One day, a hungry man knocked on a woman’s door and asked for food. She said, “I don’t have any food for you.”
“That’s OK,” the man replied. “I have a nail. I can make us some soup.”
The woman let him in. the man put his nail into a pot of water and said, “It’s always tastier when I put in some celery and salt.” The woman wanted some nail soup. So she got him some celery and salt.
Next the man said, “Onions and potatoes make the soup cook faster.” The woman was very hungry. So she put some onions and potatoes into the pot too. The soup boiled and boiled.
The woman said, “It smells delicious.”
The man smiled and said, “Yes, and I made it with just a nail!”

An Excursion
On Thursday, Class 8 A went on an excursion to observe plants.
First we went to Port Kembla Beach. There were not many plants because of the salt and the sand. Then we got back on the bus.
Next we went to steelworks. We sat on a hill and observed the plants. We saw bushes and grass. Not many plants grow because of the pollution.
We got back on the bus and went to Mt. Keira rainforest. We got off the bus and ate our little lunch in the cleaning area. We saw many different types of plants and trees. We saw wattle trees, tall trees, thin trees, and rock plants.
After that we got back on the bus and went back to school. We arrived at school at 12 o’clock. Then we went into school and talked about our excursion.
We had GREAT fun!!!!

REMOTE CONTROL RACING CARS
On the weekend of the 3rd of March, I went to the Ryde BMX track with Robert and Christ.
When we got there it was very crowded in the car park and we wondered where everyone was because there weren’t many people on the BMX track.
So we parked the car and then we saw a lot of people surrounding a little track with speeding cars going around it. There were also about five people controlling the cars from a high platform. The cars were about 30 cms long and 15 cms wide with big tread on the tyres and a flap on the front so that they wouldn’t tip over.
The after the races they were awarding trophies to the winners. When we were just going a boy was controlling a car around the track and it was going very fast. Someone else had a three wheeler motorbike, but it didn’t go as fast. Then we had to go, so we packed up the car and then we left.
