This concert had all sorts of thing going on, such as, the fashion parade, singing, dancing, there was even a small child from Roselea Public School and there was also a year 7 from Carlingford High named Tae Kim played the Korean Flute especially for us to hear.

In the fashion parade, there were students from different years at Carlingford one by one came marchng up the stairs to the hall stage and showed their traditional clothing to the audience. Some where form India, Scotland, Korea, USA, Chinese and much more.

Next up in the concert were singing, dancing and playing national intsruments. For singing their was a yr 11 guy named John Kim, which is Korean sang a love song while playing the piano, there was also Taiwanese students from the snr year who sang for us by duets.

It was the Monday the 15th May. For our class 7B it was speech day in english.

All of our class mates were talking about the speech we will be having to do, what they are talking about and whos going first and more. My fellow class mates seemed to be all nervous about today. To tell the truth i was really nervous, just thinking that im doing my very first speech in high school gave me goosebumps.

Finally, the bell went to go to roll call class, my friends and I walked up in a grumpy, sad look to B block upstairs. Mr Wong let us in to the classroom, and we all waited patiently sitting down until our names were called out.

Once the bell went for 1st period, we walked down the stairs to B7. Our class sat down on the benches and waited for our english teacher Mr. Oregan.

About 5 minutes later, he came and we walked in to the classroom.

My class mates faces were all down, not even smiling to retrieve their happiness.

The first thing Mr. Oregan did was rip out some paper from a spare paper, then write down the numbers 1 - around 28. Then he threw a ripped paper with a number to each of us.

When i recieved a number i was very proud of it, it wasnt the last one or the first one, it was number 14.

Mitchell who was the one to get the very first number 1 went first. His speech was really good. The first few starters of speechs were really good, until it came to me.

My speech was about Guide Dogs For The Blind. This is how my speech went:

Guide Dogs for the blind

Many of you would know, as you walk around the town you might see people who are disabled or blind, but for the blind people there is no need for them to worry. This is because they could a have a very own guide dog in hand.

Guide Dogs are very special to the blind people, and it only has two breeds that are able to become a guide dog, these are the Labradors and Golden Retrievers. The Labradors are the mainly used dogs for the blind but know a days Golden Retrievers and even standard poodles are in use.

The dogs were first the guide the blind in 1819, when Herr Johann Whilhelm Klein found a foundation for the blind in Vienna. In the late 1916’s Dr. Gerhard Stalling made a school to train dogs to assist the soldiers who had been blinded in the 1^st world war.

After 4 years of work, the newest school was made in USA, and by the 1930’s other schools had been made in Italy and England. This is all how the guide dogs had been started.

When the puppy is around 12 months old, it will start training for two weeks. These two weeks are assessing the puppy on its reaction on other animals and vehicles. If the puppy is not successful, it will work as a companion dog for the people who are disabled. If the puppy is successful, then it will have another hard five months of training.

However, to make a playful puppy into a responsible guide dog takes two years of training, the dog will now wait until it is chosen to go with a suitable owner they need to help. Depending on how much help the dogs; owner needs most dogs have an average of seven years of working and then it is time for them to retire the hard work.

Most of the guide dogs stay as a pet in that family, and live a happy, free life.

All this time for me to make this speech I have learnt so much about Guide Dogs and did think, sometimes dogs are better than human, what do u think?

After this period, my friends and I were talking about how good our speech was, except for me. I was very quiet, thinking in my head, thinking about the number 14. 14, the number I got for my speech. I said to myself, “The number 14 (which was my favourite number) is now my most hated number.

You mightve known that lately on the news people were all worrying about the tragic news that happened in Beaconsville. Two men were in a mine digging, when suddenly the mine fell down ontop of them. But thankfully, they were in a large metal cage which saved them from dieing.

Those two men were stuck in the cage with rocks and dirt all over them from the mine which fell down for almost 14 days and around 1km below the ground.

However they did not tell us how people found out that those two men were saved.

Anyway, other miners were told somehow that two men were trapped in a cage when the mines fell down, so then other miners gathered and started to dig up the fallen rocks.

The relatives, neighbours and family friends were very upset thinking that their very own son, relative or neighbour is stuck down almost 1km underground.

Though, in about 2weeks time, the miners were set free.

In Beaconsville, the two men had a big celebration with their family, relatives, and close neighbours, they had wine, some christian people were praying thanking to God for setting their son out of danger and keeping them in goo condition.

More suprisingly the two miners said, “We’re actually glad that we were stuck in that mine for around 14 days because we’ve gone thinner!”

People laughed with them and had a great time laughing, dancing, and eating in a long time.

One of the miners father said to the camera, “I’m never going to allow my son to go down that mine again, never, ever”

Just think me green.

Everyone is either brown or white or just orangey normal.

But Green?! That wouldnt make any sense at all. But there are some good ways on having green skin colour.

One of the reasons are, just say that you are being chased around by a really dangerous animal, then if we had the normal coloured skin the animal would easily be able to find us, but if we had green skin then we would be able to hide between long grass.

Thats one reason the other is if we were green for playing hide and seek, our world has alot of green around us, then we wouldnt be able to be found easily.

But the bad thing is that green, is sort of a gross colour, unlike light green like mint - chocolate can be really nice but every person has a different colour, it could be like the vomit green.

To me i think our skin right now is the best colour for all human beings.

Green is just not right for us.

My first day of school. it was really scary and nerve racking. I woke up early in the morning, brushed my teeth, did my hair, and went out to the living room to eat breakfast. It was one of the most yummiest foods ever!! Hot boiled rice with a nice hot soup! I seriously never tasted this kind of food before!

After breakfast I brushed my teeth once more and tried on my dress. It was very heavy compared to my summer uniform in Primary School. 3 times heavier that was! I felt my body shrinking down the moment i put that dress on myself.

My mum then put makeup on then off we went down to the garage. I waited outside until my mum drove the car out of the garage. We finally arrived at my school Carlingford!!! I took my first step on to the school grounds and everything felt different. First the school was massive! And there were a lot of stairs.

My mum and I walked through the quadrangle and waited patiently infront of the hall. There we met one of our family friends, Sol. Sol’s mother and Sol herself met each other on the Orientation day.

We were then invited to the hall and we all sat down on the big chairs. I sat down next to Sol. The assembly started, a few people from Carlingford Staff came upstairs and started to talk. They told us how you should behave in class and in normal outside.

Later that day some of the seniors put us on a tour around the school, i was so confused! All the buildings seemed the same, where ever we went the buildings seemed the same to me.

In our little group i met my first unknown friend Melodie, then i met my korean friend Sally.

Us three got along together very well.

At recess my friends Melodie and Sally played with a couple of other friends from a different class, i then made another friend called Stephanie.

Us altogther ate together in the middle of the quadragle not knowing that we werent supposed to.

Atlast recess had finsihed, us four was wandering around the whole school looking for the room that we were going to have on 3rd period, after about 5 minutes we found a few people in the higher grades and asked the way.

To me highschool is such a great place!! especially in Carlingford High! I already have made around 15 friends! and I also have some friends in year 9 and 10 also some from year 11.

I really like Carlingford High school

St Patricks Day

St Patricks day was born in the late fourth century. St Patrick was the patron saint and was a apostle of Ireland. St Patrciks birth name was Maewyn Succat then changed his name to Saint Patrick. St. Patrick unfortunately died on the 17th of March in 461 AD.

Then why do people wear green on St. Patricks day?

On St Patrick’s day people wear green because is a very important day for people around the whole word because it is their favourite colour and thinks it looks good.

Some people on St. Patrick’s day do a number of things, they pinch and play around each other.
