Heather’s Day Off
‘Right now everybody, please turn to page four hundred and forty nine of your Maths text books please.’ Said Mr Smith.
Heather walked into class while putting her make-up on.
‘Where have you been?’ Mr Smith questioned her.
What’s it to you?’
‘I’ll ask you again.’ Mr Smith was showing a little bit of anger in his voice.
‘Lots of places. I went to Queensland last week, oh and I saw The Living End live.’
‘Go and get a late pass and take that make-up off, it makes you look cheap.’
‘Are you saying i’m ugly? Well so are you.’ She stormed out of the room.
When Heather returned with a late pass, Mr Smith told her to sit by the window.
‘I can sit wherever I want thank you very much.’
‘If you keep up this behaviour i’m sending you to the Principle’s office. How would you like that?’
‘Well it wouldn’t be so bad actually, at least I could look at the pictures of his cute sons who are fouteen to fifteen years of age.’
‘I’ve met them and they’re not interested in girls like you.’
‘Well at least they’re better than your sons who are like pure nerds.’
‘Right i’ve had enough of you, go to the Principle’s office. Mr Smith shouted.
Heather knocked on the Principle’s door.
‘Come in,’ he shouted.
Heather handed the note written by Mr Smith.
After the Principle had read it, he said, ‘You’ll be writing lines for the rest of the period.’
‘Oh that’s stupid, you know I can speak English, it’s just that I don’t want to do what you say, at least i’m an individual. If I told you to jump off a cliff would you do it? No cause you wouldn’t want to would you?’
‘Would you rather do Maths work then?’
‘Nah.’
‘Say no properly.’
‘Look it’s my slang, I guess you’re just too locked up in you’re office to discover the real world.’
“Listen…’
The telephone rang and the Principle answered it.
A few minutes later he left the room.
Heather noticed that because it was a hot day, the Principle had left the window open.
She pushed it open just enough so she could fit through.
Once she had got through, she quickly ran out of the school grounds.
When she got home she called her band mates, who were also wagging from a different school, and told them that she’d meet them at Main Street.
She got changed into black pants, a short black skirt with a chain dangling down, a black top, high heels, a necklace with a guitar on it and some nice chunky earrings.
While she was waiting for the others to arrive, she started playing some songs on her electric guitar to passers by.
When her mates arrived, they started jamming, with her singing, the guys doing back up vocals, and playing instruments such as bass, lead guitar and drums.
They did songs such as Smoke On The Water, Back In Black, Sk8er Boi, Enter Sandman, Smells Like Teen Spirit, and some of their originals.
What Heather forgot was that her mom was having coffee with her friends at a cafe just nearby.
Once her mom had finished, she left the cafe and saw her daughter jamming with her band when she was supposed to be at school.
She stormed over and asked her what she was doing.
‘Busted.’ A guy called Jared said, who was the lead guitarist.
‘I’m… just… chilling with my band.’
‘And why aren’t you at school.’
‘Cause today was a Curriculum Day for all state schools and we forgot.’
‘You silly kids, anyway, keep jamming it’s awesome.’
‘Ha ha ha,’ they all laughed suttlely.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Movie Questions!
Dear Miss Pryor,
Here are some posts of the “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” work!
The time line is on the school computer.
1. How does Ferris convince his parents that he is sick?
He makes himself have a temperature and acts crazy like a little kid.
2. Describe Cameron in detail.
Cameron is thin with brown short hair, he is single, and has problems with the relationship he has with his father.
3. Do the students at Ferris’s school enjoy class?
Explain your answer
No, because the Maths teacher is extremely boring.
4. Do you think Ferris will marry Sloan? Why or why not?
No, I could be wrong but I got the impression that Sloan was trying to hit on
Cameron, because when she asked him, ‘Did you see me get changed?’ he
said yes, and then she replied, ‘I’m not embarrassed.’
I know I’d be embarrassed if it he was a male friend on mine.
5. Explain Cameron’s relationship with his father.
Cameron said that he didn’t get along with his father because he didn’t love Cameron’s mother and was only interested in his car, even though he had never driven it.
6. Explain what you think the message of the movie is.
I think the message of the movie is a challenge to see if someone could manage a whole day off school doing extreme things like what Ferris did, and not be caught for it!

My Neighbour’s Drama Concert
Last Friday night I went to my neighbours Drama Concert in Upwey.
There were a range of acts from junior, intermediate and senior classes.
Some kids did a play on ‘Hairy Maclary From Donaldson’s Dairy’, some did one called, ‘A walk in the park,’ some did a play called, ‘Detention,’ and many more!!!!
My favourite play was the one called ‘detention,’ cause they wrote it themselves and it’s about school students having to go to detention.
It included some basic characters like a nerd, popular girls, a gothic person, a shy girl, and a boyfriend and girlfriend who had split up.
It was like the best ever and the acting was great!!!!!!!!
Some of the actresses I reconized from the Primary School I used to attend, and it was great to watch them.
My neighbour actually recieved a medal, like everyone who participated did, plus a Trophe!!!!!
I was soooooooooo happy for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD ON Ya!!!!
She deserved that award because she told me she filled in for someone in a play at the last minute, cause the girl dropped out!!!!!
And she learnt all those lines in 2 weeks!!!!!!
It was a great night and i’m proud that all of them had the guts to get up on stage and perform in front of their friends and family.
Keep up the acting guys!!!!!
