An information report from Helitha and Rohith (Year 3) and an incredibly moving narrative by Ali (Year 5). I trust you enjoy them just as much as I have!

Bengal Tigers – by Helitha and Rohith

Bengal tigers are one of the most incredible creatures on land. They are one of the stealthiest and beautiful cats in the world. They are quite strong and will attack anything in their territory.

Like most cats, they have retractable claws this means they are not hunting their claws go inside. When they are hunting, their claws are on the outside.

Tigers are big predators and need a lot to eat. They eat buffalos, pigs and deer. First they stalk their prey, wait for their prey to come close and then they pounce! If there is leftover meat, a tiger will bury it and will come back everyday to feed on it until it is gone.

Tigers are mainly known to live in forests of India where they can find most of their food. Other times they are found in the zoo.

What Matters – by Ali

One man is my hero, he drives my power. His character is my fuel, my confident and my favourite. My friend is there, to support and challenge.

A game is there to keep me entertained, but where will it all be in the afterlife? Where will my friends be in the afterlife? Where will the one man, my dad, your dad, my hero, your hero, be in the afterlife?

This is significant as these people will miss you, so try to make the most of time. Try to enjoy yourself, follow your dreams, they are your path to success!

Make the most of it while you can, achieve the most while you can, be the best while you can, stay undefeated, an underdog, a powerhouse, be the character that is your fuel, your confidence, your favourite. Be the one friend that is there to support and the one man who is a hero.

So there is a learning lesson for you, my child, take this advice and trust me. Please do not make the same mistakes as me, this is not the 1960’s! If you ever find yourself in trouble, remember that character, make him proud, remember the one man, my dad, your dad!
