India

This is the Taj Mahal it is a ancient temple.

The Taj Mahal looks pink in the morning, white in the day and changes its color to golden in the moon light.
2. The pillars surrounding Taj Mahal are slightly tilted outwards so that in the event of an earthquake they will fall away from the tomb.
3. An identical Taj Mahal was supposed to be built in black marble instead of white. The base of it can still be seen across the river.
4. Over 1,000 elephant were used to transport building materials during the construction.
5. In all, 28 types of precious and semi-precious stones were inlaid into the white marble.

Soccer Tournament

Recently we have had The finals to the Tawa Intermediate soccer tournament 2011. In the finals the classes were RM 5 vs RM 8. All of Huia Syndicate got into the semis but unfortunately only RM 5 got through to the finals. It was an intense finals but sadly Rm 5 Lost which obviously means Rm 8 won.

Dogdeball Tournament 2011 Starts next week.

Thanks

Royal Wedding Similes

Add a simile as a comment to this post describing something to do with the royal wedding.

Explain how your simile works, what is it doing? Does it create an image in the reader's head? How? Does it add more description? How?

E.g.

The Queen looked as fresh and pretty as a daffodil on a spring day.

My simile compares the queen to a daffodil as this is similar to the colour she was wearing. She also looked fresh and new like a spring day.
