My Beautiful Place
Beyond the clouds, nearly into space, my beautiful hidden place appears on top of Mount Impossible. The hot blazing sun peered down at the old cottage while I felt the honey flavored air rushing into my mouth. I could trace the scent of the beautiful roses on the well raised bush. And just to state, at night all the flowers glow! The view so is so beauteous! I can hear Shippo giggling while playing and running around with Turnip Head.
As the chilled wind blew my hot air balloon to the other side, I could see Howel’s moving castle. It was no ordinary castle, it was a magical castle full of wonders, but there are only four places you can go in my secret place. The colours blue, green is where Turnip Head came from, which is where there are lots of mountains and hills filled with different types of plants and flowers dancing in the wind. The colour black is Shippo’s store where he learns his magic and acts like an old wizard. The last colour is yellow which is where Howel comes from where lots of long fresh grass lives.
I can hear the wind blowing to the sun like it’s trying to say something. I can smell the displeased sudor from Shippo running around all the time and also I can taste little pinches of turnip on my tongue - from Turnip Head of course. Ohh how I like to see the pure blue sky covering the air! Oh no! Time is running out! I’m sorry but I have to go, I hope you enjoyed the tour around my beautiful place!

Did you know about Ireland?
Are you aware that leprechauns are a myth and a legend? Some people these days still believe that somewhere out there in Ireland is a real leprechaun.
Have you ever wondered what the Irish celebrate? I have heard that in Ireland they have a pancake festival!
In Ireland they have potato pancakes, beef, sea food, cabage and pasta. Some other food in Ireland that we kiwis haven’t tasted or seen are water birds, soda bread and black pudding.
A famous person most people know in Ireland is Brain O’Driscoll. He is famous because he is the captain of the rugby Ireland team and he leads the team well too. Terry Wogan is a very famous and important person because he is an Irish radio and television broadcaster and he holds British citizenship.
Did you know that fun activities in Ireland are Irish dancing, shopping, fat Tuesday, golf, pancake festivals, the Dublin wheel, the ice bowl, running, walking and hiking.
Not many people know but the four-leaf clover is special, the first leaf means hope, the second luck, the third faith and the fourth love.

Describing Piri Weepu
It was windy as I looked out from the stadium to see Piri Weepu start the haka. Stomping powerfully, shouting and leading. He slapped his chest fiercely as the crowd went wild. He then showed a pukana with his brown eyes and his tounge came out proud when the haka finished.
Piri had the white ball and started to zoom across the field to get a try. He trained well and that’s why he is fully fit. His strong legs made him score a try. The crowd went wild! Piri Weepu went inside with his team for the first half.
Mr Weepu’s face was sweating and so was his black hair. Now I think he’s thinking about when he was young and a little boy and now with some tattoos and a big heart here in the rugby world cup 2011. He must feel proud of himself. The second half in now on. They done a scrum and Riche MaCaw got the ball and passed it to Piri Weepu. He sprinted half way down the field and he got tackled. He smashed onto the ground. He was running across the field like a mighty warrior.
The game finished and he went to the barber to shave his beard to raise money for a girl who has cancer. Mr Weepu put the hair on trade me. How kind of him to shave his beard for money to donate to a sick girl. Did you know that Piri Weepu shows good sportsmanship and has never got a red or a yellow card? He is special to me and my country because he leads the haka for New Zealand.
