Pirates

dictated by Daniel - typed by Mum

A wicked pirate is Blackbeard, he really lived.

Pirates are kinda like robbers, they steal things.  But pirates sail and dig for treasure, robbers just take things from banks and houses.  Pirates burn down houses and camps just because they are pirates!

Sometimes pirates have parrots.    They have long guns and short guns.  Pirates wear boots, sometimes they don’t have boots.  They have canons to sink other ships down.  Do you  know, that the Chinese people had pirates too.   Pirates always need a map for treasure.  Some pirates had armour.  They have daggers to fight people for their own treasure.

There are some different kind of flags.  They all mean death, which isn’t very nice.   Flags were important cause they gave messages to other boats.

There was a lot of treasure everywhere.

But pirates don’t think of other people.  Pirates only think of themselves, sometimes they even killing other pirates on the deck.  God does not want us to kill.  God wants us to love our enemies.  We need to care for them, tell them what is right and do nice things for them.

I do like pirates, but I don't like what they did then. 

I made all the treasure in the treasure chest and the flag.  

I bought the costume and knife from the toy shop.

I've been looking at lots of books about pirates and

playing pirates with my friends, and myself.

A few weeks ago, we went to the Bungle Bungles

The first day, we went to Echidna Chasm.  It’s fun in there; in one place, the light hit the rock and bounced off as a different colour.  There were some rocks stuck in between the sides of the chasm.  The colour of the rocks were a dark browny-orange when the sun hit the rocks.  It took about ½ hour to get there and ½ hour to get back.

On the second day, we went the domes, which are the beehive-shaped rocks.  We saw lots of conglomerate rock; conglomerate rocks look like shells stuck together.  They were stuck together from the wet season.  There was lots of lines on the domes.

Day three:  We went to the Mini Palms Gorge walk; there was lots of rock climbing (I like climbing) to get there.  There was stairs to get up steep rocks.  At the end, the was a fence, like a balcony; there was lots of palm trees down below and around us.  The fence was there to stop people from going down there to kill the plants, and it wasn’t safe.  Then we went back to the car, and went back to the camp.  And we went out again to see the sunset going down on a rock.  We were actually seeing the light and shadows when the sun set.  And we found out that colour was the same to the one at Andy’s Chasm, but darker.

Day Four: We packed up the tents, and we went back home, but it was far away.  It took six hours to get home. It made me sick, in the car, but when I hopped out, I wasn’t sick.  We all ate a pie in the car.  We listened to Odyssey and Mr Henry.

I liked the Bungle Bungles.  It was really cold at nighttime, but thanks to Mum, she gave us some hot chocolates to make us warm, and Mum got us some hot water bottles to sleep with.  Mum let us have more hot chocolates in the morning!  I woke up very early every morning, while everybody was still asleep, except for Mum and Dad.  And I saw the sun every day coming up, it was really nice.

Little Corella

These are noisy birds.  Big groups fly around looking for food and water. The birds come down (descend) to the trees covering it all white. Lots of flocks are seen especially near dams.  They make lots of noise in the morning.

Under the wings and tail its feathers are yellow.  The birds on the body and on the head are white.

The birds like to live in the trees.  The birds eat seeds.  The birds peck the tree for their nest.  They get sawdust and make it into a nest.  They may have two or three eggs after the wet season.
