My Imaginary World

(My story was inspired by a Song and a TV series)
 

Day One

 On a plane to Sertabia (a country in my mind), our  plane gets caught in a storm. I am the co-pilot and I inform every body that we are unfortunately going to crash  into the sea of Sertabia, but will be able to survive  for a few days, because there are many little islands close by. We crash and everybody lives but the pilot. Then, we swim to an island and get rescued by a passing plane.  





Day Two

We  finally land in Sertabia and I travel with my fellow passengers to a small town called Wayward Pines. I go to Donkey Inn to see if I can check in.  This was a horribly scary inn and I decide not to check in with the others.  I walk down the main street and notice another hotel - Hotel California and decide to check in there.







Day Three

I check out of Hotel California but the door to leave is locked.The lobby man says you can check out anytime but you can never leave. "How do I get out of here?" I say to myself. Suddenly I have an idea. I choose to check in again and this time I ask for the pent house. In the penthouse, there is a "BALCONY". I open the balcony door and jump off.....you guessed right......I luckily had a parachute. I make a dash for the airport but now there was no airport in Wayward Pines. I ask somebody, " How do I get out of here?" He ignores me!  







Day Four

 I run to the train station and ask for a train ticket to Manack. I pay for the ticket and board the  train to Manack. It stops at Wayward Pines again!  I then fix upon the helipad and try to get a helicopter. However, there is no one there and I don' t have the keys! I end up waiting there for 2 hours....and finally I see a pilot approaching.  I wait for him to come closer and  then punch him unconscious. I grab his  keys and fly out of Wayward Pines. I successfully reach Manack and catch a flight from there to Sethy country....never to visit Sertabia again!

Jurrasic world movie review


Jurassic World is a 3D thriller movie
 that was released in 2015. It stars mainly 
Chris Pratt as Owen, the velociraptor trainer, 
and the 'Indominous Rex' as the antagonist.                                                        
                                                                                                                    

The plot involves the Indominous Rex who escapes captivity and makes a mess in Jurassic World (a theme park). The story reveals some of the genes that are used to create the Indominous Rex. Other dinos with Owen  try to stop the Indominous Rex....but can they stop him before Jurassic World breaks down?



Certain fun and thrilling aspects of the movie is that it is shot in Jurassic World, which is a fun park. There is a creation lab that produces new dino species by inserting genes from other animals. One of  my personal favourites, the  Mosasaurus,is a water show superstar. The movie also features a unique mode of transportation within specific sectors - the gyrosphere, a big rotating bullet proof ball!                                                                  
                                                        


I would highly recommend that you watch Jurassic World because it will keep you biting your nails till the very end!


A MUST SEE!

Hi,

I love poetry! Poetry month was an exciting month...I explored so many poems and learned about so many poets. I also learned how to define GENRE - a category for classifying literary works.

Mum and Dad recorded me reciting my favourite narrative poem - The Owl and The Pussycat. It was easy to remember the poem..but difficult to speak slowly.

Hope you like my video..

Goa-ing Crazy!


GOA HERE I COME!

Today I am going to be talking about my trip to Goa:

November 25th - This was the start of our vacation - it started with a train journey.


November 26th - We arrived at Margaon Staion (here is how you pronounce the word  MUD-GOW). We then caught another train to Tivam, a taxi ride from there to Vagator - Bethay INN. We had breakfast at Mango Tree (it was disappointing!).





November 27th -The next morning we had breakfast at a new place called Jaws. It was delicious. We brought snacks from Jaws to the beach. Cade and Dad went parasailing. I built sandcastles and Mum and I climbed a steep slippery big rock on the beach. This was the day I invented my new word -Swalking (Swimming + Walking)





























  November 28th - We got up early and were driven to Candolim boat jetty and caught a boat to Monkey Island. On the way we saw a pod of dolphins, went snorkeling and had a barbecue lunch on the island. On the island we met a group of people from Arabia. One of them challenged me to a race with some other contestants. They were adults and I was just a little kid... I lost the race but I won a hundred rupees. So I feel I still won!























November 29th - We got up early and climbed a steep hill to Chapora Fort. There were towers, the entrance was like a cell door and one could have seen enemies attacking. We had dinner at Souza Lobo and went to Mackies Saturday Night Bazaar. At the bazaar, I bargained with a man who was selling quartz. He wanted 600 rupees (that was all of my pocket money) and I offered a hundred. He said no, so I walked away, then he called out '400 Boss!' ... I shook my head... then he called out '300 Boss!'.. I just kept walking .... then he shouted out '200 Boss' and I said only 100. He said 'Ok boss!'. I bought the quartz and gave it to Cade as his birthday present, because he loves rocks and wants to become a geologist.















November 30th -

We went to St. Francis Xavier's church and some other churches. It was a very tiring day and I nearly fell asleep on the bike











 
December 1st -

Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee!!

It was Cade's birthday. We had a surprise cake for Cade at Jaws. Then we went to Morjim beach and ended it with the Goa vs. Northeast football aka soccer match at night. It was AMAZING! Goa won and they deserved it!

Football Fans!














December 2nd - We went to small Vagator beach and spent the whole day there. I went bogey boarding with mum and dad. Cade had a ear infection and had to stay out of the water for that day :(



 December 3rd - We learned how to surf. That was so cool! It was very difficult. Our instructor was from Sweden. He has been practising to surf for a year and he's still a beginner. I only managed to balance with my hands the board. Cade did better ... he was able to balance on his knees. We went bogey boarding, boxing, trampolining (my new word), played beach volley ball and Dad and Cade played with the frisbee.


















December 4th - We had another wonderful day at the beach. This was our last day of the vacation :(

December 5th - We ate breakfast at Jaws. I said bye to Kayden  and Mel who I met in Goa and played with. We then took a cab to Margaon station and started our train journey back home to Bangalore.

Thank you for reading my blog. GOA -D - Bye!

Fun Day - Halloween


Hi, my name is Seth. I am seven years old and today I'm going to share with you what I did on Halloween. Halloween falls on October31st. 

Jack-o-Lantern
I invited two friends - Raghav and Samudra to my little Halloween party. Dad and Mum bought a pumpkin in the morning. Dad drew faint lines on the pumpkin to divide it into 4  parts. Then one at a time we drew a scary face on the pumpkin. Dad, Mum and Aunty Sangeetha cut out the faces we drew, and then we had the scariest Jack-o-Lantern I've ever seen. We had scooped out all the pumpkin threads and seeds from the center and put in a candle and lit it.

The Other Face
We invented a game called 'Super Human Zombies'. We danced to Michael Jackson, Nickelback, Iron Maiden, Gummy Bear, Jerry Lewis, Crazy Frog and others. Dinner was ordered from Chungwa and we ate Chinese. We  taught Raghav and Samudra how to eat with chopsticks. Then we had strawberry cupcakes with jelly beans and chocolate pudding and jelly. 



Raghav stayed back for a sleep over and we watched two movies - 'The Little Mermaid' and 'Paranorman'. It was a scary, rainy, zombie-fying night.
