The mountains look beautiful under the sky. All I see is the ocean in the distance. On the mountain there are trees, in the water there are boats coming back to shore. I was feeling the hot summer sun on my back as I tanned.

I'm Lydia and I live in a house with my best friend Allison. we have a cat called Carrot, we call her that because she is orange and we dyed her fur green for Christmas. We live really close to the shore and every night we go to sleep while listening to the waves crash. Last night we heard foot steps coming from the padeo and it sounded like someone was breaking in.  

Allison and I were pretty frightened so we went down stairs to see what is happening, but before we reached the end off the stairs we see a tall man dressed in black trying to break in to our house. Allison runs up the stairs to call the police and I figure out a way to defend myself. Allison runs back and says the police are about 5 minutes away. As she was saying that the tall man dressed in black opens the door and invites himself into our house.

As he walked in our house the police show up. The tall man in black heard the sirens and tried to run out the door he came from, the police caught him and arrested him. They started questioning him and asked why he was trying to break in. He was not responding so the police took him to the station and we could happily go to sleep.  

Have a good day! :)

Dream Holiday!

Today we are blogging about where we want to go for our dream holiday. I really want to go Bora Bora because it is such a beautiful place. Bora Bora in a small South Pacific Island Northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia. Bora Bora is surrounded by Sand Fringed motus and Turquoise lagoon protected by coral reef. Bora Bora is known for their scuba diving. It's also a popular luxury resort destination where some guest bungalows are perched over the water on stilts.



Otemanu is a mountain in Bora Bora. It is one of the two peaks of an extinct volcano located in the centre of the Island. One peak of the mountain is called Mount Otemanu and the other is call Mount Pahaia. This is the only Island that is a perfect score of a ten on the amazement scale by tourists.



Bloody Mary's is one of the Pier's in Bora Bora. It is also a Club Yacht, Restaurant and etc. It's not only a Restaurant though it can be toured by tourist. You can experience walking on sand floors, sitting on coconut stools under a thatched roof and you are surrounded by exotic plants.

Dance

Dance is my favourite sport, I do Jazz, Contemporary and Hip Hop. About a month ago I had my exams. Exams is where you learn heaps of syllabus work. Syllabus work is heaps of short dances and partner work. This year we had a really tough examiner, she was looking for everything we missed, all the technique we added and stuff like that. I had 3 exams and I got top marks for my Hip Hop and I am really proud of myself. I got 3rd marks for Jazz and 2nd for Contemporary. 

After we had our exams we move on to show work. At the end of every year we have a show at the Middleton Grange Theatre. There is heaps of dances we need to learn and I am in the middle of learning 4 dances. The names of those dances are Western, Plain Bellied, Hooded and Hip Hip VS Classical. For the Hip Hip VS Classical I am in the Hip Hop part because I'm not a Classical person. Western and Plain Bellied is more of a Hip Hop Jazz type dance and they are really fun dances to be in. Hooded is a Hip Hop dance and for me so is Hip Hip VS Classical. 

I love to even watch dance I watch it all the time. I really enjoy watching Dance Moms when I'm not dancing around the house at home, but sometimes I will watch any dance video I see. 

Pizza (Foods tech)

Today in Tech we made Pizza's. 

The steps are 

1.  Get your pizza base.

2. Put Pizza sauce on it.

3. Get your toppings.

4. Put cheese + toppings on.

5. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes on 180 degrees on fan bake.

Then take it out of the oven and time to EAT. 

I really liked my Pizza because Pizza is my favourite food. My pizza was pretty basic the toppings I had were just Cheese, Salami and Ham but I still liked it.
