Mother of Dragons - Picture Prompt

When the dragon had hatched, crawling out of its shell onto her bed, Zoya knew that her life would never be the same again.

 

She had brought the dragon far away from her village; away from the people who would hurt it and take it away from her. As she held it in her hands, feeling its claws affectionately digging into her fingers through her gloves, Zoya knew that exactly what she had to do. What they had to do. Together.

The dragon gazed at her. She could see the flames burning within its eyes. It was totally dependant on her, as a new-born child is to its mother. And yet, strangely, she felt dependant upon the dragon as well; dependant upon what it was and what it would become in time.

They would become inseparable. Their futures were entwined. Their adventures were only just beginning…

“Zoya” A voice yelled out, “Where are you?” Zoya heard the voice and recognized it almost straight away, it was her dad. She felt her heart pumping in her chest, tears started falling down her cheek and she grabbed the Dragon and she sprinted as fast as she could. She could feel the wind flying through her hair like it was some sort of blow dryer. She saw that the voice was now fading away but she still couldn’t trust it, mixed emotions were running through her as she didn’t know what to do, but it felt like her body did so she just kept running, and running.

Night started to fall, Zoya could feel the wind change to a southerly. Zoya rushed to the nearest tree and tried to find some worms for the Dragon, but nothing was there… She thought for a couple of minutes like, “Will we starve to death?” “Should I look somewhere else?” “Where am I going to get shelter for the night?” “Do I feel guilty from running away from my Dad?” At that point Zoya didn’t know what to do, she felt happy and sad at the same time. She saw the Dragon was getting cold so she started to look around, she went on top of a little stone and then over in the distance she saw a little barn, Zoya then took the Dragon and walked over to the barn. She thinks it's abandoned but little does she know…

She tiptoed into the barn, cautious that there may be something or someone in there. She went in the barn and she heard a noise… It was a noise not many people will ever hear in there life… She heard screaming, just screaming. It sounded like a little girl screaming…

Zoya then went over and put the Dragon on a little shelf she saw when she walked in. There wasn’t really much to describe it as it was old and rusty, the nails were sticking out of it like a sharp knife. Zoya knew that her life was at risk as she didn’t usually do stuff like this. Zoya then went up to the top stage of the barn to see what the screaming was, but when she opened the cold rusty door she then got a surprise that she wasn’t expecting. It was her younger sister, she never really talked about her as she was very shy and sassy. Her name was Breanna but everyone called her Bre, Bre loved playing with horses that's how she probably got here. She probably was out with dad, trying to get Destiny back in (Destiny's her horse) Bre’s spoilt though, she gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants.

Zoya rushed into the room and untied her, she didn’t know what had happened but all they needed to do was get out of there, they would talk about it later. Zoya grabbed the dragon and grabbed her little sister's hand and she took them up to the big oak tree. Zoya didn’t want to talk to her sister as she would ask heaps of questions about the dragon, but it was the only way they could survive and figure out what was happening...

Learning Plan Review

Multicultral Week

On Tuesday (the 21st) it was Multicultural Day, some parents came to teach us about some different countries/cultures. The first rotation I had was sort of like art, but the Chinese name for it was Spring. Something I learnt was that it was called Spring and that if you put it up to a window then the sun will shine through it and it will make a sort of pattern.

After we learnt Spring we went into our next rotation, CHOPSTICKS! I haven't properly used chopsticks before, but I was excited to learn! When the lady went to teach us I couldn't really see because there were so many people crowding her. So when I went to get a jellybean it was really hard, I had to try and try and then I after about 10 minutes of trying to get one I got one! Then it was time for the next rotation and it was Henna. The girls got to go first for Henna, and while we were lining up the boys and the other girls that could have Henna next they went to go learn about Israel. I was one of the first people to get Henna so when I was done I got to go learn about Israel myself! The most interesting thing I learnt about Israel is that there's a place call the Dead Sea, and if you stand/lie on the dead sea then it will make you FLOAT!

After Morning Tea we got to go to our next rotation, learning about Russia! It was really exciting when we entered the Year 7/8 hub. The most interesting fact I learnt about Russia was that hundreds of years ago some men and women made a building WITHOUT nails!

I used Growth Mindset today by not giving up with the chopsticks even though it was really hard!

Mr & Mrs Twit

                   Mr & Mrs Twit

Mr Twit is a hairy person. He keeps the most stickiest glue in his garden shed. He also puts the glue on the Old oak tree in his backyard for bird pie every Wednesday. Mr Twit  has a very big beard to, on his face and he also keeps lots of old food. So when he's hungry he just licks and something always comes out of it. EW. Now for Mrs Twit well I hate to break it to you but she's WORSE. She "Thinks" that she was getting the shrinks but obviously that's not a real thing!! But anyway! She's a disgusting slob like Mr Twit to BUT she cooks the bird pie and skins the birds like YUCK! They also HATE animals and they also keep Monkeys in cages. Mr Twit wanted to have boy pie when the boys came and sat on the tree, Poor things!

Both Twits have nasty things but they both play nasty tricks on each other. Mrs Twit also has a glass eye, She once put it in Mr Twits glass of beer and he got a surprise! Now Mr Twit wants to have a "Monkey Circus" so he made his 4 monkeys stand upside down for days and days.

Pet Day

Pet Day!

WALT:  Describe our pet day.
S.C:  Make the reader understand my feelings about Pet Day.

On the 25th of November Oakland's had a pet day! It was a really fun day and lots of people dressed up as animals. It was a gold coin donation and I really enjoyed it. In the morning we went to the field and we got to see all the big and small dogs, well most of them!
It was a bit cold and rainy but atleast I was in my onesie.

Here's some pictures!

The pet I liked most was the pug. I don't know who owned it but it was so CUTE!
