**Washed Out to Sea - By John**
"There, not far away was the wave of all waves. At least 25metres high and rising, I turned around and got ready to take it. As it got closer I could feel its power. I lurched forward and upward, the wind was in my hair. Then it happened, my foot slipped, I faulted, I was rushed under water. I struggled for breath, my board slammed into my head, everything went black..." To read more click here [|Washed Out To Sea.doc]



Topic 1 Friends and Family



By Chelsea
 * __A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed__**

Kate wasn't speaking to Sue While Lou was rowing a canoe And Wendy had the flu.

On teh weekend they had a fight And though Wendy was sick she still bit like a mite Kate snuck up and sprayed us with water Then she found her lucky quarter.

After that we went and sat Back to back they didn't talk And then 'achu' Wendy flew And they all cheered.

When she came back down They still had a frown so then she hired a clown but he was in town.

They headed to the show But the show was really slow But we thought we should get low Before we go.

**FRIENDSHIP** By Harriette

Friendship is like a flower bed ready to bloom but can also wither in the sun. Friendship is like the wind that just passes you by but then can hit like a punch to the nose. Friendship is love like a while petalled rose but then it is hate like a troll waiting in the woods for its bait. Friendship is academic and helps you to the end but can lead you to the end with nothing but shame and misery. Friendship is a light bulb that gets turned off and it is never again but a bulb has a warranty that you can replace so it lasts forever and never dies out. Friendship is a green lawn but across the road it's brown.

When they were laid in the ground they lit up all the flowers around which I could see when we walked away. I now know that they loved each other.

__FRIENDS__ By Julian A friend is someone who does not pretend to be rich or royal, but damn they're loyal. They don't come at a price, and they'll always be nice. They will always be generous, and occasionally humorous.

They may be hard to find but nevermind because a true friend is one of a kind.

__'I get by with a little help from my friends'__ By Jalia

Friends are there when you need them, just like a flower needs a stem.

They are there when you're sad and down, they fool around and act like a clown.

Friday ends with a ding of the bell. without friends life would be a living hell.

Friends will be there to catch you when you fall, some days it feels like crashing into a wall.

Friends are the best thing in the spheres, friendship is the word I hear.
