In Africa an elephant called Bamboo lives with his family. There is mum,dad,brother and sister. Bamboo is 12 years old he is big for his age but he has a very long trunk which he uses to eat and drink. Alesha thought that Bamboo was getting more attention from mum and dad it made her feel upset,alone and angry. So she decided to run away. “It’s annoying, it’s not fair!” Trumpeted Alesha an ran to the river bank which was 10 miles away. Meanwhile her parents were so busy playing with Bamboo that they did not know that Alesha had gone missing. Suddenly Bamboo turned around to ask his sister if she would like to play. But she wasn’t there. “Mum,where is Alesha?” Said Bamboo in a frightened voice. “I don’t know”, said mum “Let’s go and find her”. They went and looked behind the bushes and the trees to see if she was there but she wasn’t there. “Let’s go to the river bank because she always goes there when she is upset”, said Bamboo in a sad voice. Mum,dad and Bamboo walked to the river bank it was a hot, dry and dusty evening they were all very hot and thirsty. “I hope we find Alesha because I am very worried about her”, said dad with a concerned voice. “We’re nearly there”, said Bamboo all excited. Suddenly Bamboo sees Alesha sitting beside the river bank quietly on her own. Alesha turned around and sees her mum,dad and her baby brother standing in front of her. “I’m sorry that I was giving Bamboo more attention he did not have any of his friends to play with. I turned around to ask you if you wanted to play and you weren’t there!” Said mum anxiously. Mum asked Alesha to come home because she had brought her a present. Alesha was excited about the present. She stood up and they all had a drink from the river then they all walked home.

Little Miss Smelly by Grace Halworth
Little miss smelly lived in a house on the top of a hill. The problem with little miss smelly is that she never washed,never!
Every time someone walked passed her they grew up or fainted because she stank that bad.
People in the town would say she is lovely but she stinks!
But did Little Miss Smelly care? No she didn’t she did not care one bit.
The house that Little Miss Smelly lived in was untidy,her bedroom was messy,her clothes were everywhere,her bed was never made and even worse there were flies in the kitchen.
Miss Smelly was in her kitchen she wanted a glass of water so she picked up the dirty glass and turned the tap on but no water came out.
I need Mr Plummer to fix my tap she said sadly. she went into the living room to find her phone but the problem was that she could not find it because of all the mess. Miss Smelly decided to see if Little Miss Cupcake was at home.
Later on that afternoon Little Miss Smelly went to Little Miss Cupcakes house she rang the door bell. Miss Cupcake opened the door and fainted, “Oh dear”said Miss Smelly.
Do you know what Miss Smelly did?
She walked straight in and called Mr Plummer,who said I shall be round later.
Suddenly Little Miss Cupcake woke up and said”What are you doing here?”
“I needed to call Mr Plummer”she said with a happy smile.
Little Miss Cupcake was just about to speak but she fainted.
So,Little Miss Smelly said “Bye,thanks for letting me use your phone and off she went back home.
later on Mr Plummer arrived he was wearing a mask because he was so used to Miss Smelly being so smelly.
Mr Plummer said”Why is your house so dirty and so untidy?”.
“I like it like that”,answered Miss Smelly.
“We’ll no offence but your house is very untidy,no one will come round,the people in the village aware saying unkind things about you”.
Little Miss Smelly started to cry she thought of Little Miss Cupcake and her friends . so she asked Mr Plummer to help.
Mr Plummer called the Tidy Up People who were very happy to tidy up.
Later on that evening Little Miss Smelly could not believe her eyes the Tidy up people did such a fantastic job. Her house was so spotlessly clean she jumped for joy and so she thanked Mr Plummer and the Tidy Up People for all their hard work.
Mr Plummer had a surprise “Come and see your new bathroom,”said Mr Plummer with a big smile.

I think this piece of writing is very powerful and makes you wonder what’ll happen next and also urge you to continue reading.
It uses exciting and interesting vocabulary and literacy devices. It also describes things in a way that is exciting.

This piece of art I made took about 5 sessions and I used many different materials to construct the finished product. I used coloured tissue, water colours and pencil. It doesn’t have a name yet, but it will soon though! It is has two avatars in it, one a silhouette and one normal and painted; and it has a human with a gun attacking them-he is also only a silhouette.

Huli Tribe
Huli tribe is one of the most famous tribes on Papua New Guinea. Hulis, harsh highlanders, are a jewell of all festivals. The Huli tribe, also known as the “wig-men”, made their home not far from Tari city, which is situated in the central highland of Papua New Guinea. Hulis are mostly civilized, but approximately one tenth of them lives a traditional life. Though this is true, for their fairs and feasts the men come back to their indigenous customs. For these occasions, even the city of Tari is suddenly filled with aborigines dressed in short skirts and traditional wigs richly decorated with feathers. Another reason they are famous is because they paint their faces, usually with yellow, red, and white decorations. They also make wigs from their own hair. The wigs look more like plumed hats, and they are not only intricately decorated with feathers of paradise birds, but also with the feathers from colorful parrots. The indispensable complement of their outfit is an axe with a casuar claw. This is a very dangerous weapon. The back side of a Huli tribesman’s throat is ornamented by various decorations, the most striking of which is a beak of a hornbil. The Huli tribe are nice and pleasant people. Moments spend with them are wonderful.

There are hundreds of indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest. The indigenous groups in all of South America have disappeared or been torn apart by the colonization process, disease, alcohol, forced labor and war. For long period of time the Amazon rainforest was a giant refugee for the indigenous population. This happened because the lack of a clear economic potential to be exploited by the colonizers. So the rainforestt remained almost untouched by the western culture until the first half of last century. That’s why you still find many indigenous Amazon rainforest tribes in the region, many of them already being under stress from legal (agriculture and cattle) and illegal activities (drug dealers, some wood cutters, some miners and biological traffickers).
There are still over 200 indigenous groups in the Amazon Rainforest , talking 180 different languages and each with their own cultural heritage. If you narrow your view to language families you will still find 30 different language families in the Amazon rainforest. This shows that like the flora and fauna , the cultural diversity in the region is also very high, making it an even more interesting and rich place.
The Kuarup is the biggest indigenous festival and it has being happening annually in July or August for centuries. The Kuarup festival brings many different tribes together to celebrate and honor their dead. Although the motivation is not the most cheerful one the festivities are happy and very enjoyable for outsiders. It’s a huge demonstration of indigenous dance, music, rituals , games and food. Nowadays the Kuarup can be seen by the outsiders on some occasions, not always, as it depends on the mood and willingness of the tribe leaders.

Deforestation is a huge issue worldwide, but what exactly is the nature of this well known, but not commonly understood threat to civilisation? This is what we will explore over the next few paragraphs.
What is deforestation?
Often people leap to conclusions on deforestation assuming it is purely human beings. It is not. As one of the essential natural forms of sustainability. Think about it without deforestation new trees could not grow and within a few hundred years the forests would be a tangled mass of dead wood. Fire, animals, lightning, the wind, storms and now humans are all the key perpetrators. But this is NOT an excuse to log ridiculously as we are stupidly inorant to OUR own world. Another assumption that people make is that it is all big companies doing the logging, sorry but its not. 1/3 of all logging is actually the locals expanding their back yard. True, the main contributor are the cattle ranches, but the locals can make a huge difference, all they need is a education… To view the full story go to www.qwertyscience.wordpress.com!
this next section is temporary
Why?
Motives in this are very simple… Money. Cattle ranches want more land to raise their cattle, locals want to have more land to make money and in 30 years time both will pay the price for it. Many people believe in economic rewards for not logging the rain forests but personally I believe that their economic benefit currently is larger than the rewards they get. So that’s not going to work.
End of time
