Year 6 Reflection
I'm sad to be leaving Riverdale. It's been an action-packed 6 years and I won't forget any of it. My highlights have been Quiddage and Camp. Quiddage was special because it challenge me to think of an idea for a business and to complete my rotations on time. Camp was full of challenges! I will never forget Riverdale and I will come back on day and see how it has changed.

DARE Fun day
As I clambered onto the bus I looked for a seat. I chose a seat next to a window and Corban plonked himself down next to me. The Dare fun day has begun. When we arrived at Indoor sports I knew there was alot of fun to be had. We got split into groups and got sent off to different activities. I got put into hockey. Good, at least I didn't have to learn how to play. But of course there was a lecture about how if you reached into the red circle you had to do five push-ups. We lost hockey, won netball, and lost soccer. Overall, it was great fun. I couldn't wait for all the activities the day would bring

Burger Fresh Recount
As I took my place behind the wooden table that was my station, I realised that if I made a single mistake, Burger Fresh would be a complete disaster. I heard Mr Bron's voice over the intercom "Burger Fresh is now open, Burger Fresh is now open" I braced myself for the madness that was going to begin. The door swung open and kids poured in from every direction. Oh boy, maybe I shouldn't of chosen this job. As I rifled through the slips looking for the right one, I knew it was going to be a long day.

Burger FRESH
How do I think Burger Fresh went?
I think it went well but I think we could've had more time to buy,
otherwise it went well.
What was my Job during Burger Fresh?
To hand out the slips to people . It was a bit hard with everyone wanting a burger at the same time but I managed.
What have I learnt from Burger Fresh?
That some things don't turn out as they're supposed to and to persist. How to make a paper spinner. How to design a logo. That pressure is hard to handle.
What were the challenges during Burger Fresh?
Trying to make the spinner properly.
Make work smoothly. Working out how much of each ingredient we needed.

Snow Fun
The snow is falling quickly
I run outside
I look up at the sky
and open my mouth up wide.
I'm winning the fight
as I hurl snowballs over the wall
my friends duck for cover
as snow begins to fall
The cold is getting to me
my toes are already numb
I run back in side
back to hot chocolate yum! yum!

Marooned
WALT: include writing steps
The ship violently lurched to the side throwing me against the rail. It was then I realised we were all going to die. The cry of the seagulls woke me. The sun beating down on me made me feel like I was back in my warm, safe bed. I groggily pulled myself to my feet. I glanced around at my surroundings. I seemed to be on a tropical island filled with trees. I looked down at myself . My denim shorts were tattered and my shirt was ragged and torn. I looked at my watch. It was completely smashed. I pulled it of and dropped it onto the sand , not needing it anymore. I explored the island and after about half an hour I saw something glinting in the sand. I sprinted over to it. It was my watch. Then I realised I was marooned. I fell to my knees not knowing what to do. Then I heard rushing water. I stood up and followed the sound into the trees. Suddenly sunlight burst through the trees and I had to cover my eyes. I pushed through the tree line and in front of me was a small fresh water river. I leapt in letting the water swallow me up. When I floated to the surface I had completely forgotten my problem. I didn't hear the rush of the water until it was too late. The water had disappeared over a waterfall. I scrambled for a handhold but my hands couldn't find one in the mud on the banks. I was going over the waterfall. I let out a yell but I was silenced by a mouthful of water. I spluttered and broke the surface. I looked up at the waterfall and couldn't help laughing. The waterfall was only a meter high! I pulled myself out of the water and started through the trees back to the coastline. As I stepped into the trees I tripped over something and as looked up and I saw I was in a rubber escape raft. I rolled over and let out a scream sending a flock of birds. There, lying next to me, was a skeleton. I quickly pulled myself over the side of the raft breathing heavily. I stood up and stared at the skeleton. It was yellowed by age, and was wearing a red t shirt and black jeans. I was about to drag the skeleton out of the raft when I heard a ticking sound. I rolled the skeleton over and lying there was a bomb. I bolted off through the trees weaving around them then KA-BOOM the bomb exploded just as I burst through the trees and threw myself on to the sand. When I woke up I seemed to be in a medical bay. I pulled myself off the bed and remembered what had happened. The bomb exploding, a black helicopter, being taken to the aircraft carrier, being told everything was going to be alright. "Well, thank you Lachlan for that amazing story. Next time tell us something real" Miss Armstrong said disapprovingly. As I walked back to my desk I knew that they were wrong. All wrong.

How to Fly a kite
WALT: Use short and long sentences
-Using a variety of conjunctions
A kite is a flying object that you use for fun.You use it out side and it flies on the wind. To fly one you will need a kite, string, and handles. You should make sure the string is securely attached to the kite and handles before flying. To lift it up off the ground will need to face the bottom side of the kite into the wind but if it isn't windy enough you will need to run with it while someone is holding the handles for . Then it will fly away.

Moment in Time
My hear thudded in my chest. I blocked everything out. I could faintly hear Mr Bron. Then a shout brought me back to reality. I weaved skilfully round the poles, skidding as I went. Up ahead I could see the balance beam. I lept onto it and dived off 10 seconds later.Halfway through the hurdles I slipped. I braced for impact, waiting for my shin to smack into the wood. Instinct kicked in at the last second and I flew over it. As I skidded off the bridge I could see my opponents back as he sprinted away.I dashed after him. I could see the finish looming. Then my foot slammed into the other.I triumphantly dived for the line I made it.
