How the Thorny Devil got his Spikes

Posted on December 26, 2013 by Caleb — 3 Comments ↓

I wrote this story at school this year (2013).

Once upon a time there was a devil in the outback. There was also a dingo, a bandy-bandy snake and a kookaburra.

It was in the morning when the kookaburra laughed and everyone woke up. The dingo was very angry because the devil was on top of him, and the the bandy-bandy snake was under a rock ready to see what will happen next.

All of a sudden, the dingo started chasing the devil. The devil didn’t now what to do, so he just started running this way and that. After an hour of running the devil decided to give up. The devil just stopped dead in its tracks and so the dingo came up too the devil.

All at once the dingo started tearing the devil apart, or at least he thought he was. The dingo was actually adding spikes to the devil. Once the dingo thought that he had killed the devil, the devil rose and started chasing the dingo away. The kookaburra and the bandy-bandy snake started cracking them self up really hard and loud too.

So that’s how the thorny devil got his spikes.

The End

Meeting Rory Sloane

Posted on October 18, 2013 by Caleb — 9 Comments ↓

On Tuesday I went to Gran and Pop’s house because Mum and Dad had a Doctor’s appointment and after they had the doctor’s appointment they would have tea (supper) out.

When I was at Gran and Pop’s house I played with a home made race track with Elijah and it was a blast. Then I went outside with Elijah to play with the ball and see some ducks. When we came inside I watched a football tape with Elijah. Elijah and I were the commentators and we booed and cheered. After I got tired of watching TV. I asked Pop if we could go to Brighton oval to kick the football at the goals. So off me and Pop went to the oval.

After I started kicking the ball at the goals I saw someone with long hair running around the oval. The person came closer and he asked me to handball the ball when he passed so I did, then he hand balled it back to me. When the man was farther away I went to tell Pop who I thought I saw. I told him that he looked just like Rory Sloane. Pop agreed that he was Rory Sloane, but we were wondering why was he at Brighton oval, shouldn’t he be on holiday or training at football park instead of being at this small and ordinary oval?

Rory Sloane was about to past us again so Pop found a piece of paper and a pen. He was right in front of us when we asked for his autograph but he ran right past because he was in a middle of a run, but he said he would be back soon, and he was. The next time he passed us he ran a bit farther but he then walked back to us.

He then signed the piece of paper then he talked to us a bit which was lucky. He also stood on the mark and wanted me to kick the ball at the goal at a really sharp angle. I kicked the football to the goal and it went in. After I kicked the ball to the goal he came over to me and gave me a high five and called me “Eddie Betts” (a good kicker who runs around the mark and kicks).

When we were at home we told everyone at home that we met Rory Sloane and got his autograph. They were all really happy for me seeing and talking to my favourite football player. Then we all had tea (supper) at Gran and Pop’s house. We had a roast with some vegetables with orange juice.

Mum and Dad came home a bit later that night because they had tea out. After they told us about there day I talked about my day. They were also happy for me seeing him.

The next day my dad checked on Twitter to see if Rory Sloane had tweeted back. We saw that he tweeted but it was weird in a different sort of way. I didn’t tell him about my dad’s first name and my dad didn’t mention my name at all. Yet he mentioned my name in his reply, he said that I had really good aim. Also, he remembered my name when other people wouldn’t remember my name. Our family think that Rory and me had a good time, especially me.

@BillHutchison no worries.. Caleb can kick the footy very well.

Meeting Rory Sloane was the best part of my holiday, and I think it will stay like that. He is very friendly and kind to everybody, and that’s why I like Rory Sloane so much.

Soccer With My School Team

Posted on June 13, 2013 by Caleb — 4 Comments ↓

Last month I just started playing soccer for my school and we’re doing great. We’ve won one, lost one, and tied one which is pretty good.

Our first game we tied 1-1. Then our second game we lost by just one goal 3-4. Then our third game we destroyed the other team 7-1 which I loved.

My favourite goal so far as been when one of my team mate did a corner kick and it bounced right off the other teams player and right into their own goal.

So far our team has got eleven and I’ve got four assists so far.

The team that I’m on right know is a good team and some of my new friends are on the team which I like.

My Lego Creation – Sea Serpent and Scuba Diver Submarine

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Caleb — 6 Comments ↓

I love Lego. I have a lot of Lego sets. It’s really fun to play with. For Christmas I got two Creator sets, a Street Corner, and a farm set. I almost made all of them that day. It’s really fun to build it, then I play with it. Sometimes I make my own creations which I think are really cool.

I got the idea for the sea serpent and the scuba diver submarine from the Atlantis series in a Lego sticker book. I made the creation using a creator set.

School Field Trip to Mount Yumnuska, Kananaskis

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Caleb — 8 Comments ↓

One day I went on a field trip with my dad to Kananaskis Country. It took has a long time to get there. On the way there I saw a lot of wild life, some even said they saw a bear. Some of the wild life I saw was Deer, a Beaver Dam , and maybe a Bear.

When we got there I needed to go to the Dunny (outhouse).

We got introduced to are guide. It was really windy when we started to hike. I spotted a lot of things, I even found a birds nest. We hiked for a long time. She even showed us a mountain called mount Yumnuska.

After we walked up a big dirt road to a mind. When we got up the road she said to get a rock as big as your hand. Then she let us throw it into a little pond. Then we went into long wavy grass. Swissssshhhhhy, Swassssshhhhhy, Swissssshhhhhy, Swassssshhhhhy!When we got out we did an experiment with clay.

After we walked a bit, we found a little stoned shed that was used for mine equipment. Then we walked on a hilly path that had trees sticky out from every direction. Then we passed the other group. After we had some yummy lunch we played some games. We even threw rocks on the ice. My dad use to camp there and they even went around Mount Yumnuska. Then we went down a path that had no leaves on the trees.

After a while, we ended at the same spot were I found the bird nest. We saw the other group heading for the bus and we raced them and we were first. Then we sat in our seats and headed back to school. The bus ride felt longer then it did before. When we got to school it was time to go home.

Now that was the field trip to Mount Yumnuska.

The End!

A Long Bike Ride To Calgary Christian School

Posted on September 18, 2011 by Caleb — 7 Comments ↓

One day me, my Dad and my sister went for a bike ride to my school. It took 52 KM there and back! It felt like it was as long as the whole city! It took the whole day.

First we started at our house, then we went to Fish Creek Park where I threw up. I was kind of scared at Fish Creek Park because we went gravel. I slipped a couple of times but I didn’t fall or hurt myself.

We needed to go up hills and down. When we got to the top of a hill, I felt sick holding Dad’s bike.

We went to the washroom’s, and then the biking continued. After we got to the top of a hill, we stopped at a bench to have a drink of water. After we had a drink, then we started again. I felt really excited to get to my school.

The next park was Glenmore Park, it felt like the longest park. When we got out of the park, we rode on the road to my school. Then we went over a big bridge. When we got across, I tripped on a bump and fell down and hurt myself. So we went to 7-Eleven to buy band aids.

Then we finally reached my school.

We had lunch and played on the playground at the school. After we started to head home.

When we got home I was sweating like a big fat pig. I had a nice clean shower and I smelt a lot better.

Then it was dinner time, it was a delicious. Then I went to bed. I fell asleep really fast.

The End…

The Day I Went Camping

Posted on August 9, 2011 by Caleb — 5 Comments ↓

(a work of fiction)

One day we went camping at Banff. It was as beautiful as a flower.

We started to pitch up our tent when, BOOM! It started to rain. There was lightning and thunder when suddenly, BOOM!

Then we saw some light and some smoke. There was a forest fire! Luckily there was rain to put the fire out. But the bad news is that there’s lightning and thunder. It was as scary as a bear trying to kill me and eat me. Then we put on some special clothes and went to investigate what was going on.

When we got there two people where hurt. I rushed back to the tent and called 9~1~1. There was no answer. I got some emergency stuff and ran back to the fire. I told Mum and Dad “I tried to call 9~1~1 but it didn’t work because the power line is broken”. I said as well, “I got some emergency stuff from the tent to help these people out!”. We did our best to help them and it worked.

They said to us, “Thank you for helping us!”.

We replied, “Your welcome.”.

I made an announcement, “Let’s get this fire out!”. Then we got to work. We did our best to get the fire out and it worked.

My family said to the two people, “Do you want to come to our tent and warm up?”.

They answered, “Yes!”.

They came to our tent and warmed up and asked, “Can we come to your house?”.

We answered, “Yes!”.

Then they came to our house and we lived happily ever after with the two people.
