Tribe's Philosophy
The Beach Geeks, our tribe is very unique to any other person. We have our own set of rules and if we don't follow those rules we get kicked out of our tribe. Our favourite things to do are surfing and reading and we love to wear swimmers, beach shorts and all of us love wearing thongs and absolutely hate wearing high hells because all of the sand gets in our shoes and it is really hard to take out. The Beach Geeks are also rebels we never listen to the law and if the beach says its closed cause of a big rip we think of it as an adventure for our surfing times. We also have to read a book a week which we rent out from our local library and which we are all members of. We are all also members of the surf lifesaving committee. Our tribe is also fun and adventurous and never take NO for an answer.

Lost - Short Story English
The Kennedy family was filled with excitement and anticipation about their upcoming trip to Fiji in 3 days time. Their son Mathew (a red haired boy who loved adventure) and their daughter Lily (a blonde haired girl who was shy and loved to read) were so excited about the Holiday they couldn’t wait. Their parents David (a brown haired man who was laid back) and Kelly (a blond haired woman who was extremely girly) were excited as well.
They were so excited when they arrived in Fiji, the weather was so hot and the water was so beautiful that David suggested that they take a boat out to an island off Fiji and do some snorkelling, whilst having dinner David asked a waiter for his advice as to where they should go, and he gave them a phone number of a man named Mr. Bulla Bulla. After dinner and whilst the kids were sleeping David called up Mr. Bulla Bulla and asked him if he could organise a boat trip.
Mr. Bulla Bulla said “no problem i will pick you up at 5am in front of your hotel the Ratilava Bulla Bulla International hotel in the morning.” David and Kelly were so excited and couldn’t wait to surprise the kids; no-one knew what a surprise they would all be in for.
The alarm went “beep beep, beep beep” at 4am and Kelly wrestled David to wake up, after a sleepy coffee they woke a cranky Mathew and Lily and explained to them the wonderful day that lay ahead. The doorbell rang and outside was the big figure of Mr. Bulla Bulla
He said “Come on people we have snorkelling to do, boats to catch and barbeques to eat.” Mathew and Lily were ecstatic
“Thanks mum and dad, what a great surprise, should we bring our flippers?” said Lily
“Of course” said Mathew.
Two hours later they arrived at the most amazing dive spot they had ever seen in their lives, they were all so excited as they put on their masks and flippers.
Mr Bulla Bulla said” Dive in, have fun and i’ll be waiting when your finished with that the Kennedy family dive into the crystal blue waters.
“HAHA” said Mr. Bulla Bulla, “I have passports and wallets! Goodbye Kennedy family hello to my new found wealth!”
One hour later the Kennedy crew surfaced from an amazing snorkelling experience to find, no boat, no Mr.Bulla Bulla, no barbeque, no passports and money and no land.
“Oh my god” said Kelly “it’s all your fault David, How are we going to get home?” Both Mathew and Lily looked at their parents as they fought. The sun was starting to go down
When Lily said “are there any sharks around here dad?”
Everybody went quiet as a fin came up behind Kelly, David screamed louder than anybody as the fin went past Kelly
“Calm down” yelled Lily
“It’s a dolphin, and look over there I can see a boat coming this way.”
Everybody waved and yelled until the boat pulled up next to us, they pulled us up into the boat and as we all sat down and caught our breath
The Captain said “You didn’t come out here with Mr. Bulla Bulla did you?”
“Yes” said David, the captain laughed and said “you are the third family we’ve picked up today.”
David said “Next time i will book our snorkelling trip at the lobby.”
After a long discussion with the police, the waiter and Mr. Bulla Bulla were arrested and the Kennedy’s family’s passports and wallets were returned.
