If I would be a monster by Maryam Masood

If I would be a monster I would look like a funny monster. I have five red eyes. I had four legs, four hands, four ears and five noses. I would come from a bathroom. I scared everyone. I would make scary noises. I would be scared from sunshine.

Red Car by Maryam Masood

Once upon a time there was a boy named Abid. He was a bad boy. He always played with his red car. One day I invited him to my party. He came with with his red car. He played and played and played with his red car and then he lost it. He looked everywhere and spoiled everything and he even checked the car in the cake and the cake was also spoiled. I told him to go out of my party and my party was spoiled. I was very angry. One day I found his car and I threw it out of my window. He was passing by and he took it. He was very happy but I was sad.

A visit to Manora

It was Sunday after noon  of  18th March 2018 that we visited Manora. We left the society office around 4:30 pm  and reached Keamari. There we parked our car in the parking area. There we got a parking receipt of Rs. 50. The person at parking area note down the number plate of car.
After that we entered the Keamari port. In the waiting area there were pigeons and the sellers were selling caps and glasses. After waiting for a while we boarded a boat. The boat had a place to sit in the upper side as well.  We all went up and sat there. The air was cool and the weather was very pleasant.
Then we started moving towards Manora Island. The boat needed fuel so we first went to get the fuel from another ship. After that started our journey towards Manora. We reached the Manora island. There we had to pay the entry fee. The entree fee for adult was Rs. 100 and for a child was Rs. 20. After entering the Manora premises we tool a Suzuki van where all of us sat inside to take us to the beach of Manora. In the middle there was a military check post. We had to get off from the suzuki and passed through the checking door. There were checking of both males and females visiors in seperetae check post. No foreigners is allowed. The security personnales may ask for the CNIC card from the visiots. So it is important to keep CNIC card while visiting MAnora. After crossing the check post we reach Manora beach. The sun was about to set. We went near the waves and played there,
I went to see the temple at Manora. The temple was locked. I took many pictures from outside. The temple was renovated recently. I asked the shopkeeper of a nearby shop that is there any way I can go inside temple. He told that there is a chokidar names Kishan who has the keys. Well, then I thought lets plan it for some other day as the sun was already set and then we have to go/ back as well. In the meanwhile kids had got all their clothes wet. So tries to find out dried clothes for them/ There in the market there was a shop selling fried clothes. Each cloth was of Rs. 50. I purchased the fried clothes for children, Then we went back to Keamari after the boat ride from Manora.
Then we went to parking lot. Kids changed their clothes in the car. Then we went to the fish market and purchased the fish. Red fish that was of Rs. 1000/kg also we bought prawns for Rs. 1600/kg.
The fish was very good. After eating food we came back to home. The boat ride was of Rs. 3500 round trip.

A new year trip

An unexpected Trip

1^st January 2017

By Naveen Masood

It was 12 in the noon, My father said let’s go for a long drive. We did our breakfast and change our clothes. When our Phuppo went for her home , we sat in our car and went out for the long drive. My sister Maryam was continuously asking where are we going, where are we going. We went to Guru Mandir. My father, mother and grandmother ate Chat at Delhi Chat House and all our siblings ate ice cream. Oh I loved the pineapple ice cream. My sister and I saw fishes then we sat in a car and went to Native Jetty bridge. We saw mangroves forest. We also saw Bahria Icon Tower. When we reached Kemari fish smell was coming. Then we went to Boat Basin, Over there my father asked the price of the fish it was too expensive so we did not buy it. When my father started the car it did not start. Then, thanks God it started. My father bought French fries from Tipu Burger and Broast and a large bottle of cold drink. I loved the taste of french fries but they were not spicy.Then I drank cold drink. Then we started going back to home. Recently in Regent Plaza there was fire , we saw Regent Plaza all the windows were broken, I felt sad. My father told it was closed because there was no security. Then we came back. I loved this trip.  

Canoeing

Today Bilal showed me the passage of comprehension that came in his examination. The comprehension was about a boy who had attended a summer camp that he did not enjoy much earlier. However after sometimes he told the counselor of summer camp what he wanted. There he told him that what he wanted in canoeing. I asked Bilal if he knew about canoeing. He said no. There in the passage it was mentioned that the boy did not want to sit in the bow of the canoe and that he would try to sit in the stern and take the role of stern paddler.

What we found out was that the bow is front part of the canoe while stern is the back of canoe.

So, we decided to find out more about the canoe. The following picture was very useful that was found from the website.




The video also shows a girl doing stern paddling.

The website has a lot of information on canoeing.

Bilal's write up on Keti Bandar

I was sleeping; a voice came; Nawaal, Naveen, do you want to go to Keti Bandar, I woke up and saw that Maryam was sitting on the sofa. My father was praying Namaz. I saw the clock it was 6:09 am. I changed my clothes. My cousin Afrin Adil Shaikh was with us. Everyone was changing clothes but I was done. I was going down as I remembered my hat. I wore my hat and went down. My father gave me a cloth to wipe car's window. Then we began to move. First we stopped at a Shells's petrol pump. Then we went to Malir. It was traffic as we dont expect as it will be. Then we reached National Highway. We take a picture. I was too foggy that something white was coming out of our mouth. Then Maryam said I wanted to do "potty". Then we stopped at the petrol pump. My father asked to a man is there any washroom. He said yes. Then my mom took Maryam with her. But Maryam didn't do anything. Then we reached to a town. It was too much foggy, we took photos. I remember the towns that we reached : Gharo, Sakro, Buharo, Garho and the last we reached Keti Bandar. We sat in the boat first. First I was scared. We also saw dolphins. We stopped at an island. It was too much deep when we were going my father went for washroom. Then we went back home.
