Tyrepa's ballad poem
Rheanna's questioning drawing
Questioning
Title:Act one
Author:David Hill
My question is...I wonder why the girls are prejudging Alison?
In the text is says...She looked interesting I decided.
My question is...I wonder why Jody and Christy are exchanging looks ?
In the text is says...Jody and Christy exchanged another secret look.
My question is...Why Jody pretended to look at her watch?
In the text is says...Jody pretended to look at her watch.
Rheanna's inferences
From what I already know I think that means...That Jude's mum is stressed out about something.
In the text is says…
"I can't do everything!"Jude's mother said.
In the text is says…
"rubbish, just plain rubbish.Stupid rag-mags for women who have nothing better to do"
From what I already know I think that means...that mr Robb is annoyed that mrs Robb is keeping the old mags.
From what I already know I think that means...That Jude is interested in lots of things.
In the text is says...Lots of things amaze Jude.

Keithleen's ballad
A friendship worth saving
Ylona flies to where she was born
But when she arrived she felt quite torn
She started to sing and it got emotional
With her friend Bailey performing performing
On the stage performing
Her family in the front row being inspirational.
The ground shook and the people got scared
From Ylona's imagination this is what she feared
Bailey ran to the exit but it was too late
Ylona was stuck there helping, helping
But she realised she just lost her mate.
Bailey was flown to where their careers started
But he didn't remember that him and Ylona parted
Years and years have now passed by
Ylona sat there waiting waiting
For her friend to come back waiting
But he was nowhere to be seen and she started to cry.
A charity took Ylona and her family in
At least she didn't have to live by a bin
She has never seen Australia so shattered
But Ylona was excited excited
her family excited
and now Bailey never mattered
Soon enough Bailey had returned
he saw Ylona and felt quite concerned
they made eye contact but she wasn't contented
Waiting all these years so lonely lonely
Looking out the window so lonely
Deep inside Bailey knew she was disappointed.
Now that a year has passed by
all their friendship needed was a try
her sadness has now come to an end
because all she had to do was forgive forgive
even though it was hard to forgive
but now Bailey is once again her friend.

The true hero
1- A robbery is in action along new york town
With a tied up civilian who fiercely looked down
120 stories she could see but who could save her could
It be?
It was super tyrell, he came
zooming-zooming-zooming
Super tyrell came zooming but heard a vicious scream
2-But before he could untie the civilian
His chances of saving her was one in a million
Because one of the robbers men caught them with a
Sharp eye and shot tyrell until he shut his eyes
Tyrell came
Falling-falling-falling
Super tyrell came falling out of the sky
3-But before tyrell fell and died
A superhero came mysteriously zooming out of the sky
Then flew tyrell to his hero moon
Flying-flying-flying
Could the hero save tyrell there was no time to lose.
4-The hero tried to revive tyrell with his blaster
But nothing changed so he needed to think faster
He looked for something before he lost time
Looking-looking-looking
But time had run out it was an innocent crime
5-but when the hero thought that all hope was gone
A light from tyrells body had spreadly shone
but the hero was still crying in delay
Crying- crying-crying
But when he tyrell alive he screamed hurray
Neils ballard poem
The Astronaut
The astronaut is ready and excited to go to space.
The rush and adrenalin he's feeling right now he simply can not wait.
To be up in the sky and see the earth
Bellow.
Bellow
Bellow
Means the world to him the odly kind fellow.
He gets inside his rocket ship and starts to get Butterflies.
He is asked to take a photo which he nervously deny's
Out of the atmosphere he goes.
Up
Up
Will he make it? no one knows.
While on his journey to the moon.
He comes across some nasty goons.
Flying space rocks come into view
Flying
Flying
How will he get out? What will he do?
He manages to get out of the nasty group of rocks.
He reaches his destination and begins to dock.
He lands his spaceship on the ground
Landing
Landing
And celebrates by making a painfully loud sound.
He gets out of his faith full ship and grabs his country's flag.
He plants it into the ground his spacesuit filled like a bag.
He gets ready to fly back to his home.
Preparing
Preparing
With his long black beard like a Garden Gnome.
He starts his engine to return.
Thinking of the story his kids will learn.
After a long long time up on the moon.
Time
Time
He is keen to get back home soon.

Rheanna's ballad
Min
At the window Min waited,
Feeling a little deflated.
Down the glass falls rain,
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter,
Melting away Mins pain.
Thrown outside by the scruff,
Min knew life was going to get tough.
Beaten and whacked with a stick,
Beaten, beaten, beaten,
For making one of the kids sick.
Walking down the street,
Who shall Min meet ?
Another cat who picks a fight,
Scratching, scratching, scratching,
The fight goes right through the night.
Through the forest she is chased,
Away from the town she was based.
Over the logs and under the trees,
Running, running, running,
From which the other cat she flees.
She limps up to the Baker's door,
Her life will change forever more.
Bella comes out with a rug,
Stroking, stroking, stroking,
She brings Min inside and gives her a hug.
Bella tends to all Mins wounds,
Min will stay there for many a moons.
Being patted and stroked by Lily and Dad,
Purring, purring, purring,
Who knew that something so good could come from something so bad.
Eden's writing
Lightning
Lightning came, we were in the house
We were quiet, quiet as a mouse
It made a roaring noise
Striking, striking
The lightning was striking
Falling down my sister's toys
Then driblets of rain came
But I tell you it wasn't the same,
It made a noise together.
Hitting,hitting
Together it was hitting, making a shocking weather,
There we watched through the glassy window, together.
The rain splashing on the ground
Splashing on our roof making a noisy sound.
Raining,raining
The raindrops that is round
Falling, making a damp ground.
Then it was night
Everything dark no light,
Except the shining full moon
Shining,shining
Shining down, we will be in bed soon
The stars twinkling in the night
Making a bit of light.
Twinkling,twinkling
Then, there was no one in sight
But there, was the moon, saying, " Good night"
