Wedding

Wedding

My sister wanted to hold a big wedding in France.  She is 25 years old, and her fiance was 26 years old.  We had the wedding last holiday. When she was getting her make up done, they gave her a red sari to wear. My friends helped us by cooking for people and helping decorate the hall. When she came out of the room people were saying that she was looking so pretty. She was happy, and sad at the same time because she was leaving all of her family member and going to her husband’s house.. Then the bride and the groom sit down in the place where the marriage will start.  

When the marriage starts. We all have to wear our culture’s traditional clothing. After the ceremony, the bride’s family pulls on a feast for the groom’s family. For dinner we serve rice and dal (curry) as the main dish, and roti, chicken, and biryani as the side dishes.  After lunch the guests leave, then the bride’s family and groom’s family share our cultural food called paniyaram. When my sister and her husband leave my mum gave them sweets to wish them happiness. She made, Ladu, Barfi, Gulab,  Jamun, and Pahara for us to eat.

When we finish eating pahar after my sister’s wedding, we went to the Indian tailor shop where we can brought a sari for my sister, as a present because we forgot to give it to her yesterday.  My sister really liked those sari and when she tried it on she looked so beautiful. After that we went home  and mum decided to cook curry to eat for dinner.

When we finished our dinner. Mum was making rice and curry for tomorrow, because my family and I  were going to the temple for prayer, and we have to give food for the god first, after that we can eat our food. When I were leaving I saw a bowl of ladoo and it was so big . I said to my mum “Can you buy ludoo for me when we go shopping?”  She said “Yes”. Then she brought me the ladoo and I shared it with my sister. It was tasty and good to eat.

I really liked my sister wedding in France. The wedding was big and well in France. My friends came to help us by cooking for the guest and helping decorate the hall for the wedding. Then the bride and the groom sit down in the place where the marriage will start. She was feeling happy, and sad at the same time because she had to leave all of her family member and go to her husband’s house.

Vel

My favourite movie is Vel.  The movie have first been shown in November 8. 2007. The director was Hari, the screenplay was Hari, and  film written and directed by Hari and produced by Mohan Natarajan. It stars Suriya and Asin and features Vadivelu, Kalabhavan Mani and Nassar .  

The characters are :

1. Suriya
2. Asin
3. Vadivelu
4. Kalabhavan Mani
5. Laskmui

This movie is the best I have seen in Sri lanka with my family. My favourite actor is Suriya and Asin. I think they are the perfect for the role.  I really like the songs and the fight in the Vel movie.  This movie has been good in Sri Lanka and India. People watch the movie happy and enjoy with their family . Suria has one  brother called Velu. When they were leaving to India they lost him in the train. Another Suriya find him at the shop where he work.  He likes to have his brother back but he doesn't like to go back to them because he had a family so he don't want to leave them. I think this movie is sad a happy to watch because they are sad scene. This movie is interesting  to watch with your family. This movie is rated PGR so you can watch if your age is from 10+

This movie is good to watch.

The fence

The fence

She was thinking of her pet cat, while the cat ran over the road.  She stood by the fence. Her cat didn’t come back to her. When she went to the neighbors to ask if they have seen her cat. He said hadn’t seen itl. She was feeling very sad because she never missed her cat like this before.  She was worried because the cat didn't eat her breakfast.  The neighbors cat called Sally and her cat name is Shala. She was calling their names but they didn’t come.

She was walking slowly around the street looking for the cats and she saw two tails was standing by the another fence.  She went to see it. When she went there she heard a sound kind of like her cat. She went closer there to see what was it. It was her cat and the neighbors’ cat was standing by the fence. She was happy because she found the cats.  She took them and she gave Sally to the neighbours and she took her cat home gave her a fish to eat for lunch.

Saruja- Writing

What is a metaphor?

a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Copy out the metaphor from the poem

When  your lawn is an endless silver sea

List some of the adjectives used:

• Bright
• Night
• World
• Mystery

Think about being outside at night time.  Write another metaphor about  the moon, clouds, wind, cold…

• When I was sleeping at night I was talking with  cold and it was  sitting next to me.
• At night I was talking with the shining moon.
• When I was flying I was sleeping on the clouds
• On Sunday I was playing with the  wind

The gift

The gift

My uncle gave me a gift for my birthday. The wrapping is made out of stars with a red background.  I think that a toy is going to be inside the gift. When the party is over I rushed to the gift and unpacked. Mum asked “What is inside the box?”

I said “I don’t know because I didn’t open it, but it’s probably going to be a toy.”

Mum gave me permission to open the gift.  Inside the gift is a silky red dress. My uncle knew that I wished to have this for so long!  I jumped around with excitement, and wore it straight away.  “I really like your gift!  Thank you!” I said to my uncle.
