Scary Stories

Whenever I go to the amusement park my little brother makes me go to the Haunted House. It was dark and scary. There was a car. In the car, there was a flashlight and I picked it up and I pushed the button. The light went on. The car started to move very fast! I screamed. Then we came back. I thought it was a dream and my brother was crying. By Liam

Whenever I go to the amusement park I make my sister go in the freaky deadly haunted house. Suddenly there was a boney skeleton glowing in the darkness. Next my sister needed to go to the toilet but there were no toilets. We heard a ghoul noise. It was a scary ghost. Then we went into a guardian palace. Next it was all over. By Michael

Whenever I go to the amusement park my brother makes me go to the Haunted House. We sit in a little carriage. We went through a big massive gigantic door which had a big deadly Australian spider on it. There was a little skeleton drawing with vampire's blood. We looked the other way and saw a bat carrying a person's head! There was a silver ghost which was singing “IF YOU DARE GO TO THAT ROOM WITH THAT BIG BROOM, YOU WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD CUT TO PIECES.” Suddenly the cart raced so fast because zombies were chasing us. Next we came to a dead end. We ran a bit. Suddenly we fell into a hole and landed on something soft. It went forwards a bit into the sunlight and the ride was finally over! By Connor

Heroes

Today we discussed what we thought made someone a hero. We decided that they need to be strong, kind, generous, talented and caring.

St George and the dragon

Today we learnt the English legend about St George and the Dragon. The English flag is a red cross on a white background and is said to have originated from St. George.


Once upon a time there was a king and a queen. There was also a dragon who killed people. The dragon was very big and kept attacking the people. St George was very strong. He threw his sword into the dragon's mouth. He died. The princess and St. George were married. By Harshil


One fierce day a terrorizing dragon was eating the sheep, but there were no more sheep. So the king sent the villagers to the dragon to be eaten. The princess got caught by the dragon. Suddenly St. George came to help to attack the dragon. Then St. George married the princess. By Michael


Once upon a time there was a king and a lovely princess. They all lived happily. But the big and fierce dragon came. He lieved in a cold and wet cave. The king said "that dragon has to go!" St George a brave knight, heard what the king had said and made a sneaky plan to kill the dragon. That night, the dragon stole the princess and decided to eat her! The next morning, St George rode a white horse to the dragon's cold, wet cave. He yelled to the dragon "Hey dragon! First eat Mr. Axe." He threw it into the dragon's mouth. The dragon chocked on it and died. St George let the princess on his white horse and in ten minutes they were all safe in the castle. Next they got married.  By Connor

Cole's Dragon Dream by Michael

This is a story which Michael wrote during ACE. He got his ideas from Where the Wild Things Are. Isn't it amazing for a six year old???!!


Cole was outside, he saw the moon shining playfully. Cole was yawning. Cole's mum said " you are getting tired, just go to sleep." And Cole went to sleep happily.
That night Cole had a dream. He dreamed that in his room there was an amazing dragon. The dragon grew and grew until the amazing dragon took Cole off to the moon. Cole cut through the clouds and sped above the sky and into space. Cole didn't hear anything. It sounded silent. Cole felt spectacular! There was a little dot, it grew and grew until it became monstrous. And then Cole landed on the moon. 
It felt squishy and cheesy. Suddenly a pair of big, fat ears popped up from out of a tree. Cole ran away very fast. But the monster said "Peek a boo" in an evil voice. "Can you play tiggy with me?" And so they played tiggy until Cole felt lonely for home. "I want to go home" yelled Cole in a lonely voice. The monster cried sadly "don't go!" The monster tried to wrestle Cole, but Cole lept to his amazing dragon and flew back into space.
The Earth was a tiny dot that grew and grew and grew until it became a monstrous golf ball. Cole flew through his window on his amazing dragon and landed on his bed.


In the morning Cole woke up and looked out of his window and saw the Sun shining playfully at him.

Geek and Nerd Mufti Day

Today we dressed up as geeks and nerds. These are people who like to study a lot, but we learnt that they often become very rich like Bill Gates. They are also good at science and electronics. We need to learn more about clever people like scientists, rather than thinking pop stars and sport people are better. 

Three little elephants

Shaun the sheep's adventures by LZ4

Shaun was bored. Even the dog was bored. Suddenly the blue tractor came down the road. A yellow duck walked slowly in the road. The farmer went sideways and dropped some cabbages. Then one went to the duck and hit it. After the cabbage rolled quickly to the sheep. The sheep kicked it and played soccer. All of them wanted to play soccer. The dog got frightened.

Shaun was going to school, but there was a big fire. He did not know what to do! He thought and thought then he had an idea. He said "we will put the fire out with water." The fire went out.  By Kawiti


One day, the farmer was in his black musty and dusty bed. He got his special glasses and went out of the door. Next he was going out on his tractor, but it didn't work. The dog came to help. The dog accidently sprayed petrol on the farmer's face. The farmer walked around the farm and Shaun the sheep stole his glasses to be a rockstar. Then the farmer drove the tractor and he stopped because there was a scarecrow in front of the road. He wrestled with the scarecrow. He drove back to the farm and crash!!!!! Meanwhile, it was night and the farmer was going to shear the sheep. But Shaun made some new glasses and put them on the farmer. He stopped what he was doing and went to sleep because it was night.  By Michael

My pet elephant

Elmer the elephant

Elmer the Elephant trudged into the jungle. He went into a magic tree house and wished he had lots of colours. His wish came true. He saw a fire engine and the firemen said 'you can come with us to use your trunk and squeeze water out of your trunk.' Elmer saved the day.   By Michael

Elmer the Elephant has lots of colours. When Elmer was born he was grey. His Mum bought some jelly beans and he thought that they were peanuts. Next he ate them. He got the colours on his tummy. He went back home and his Dad said 'where did you get those colours?' So Elmer shared some colours with his family and friends.  By Harman

Elmer the Elephant trudged into the deep jungle. He found a very full jar of jelly beans. He ate every single one of them. When he got back, his friends were amazed with his colours so they went to the empty jelly bean jar and they all made a wish. They wished that they were colourful and the rainbow gave them some colours. They all lived happily ever after.  By Connor

Elmer the Elephant was a rainbow coloured elephant and he had a lot of colours on his body. He trudged into the jungle. Soon he found all of his friends and asked if they would play with him. But his friends said "no." They said he looked ridiculous but they knew that he had got his rainbow colours from some jelly beans because he had eaten them. The elephants laughed at him and he did not like it. He didn't want his rainbow colours anymore.  By Tanisha

Our explanations of Matariki

Matariki is when the seven star sisters come out in June. It is very important for the Maoris. When summertime has past, the Sun is tired so the stars help the Sun. You can see Matariki in the early morning. When the stars shine brightly that means it is going to be a warm winter. If the stars are dull it is going to be not a good winter.   By Michael


Matariki is when the Maori people celebrate New Year. Early in the morning in June, you can see the seven sisters in the blue sky. If you see the seven sisters and they shine that means it is going to be a good warm winter.   By Mellisa


Matariki is a festival in June when the Maori celebrate. Matariki can be seen early in the morning. In the festival, the Maoris do weaving, singing and carving. You can see the seven stars. Te Ra, the Sun, is tired after summer so the seven stars help. They say that if you see the stars that means it's going to be a nice winter and if you can't see them it's going to be wet and cold.  By Connor

If I were a ...

If I was a bee, I would sting people with my stinger and collect nectar from the flowers. I would give the nectar to the Queen. Afterwards all of the bees would eat the honey together.

By Harman

If I was a butterfly I would have beautiful colours. I would have patterns on my wings. If I found flowers I would suck the nectar and lay an egg underneath a leaf. I have a large family.

By Amisha

If I was a praying mantis, I would camouflage myself on a leaf and wait until I caught a fly. When it rains I would hide under a tree and wait until the rain has finished. I would live in the woods with my friends. I would play tag with them.

By Connor

If I was an army ant I would kill a scorpion with my strong team and fight every insect to protect the colony.

By Michael

I love the smell of...

We wrote about the smells that we liked after sharing our favourite smell with the class. 

Ms Koltonowska's favourite smell is just after the rain has hit the ground.

Facts about Ants

 We watched a few documentaries about ants and weaver ants. We also read non-fiction books about ants. After this our teacher asked us what we could remember or already knew about this social creature.

We then did some research on the Internet to find new facts. We had to remember the new information and share it with the class. We are now ant experts so feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

A report on an object

We wrote reports on objects you can find around the classroom today.

Michael and Liam:
The sewing elephant has soft fur inside. It is used for relaxing. It smells like candy floss and lavender. It lives in the elephant box.

Michelle and Harshil:
A black vivid is what people use for going around the outline when we draw. Sometimes people use them for going around the pencil line. The black vivid lives in a pencil case.
