Narrative Writing
Yipee! Pirate Mark shouted. He felt happy because him and his crew were going to an island to search for the treasure that they have been looking for 2 months. The whole crew was woken up by the loud storm. Pirate Mark’s beard was as long as a giraffe's neck. In the crew there are three other pirates, their names are Campbell, Robert and Collier. They’re all brother’s to Mark. When they got woken up by the loud noise Collier fell of his bed same as Mark. The storm was as loud as a enormous crowd of teenages screaming for Nicki Minaj.
The Easter Story
The Easter Story
Easter Sunday commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the most important Christian celebration. The date of Easter Sunday changes every year, and that changes the date of all the important holy days that come before Easter. It falls between late March and late May. Easter is so important because Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead, two days after he died on the cross. Jesus’ dead body was buried in a cave on Good Friday and two days later the stone that covered the cave’s entrance had been moved and Jesus’ body had gone. Various people saw Jesus in the following days and his followers understood God had raised him from the dead. Historians say this happened sometime between 26 and 36 AD.
People celebrate Easter in many ways around the world. It is a very busy time for churches. Many Christians light a special Pascal candle on the evening before Easter. This represents the rising of Christ. There are special songs and hymns which people sing in church. Children like Easter because their parents and grandparents give them chocolate Easter eggs, a sign of new birth. Schoolchildren usually decorate eggs and display them in their school or give them as gifts. Other things associated with Easter are the Easter Bunny and spring flowers like irises. An unusual Easter tradition in Norway is to solve murder mysteries at Easter. Television channels show murder mystery shows.
