Sacha's poem
Over the hills and far away
Above the rainbow, she beautifully
lays
Too far to reach,
she escapes our touch
How is it fair?
Her soul was loved
But surely a fool would be made out of me
To think she was gone
taken from
thee
For now I know
it's not the end
Over that rainbow
I'll see her again

Scott's Poem
Why, Oh why can’t I?
Smell
the sweet smell of freshly cut grass
Feel
the tension of the first morning
With
the hairs standing at attention on the back of my neck
Walking
down the tunnel to the cheer of the home crowd
Can
I do this?

Amber's writing about the space video
What if your food came to life? Twisting and turning before your eyes, like a ballerina at a concert. Imagine the chore of cooking. While your tortilla tumbles away, the avocado follows suit. “OI!” I yell “stop doing cartwheels”. Mischief meats join in the ruckus making it impossible to assemble them in a line. How did I ever get into this mess?

Spicy Space Adventures
"Holy Guacamole!!!" shouted Hernandez as he took a bite of his chili chicken tortilla , each bite igniting sparks in his mouth. He began to feel an immense heat rush over his cheeks as he swallowed a chunk of the tantilising tortilla. Pasqual had eaten earlier and had finished all of the tinned tuna so he was left with a tin of chicken that resembled cat food...and kinda smelt like it too. As the fire in his stomach began to grow he believed Pasqual set him up for pranking her last week with the curry episode.

Hernandez's stomach started to rumble, it felt like people were dancing the samba within his intestines, he couldnt take it anymore!!!! He had to get to a toilet....QUICKLY! Hernandez tried to run but the strap holding him in his seat was stuck, he called for help but no one was around.....he forgot that he was in a spacecraft 380,000 kilometres from earth...who was going to help. He pulled and yanked and squirmed as he tried to open the belt. "SNAP" it broke and Hernandez floated out of his chair, he ran like a bull towards a red cape, he REALLY needed to get to the toilet now. As he went to open the lever to the space loo it was locked...." uno momento, I think the chilli chicken is off, best you dont eat it" called Pasqual from the toilet. Hernandez froze..... "ai yai yai! WHAT DO I DO NOW?".
