Here is the definition of biomes from the dictionary: a large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat, e.g. forest or tundra. So it's basically a large group of similar ecosystems. And here's one biome from earth.

The magical tree house

Today one of the things I had to do was fix up or edit my narrative writing from my recent test. It took quite  while but it makes more sense now. 

One day when this group of teenagers was walking to their house’s one of them, out of the blue Chase said that they should walk into the forest and dare each other stuff. It took them forever to say yes and they finally did. While they began walking they walked into a lot of trees, by now they were all tired of walking. Then out of the blues they came across this weird looking little house. They said to each other that the house may be this famous wizard’s house that heals people, because it looked so much alike. So they went to go nock on the door, the first time they nock no one answer they nock two more times and no one answers so they go in anyways. 

Then, the famous wizard comes out of nowhere thinking that they're there to get healed. When thinking that he shoved them into his house that has turned gigantic, at this point their amazed but also feeling awkward because out of nowhere this tall man shoved  them inside. They are all wondering if they should run out of the house or if they should stay for a little more longer. They all thought for a second. 

One of them thought that if they chose to run he might of locked them all up in a cellar. The curious person in the group was tired and want to see if they could really get healed. While the rest of them blamed Chase for getting them all into it.

In that case if they stay for a little longer they might have a chance of getting out and going home.

Our school's assembly

This morning Pt England school finally an actual school assembly at this assembly Mr Burt an some people from our school about how Mr Burt / our Principle got an award from the Queen. It's the fifteenth of June an it had been 14 or more weeks since we had our last assembly, so I was delighted to come to the assembly especially when team five an I was going sing song for our Principle Mr Burt and his wife Mrs Burt.

We began with a normal assembly, then Mrs Nua came up to welcome the very important people that helps our school they all said a little speech then Pisirina said how thankful an glad we all were to have a Principle like him. After that, Aj (one of our Prefex) said a prayer in honour of this award straight after Aj said the prayer we sang Ufiufi lou agaga.

The thing that I mostly enjoyed at the assembly was sitting down an being able to be with everyone at our school like we used to I liked how our principle got chosen to get an award from the QUEEN. So I'd like to say a BIG thank you to Mr and Mrs Burt because with out them it would to a big difference and we would probably not have Chromebooks.
