__WRITING__ 18th of December 1902

I was walking with my sandals on the hot cracked ground of Australia. When I was walking past some bushes I heard a noise. Luckily I could see my old friend Kaleb the Kangaroos tail sticking out, so I kept on walking. I then heard something in the tree. Luckily I could see my new friend Kasey the Koalas soft grey fur, so I kept on walking. After that I heard something slithering behind me, I screamed and ran because it was the deadly brown snake. I ran and ran until I was at my house. I slammed the door and put my snake gear on and repellent in my hand and went outside to face the beast. I am the only one in Australia who has this repellent that kills all snakes and spiders. I then sprayed it on the tough snake and it fell dead. Just in case it came alive again I digged a 100 metre hole for the snake. I then put a sign up on top of the dirt and it read "WARNING, SNAKE BURRIED HERE! DONT NOT STEP OR DIG ON THIS HOLE" So then pretty much everyone was safe from the deadly brown snakes and they then got extinct. Everybody cheered and clapped when the last one died.

Today was depressing and sad since my enimies and my mates were dead lying there in Flanders Field with hundreds of bright, red poppies laying with them. I feel so alone now that only a couple hundred of us left. We now are sailing from the Turkish Lands back to the Australian Shores, where I will meet my family and greet the familys whose son and daughters died just trying to save Australia and to keep us safe. I know it will take us a long time to get over the fact that so many of us were just trying to save Australia and that they died for us. The Turkish were just trying to help us when they said STOP in the Turkish Language. But my mate fired the first bullet and the first Turkish soilder fired the first bullet at his heart. We saw him die in pain and he just lay there in a pool of red blood. It was so depressing seeing my mate die but I just kept on fighting for Australians so they could live freely. One bullet hit my foot but I am ok and Simpson and his Donkey helped me before it was too late. I am really glad Simpson came to my aid otherwise I wouldn't have been ere right now writing this memorial journal entry. I am very tired so I might go to bed now, I will write to you tomorrow morning journal. xx Max

__ENGLISH__

//I tried to outrun the planes. My throat was raw. Every breath burnt like a blowtorch. When I got to the Queen's Elbows only the front wall was standing. Behind it was a pile of rubble big enough to fill thousands of skips. I bit my teeth together, hard, so there was no space for that flapping bird to get in. Billy's room was in the basement. I got down on my knees and shovelled away the rubbish with my hands until I found the grate where they used to roll beer barrels down to the cellar. I pulled a pitchfork off the fence and belted the rusty catch until it fell apart.//

//Clinging to the edges, I lowered myself into the cellar until my freezing fingers gave way and I dropped down into the darkness. It felt like my leg bones had rammed through my shoulders. I lay on my back, hugging my legs, trying to stop the pain. Through the hole in the footpath, I counted the planes - seven dark arrows against the gingerbread sky - and I wondered how much longer it would be until morning. But I couldn't wait until then; I had to find Billy.//

//I wonder who is Billy?// //What is she doing?// //Where was Billly's room?// //Why did she want to find Billy?// //Was she scared?// //Was she Nervous?// //I wonder why she wanted Billy?//

Dear Council, I strongly disagree in your opinion of having a landfill site at the oval of Holy Family Primary School Luddenham. As the pollution, the noise and our school may get shut down.

Firstly, The pollution. We don't want landfill pollution all over our school. Children could get very sick! Also there may be no fresh air and the school would stink depending on the direction the wind blows.

Secondly, The noise. There would just be large trucks creating extra traffic, beeping and the students and staff members wouldn't get their work done. Also we have neighbours near our school who would be impacted and we don't want them to complain.

Thirdly, The school may get shut down. That would mean extra travel for sudents. That would also mean no job for staff members.

In Conclusion, I strongly disagree we should have a landfill site at Holy Family Luddenham oval. I hope you agree with me too, for all the reasons I said.

From a Year 5 student from Holy Family Primary School Luddenham,

Zara Reynolds.

Green waste is made up of garden waste food scraps and would waste. All green waste can be composted yet around 54% of all rubbish sent to landfills consists of green waste. Households can recycle their organic waste such as food scraps and garden clippings at home by using a composting heap or worm farm. In fact any thing which was once alive can be put into a worm farm. Things like meat, vegetable scraps, material, string, paper, garden, clippings, leaves and fruit scraps can all be composted. The benefit of recycling organic waste is that it can be used to improve infertile soils. Compost added to soil can greatly improve soil affected by erosion salinity and ova farming. Brown organic waste can be turned into mulch for the garden. Mulching the garden reduce's water evaporation and saves about 75% of required watering. It also stops weeds invading the garden. For a country facing lower water levels each year and with a focus on water consumption reduction mulching seams like an effective way to help provent both water usage and waste.

__"What kind of world do we want in the future?"__

Let's Recycle! Recycling turns something into something else. For example if I put my plastic Nutella jar in my recycling bin. My Nutella jar would be turned into something completely different thing such as a plastic container for Chinese food. Recycling makes the world a better place which is good, so our world will go on forever! Did you know Australians have 700kg of rubbish per year! Well if we reuse tings the world would be very different. Reusing is when you have say a big cardboard box filled with unused nappies and you use it for something else like fill it with all of your old books.

Try and bring a recycling bag to the shops instead of a plastic bag. If you drop or chuck a plastic bag it can blow away into the ocean and turtles will thing it's their favourite food, jellyfish! Did you know plastic bags takes 20 to 1000 years to break down. So if we stop using plastic bags the world we want in the future is how it is now just some improvements in our rubbish. We have one of the smallest countries and we have the 2nd largest amount of rubbish in the world! If we want our world to go on forever we need to do these things so there is many generations to come.

**Computer Facts**

Enjoy some great computer facts and interesting information about these amazing devices which play such an important role in our modern day lives.

Early electronic computers, developed around the 1940s, were the size of a large room and consumed huge amounts of electricity. They were vastly different to the modern computers we use today, especially when compared to small and portable laptop computers.

Computers are programed to carry out instructions. these instructions are usually very simple and require adding numbers together moving data from one place to another etc.

A computer program can include as little as a few instructions to up wards of millions of instructions depending on the complexity of the program. Modern applications such as word processors, web browsers and graphic editors take large teams of programmers a long time to complete.

A computers memory stores numbers in huge amounts of cells that are addressed and can be quickly accessed by the CPU to perform calculations. There are to mane types of computer memory, rom (read only memory) and ram (random access memory). rom contains pre-written software and data that the CPU can only read, while ram can be accessed and written to at any thyme.

Computers are used to help link the world in the form of net works. Networked computers allow users to share and exchange data that is stored in different locations. Ewe may have heard of a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) which connects areas of various sizes. The Internet is a vast network of computers spaning the globe that allows users to access email, the World Wide Web and other applications.

Although we normally think of computers as the ones we use in our everyday lives to surf the web, right documents etc, small computers are also embedded into other things such as mobile phones toys microwaves and MP3 players. We use computers all the time, often without even nothing it.

Dear editor,

I am righting in reference to your article: 'Surgon urges worldwide mobile ban' The westerner, 3/1/06

I applaud the good sense of surgeon Mr Tan for finaly exposing the truth about mobile phones. It has

always been my belief that anything that is admitting radio waves should not be placed near our body at all let alone near our brains every day I am dumb founded to see herds of people young and old, with these minute machines atached to their heads Have you not noticed that your ears are red and warm after lengthy conversations. Could it be that the electromagnetic radiation entering your body threw your ears The statistiks are proving that the incidents of brain cancers in the young and old is rising.

This alone should prevent people from reeching for their mobile phones (especially when a landline phone is close by and conciderably cheaper). Not only are mobile phones menases to our health they are financial pitfalls The trend of young people being given mobile phones as presences from their parents is preposterous Please explain what a nine year old has to say to his or her friend that is so important it is worth their parent spending a doller per minute on it

I urge all mobile phone users to consider the repercussions of their next 'quick' mobile call.

Billy looked up, but even now he could not see the top of the big, green tree. It seemed to go on forever. He looked down to see the dry ground. He couldn't see it. He was in a big world of dry leaves and branches with no earth or sky in sight. The hairy beast was below somewhere. He couldn't hear it's roaring sound. Billy found a place where two big branches came together and he sat down to rest. Then something peculiar happened. There was a small branch close to where Billy was sitting and he suddenly noticed that a tiny patch of bark beginning to move. It was the size of a stamp, and the sides of it seemed to be splitting down the middle and opening outwards, like a pair of shutters on a glass window. Billy sat staring at this thing, and all at once a feeling came over him. It felt as though the tree he was sitting in and the leaves all around him belonged to another world.

My favourite place is the Botanical Gardens. When I start walking on the grass it's soft and the grass goes in between my toes. The nature is colourful and bright. The animals are beautiful in their own way and the people are kind and loving to all things there. The lake is full of beautiful ducks that are different and original. You can ride your bikes and scooters down the footpath and when you go down footpaths and the places you see feel magical and sometimes haunted. I've never felt so amazed about the wonders to discover at the Botanical gardens.
