Ghosts

A couple months ago, we wrote a story with a reliever. She had a bunch of photos and we all had to pick one and write a story about one. I chose a photo with the ghost lady, because I like writing scary stories.   So let's recap.....     
comment if you see this :)

HERE IS THE STORY↓

It was a mid-day chilly Saturday and all of the town bundled up in warm clothing, I decided to take a walk in the town park, I started walking with the wind in my long blonde, curly hair. It flew around like the autumn leaves as they fell delicately to the crispy ground. My little blonde puppy barked and tried to eat the multi colored leaves. My leather jacket was keeping my upper body warm while my ripped skinny jeans kept my lower body warm, I had a grey woolen beanie with a fluffy pom-pom and a furry inside which covered my long silk hair. I skipped along the path my brown boots clopping on the ground. I seemed to be the only person in the wood. I would soon find out why. I slowed to a walk to find a bench, which wasn’t hard because there was a large opening with orange trees circling it. In the middle of the lush grass was a woman on the baby blue colored bench enjoying a book. She looked as if she was in the 1900s as she wore a long white scarf wrapping around her neck, her shirt was long sleeved and black and she had a flimsy grey skirt which had black squares. I figured her legs were crossed because her legs were not in sight. My puppy growled at the woman who didn’t seem to notice. I figured my pup was growling at the womans dog but I still was at the border of the trees so I guess she didn’t hear. I bent down and pushed my hair behind my ear. “Don’t” I quietly scolded my dog. He stopped at my voice but stared at the woman. The trees whispered in the wind and the leaves started to fall repeatedly. “Come sit down young lady there’s enough room” A raspy, old woman's voice said. I started to walk robotically, staring at my shoes. I sat down and hurriedly said “Sorry about my dog she doesn’t feel sure about…” My voice trailed off as I slowly looked up at the woman. Her face. Was, gone. Her hands were nowhere. Her legs definitely weren't crossed. She was a ghost. I never really got scared. But this time I was. What I do next could be a matter of life and death. But she chose for me. Everything turned black. When I woke up my dog was sitting in the lush grass and I was on the bench. I fell asleep! I looked around, and found that my eyesight was so much better! I looked around and found a book in my hands. I didn’t bring a book, but whatever. ‘She felt the life suck out of her body. And everything turned black’ the book read. I looked up from the book and saw a young brunette haired little girl by the border of the trees bending down patting her dog. “Come sit down there's enough room.” I said in raspy voice.

My Speech 2018

🌨We have speeches at our school, so I created a speech of something everyone dreams of.... 🌨

Have you ever had a dream where something really good is about to happen and then... Beep Beep Beep, Good morning let the stress begin. Hi I’m Sofia Royster and I’m going to tell you why school should start later. Something we all have in common is a rushed breakfast. But why be rushed isn’t breakfast the most important meal of the day? Instead of shoving weetabix down your throat take your time to create a healthy breakfast. Think about adding hard boiled eggs, toast with cheese and tomato, a smoothie, and yogurt with some granola and fresh fruit. Are you regretting your breakfast this morning yet? I know I am. But what if school didn’t start later and you had a really busy night cough cough fortnite cough and had to get into bed at about 10:00 pm then you woke up to that stupid BEEP BEEP BEEP at like 6:45 in the morning. The chances of you pressing the snooze button 10 trillion times is 99.99999% Out of 100. Well, if your like me. Children need sleep and going to bed at about 10 and waking up at 6 is only 7 hours of sleep. Kids from the ages of 5 to 13 need about 10 to 12 hours of sleep. That’s about the ages of Wainui Beach School students. Beaches, ah those totally picture perfect beaches. The beach is SO beautiful in mornings. Imagine waking up and going to the beach. That would set our teachers off for an awesome, calm school day. Walking on the beach doesn't only make you happy it does have benefits too. Did you know that people enjoy walking on the beach so much they walk more than they would walking on the street or a treadmill so they are exercising and enjoying it. That’s a perfect hack for me. When humans walk on the beach, the sound of waves and birds will likely let all struggles and worries erase from your brain and they can enjoy the rest of their day not holding all that hatred and stress inside of them. Then again none of this is possible because of the starting time of school, so I think Wainui Beach School could be the first school in New Zealand to start school at 10:30 and end at 3:00 so us students get 5 hours of great learning. Do you wish you could have that extra sleep in the mornings? I know in my experience, when I have that extra snooze in the morning it’s always “LET'S GO! COME ON GUYS WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!” So let’s be like cat’s spending two thirds of their lives sleeping; School SHOULD start later.



Hope you enjoyed it! Comment if you think school should start later🤔 I clearly do 🤣 Thanks for reading! 📕📖🔖
