The Lighthouse

Off the coast of Scotland there is a lonely soul sitting on a rock as it stares in despair as ships pass.  Abandoned, isolated, colourless almost castle like, this is the old lighthouse.  Many years ago it had a purpose but now it sits with waves crashing against it.  Out in the distance big black clouds are rolling in as the storm approaches massive waves batter the bland worn down lighthouse.  The old bricks used are slimy and damp as age takes its toll.  Nowadays it sits on its rock as a monument of Scotland.

On monday we went to the master's house. I loved the flavors and textures. One day I will go back with my family because it is so good. My favourite piece of food was the prawn dumpling and I look forward to going there again. We went with two other classes 8CH and 8LH. I sat next to Ben and Amren with Mr Mckay at the head of the table.

Once upon a time there was a man called Frank.  As a kid he wanted to be involved with trains.  The only problem about that was that to be a train driver you had to have good eyesight but wearing glasses didn’t and help his chances. The age of 33 he got a job as someone who cleans train tracks. He failed his final test due to his eyesight. One day while he was working suddenly a train came out from nowhere and ran him over. Sadly he died on the spot.

The end.

This is the basic paper plane that we started with. It doesn't fly very well it just twists and flips. After this we made this plane better until we got Tank 1 as we call it.
