The magic carpet!!! ( Egypt)

Once upon a time i was on a magic carpet. I had no idea that I was on a magic carpet. I got really, really hot. I looked down and I wanted to know where I was. I saw a big pyramid. I had a better idea where was. I said, '' I'm in Egypt.''

''How did I get here? I asked. I felt a little wind. I was taller than all the pyramids. I saw birds next to me. I was patting them. I said ''Am I dreaming? I shut my eyes and pinched my self real hard and I woke up. I was dreaming.

I said '' I had a great time but I am glad I'm home.''

The disco

On Friday the 12th of June 09, our school hosted a disco. The junior disco went from 6:00 to 7:30 and the senior disco went from 7:45 to 9:00.


After school I invited two friends over to my house to come to the disco with me. The two friends that I invited over were Emma and Lora. We went to the disco wearing the same clothes and our hair straight. We also got our hair sprayed green. Emma brought the green spray. For dinner we got Kingsley's. From Kingsley's we got chips and chicken nuggets.

My sister got to invite a friend over but she only got to invite one. My sisters friends name is casdid. My sister asked Emma if she could use the green spray to. Emma said that my sister could use the spray and so could casdid. We got to use the spray first because Emma is the one who brought it. Lora got 30 dollars for the disco and Emma got 10 dollars. Once we got dressed we went to the disco. I got 14 or 13 dollars. My sister only got 10 dollars because she didn't get any out of her wallet and I did.

We left home and went to the disco. We could not wait any longer. When we got to school we had to pay 3 dollars to get in. My mum payed for all five of us to get into the disco. We had to wait outside the canteen because we were waiting for the junior parents to come and pick there children up.

We were finally allowed to go into the hall because the parents came to pick there children up. When we got in to the hall we went to the canteen. Emma, Lora and I all made a deal that we all would play with each other for the whole time we were at the disco. We also made a deal that if we got lost we would meet each other at the brown cupboard near the canteen.

The first thing we did was the limbo and we had a boys line and a girls line. We did the limbo and after we finished the limbo the people who were holding the stick got to choose who got to get the freddo frog. We got to listen to some more songs after the limbo. We listened to some songs like TNT and we got to do the mackerina.

My friends and I got some more things from the canteen and then it was time to go home. My mum came to pick us up from the disco. We went home and my sister got to invite a friend over to sleep. I was not allowed to invite a friend over because I had soccer on Saturday.

I went home and I got into my pj's and went to bed. THE END
