Poem Chapter 8

In the auditorium everyone sat,

It was hot and steamy , the girls loved to chat.
Coleen Lori and Malinda laughed
When Coleen caught Jeff in the bathroom they gasped.

Lori and Melinda were giggling

As jeff’s mind was wiggling
Jeff and Bradley turned around
As Lory and Melinda were very loud

Jeff found it very funny

that Coleen thought he was cute like a bunny
Bradley looked like a blackberry
As he became red like a cherry

Jeff was in the girls’ bathroom they said

And he almost buried his head
Bradley thinks it's very cool
As Jeff suddenly doesn't feel like a fool

Leo, a bear named Burt, a wolf named Will, and a fox named Fin. One day, a young boy
named Yonatan stumbled upon the forest while exploring. He was lost and scared, but
the four animals decided to help him find his way back home.

Leo, the lion, offered to be the leader of the group and guide them through the forest.
Burt, the bear, offered to be the protector and keep them safe from any danger. Will, the
wolf, offered to use his keen sense of smell to track Yonatan's scent. And Fin, the fox,
offered to use his quick thinking to find shortcuts and avoid obstacles.

Together, the four animals and Yonatan set off on their journey. They encountered many
challenges, such as steep cliffs, deep rivers, and dark caves. But, with Leo's courage,
Burt's strength, Will's sense of smell, and Fin's intelligence, they were able to overcome
each and every obstacle.

Finally, after hours of walking, they reached the edge of the forest. Yonatan was
overjoyed and thanked the animals for their help. He realized that bravery comes in
many forms, and that even the smallest and seemingly weakest creature can be a hero.

Leo, Burt, Will and Fin, were proud of their achievement and they felt that they were

Hi my name is Bradley Chalkers and I get bullied. Do you know what the
biggest killer in the world is? Loneliness!
22 % of kids get bullied! That's a big amount of bullying, bullying causes
loneliness and depression. Bullying can kill and it does kill. Would you like
your kid to get bullied? I assume the answer is no, do you think it's fair?
We have to make a change for our safety!
When the bullies get older they are going to continue bullying and they're
going to end up in jail because of lack of education. Being a Bully is like
being a killer.
270 kids a year kill themselves because of bullying.
The main doctor of the UK said “loneliness is one of the worst things and
the worst diseases you can have!”
Do you think it's ok that this amount of people kill themselves ? No, I think
bullying causes death and depression. So if you see or notice a kid being
lonely and being bullied please try to be nice and help him, you don't know
what he is going through. Kids and all people shouldn’t be treated badly !
In many countries in the world school is for kids who come from hard
places with no money. School is their safe place - they need to feel safe at
school.
I think most people would not like to get bullied.

Thank you,
Bradley Chalkers
