 He was very very poor, he had no family at all.  One day when Khali was walking back
to his house then he found 50 dollars lying down on the path, once he picked it up he felt so
happy, he went to the market and bought a lamp a golden lamp.  He took it back home and
looked and stared at it for hours, then he rubbed it, then all of a sudden a genie showed out of
nowhere. Khali was so thrilled and excited so much, the genies name was Eazy he said,
 ''I will grant you three wishes''.  Khali was really excited he thought about alot of wishes.
So his first wish was, ''I wish I could be really rich'', so Eazy said, ''your first wish is granted''.  
 Then Khali said, ''I wish I could think of a wish'' Then Eazy ''said your second wish is granted''
After Khali said no no no.  Then he thought really really hard, then he said I got a wish. Then he said I
wish could have 1 million wishes.  Then Eazy said ''your third wish is granted'' in a thrilled voice.

 Then he lived in a rich house and a dwarf family.

Trikids


Last Friday P.B.S had a triathlon, but for kids trikids everybody was pumped, some of the people had their togs. Some people participated for going to final, some people didn’t bring their togs so they still did it but they had to run instead of sliding on the water slide.  Room 8 was first they had to challenge their own class, when they found their  bikes they jogged down to the water slide so the man said ready steady go!
When they started everybody cheered them on as they raced.  They were tied neck to neck but gohzan won. Class after another challenging each other, when the finals finished we thanked the guys who helped us and ezy peezy, then we went back to our classes.

Outcomes of bullying




If you are bullied tell the teacher or your parents or stay away from that person that
is bullying you.  Ignore their messages online or on your phone, don’t fight
back to the bully.  Stand up to the bully, don’t be alone when you’re standing up to the bully.
