Dear Ski Lift Operators
Thank you for supporting Karoro School with the amazing ski trip. I was one of the more advanced kids so I got to go up the top of the mountain and do whatever I wanted. Without you it wouldn't be possible for us or people on holiday to ski up the mountain.
I went up the magic carpet, poma, chairlift and t-bar. My favorite lift was the chairlift because you don't put any effort into your legs and back but when you get to the top you can do the Cat Track because of the jumps.
Once again thank you for the opportunity.

Refugees
In this task me and a couple of friends “tried” to make a poem like Brian
Bilston. When you read it down is is against refugees and when you read
it up you are for refugees.
Bilston. When you read it down is is against refugees and when you read
it up you are for refugees.
This poem is not made to offend anybody in anyway.
Refugees
They do not need our help
Do not tell us
These fake stories
These hungry faces
Cold blooded bombers
From both sides
Waiting for the right moment
To seek rights
To risk freedoms
Locals are causing havoc
With there dirty little lies
They are Escaping from disaster
No power no water
Don't give them anything
You say.
(Now read from bottom to top)
The Refugee poem was created by Max, Grace and Sam
this poem was made to make people think that he is against
Refugees but if you read the last line it states (Now read
from bottom to top) than it read like he is for Refugees.

Two Fronts Battle
Two Fronts Battle
On a cold, winter day Jed went on a monthly fishing trip.
Two weeks into the trip Jed started to steer his, large red boat
with fast racing stripes down the side, towards his net that he laid
out in that night. Sea Lady wouldn’t go the way he wanted.
“What the…?” Jed thought. It didn’t matter how much he tried it
wouldn’t go the way he wanted.

“What the…?” Jed thought. It didn’t matter how much he tried it
wouldn’t go the way he wanted.
Jed ran onto the titan deck,the salty spray wetting his bear-
like hair that was lashing in the harsh wind. Suddenly the boat
started to disappear through an invisible force field. Jed ran to the
front of the boat quickly. DONG! He hit his head on thin air. He fell over.
All he could see now was black.

All he could see now was black.
When he woke up, he wasn’t in his Sea Lady any more, he was on the beach.
He opened his blue eyes that shone as bright as the sun shines through the
white clouds. Jed slowly stood up, his vision was blurred.
He opened his blue eyes that shone as bright as the sun shines through the

There was one massive tree above him and blades in front of him. The big
one was called Crusher. He was big and brave with his two hammer hands.
One side was flat and one side spiked like the tip of a spear. His head
was the shape of a tree stump with his shattered teeth. He was with
Slicer the small one. He had feet that were saw blades made of the finest
metal in the word and you could see your reflection. His long, razor blade
hands were made out of the same metal You would call him a slicing machine.
