Three Small Cards

Today Miss King gave us instructions to pick three small cards, an adjective, a verb and an adverb to write our own three made up sentences. Each time we had to use the same set of cards and keep the same essential meaning.

Sir Francis Drake

Sir Francis Drake, born in 1540 in England, was a very bold and brilliant sailor. Queen Elizabeth 1st gave a lot of encouragement to Sir Francis and he made England become a major sea power. He was the first Englishman to sail around the world in his ship the Golden Hinde.
Drake started his voyage from England, passed through the Magellan strait into the Pacific Ocean and along the western shores of the Americas, into Asia and returned back to Britian 3 years later. Francis brought with him a lot of treasure and spices. Queen Elizabeth 1st was so happy.

Cross Country

Nervously waiting on the cold hard concrete, I challenged myself to beat my mates at today's cross country. Cold and rainy weather made me shiver with cold as I ran through the puddles and my feet turned numb. My continual stopping, meant that I was falling behind the others. While I was running, I imagined myself coming first, feeling happy and tired. Crossing the finish line was so easy, but I was dizzy and exhausted too.

The dumbest thing I ever done is

I knew at the time it was stupid, but the dumbest thing I have ever done is pee my pants at the rugby field, while I was watching my brother play. You see the toilets at the rugby field were messy, ugly, disgusting and scary. I was so afraid that I needed my big sister Lia to come with me. unfortunately she wasnt so nice and I had no choice, I peed my pants right there. I told my Mum and Dad and we had to hop back in the van and go home. We left my big brother behind. I had to sit in the back by myself because no one wanted to sit next to me. When we arrived back home I had a nice warm relaxing shower.

Ferdiand Magellan

Ferdiand Magellan was born in 1480 in Portugal, after having disagreements with the government he decided he would sail for Spain. He went to the king of Spain and asked him for money and a boat. The King told him to find another trade route to India because the Portugese were blocking the known route around Africa.

In 1519 Magellan took The Victoria and sailed across the Magellan strait and in to the Pacific Ocean. He had discovered the New Ocean which was very peaceful; thats why he called it the Pacific Ocean. He was the first to cross the Atlantic Ocean and in to the Pacific Ocean. When Magellan stopped in the Phillipines to have a break, the local tribes attacked them and Magellan tragically died. He was never able to finish his voyage, however his crew finished the voyage and the Victoria was the first ship to circumnavigate the world.

Christopher Columbus

In the 1400s Christopher Columbus wanted to sail around the world to get to India he asked the government if he could borrow a boat and some money to sail to India. Columbus had a hard time finding someone to help him. Eventually the king said “Yes,But you have to make Spain look good”.So he went with his crew and set off to the west. A few weeks later they found land and said ”We have found India”.But actually they hadn’t, they had in fact discovered the Americans. So he sailed back to Spain and told the king.
