Lost in the forest - Writing Term 4

Devan staggered around the forest, fear gripping his soul. Heart pounding like elephants stomping.

Screams of despair flew out of his mouth, petrified shivers slid down Devan's spine. He stared up into the blinding sunlight. Light knifed through the leaves sending arms all over random places as he traveled, downcast and lost. Water dripped from his eyes. Devan stood stone cold, glaring around. There was no sign of life, suddenly the sun started descending.

Over 125,000 people in Britain have signed a petition against the new law.

With New Zealand’s summer holidays just around the corner we would like to know what readers of Kiwi Kids News think about this issue.

Titanic violin sold in auction

A violin believed to have been played on the Titanic before it sank, has been sold for more that $1.9 million NZD.

The instrument is now unplayable due to water damage but was believed to be owned by bandmaster Wallace Hartley, who was among the disaster’s more than 1,500 victims.

The story of Hartley’s band, which continued playing on the ship’s deck until the disaster’s final hour, is a memorable part of James Cameron’s “Titanic” movie.

Many experts believe that this price will not be beaten for sometime.

The violin has been subject to numerous tests to check its authenticity since it was discovered in 2006.

Blind golfer hits hole in one

A hole-in-one is a pretty amazing achievement for any golfer, but for Jim O’Brien it’s even more special. That’s because 71-year-old Jim is fully blind.

Jim from the UK and he landed the shot on the sixth hole at Surrey’s Hindhead Golf Club.

O’Brien has been playing for 16 years and said, as far as he knows, he’s only the third blind golfer to get a hole-in-one.

“When I teed off, I hit the ball nicely. After a few seconds, the guys I was with said ‘It’s in the hole’. It was a great feeling – it’s unbelievable.”

When Jim plays he is helped by a sighted caddie or guide, who lines up for shots for him.

The odds of a fully-sighted golfer hitting a hole-in-one are around 14,000-to-one, so it shows just how rare the achievement is.
