12 hour relay

As I looked to the right of me I could see this big cloud of dust coming this way. I tried to warn people around me but no one listened they were more interested in running. My name got called to run next so I stood there looking at the big dust cloud wondering what to do. I had no idea I have never been in a situation like this before. When I came back around the conner to the finish the run.
Once I had finished I looked at the dust cloud, it was moving very slow but it was so close. As the cloud came onto the corse you could here people screaming. The cloud stopped! Things that looked like shadows started to walk out. All of a sudden the cloud disappeared, and the things that now look like green blobs, started murmuring. They then got there weapons out and started shooting everyone. The only surviver was Britney who was hiding in the bathroom toilet waiting for it to be over.

Twelve hour relay Poem

12 hours of running as hard as you can.

2nd place is what we came last year, but we are going to beat that and come first this time.

Hot weather is hard to run in, but we still tried as hard as we can. 

Our bodies were starting to ack towards the end of the day. 

Up Up and away, you feel like you are flying higher then the sky, but actually you are just day dreaming while lying in the sun.

Running all day, it is not a game so don't just run around and play.  

Refresh your self with a cold drink. 

Eating helps keep your energy levels up. 

Lie down and stretch your legs as the sun goes down you watch the clouds in the sky

At the end of the day you are happy it is over, but you wish that you could just stay for a little bit more.

You are proud of yourself of how well you have run, and you go to sleep.

Life Ed

On friday our class went to life Ed. Firstly We watched a movie about people who had experienced drugs and most of them regretted it. There faces were blurred out and there voices where slightly changed so we couldn't tell who they were. Next we talked about peer pressure, it is when your peers or friends pressure you into doing something, it could be something good or bad. They may have been pressured into doing a job. There are also bad ones like getting peer pressured into taking drugs. We also talked about GIB and GAP, GIB stands for greater impact on brain and GAP stands for greater addiction potential that means that it is easy to get addicted to. We also talked about WITS REACH, it stands for Walk away, ignore, tell someone, say no, give a reason. give an excuse, assertive, change the subject and humor. These are all ways of getting out of peer pressure that you don't want to do.

Give Advise

I found out my two friends smoke. I'm only 13. I don't know what to do. I am really confused. Please help.

Dear.....
Firstly if they offer you a cigarette just say no thanks. You could also tell them why you are not going to have a cigarette and try to convince them to stop smoking. You could also tell an adult or someone you trust about this and get them to try and talk to your friends.

Secondly you could ignore them and make new friends you are better to lose a friend then end up smoking. If they try to be friends with you still tell them why you are not there friend for e.g. I am not going to be your friend because I do not want to smoke, it is really bad and can cause an early death.

Thirdly you could call someone like What's up (0800 94 8787)you call these people when you are in trouble or are in a situation like this, they can help you with your problems and they will give you really good advise
