LOve Love has its moments Love is up and it is down Love is'nt always a fairytale But at least when im sad I will always have you !! The Ultimate Party planning Guide..

If you are planning a awesome party and need some help, read this.

First of all you need to know what the theme is there is a wide range or themes some of the best themes are: Party Themes *Glamour *Las Vegas *Halloween *Hollywood *Glow in the dark *Candy land *Winter dream.

Colour themes If you don't want a theme for your party you can just have a colour theme, here are some good colours that go well together.

Lime Green yellow * Hot pink white black Pink purple * Pink purple blue * Red black silver * Pink purple blue ﻿Lime Green

When it comes to a theme you need to be creative and think what suits you and what you will think is fun. The next to organise is where the party will be happening, for example a pool, hire a room somewhere, your house, back yard etc if you want to have a dance party it's best to have alot of room so people don't hit things. Amount of people attending is one of the main things because you need to know how much food you will need, how much things you will need if you are going to have party give bags ( gift bag aren't just for little kids but for all ages).Be creative you don't always just have to use those little plastic bags but you could use stuff like, Little tins, noodle boxes, paper bags, boxes and much more always keep your eyes open for things that you could use for your party

Good items to have in a gift bag. Goodie/gift bag:

*Glow Sticks *Nail Polish *Vouchers *Chocolate *Lollies *Rose or flowers *Bouncy ball *small bath set *some lip gloss *a cd *some bath fizzies *earings *gel pens *body glitter *makeup *stationary *notebooks

The next thing to organise for the your party is how many people are coming. Once you have decided this then you need to sort out the invites. Its best to have the invites the same colours that you have picked for your theme. Its also cool to give the people that are coming to your party something to go along with the invitation.

Thing to give with invitations: *Candy Land Theme: Lollypop or candy, candy floss *Small flower *Las Vegas:Poker Chips, Martini class',Poker Chip cookies, feather Boas *Winter dream: Crystal, Scarf, snow men cookies *Glamour: Jewellery, Sparkles, Diamonds (fake), Sashes with quest name *Halloween: Vampire teeth, Ghost biscuits *Hollywood: Star with Guests name on it, Cameras, *Glow in the dark: Glow Sticks, Glow in the dark paint

Glitter sparkeld on the tables also looks awesome *Winter Dream: Silver Glitter, White helium balloons, streamers. And fake snow looks really pretty too. *Glamour: For colour themes it is best to have light colours like pink, white, baby blue, silver, light yellow and so on, when you think of glamour you think of, Jewellery, Feather boas and martinis. *Halloween: Spider webs, pumpkins, which pots, and fake steam. *Hollywood: Red carpet on the ground, velvet ropes, Gold glitter on tables, Hollywood sign *Glow in the dark: Glow in the dark paint and glow in the dark sticks.

18.09.10 I like how you have a sub heading for Colour Themes. If you have a sub heading here you should have one for the other themes too. When you make your list you need to be consistent with capital letters. Either have them or don't have them (unless it is a proper noun of course). Good on you for trying a different type of writing. Miss Paterson

Affraid!!

Not looking down, My head upways, I peek down through the crack in the old, wood, wharf floor, dodging the holes, looking at the fish that swim below me, the black water is crashing against the side, I am to scared to walk on, Not wanting to go back, not wanting to go forward, I stand there and scream for my dad

This poem is about me when I was little, when I went to the wharf with my dad and I pretty much used to hate it.

8/09/10 I can feel your fear when I read this. I wonder if you could polish it by experimenting with the third line. You mention down further that the wharf is wooden so you don't need to mention it twice really unless you want an emphasis on that. Miss Paterson

My name was Sarah Jones, I was only fourteen. I was a rather __quite__ girl, didn't really say much. It was either I didn't have anything good to say, I was never heard or I would be hit for what would have just been said. This happened alot, my mother, Jessica Jones (maybe a bit of a description here would be good to give us a vision of this character and her personality) didn't know what my life was like, well half of it anyway, she would always just see me as a happy little girl that I pretended to be, but she didn't she how I was actually feeling. Gaven Jones, maybe a bit of a description here too. If you want to build the picture of his personality later you could still give us a physical image of him) that was my dad, well he was half of the problem and the other half, the kids at school.

I would come home in the afternoon with a black eye or scratches all down my face, the teachers never bothered to ask me what happened anymore beacuse they would know that I would lie or change the subject. But my mother on the other hand worries too much about me, it sometimes gets on my nerves, she would always nag at me about how bad it is todo things and to always work hard at school, I would just sit there with my headphones in my ears, ipod blaring, while holding my phone in my other hand and just nod and say " yeah whateva you say". I had good grades, which I found weard coming from a background like mine.

12 July, Tuesday 2009, 11:47pm I could'nt sleep, the only thing that was going through my mind was that tomorrow will be three months that I have gone with my best friend, Emma Krissy. No she didn't move away "he" got her, suddenly I began to cry, flashbacks of what Emma would tell me, she would whisper to me at school " those messages won't stop coming, last night when I was walking home it was black, dark and scary, I was walking down the road, the street lights flashing, and then then then.....", I would try and tell Emma that it was alright and to continue with her story, she would just burst out in tears, she then would fastly say" I heard footsteps..... it, it was him". At this point I just thought she was speaking aload of ball.... well obviously I was wrong.

13 May, Tuesday 2009, 10:49pm I received a text message, slowly reaching for it next to my bed, clutching it, and reading the text, it was Emma she wanted me to go and see her. I new my parents wouldn't let me so i decided to sneak out. Pulling as hard as I could, I threw open the window and jumped out, my barefeet touched the frosty, green grass, not having time to shut the window I ran, I ran as fast as I could. Emma didn't live very far from me, just as I reached her house I recieved a new text message, reading the words Emma wrote " I am not at my house I am at the park". The park isn't very far for mine and Emma's house, I decided to walk, whilest walking I thought isn't it weard that I recived a text just as I reached Emma's house, it was like I was being watched. The park drew closer, I strolled over to the huge oak tree where I saw Emma sitting, I yelled out "Emma! Hey!" but there was no reply, i thought this was weard but as i drew closer I relised that something wasn't right. Not completed yet :)

Onomatopoeia Show not tell Poem. Click goes the seatbelt, Rawr goes the motor,

crunch goes the tires on the gravel, screach goes the brakes,

Bang on the window , Splat goes the rabit.

__My quote Life__

Is like a mountain it will always have its ups and downs. But if we did not have mountains in our lives we would be able to see what lies ahead of us. Life is great and beautiful! So are moutains!

 * //What a lovely way of thinking of things Alex. I have underlined 'is' because 'is' usually is used when you are talking about one thing and you are talking about more than one mountain. Miss Paterson // **======
