The Battle of 2 Schools
There once was a school very much like your own. With the usual groups like the geeks, sports players and singers. But this school was different....yes, the school had groups but their groups consisted of invisibility, flying, the power of earth and healing. As you would have noticed that this particular school was no ordinary school in fact this school was for children who had special powers and this schools name was Beaumont Primary School. The undercover learning area for magic.
It was a dull, cold day when the disaster struck them....and no one suspected anything at all that was out of the ordinary except for Beaumont Primary School’s headmaster, he knew something was wrong but he just didn’t know what. The undercover learning area for evil magic had struck them, and the only thing that the Beaumont pupils could was to fight back and get revenge on De Hoop Primary School as soon as possible before it’s too late.
The De Hoop pupils had the ability of strength, speed and flexibility of the dolphin that rested on their chests representing evil magic. Beaumont had the power, courage and strength of the lion which represented the good, helpful magic from their hearts.
On November the 5th the two schools met up in the dim moonlight of the night, wishing and waiting for the time of revenge.
In the past years Beaumont had won and lost many times before with De Hoop in the lead. De Hoop had secretly stolen good pupils from Beaumont and had turned them into something else. That is what Beaumont thought they were doing, but De Hoop knew more of this untrue story.
The fight had started slowly but eagerly, it was the fiercest fight between water and land, dolphin and lion, good and bad.
It carried on for many days until the headmaster of Beaumont thought....this is it, enough fighting, enough of this!
He went into the war as an undercover spy and found out that De Hoop thought that Beaumont were doing the same to them as they thought of De Hoop! He then realised that it was all a misunderstanding and that De Hoop was never that dark and evil after all.
And from that day and on De Hoop and Beaumont Primary School have been arch enemies at sight but best friends at heart.

Under construction
Dear Sir,
I am writing in response to your request for additional information. In block number 3 of the accident reporting form, I put "trying to do the job alone" as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully, and I trust that the following details will be sufficient:
I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six story building. When I completed my work, I discovered that I had about 500 pounds of brick left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley, which, fortunately, was attached to the side of the building at the sixth floor.
Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the roof, swung the barrel out and loaded the brick into it. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tight to insure a slow descent of the 500 pounds of bricks. You will note, in block number 11 of the accident reporting form, that I weigh 135 pounds.
Due to my surprise of being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rather rapid rate up the side of the building.
In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming down. This explains the fractured skull and broken collarbone. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time, I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold tightly to the rope in spite of my pain.
At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of bricks hit the ground, and the bottom broke out of the barrel. Devoid of the weight of the bricks, the barrel now weighed approximately fifty pounds.
I refer you again to my weight in the accident reporting form, block number 11.
As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the building. In the vicinity of the third floor, I met the barrel coming up. This accounted for the two fractured ankles and the lacerations on my legs and lower body.
The encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell onto the pile of bricks, and fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the bricks in pain, unable to stand, and watching the empty barrel six stories above me...I again lost my presence of mind...and let go of the rope!

Maiden Voyage
When the RMS Titanic left the port of Southampton for New York in 1912, someone said it was 'unsinkable'. It sank. Five days into its maiden voyage...not unnatural for 70 000 tonnes of steel by the way!
Blogging is an old term, but here in Africa we've only recently hopped onto the proverbial bus. This blog is for learners of Grade 6e2 in Beaumont Primary School. We aim to post articles, photo's, stories, jokes, cartoons, artwork, videos, schoolwork and everything in between that proves relevant and worthwhile posting.
This is unfamilliar and unexplored water for us, but we're excited to learn from it and through it about our world and what is relevant to our lives. This is our blog.
No one is making any promises, but we hope to stay afloat for longer than the Titanic!
