Water Rocket Boy
Al was chosen among all the seventh graders because of his ability in science lesson Mr. Anton chose him and told him to found another student that could help him for the water rocket project. But the national water rocket competition was already so close and he didn’t have much time. So Mr. Didi increased the weekly after school lesson from once a week to twice a week. Nelson and Al Martin did many experiments such as making a water rocket quickly and the amount of materials needed for certain accomplishment. Sir Didi trained Al well. Al succeeded to enter the national water rocket in PPIPTEK in Jakarta.
Then after 2 and half hours after the competition started he took the 1st place and he could get into the international ASEAN water rocket competition in Bangalore, India. Al was surprised for his accomplishment and he studied more for the international water rocket competition. So his name is getting popular and makes our school more popular among many schools in Jakarta province and Banten province. After the training finished Al and Nelson take a break for a moment and get ready to enter the international competition in Bangalore, India. While Al and Nelson was taking the break sir Didi studied more about the rocket and make the length and height measurement to achieved such distance in the water rocket launcher. He found out that the best bottle to be used to make the rocket is the 1.5 liter coca cola bottle. Our school aid Al Martin very much, the principal Ms Maria gave a speech to us to aid Al Martin rocket competition by giving him empty coca cola bottles for his training. Al Martin studied forward about physics to help him in the water rocket competition.
So Sir Didi and Al Martin went to India and when it was Monday SMP Santa Laurensia prayed for Al Martin for winning. He got extra pray from our class 7B that’s actually his classes too. So Al got 2 chances to fire the rocket. The first time Al fired the rocket it was a failure it was so far from the target. But, in the second chance he got it perfectly right on target. So Al Martin wins the third place in the international ASEAN water rocket competition. The news spread far he was invited to meet important people like Sri Sultan Hamengkubowono 10th the governor of Jogjakarta and other important governors. So he got in the internet, newspaper, magazine and the television in Trans 7. So that’s the achievement of Al Martin and now he focused himself in study.

Is Money That Important???
Money is not everything…
I have a friend. He was totally rich. He has many cars, also many hotels.
But he was very naughty in school. He was so not responsible for what he doing.
Everybody in our class hates him. But sometimes he was really nice.
We really don’t know what happen to him. He often angry with someone without reason. Small problem he made it to large problem. He finished problem with his physic, that’s why until know he has many friends.
Now I know what is the problem. He have 1 sister 2 brothers. His parent was busy with their own job. He often said that his parent don’t care with him. They don’t care how is his school. We were trying to understand him. We were trying to think that we needed to give him love that he didn’t get from his parent.
So know…I realized that money is not everything. Maybe we can buy anything with money. But I’m not sure money makes everyone happy. We needed each other best.

Sugar Smash Sam
By Josephine Wiliputri
Steven was always dragged to the supermarket with his dad, every Tuesday. He'd always wander off until his dad had finished. On this perticular Tuesday, Steven was feeling extremely tired, he'd been playing football in a tournament all day, he didn't feel like going shopping, he wanted to rest. As his dad went to find some baked beans, Steven stayed by the sugar, he enjoyed poking and squishing the bags, they were soft, but slightly heavy! Steven's legs ached, so he sat down on the cold, hard floor, since there were no seats. The floor's surprisingly comfertable, thought Steven, he picked up another bag of sugar and threw it up and down in the air. After about five minutes, Steven grew bored, he placed the bag on the ground and leant up against a shelf, his eyes slowly closed.
"Hey you"! A man's voice cried. Steven opened his eyes, the blurred figure was jumping up and down and pointing at him.
"Whaa", Steven mumbled. He had no idea what was going on. The man looked horrified, he held a mobile phone in his right hand, and a ladle which he'd just picked up in the other.
" I'm warnin' you", He screamed, " I'll hit you over the head with my weopon if you don't turn yourself in"! Steven stood up to find a long metal object had been hurled at his chest. Steven looked confused, he hadn't ever seen this man before!
"Look, I'm just a boy", Steven laughed. He scratched his head.
"I know who you are", the man bellowed, "You're sugar smash Sam, the kid who hits people with massive bags of sugar"! Steven really was confused now.
"Mr, my name's not Sam, I don't know what you're talking about", Steven yelled.
"You've hit Sophie over the head too many times, I'll get you for that", He roared, grabbing Steven by the collar. "That's why you weren't on last night! You escaped from the telly, but I'll shove you back in don't you worry, Police!" He growled.
"Wait here"! The strange man told Steven, he snorted at him and ran through the super market shouting for the police.
Steven rushed to find his dad, without being seen by the wacko. He saw him by the tills, Steven's dad was talking with the lady behind the counter.
"Dad", Steven Called, "We have to leave"! He screamed. "Now!" Steven pushed his dad through the big double doors and lead him to the car park.
"Really Steve, what's the rush?" His dad laughed. They both got into the car, and as they pulled out into the main road, Steven saw that weird man running after them.
"Well what do ya know!" Steven's dad Smiled, "It's your Uncle Louie, maybe we should give him a lift. Then again, he'll probably just go on and on about the telly. He's mad about those Supermarket programmes you know!" Steven slunk down into his chair. "Sugar Smash Sam?" He asked.
His dad nodded, "That's his favourite show!"

Elizabeth's interest was Looking Good, Lauren's interest was Sport, Kate's interest was Art and Craft, Lesley's interest was Hanging Out, and Samantha's interest was Spray Painting, (a little part of Art and Craft). They were also best friends. One day they were hanging out at the mall and Elizabeth saw a light blue top with a pink heart. She said "I must have that top, it's so Looking Good".
Lauren argued and said "Who would have that top? It's so girly wirly, why don't you have that top, a red one with a football on."
Elizabeth said "Who would want that top it's sooooo boyey woyey like you, you act like a boy, wearing boy's clothes." They keep on arguing until Kate says "Let's talk this through, they are only shirts." So they said "Sorry for arguing"

A Sight for Sore Eyes
A Sight For Sore Eyes
By Josephine Wiliputri Grade 7
The city of Wilesville! It was another calm, peaceful, uneventful day. . . .Except for the giant ant! But that ant wouldn't be bugging Wilesville for long. Not if the Three Miracle had anything to say about it. Licia, Lacy, and Lucia raced to the scene. "Okay, Girls," said Licia. "What this pest needs is a power kick!" Wham! Licia swooped down and delivered a massive blow to ant's head. Bham! Lacy dove down and gave that ant a punt. Whoop! Lucia missed the ant completely and plummeted to the ground! What went wrong? Lucia had never missed before! But she wasn't about to let that get her down. She zipped back up again, ready to teach that ant a lesson. But where was the ant? Where were her sisters? Lucia couldn't see them anywhere. Aha! Finally, Lucia spotted the ant. "It's time for a laser attack!" Lucia shouted. "I won't miss this time." Lucia zoomed toward the ant. . and miss again! "Lucia! Stop!" yelled Licia and Lacy. They knew something was wrong. They grabbed Lucia and flew back to Professor Lee's lab. The giant ant would just have to wait. "Professor! There's something wrong with Lucia!" Lacy said. "I'm fine!" Lucia said. 'There's nothing wrong with me!" But who was Lucia talking to? "Hmmm…" said Professor Lee. "I think I see what the problem is. We just need to do a few tests." "But we have to stop the giant ant!" Lacy protested. "This won't take long at all," said Professor. "Lucia, now tell me what you see." The letters on the eye chart blurred in front of Lucia's eyes. But she gave her best shot. "J!" Lucia shouted. "O! S! I! E!" "Hmmm…" said Professor Lee. "Let's try another test. Follow my finger." Poor Lucia couldn't see the finger in front of her face! But she didn't realize anything was wrong. She thought she was doing great. "Hmmm…" said Professor Lee. "Just one more test. Aim a heat ray at this target." Lucia knew she could ace this test. Zap! The red-hot heat ray blasted from her eyes…and fried her sisters! Lucia had missed again. "Is she going to be okay?" wailed Licia. "I know just what she needs…" "Glasses!" Licia and Lacy giggled, and then they laughed! "What's so funny?" asked Lucia. Lucia walked to a mirror. "Oh, NO!" Lucia gasped. "I look like a dork!" "No, no. You look super! Now go out there and save Wilesville." Said Professor Lee. Lucia sighed. Then she took off after her sisters. Licia giggled when she saw Lucia. "Here comes a sight for sore eyes…" "It's all..four-eyes!" finished Lacy. "Hey!!" Lucia said angrily. Licia and Lacy could not stop laughing. They flew ahead. Lucia stayed behind. "I don't need these stupid glasses," she muttered. She took them off. "I can see just fine." Lucia flew off after her sisters. But… Bonk! Lucia crashed into a tree, rubbing her head, but she still didn't put on her glasses. Then she heard a scream. "Lucia! Help!" It was her sisters! Lucia searched for her sisters. But she couldn't see without her glasses. The whole city of Wilesville was one big blur. Luckily, Licia and Lacy found her sister. "Lucia, put on your glasses and help us!" ordered Licia. "No way!" Lucia said. "You'll laugh at me!" Behind them, the giant ant chomped on skyscrapers. Wilesville was in real trouble! "We will not laugh," promised Lacy. "Now put them on!" Lucia knew it was the only way. She put on her glasses. Licia and Lacy tried not to laugh. But the giggles bubbled up inside them. They couldn't hold them in. Lucia frowned. She took off her glasses. While the girls were laughing, the ant swooped in. Snap! The ant grabbed Licia and Lacy in it's pincers. 'Lucia, heeeeelllppp!!!" they screamed. "Use your glasses!" Licia yelled. "NO! I don't need them!" Lucia yelled back. Lucia aimed a laser blast at the giant ant… and missed! "USE YOUR GLASSES, LUCIA!!" yelled Licia and Lacy together. Lucia knew her sisters were in trouble. Teasing or no teasing, she had to help them. Even of she looked like a dork. "All right ant," Lucia said. "Get ready to be fried!" Lucia put her glasses back on. A red hot beam shot out of Lucia's eyes. The lenses in her glasses magnified the heat ray. The beam was sizzling, super hot, and more powerful than even before. Hooray! No more giant ant! Licia and Lacy were little scorched, but they'd be all right. Now was Lucia's turn to tease. "Who looks dorky now?" Back on the lab, Lacy told Professor Lee how Lucia had saved them. "And then she zapped the ant, like this!" A laser flashed from Lacy's eyes. The beam smashed Lucia's glasses. Lucia blinked. The room wasn't blurry anymore. "I can see without my glasses," Lucia said. "What do you know?" said Professor. "Lacy's laser must have hit your eyes in just the right spot. It was instant laser surgery. You're cured!"
