Hammer the Hammerhead Shark

It was a wonderful day in the Great Barrier Reef in the year of 1609. The sun was warm and filtered beautifully through the water.  Hammer the hammerhead shark was very hungry, so he went to look for his favorite food, fish!  But he couldn't find any fish which is unusual because the Great Barrier Reef contains many fish. Hammer got hopping mad. Then he saw his best's friends McHam and Brian. They, too, where hopping mad since they couldn't find any fish.  They decide to split up and look for fish. They headed in different directions.  Hammer swam towards deeper water.  Suddenly, he saw a rope in the water.  There were fish on it.  He was excited.  He would finally be able to eat. So very carefully he chewed the fish off  the rope.  All of a sudden, out of the corner of his eye,  he saw a human swimming at him.  He couldn't believe his luck!  There was more food and it was coming straight at him.  He swam for the human.  As Hammer got closer he saw a flash of light.  The human had a weapon.  Hammer circled around and charged the swimming human.  He tried to bite with his enormous mouth but missed.  He felt intense pain in his belly.   He couldn't swim.  He couldn't move.  He sank to the bottom of the ocean and gasped one last breath.

Tone Paragraph- Scared

We pulled into the parking lot of Wal-Mart and what I saw made my heart stop. It was a swirling cloud coming down from the sky. Things were blowing all around.  It was a tornado! I was about ready to faint and I yelled at the top of my voice,''It's a tornado''!  We jumped out of the car and ran for to the store for safety. My brothers and I were terrified. We thought we were going to die! While we sat and waited for the tornado to pass, my mom prayed. When it was all over we quickly left the and went back to my Aunt's house.

Clipper ships

A clipper ship is a ship that could ''clip off '' the miles it was so fast. It was narrow in the front, deeper in the back and had many sails. Clipper ships were built in the United states in the mid - 1800's. The first ship was designed by John W. Griffiths. The ships name was Rainbow. These Clipper ships were faster than the earlier ''Baltimore clippers" which were developed in the Chesapeake Bay and used at sea.

Isaac's Funnest Activity This Week

The funnest  thing I did this week was celebrating my birthday. I got some wool socks and sock liners for hunting, 25 dollars for hunting licences and some lights for my mini-Christmas house collection on Wednesday.  I am now twelve years old. I am going to be hunting, today with my dad and Uncle. I am excited about going hunting.  I hope I get a deer. 

On Sunday, I will have a birthday party with my family.  My grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins will be coming.  My mom will be making one of my favorite meals.  We will be having Spaghetti, Finnish Flat Bread, and salad.

Jacob's Funnest of Fun

I am using my brothers blog to join in Kathryn's Fun Friday.

The funnest thing I did this week was when we had a friend come over.  We went outside and played in the snow.  We went sledding down our hill.  Then we came inside and had hot chocolate.  After we finished warming up, we went downstairs to play.  We played an army game.  It was fun!

Caleb's Fun

The funnest thing I did this week was I played Star Wars with my brothers.  We had fun!  We pretended we were in ships and we would try to shoot each other down.  I was Boaba Fett.  Jacob was Luke Skywalker.  Isaac was 8422 (he made this up).  It was a blast!
