Student #1:

Hi my name is Chloe, this story is about my 3 siblings and how we play with each other. Plus their names
are Maia ( who is my older sister), Amelia ( who is my younger sister) and Henry (the cutest of the lot
and my baby brother) Enjoy😊! 
One day I was playing with my little sister, Amelia, and suddenly my older, teenage sister, Maia, walked
into the room.  Maia asked, "Can I play with you guys?" Amelia said, "yes!" A few moments later, Maia
asked me if we could play outside and well Amelia and I thought it was a great idea. Of course we
said, "Yes that is an marvelous idea!"  We danced a bit, played tag, and other sorts of games, but Maia
started to say mean words that hurt my feelings. So mean I said, "That's it! I don't want to play
anymore!" I ran back into the house and started to cry because I was super upset!  
 
I just played with my toys for a little bit until I saw Amelia stroll into the room. I asked Amelia if she
wanted to play with me again and she said, "Yes!" We played together and had heaps of fun, but
suddenly Maia walked straight into the room and said "Hey! Can I play too?" When Amelia and I said no
to her, she was furious as the wind on a windy day and said "You guys are always playing together and I
really want to play!" Suddenly, I walked straight over and my hand went up and slap! I slapped Maia as
hard as I could and like a lightning bolt, I said, "We already told you we don't want to play with you!"
Right after I said that Amelia and Maia left the scene and then I got put in time out for slapping her. I
was in time out for a long time. I eventually apologized to everybody when I finally got taken out of time
out. I just played with Amelia for a little while until... Mum shouted, "Can somebody look after Henry?!" 
I rushed out and played with Henry.   
 
I had fun playing with Henry but he was starting to get annoying. I gave him to Maia, but Maia put him in
the playpen. When I saw Henry crying, because he did not want to be in the play pen by himself, I picked
him up and played with him. He cheered up and pushed the toy tractor while making car noises. Henry is
always really cute and I really enjoy playing with him. I can't wait until Henry is old enough to play
games, like tag, with me!  
 
Overtime Henry is getting stronger, bigger and smarter, although he is only 1.  I love that Henry likes
going to the beach and playing in sandpits because then I can make a sand castle with Amelia and
Henry. Sometimes Maia builds sand castles, too. It is great to have siblings because I am almost never
lonely  (I also don't get a lot of privacy with siblings). I always have a friend and although we don't get
along, I will always love them since they always seem to make me smile (and laugh!). Although siblings
fight sometimes, it is so nice to play, laugh and be silly together! That is why they love each other as
much as their parents!   

Student #2:
A  person that change me 
                        On the first day of school, everything's new! I tie my hair with  red ribbon and wear my
uniform! There're many new friends. There comes Olivia with her little Mary (her doll), Tracy with her Lili
Grande (her toy horse) and Jessica with her mom. Olivia give me a big hug,  "Hey Angela! Do you know
there's a new girl called Kate? Oh! Never mind, she is a creepy witch so you do not play with her."   
"But I think she's really cool! Besides, how do you know about her?" I asked. 
"Oh! Forgot to tell you. She's my creepy cousin!"     
Kate  the little girl with small lips, wide eyes  and brown hair. She's the only girl who play  with the boys!
In Kindergarten, boys and girls are "enemies" [because we're still too young], but I am glad at she is
brave to make friend  with the boys. 
                                          On the first day of Kindergarten, I play with my new friends  but without  Kate. None of
the girls would like to play with Kate.  They thought that she was a bad girl, an evil witch,  a terrible
person!  I do not think so. I would like to play with her, but I cannot.  The girls said  "If you play with that
witch, we will never play with you anymore!" Of course I do not want to lost any friend. After class, I go
behind Kate, smiling  "Hi! How're you doing?" Lucus, the boy with a strange purple hat  run to her and
shout  "Hey! Kate! Let's go play my new robots!" Kate doesn't reply  me and go with Lucus. I felt very sad. 
                                          I went home and tell my mom what happened. My mom smiling, looking at me  "Oh!
My little sweetheart, everyone have their own friend, don't mind it. Maybe she'll play with you
tomorrow!"  I closed my eyes and though  "Kate loves robots but I loves dolls, so what if she doesn't like
me?" 
                                        The next day, I saw Kate playing  some dolls behind the tree, laughing and whispering
with  soft voice. But, she told us she hates dolls. I go forward, looked at her eyes and ask  "Kate? You told
us you don't like dolls!" She felt embarrassing, shy,  mad. She run away, I felt very sorry. I was thinking
the whole Math period  "What if she hates me and will not play with me ever? Oh no! What have I
done..."   
                       Then, after Math class Kate rush  to me  ''You! Don't tell anyone that I play    dolls. And do
not go there anymore!'' I don't know why she doesn't want to let us know but I am not going to tell to
anyone. She doesn't talk to me anymore. She just play robots with the boys as usual. I thought that she
hates me, and will never talk to me anymore. 
                                          So, I told the girls what happened.   
                                          Olivia hug me  "That isn't your fault, it's her mistake. She can play dolls with us instead
of hiding behind the tree! She is such a bossy, terrible, creepy witch!" I disagree  Olivia, but she rolled her
eyes and said  "Oh! Never mind, if you want to be friend with us, you should play dolls with us. And forget
about Kate." 
                                            The other girls agree with Olivia. 
                                            Tracy gave me a fancy doll and said  "Come and play with us please....We love being
friend  with you. We all are good friends." 
                                            I go to the girls and play with them but actually I was still thinking about Kate. I do not
know how to make  friend  with her, she looks really cool, but I don't. Maybe with dolls? Maybe with the
girls?   
                                        After school, I rush to my room and decided to make  a letter! But I do not know what to
write  how to write. So, I just drew a heart and I wrote 'To Kate'. I thought it was really silly,  I do not give
the letter to Kate. 
                                            The next day, I ask Kate to  playing dolls together. She smile and agree. We spend the
whole afternoon  playing dolls and I found that she was not bad and terrible at all! She was really nice
and kind!                                                         
                                          Then, we became friends.   
                                          She told me  "Actually, girls can play robots and sword  too! And boys can play
with  dolls  too. You do not have to listen to other people."   
"So.....you actually like robots, but why're you hiding and playing with the dolls?"  I asked.   
"I'm scared that the girls wouldn't like me, so.....I'm just trying to play with those dolls."  Kate told me.   
  "Aww....don't do that. You can play robots. I can also play robots with you."  I responded. 
"Ok!"  Kate said.  So, we play robots together. The other girls thought that I'm crazy! They do not want to
play with robots. But, I like it. So, I play with robots! I do not have to care about anyone. How would they
think about me.   
                                          So, that's the truth. You do not have to think about what  other people would think
about you and you do not have to care about that. Just do what you like to do. 
Student #3:
Well it was a normal school day in Grade 3. Our teacher surprised us by saying "Guess what? There is a
very important and impressive competition coming up. It is for Math! Who would like to participate?"
He also said "It is called Sakamoto Math and the whole Southeast Asia is competing including
Japan!" The competition is in Yangon, the largest city of Myanmar.  It celebrated every year. But this
year was in the largest city of Myanmar! The first round will be in our school" and then I said "I want to
participate!" A month later I competed excitedly with my friends. After a week I got the results. I was
shocked! I got to compete in Yangon. None of my friends didn't get to compete! I was shocked and
amazed!  After 2 months we went to Yangon with our family. I was so excited. When we got to Yangon
we stayed in our hotel. The next day we went Lotte Hotel(The hotel that I need to compete). I was
nervous. There were kids from around the world like Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and many
others. The first part was funny. I got into the hallway to answer and  teachers showed us our seats. But
they did not found my table! Then they asked the main teacher and I just got in my place. I answered all
the questions. I was worried that I would be wrong. But then when I finished answering all the questions
I got out to the hallway. There were a lot of people. I even got the feeling I was lost. But I managed to
find my mother. After we got back from the hotel, we ate lunch. We went to a classic restaurant in
Yangon. We ate fried rice with a crab. It was a lunch special!  
 
At night was the amazing part. We went to the park just for fun and to relax. When we arrived we saw a
familiar car. It was my cousin's car! Later we found him and his family. That was a coincidence! We did
not know they were in Yangon! We bought toy bows and arrows from a local seller. Then we played
whose arrow went the farthest with my sister and my cousin. 
 
The next day we went to Lotte hotel(I was looking forward for the results. "Before telling the results" the
teachers said "there is a person to meet everybody". They said that a Japan astronaut who works in
NASA will be telling us about his experience on a rocket ship. He told us how much it will cost to be on a
zero – gravity plane and the experience of riding it! He says it would cost 1,000,000 (1 million) U.S.
dollars! Then we got the results. It says that I got bronze. But I was not disappointed. The only thing that
matters is that I got the experience to compete with the world. Then when I came out I saw my grade 2
friend, Austin! He was wearing the official Sakamoto shirt with black jeans! Austin also said that he was
shaking when he was answering. Then, we took a picture with him. It was our last day in Yangon so we
visited around the city(although we had visited like 100 times). 
                                  
The next day we went to the airport. We were just sitting and waiting for the plane but then something
caught my eye. I saw a familiar person. I asked my dad and I was surprised to know who he was! He was
a celebrity and his wife was a director. They also had their son! We were amazed! My father said to take
a picture with him so we got there and we got to take a picture with him! That was a once in a lifetime
experience! 
 
I had a very good experience during this trip. And this was the first time I had a triple coincidence. I
wanted to share this story because it was my first triple coincidence. (It’s a true story). ;)
