Our Christmas Traditions

Walking down the street everyone  opened there homes up and began there Christmas traditions.
As every one started there celebrations we began our Christmas with our own family ways, we all started our Christmas traditions.

We carried on our strange tradition, we were nervous to put on our costumes so we made some for our niece and nephew's, we made them put on red Santa suits to embrace our Christmas spirit.

"Get up its Christmas"
As we all filled with joy we couldn't wait to open our presents together
"We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year" 

The Being that stole my Christmas.

The lights collapsed in front of my frosted window, their green and red beams pierced my eyelids. The reminince of the thump awoken me, I cradle my eyes in my numb hands. “Strange” I say in confusion. I get up and meander to the living room, I opened the door just as a scrawny leg disappeared from the attic door. Santa was my first recognition. More thought into it made me nervous, especially when I saw the naked tree in the corner. Angry, I reach for the attic door to see the Grinch’s silhouette before me, deeply engaged in celebration.

The door open to the world to those who cared to join the celebration.

All was loud and proud in the dining room as I sat crouched in a corner in my room.

 I felt strange, I felt sick.

Everyday on the 25^th of December this always happens, why?

I was about to storm out of my room when someone appeared blocking my exit.

“Excuse me!”

I said impolitely, then looked up and screamed.

 Fur is brown, nose is red, clipping clopping hooves.

“Do you mind?”

Suddenly I felt nervous, something bad happened, really bad.

I’m on the naughty list

100wc

As I opened the door

A nervous rush came over me

I was expecting red rivers of blood

Strange decorations of skulls and bones hanging from the tree

A Christmas celebration must have changed these monsters back to sane

Tonight I'm not eating

The taste of their deadly poisons

Yeah……….. No thanks

Their smiling?

And laughing?!!

How is that possible for the devil, his wife and the little monsters?

These aren't the monsters I know!
The little ones would sink their teeth into anything

Taking the life out of anything and everything in their sight

Like usually

Are these fakes?

Bomb on planet Mars

“Come on mate a bit faster’’ as sweat dribbles down my face the stress of saving the enormous red planet Mars from the deadly nuclear  bomb erupted like a horrible. So I yell at them to be quiet and sprint as fast as a Bugatti Veyron to the other side of the planet. Suddenly I see a strange light come towards me then I viewed wrinkly green skin. Shocked with fear the alien in a loud voice yelled “go back and save mars” so I saved mars and we had a really really really big celebration          

boxing day

 Boxing Day and I’m super excited I’m going fishing because I bought myself a fishing rod. I want to test it out. On the news they said that there are sharks where I was fishing at Ocean Beach in San Diego. I can’t wait I opened the door and ran to the shore. I was so nervous I didn’t know what was out there. It’s strange that the ocean was dead silent. 10 minutes later it got my line so I pulled it in and it was dripping with red blood then I went to have a celebration with friends.

100wc#

The waves splashed against the shore as in saying ‘Take a leap and join me’ well, that wasn't what I had in mind. I stared upon the ship, wishing for the best. A figure appeared, staring down like he was the king of the world. “How is it going in there?” “Very good for a ship like this.” He turned towards the ocean “I hope it’s not too long before we meet again.” My heart melted when he sent a smile towards anybody who cared to look. Off went the horn, then a word to the captain, they set sail.

War in a boat
It was the year 1900 it was an unfortunate year as the war took the lives of millions of men fighter jets armed with bombs that go kablooey accelerating at speeds that will leave you flabergassded. Boats with weapons of mass destruction destroying helpless scared countries. As I charge like a raging bull I fire my Uzi through the bodies of the revolting army named NEXUS. The sound of boats colliding together are like long sharp nails scratching on a chalk board. Missiles roaring a loud boom. To this very day solders haunt the scary boat

It was the night before Halloween

Dark sky

Moonlight shining through the grey clouds

Wind, rain

Perfect night to scare someone

James gave himself a challenge

To walk through the dark forest

So many stories have been told

But no one’s actually been though the forest

No one knows the truth

Is it lies? Is it true?

No one knows because their all to scared

But not James

He is going to find out tonight  

Deep breath

First step

Fear hits James like a bus

Rain pouring

But as the leaves rustled

He’s starting to believe the stories are fake

On the night of Halloween four friends were walking down a slippery slope when they saw a bush moving at the bottom… One of the friends said “I think I’m getting scared”

“I know right “another friend said. They slowly tip toed to the bush when one friend wondered where the 4^th friend was. They were anxious. Suddenly out of nowhere they heard a voice in the bush. They were just going to peek but as the leaves rustled they all looked at each other and new something was up. They all circled around the bush and scared there friend.

He was shocked to find a creature so bright, it exploded sparkles splashing on the colourless walls.

“Who-who are you?” Lord of Nulth demanded.

“Blah, Mua! Coacoamon!” It mumbled.

 “Coacoamon, aye?”

 He took a step back and stared at the cold, dark walls which now exploded into life.

 “Guards arrest him.”

 No one moved, he twirled around just to see his guards turn rainbow coloured.

“What, No!”

His guards went crazy jumping all over the place, splashing colours as well. One glitter ball splattered on his arm. Green, orange, yellow came dancing around his arm, marching around his body.

“Coacoamon!"

He was shocked to find a rabbit that could talk all of the languages, it had super speed and super strength. It had something else in the bottom of the sake, it said his name on it, and his name is bunny Gill-oar. He punched the spider in the face and ran as fast as he could but he ran into the wall and got knocked out. He was graded by robotic spiders. The robotic spiders where looking down on him. The robotic spider took bunny Gill-oar to lord or nelth he got hung with chance he break out.

The Soldiers Side of the Story

“Come on men move it move it move it! Fall out troops”

Gun shots every were, we took cover and tried to map out the battle field,

“Cover me!!” Bang!!! Boom!!!

“Hold your fire save your ammo”….

“It’s finally over men”

Walking up the steep hill we couldn't believe our eyes,

“Let’s not remember this sight soldiers”

 To Be Continued…..

“Fall out men”

“Get in the trenches now”

Walking through the trenches we all heard a load whistle…

“Take cover!!!”

“Ahh!!!”

Loud screams everywhere,

“It’s too late we can’t save them”

“Get out of there soldier that’s an order now!!!”

I always remember the story of my brother’s name.

My great grandfather was in World War 2,

And when the war was happening my great grandmother was pregnant.

My great grandmother sent a to my great grandfather letter asking what she would like the child to be named.

By the time he replied it was too late,

The child had been named Murry  (that’s my grandfather)

The name that was requested from my great grandfather was Dion

Murry never named one of his sons Dion 

But he got to name his first and only grandson

And he named him Dion

I remember when it was my birthday and my dad took me to rainbow ends. I was allowed to go on any ride, I wanted to because it was my birthday. I went on the bumper boats and bumper cars that was cool because it was a good day at Rainbow ends. It was a really good day It was fun and then we went to the Hamilton lake .We went to Hamilton zoo and I went to Auckland zoo that was good because I saw a monkey, I saw an elephant and I saw people feeding it was good.

Remember....

Remember the day in 1914,

When the world turned dull and the nations turned mean.

Along those English troops sailed, so brave and so tall,

Clueless of their rivals that will soon make them fall.

It’s crazy to think how much had to go,

To the war that started 100 years ago.

Remember the day in 1915,

When the world stayed dull and the nations stayed mean.

It was the day New Zealand joined the war,

The Turks shot them dead, nowhere near Gallipoli’s core.

It’s crazy to think what we now know,

Happened so fast only 100 years ago.

that day

One day i saw a pig aim bang shot it right in the head i went to grab the fat thing when a motorbike came from no where.He grabed the pig and off he shot like a bullet i fun after him and fail on my face woke up in a pleace i have never seen i couldn't remember anything anymore not even my name, parents, or childhood i saw a big guy he was yellow and had a name tag homa as i got up i started to remember my name dayton dayton i say over again.

The world is coming to an end

Only 5 people know

The people are Jim, James, Pamala, Amy and Alaina

Antarctica is going first

Its melting

Each day it gets warmer

Day 1:

The 5 people are in the Antarctica

Arrived it wasn’t cold it was warm

They had a confused look on their face

Fear struck them

Also their bones as it shivered, they stood there just thinking

“How are we going to save the world?”

What could they do?

What should they do?

Sadly nothing I guess

But maybe they just don’t know what’s needed

To be continued 

Once upon a time long ago

I saw a big fat bird flying through the snow

It looked like it needed a nice warm home

So I brought inside to my parents and they brushed it off with a comb

As it shivered they put it next to the fire and then they came up with a name and called it Kaya.

I went out to see my snowman Olove and then I heard old man started to cough i went to see if he was alright but he was dead there with a colourful kite.

You’re sincerely Dayton Scott.

Tic tack toe 2 ducks in a row

 1 name Jo and 1 name snow,

Swimming around in a little pond

Together in 1 they shared a bond,

1 hopped out and 1 stayed in

   Jo who shivered and snow who grinned,

Snow hopped out and sat by Jo

As it shivered, they both said NO,

They both went home cold and happy

Sitting and eating coco pop taffy,

The next day they went again

But this time it started to rain,

As quickly as they could

They ran under a huge big wood,

Goodbye said Jo

Oh and snow.

SMASH!!! I dropped a stacked set of plates. My spirit lifted into the sky. I was mortified of the horrific sight of a zombiefied cat that slowly walked towards the broken plates on the ground. I froze for a couple of seconds and slowly walked backwards and spun around quickly. Suddenly hissing started to control me and the cat charged towards me. It bit me. Green venom dripped down my leg. I went swimming towards the door but I was lost like in a maze. Then I found the door to the bathroom and then I collapsed on the ground.

 Once upon a time there was a hero named Bob Rattle-bag. He absolutely loved cats his secret disguise was a cat onesie with green hair attached to it.Bob lurked around the slim alleys for any crime, he new there was something strange lingering in the air. he lifted the man hole cover and jumped in just to be meted by some sludgy sewage water, he was swimming happily until a evil crook jumped out of the corner go Smelly Cat use hair canon (poof) CRITICAL HIT 'nooooooooooooooo" said the crook. "Nice take down

100 word challenge: The Fat Angry Cat

The Fat Angry Cat.

As I slowly pulled the green blanket a fat angry cat jumped out and starts to pull it.

I slowly lifted the paint and threw it at the fat cat. It starts purring at me.

Mum stormed in with a lifted spirit. My head is swimming with emotions.

Mum asks what are you doing with that green blanket and I said just messing around with big cat.

Mum says what’s the mess on your bed Jack I said it was the big cats fault.

Broken glass fix it!

By David.

  

Smash! Bang my heart  killed my spirit from the inside. My face was as green as the perfect green tree I was falling to my death nothing to do but say my good byes.

Crack my body is broken as something lifted me up put me slowly down on the ground and I standed there for five minutes thinking what just happened wow a wet cat fell down from a tree it looked like it had been swimming in a pool of lollies. I am also going swimming tonight I ran down the road but got lost.

By Dayton 

 Broken glass everywhere  swimming against the cat. The cat didn't recognise that a piece of glass entered his throat. The cat coughed and coughed until it flinged out. As the cat lifted the glass sitting on the ground, it was full of emotion, it was sad. People kept walking past and stepping on it till it broke to tiny little pieces. As the cat sat on the green glass it felt wet and sloppy, it felt yucky and gross. The cat chased a rat, it scattered and scattered as it sped past houses, gardens, trees, fences and a foot path.

The fresh green ocean filled the scenery with its flow of the waves. The water sparkled like a thousand jewels as suddenly, something has broken its surface. A ginger fur ball going down stream, “Meow…”

“Here, kitty. Come out Tommy, Tom, Tom.” Ella cried in the most reassuring voice, then she crouched down in pain. One, two, three tears came rolling down her painful face. The little girl Ella, skipped along the streets then lifted her tiny sprit. “Oh hello Ella. You feeling alright? Swimming through some emotions aren’t you?” “Hi Mrs Smith, have you seen my cat Tommy?" (Snivel.)

A heartbroken girl drifting in tears

When her cat had died and no one cares,

She dreamed of places her cat would go

See things as green as grass and white as snow,

As she lifted her cat with happiness and sorrow

She did not say goodbye not today or tomorrow,

Next thing she knew she was swimming in tears

And never letting go of her favourite teddy bears,

Counting in her head 1 2 3

She knew her cat was free,

As the sky grew grey and pale white

In her dreams her cat jumps with happiness and delight.

As Mr Chungingham was getting up. The phone suddenly rang. He slowly walked down the stairs to the phone “hello” he asked questionably.

“Ohhh hi yes I am calling you from the lottery centre. And guess what you have won over 1million dollars.”

“WHAT”

Mr Chungingham sprinted down to the lottery centre to grab his cash. On his way home he was still very depressed because his girlfriend just dumped him. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a pure white person cat sitting on a window stall he looked at the cash he had in his bag.

The broken heart of the young princess of Selmadore was once lifted, she gazed out the window, a shiny green limo pulled up in front of the castle door. A man got out to open the door, he seemed wet like he had just been swimming, he carefully dragged a small box off the back seat in the car he had a really tight grip on the box like it was his own child. I ran down stairs and snatched the box off the man, I slid the lid off the top of the box, out pounced a black cat. 

A girl sat on a log near the green river she had a broken heart she had no name she felt unknown she lost her mother 2 years ago. She was swimming in her own emotions hoping that the sound off her purring cat can lift up her spirit. Feeling lost and alone unable to talk or express herself. Wondering why this has happened to her what did she do to deserve this pain? Suddenly she realized that her eyes were filled with tears, she was alive and gonna live her life.

Leaning on my bedroom door, I was broken hearted. I felt angry, sad and depressed. My face was Green it was like I was sick or something.

I was crying so much because of what happened. “Drip, drip, drip”, my tears were dripping like a mini Waterfall. I suddenly realised I was swimming in my own tears.

When I picked up my cat, his purring was like music to my ears and it lifted up my spirits.

“Purr, purr”, as I stroked my Cats back, his fur was as soft as a Pillow. And as fluffy as a Teddy Bear.

                                                                    SAVED

Once upon a time there was a family going fishing on a big green river. But suddenly the boat crashed into a big rock oh-nooooo they said the boat is broken. But their cat started swimming across the river to go and get help.

30 minutes later the search and rescue team arrived they climbed out of the boat and got lifted by the rescue team but luckily they survived. You’re a good cat said the family in execution there is no better cat ill have then you but luckily they were saved and they returned home in happiness.

                        400 Years

400 years from now. Cats might be green,blue, purple, pink. No one really knows. There might not be any buildings or they might be all broken and smashed. People might be swimming in lollies that would make my spirit be lifted! I think teleporters would be AWESOME just like time travel. There could be flying cars. Elephant might be as small as a butterfly. Butterflies might be big as an elephant. The sea might be orange and fish might be pink. There mightn't be any sport like soccer rugby even hockey. I hope earth will never be like this!

My Odd Brain

“Whoa who are you?”

“I'm your conscience”

“Ok what am I doing here?”

“I don’t really know”

Walking towards my conscience I lifted my spirits,

“Come on run”

Walking down a scary hallway I saw a bright green light,

“What is that, who is that?”

“That’s you swimming in your own pool of envy”

"Ok"

Walking down the ile I saw a weird train

“And that’s your train of thought”

“Cool”

Walking in my train of thought I realised I'm in my brain huh

"Awesome

“Meow”

“Whoa a cat”

“Now it’s time to mend your broken heart”

“Wait what Ahhh”

Rude

Broken,

Fragile,

Nowhere to go.

Green envy surrounds me,

Yet nobody knows.

Is it the way I act,

Is it the way I move,

Why do people have to be rude?

My cat doesn’t care,

Her spirits still lifted,

She doesn’t envy the boy that’s gifted.

I’m swimming through my thoughts those people intrude,

Why are these people now so rude?

Our society is corrupt,

No one stands tall,

The world is no longer one for all.

Social media attacks you,

Nasty words slap you,

Were humans made to be so rude?

Why is the modern world now so rude?

The Devil has returned

Once upon a time a group of five teenagers went camping in the woods,

Then at 12:00 am the trees started to blow and the moon started to disappear, boom!!!!

“What was that”?

Huffing and puffing we all got out of our tents and saw a floating cape,

“What is that”?

 Whispered one of the teenagers,

“You will die”

Said the mysterious cape

“Run”!!!!

“Keep going don’t stop running”

They hid behind some trees in the forest and looked up, a dark cape surrounded the tree and said

“You will die”

“Run”

“It’s too late, you will die tonight”

“Ahhh”!!!

Once upon a time on one very spooky night when the trees were blowing and leaves crackling there were 5 teenagers going camping suddenly at 12:00am they heard a big explosion. Then suddenly they heard something coming towards them then afew seconds later a hand poked through the door of the tent and dragged one of the teenagers away then screaming in horror the teenagers ran through the spooky forest all the way home. What was that thing it’s only a dementor they only come out at night. But the other teenager was still gone mysteriously HIDDEN IN THE DARKNESS.

the hooded figure strikes

Slits, not eyes, glared through the shadows of the charcoal cloak. Night fall had struck by the time FBI investigators reached the blood stained mulch and leaves on the forest floor. I witnessed the whole thing, and it wasn't death that murdered Jessica Jane, yet he morphed out of thin air as soon as she was struck. Not to take her away, but to take her misty, milk white soul from her punctured body. Its midnight, and the hooded figure is still here, and out of curiosity, so am I. I just witnessed everything, that’s why death now faces me.

No our class is going to the dump. Most people tried to make them-self sick so they didn’t have to go. I am really not looking forward to the retarded dump trip. To get on the bus Mr Willis yelled to all of the class. We all got on the bus and shot off like a bullet we talked the whole way there. We quickly jumped out of the school bus and went inside. Steven boringly talked for about 20 minutes, we then went to where all the rubbish was. I could not believe the smell.

Dayton Scott  

The first day on the job at Bobs Scented Shack. I could not wait to get there. I walked in and I couldn't  believe the smell it was like a scented god came down from the heavens but it was just the candles burning in the corner of the shop. I walk up to the counter and went around back to ask what needed doing, but all that asking was more of the candles asking to be lit. I scraped the tip of the match across the textured side of the box as it combust in to flames.

As I walked in the door of the Candy Land store. I could not believe the smell. It smelt like chocolate, amazing beautiful chocolate. Freshly made with love. Out of the corner was a bright orange string. But guess what it was. A SNAKE and it was real. I ran to the door but there he was blocking the exits I saw an escape root down in the bottom corner of the room. I crawled under the tables. I don’t think they saw me until I ran out from under the table to the little escape root on the ground.

It was Prep market day, I was on my break and went for a walk to have a look at all the stores.

I was in the food area and different types of smells came to my nose like spices and sweets.

I could not believe the smell, you would think it would be a nice smell like a chocolate factory because the sweet smell of lollies but actually the smell got over taken by hot food people were selling.

It smelt like someone put a lot chocolate sauce on hot chips.

Didn't smell so great, not at all.

camp site confusion

Tripping, slipping and sliding didn't give me a distant advantage between me and the green slump of mouldy toxic moss. I could not believe the smell that protruded from the mutations frightening crevices. In fact it was so horrific, the smell had its own visible vapour! I came across this wretched monstrosity shortly after a confusing trip to the toilet. Why was it confusing? Well I am camping, and the park ranger is probably in hysterics, because the TOILET is 500 metres away! I'm nearing the camp site barrier as the slump halted suddenly. I guess it doesn't like camp fires!

Trotting down the beach I couldn't believe the smell, a horrible stench flew right over the beach.

“Yuck”

I ran straight up the hill and back home to get out of rage of the horrible stench. "Few it was just a dream", waking up and quickly getting ready, Sprinting down the road I saw a familiar bridge, it was blown up I suspect.

Making my way down the street I saw a lot of familiar faces and then it happened… I smelt a familiar smell it smelt like rotten egg on a fart

“Yuck”

“Ha-ha”

I ran back home then fainted

‘CRACK!’

“Oh, My!”

“Ewww, I could not believe the smell, it smells like rotten eggs!”

“I think it is, RUN!”

“URGH! Who broke the old egg?”

“The baby did, on accident”

“Quick, grab the baby and let’s get out of here!”

“On the street, leave the door opened so the smell can get through.”

30minutes later.

“AHHH!!! It stinks more than the baby’s diaper!”

“Look mum! The neighbours are coming out too!”

(Mumble, mumble.)

“Mr and Mrs Pebbles what do you think you’re doing? It smells like …”

THE FRIENDLY CROCODILE

Once upon a time there was a little girl called pepper. She was going to visit her secret friend the crocodile she was going to feed him. When she arrived at the lake she got a soft feeling. OH NOOOO she shouted I forgot to get the orange so she rushed back home. After she got the orange she ran back to the lake and threw the orange then the crocodile jumped up and caught it in his humongous mouth. Good boy she replied I love you so much you’re the bestes FRIEND in the entire world.

CRACK! Suddenly a bolt of lightning appeared and disappeared within a blink of an eye, but not just any human’s eye. They had the colour of an ignited orange flame appeared in the darkness. The eyes beamed into the dark swamp. It was the crocodile that owned this swamp, the crocodile that forgot his name. A soft voice appeared in the darkness. “I know your name crocodile”. Said the cute voice. Ha, ha, “I know you do, you just said it”. Said crocodile. “Your real name not your stupid animal name. It is Pepper”. Said the voice. “Thankyou”.Said Pepper.

Croc the crocodile was sitting on the soft sand waiting for the beautiful sun to rise. As it was rising people started turning up to the beach. So croc the crocodile went home. Croc forgot to close the door behind him. When he went inside croc noticed a whole lot of bright orange fish rushing through his door. They were knocking over everything they saw. Like the pepper and salt. He swam as fast as he could to close the door he was so relieved. But there was pepper and salt all over the place. Croc could not stop sneezing.

A Trip to the Swamp.

A trip to the most desolate swamp on earth was my school’s idea, NOT mine. A swamp filled with exotic animals would assure one less child on the ride back. Our group shuffled with the host as we looked around, the humidity made me sleepy and I forgot where the group went. I had a small container of Pepper in case I had to defend myself. All of a sudden an object that looked like a puddle of Fanta drifted towards me. I let my pepper go before the soft orange crocodile bit me. It sneezed gross green snot everywhere.

Finally the announcement came. It has been 100 years since the bridge has been bombed. Right now there is only half a bridge standing. a part of the announcement was that they are going to build a bigger and better bridge. They wanted some volunteers to help of course I volunteered we started straight away there were so many cranes and trucks. after about a month it was nearly finished but there was still a lot to go . Suddenly all you could hear was rumbling. Out of the corner of my eye a whole lot of water smashed over the bridge.

‘Finally we can make a start on moving things’ as I grinned to mum ‘I still don’t know why we had to move houses again mum? I questioned but she didn't reply though. “Come on Cameron help Caitlin move those boxes in to the van. “Uggh I wish we never had to move I can already tell ill hate the new school I just know it” I groaned”. “Can you stop complaining or I’ll tell mum” so I stopped.

As we were setting up for prep. We had to help eachother get there stalls ready. If we helped other stalls we got 50 misms each to add to our budget. Chirah raced to ask how long we had left. She sprinted back with only ten minutes to go. The chew chew chews rushed to get there product but someone has moved them. We all ran around asking where the chilly bin has gone the all said they don’t know where they went. All of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw our red chilly bin finally we can make a start.

100 word Broden

As I walked into the grease like smelling park Jacob yelled “greasy world” then his words echoed throughout the dead carnival, all in sight was old rusty metal rides screeching and pulsing to explode, it was a large park filled with was tents, games, and old rides, Jacob, Tui, and I walked over to the merry go round clipping our self’s in we yell to the old man “wake up” the old man dribbles on the keyboard , big electric sparks crackle all over the cylinder board. Then a speaker slowly explains the instructions I yawned then said “and finally we can start” The final end sea.

Working on sculptures

The next important step is to use the play dough to draft our sculptures. It is a way of deciding what they will look like and how we might have to go about making them.  

Sculpture

We are planning on making some sculptures in class. We are using airstone as it will be easier. The first step is to design the sculpture. We then use play dough that we have made to model what we want it to look like.

Our giant pumpkin

In Room 6 we are planning on growing a giant pumpkin. We went onto the website www.giantpumpkins.co.nz and there is lots of stuff that we have to do and have to learn about. The first step for us is to get the ground ready or Soil Preparation. We need to have rich soil so that when we plant our seedling it will grow huge.

Campbell Live Letter

Dear Mr Campbell,

Kenzo Tanger has pulled a big scam on my company Community Constructors this has caused it to close down. Due to this scam 72 people remain jobless, me being one of them.

Kenzo Tanger sold my company insecure playground materials. We thought we were paying top dollar for quality materials, giving our customers the service they require, this was not the case.

To my knowledge our Treasurer's lawyer and bank has estimated  he stole up to 27 million NZD.

I am disgusted with what this man has done. Imagine how those children felt, they could have died. Innocent people left with no job and therefore, no income. 

Meanwhile I am going to look for another job so i can afford to buy food for my family and pay the mortgage on my house. Explaining this to my family is going to be very difficult for me especially seeing the look in my children's eyes when i tell them the playgrounds around our community are all getting taken down.

Dear world leaders

Lucy is still young and can learn quickly about being a teacher or a doctor and the understanding about it. I admire her support for her family, and envy her for her confidence towards being a teacher or a doctor. Lucy wish’s to learn to read. My concerns are for her disable’s which may affect her doings .It’s a very difficult task which may need a lot of support for her leg. It’ll be very difficult if Lucy’s education doesn't improve when she grows older. I wish the best for Lucy to go to school.

Sincerely: Merry

                                                                   

Lucy!

Dear World Leaders,

This is Lucy. Lucy has a dream to become a Doctor or Teacher. Lucy wants to go to school but she has no way of getting there because she has a condition in her right leg so she cannot straighten her leg. Even though, she cleans, cooks and takes care of her whole family and she is only 11 years old. This is not something a child this young should do which shows how caring and responsible she is. You should send Lucy to school because the world needs more people like her she deserves to go to follow her dreams!

You’re sincerely

      Brodi

Dear world leaders

Lucy, from western Kenya, Desperately needs to go to school to interact with people her own age and to get a good education. That is my opinion. If you don’t agree with me because of her disability. Well these days’ schools and doctors provide immunisations. So if Lucy goes to school Lucy won’t pass it on to any other student. So Lucy can learn new things and find new friends. If Lucy’s family is unable to get her to school. Alot of schools now have their own bus or other form of transportation. Please support Lucy’s cause.

My letter to World Leaders

Dear World Leaders,

Lucy is a special kid, but just because her life is different from ours doesn’t mean she needs to be treated a totally different way to us. Lucy should be able to attend school regardless of her disabilities. Donations would help Lucy lot, even a wheelchair would make her wish come true of attending school. Lucy does a lot for her family and eventually her own community. Maybe you should give her something back in return for the favours she does with courtesy. Lucy is a very special girl.

Please send her to school.

Sincerely,

Joshua Hearn 

The Foreign GUY

some of the word sounded like a foreign language. I couldn't understand him I kept on asking and asking 

him what he was saying but he kept speaking foreign. So I said to my self what am I going to do

then I had an idea I'm going to find someone that can speak English and foreign.

So they can translate it for me so I spent all week trying to find someone and then I found a person that can translate it. I brought him to my school and I brought to my friend so he could translate it.      

NUTTY NUTTY NAA-NAA

Once upon a time far far away in a magical land there were a girl named Anna-Beth she was 12 years old. she lived in a poor poor village and in that village was a poor poor house in that poor poor house lied a cupboard in the cupboard  was a banana, and half a jar of peanut butter. Anna-Beth's favourite food
        was bananas dipped in peanut butter. Each time she ate it she would say "NUTTY NUTTY NAA-NAA"  some of the words sounded like a foreign langue as she kept yelling "NUTTY NUTTY NAA-NAA"
her family had to hide all of the peanut butter and bananas away from the magical land the lived in.

I was studying the book of spells for my test at Wonder Snokel School. Then I saw a spell that caught my eye about dragons. The spell was for summing dragons from the underworld. The spell was Expellee Panelly Aminia, I tried it and it worked. As the dragon spoke I thought to myself that some of the words sounded like a foreign language. The other thing I thought was weird was the dragon was the size of a lizard, they’re also jumpy so I had a little lizard jumping around. I’ve always wanted a pet so this might do

The moon broke away from the misty clouds as it shone its faint light across the sand. Everything changed my mind when I looked at my surrounding’s. “Where was I?” Some of the word sounded like a foreign language, the lone words crawled around my brain, too frightened to stop wondering. I twisted my head side to side, no clues but endless seas of sand. I panicked, I ran shouting and crying. Something caught my eye, water, trees, a camel! A person! A village! Maybe my mind was playing tricks with me. My energy slowly drained as the sun rose.

Abbie, Scott and Mitchell were relaxing in the car until… SMASH!!! It felt like they hit a powerpole they quickly sat up and looked around nothing had happened. Still shakily searching around themselves they looked at their parents Shirley and Rik were still happily driving. “You alright there kids” asked Shirley there mum. “Ummm yea” answered Abbie. “What was that smash” questioned Scott. There mum answered them but some of the word sounded like a foreign language. “She meant it must have been your movie that you were watching” said their dad. ”ohhh” they all answered. “No wonder” mumbled Mitchell.

alien Invasion

It was a quiet, sunny day here in Hamilton. It was peaceful with nothing to do all-day. That was until my friend banged on my door. He was in a horrific state, trying to tell me something. But he just talked gibberish, some of the words sounded like a foreign language to my ears. Finally his speech made sense, aliens were coming. My reaction was to hide from the extra-terrestrial brings that planned to take over. I dived into the basement, followed by my friend and family. We managed to survive, in fact we were the only humans left alive.

SPCA letter

It was lovely summer day as I was walking home from school. Suddenly, from behind some bushes I heard some barking and scratching sounds

I slowly bent over and saw a litter of little puppies sleeping inside a big box. I gently picked up the box and saw the little puppies wake up. I took the four puppies’ home and fed them. I gave tall four puppies’ shelter and food and water. I quickly called my friend Taamoa and Teata to come and see the four puppies I had found. We started to take the puppies out. As we were doing that two puppies were badly hurt. I called my mum so that she can call the SPCA and make an appointment.

SPCA Four little puppies

Story starter: four little puppies!

It was a lovely summer day as I was walking home from school. Suddenly, from behind the some bushes I herd some little barking and scratching sounds. Imagine my surprise when I found a box with four little puppies in it behind the bushes.so I picked them up and I got my jumper out of my bag and laid them on that and I took them home  and got mum to ring the vet. We had another puppies already so I gave them some of that food. My little sister got them a drink of milk and we took them to the vet. They were a bit unhealthy and I am pretty shore they were in that discussing box for at least one or two days. So the vet said to do the five freedoms for a whole couple of weeks and they should be healthy in no time, I looked at my mum with a confusion “what is the five freedoms” I whispered to my mum, my mum said “I will tell you in the car”, the first freedom is the freedom of sickness, disease and pain the second one is the freedom of hunger and thirst the third  one is the freedom of discomfort the forth one is the freedom of cruelty and harm and the last one is the freedom to express normal behaviour. So as soon as we got home my mum and my little sister went to go buy a  little bed for them and a worm blanket for them and some toys a collar  for them each and  some food and some more milk. As soon as they got bake we set the bed and the toys and stuff in my room, me and my little sister took them outside and played with them and we got out there toys. After that we gave them a bath and washed them from head to toe then we put them in the lounge with us and they were running around and the two little girls were on the couch with my mum and they started falling asleep, we had not named them yet so we just could them over to were ever we want them to be. The two little boys were fighting and playing around it was funny because my brother was laying on the floor and they were climbing on his back.

The Litter

       The Litter

To Norm

It was a lovely sunny day as I was walking home from school. Suddenly, from behind the rustling bushes I heard some little barking noises and scratching sounds. I opened the soggy, whimpering box. I panicked, there was a litter of four abandoned little new born puppies. I went back around to the pathway to see anyone nearby. There was no one around, the streets were silent and deserted. Not a single movement and the wind blew through my face. I ran quickly back to the litter of puppies. I carefully picked up the box full of puppies. As I walked home I walked past the local dairy. I walked in and asked if I could borrow the shopkeepers phone to call my mum. As soon as I said something I got yelled at. Then after she cooled down I apologised and told her about the puppies. She was quite surprised and then after I said I have to go and I will meet you at the vet. After I thanked the shopkeeper and walked outside and stopped to look at one of the puppies, I picked up one of the puppies and looked at the puppies face. The puppy had an ear infection. I ran carefully but quickly to the vet. After the vet looked at the poor puppy, my mum said that we could take them home.
