my story

Dear family

I have to leave our house because it is in ruins and in flames.

I am in a refugee camp and I have been gone for about a year now and I really want to return home but I can’t because someone says it is still too dangerous to return home.

I really miss the good food like pizza and spaghetti and most of all I miss my friends and I really miss Jacques beach but here there is no beach and I don’t know anyone here.

I don’t have hardly anything but the things I found were a knife and a back-pack and some bananas.

The way I got to this refugee camp was on a refugee boat. I don’t know where here is but it is somewhere far away from our house and it is better to live in.

I got on the boat and I said to the driver “where are we going?” and he said “we are going somewhere else but not here” and I said “OK” then we travelled overseas for about 3 days then we had our only encounter with the pirates.

The pirates stopped next to our boat. I tried to hide my knife as hard as I could. The pirates came on board and stole everyone’s belongings but when a person refused to the pirate so the pirate pulled out his sword then stabbed the man in the stomach and then the man fell to the ground. The pirate took his stuff and then said “anyone else want to refuse?then no one spoke.

Then the pirates left then I got my knife out and put it in my pocket. Then the next day we ran out of water and food but luckily we found the refugee camp and now I have been here for a year.

 

I hopefully am coming home soon.

 

Love from Harrison

the time no one answered me!

So one day when I was at home on a weekend it was a bad day because whenever I tried to asked my Mum she would never answer me but she would answer both of my sisters.  I felt a little angry so then I went to the shed to see what Dad was doing I asked him but he didn’t answer because he was busy but I didn’t know so I got even more angry.  I went back inside then I asked Mum again but she didn’t answer so then I had to shout so then Mum answered me.

my tennis tournment

Hi my name is Harrison and I’m going to tell you about my greatest achievement in tennis.

The first time I went to a tennis tournament I was nervous that I would lose my matches and get no prize but when I played my first game the other player could never hit my shots.  When she served I hit the ball back to her and she would always miss her shot 90% of the time and then I beat her easily and the score was 6-0

Then the next game I had a better opponent and she would hit some of her shots so I was happy that I could have a bit of a rally but I still beat her with a score of 6-2 and I was excited for my next game.

Then the last game I was versing a boy who was better than both of the previousl girls combined but I was better than him and some of his shots would go in the corner and he would win that point but when he was on 40 and I was on 0, I made a massive come back and won that game.  I won the whole game 6-1 and I won in my division and got a training session with Coach Colin Thompson and my cousins Beau and Charlise also won in their divisions as well.
