean while the was a giant crash as atonmos crumpled agasnst a wall of rock and brock his wing not far below me.Somehow I new this was going to be the only time is was going to able to strick aganst this beast so I jamed my feet in a gap between two large rocks and turned and made the best pot shot I ever done and emagied!

Taking extream care I pulled the arrow back to full draw took a deep breath and releashed.Like a slow mo missial it arched down just as the dragon shook itself and pointing it head up and emanating a growl.The fates must of smiled down at me because if Atonmos looked up he showed his one weak spot his eyes and reslishation dawend in his face as it went staright into left hand eye penatrating the socetet and the brain.With a final roar that shook the sky itself he tumbled backwards over the perapice and to his doom trailing fire all the way down!

After all those years I had my revenge even if I nearly died on the way.Even the mountains seemed to celebrate by echoing atomos final roar all around me.

Joy that I hadn't felt in years came to me in a rush and I gave a deep sigh.

My family had been avenged but still magic and potions could not help me now.

The wind had broken my legs and i knew i would not be able to make down the mountain.

The beast that had killed my wife was gone and I will finally see her again.

So with a smile on his face Will Saunders once a simple man now the hero that had killed the fiery atomos stepped over the edge of the precipice and back to his wife a family.
