Katie's diamante poem
cassidys narrative poem
So as they were tough they went inside,
but everything stopped and the music died.
they went peeking through the door.
the white bodies were slowly invading their mind.
But as they made their final escape,
out runs a ghost covered in tape.
The ghost yelled "BOO!" and scared them from behind,
but the one thing they wanted was their life to unwind.
That creepy white body followed them out,
but luckily there was a window about.
So they work their way out into the trees,
one turns to another and says "not again please."

Jordan's Confusion poem
Confusion tastes like sweet and sour lollies.
Confusion feels like squishy sloppy soap.
Confusion looks like two Lego sets that you can't choose between.
Confusion sounds like two voices talking at the same time.
Confusion smells like buffet with lots of different aromas.

Monique's narritave poem
in a house that is not home to me.
I heard a groan and then a snore,
my friend almost awoke once more.
That's when I heard a loud thundery sound,
my friends dad yelled at us to get out.
We rushed to get under the door,
then we felt a shake again once more.
Police cars went past guarded with dogs,
followed by people some with pet frogs.
I listened to the phone buzz aloud,
That's when I found out that my parents were safe and sound.
Sitting in the candle light,
shining very big and bright.
I heard the glass getting swept up and I thought in my head oh look at that muck.
When I went home to see my family,
most of my cousins were there with me.
When my aunties and uncles returned to their homes,
They were enraged about their stuff getting stolen.
When my mum and I went to new world I almost hurled,
Because the old Christchurch will never be rebuilt the same again.
When we got to the shops,
all the shelves needed to be restocked.
No more people are stricken,
Like headless chickens.
Homes have been rebuilt,
As we have cleaned up all the silt.
Families are happier,
And dogs cant stop yapping.
Christchurch is a better place than is was before,
There are no sad faces anymore.
By Monique Motufoua!
Summers Emotion Poem
It tastes like greasy chicken drumsticks all over your now dirty face.
It smells like your friend farting and blaming it on you.
It looks like your face Blushing with Red.
It sounds like a burst of laughter coming at you.
It feels like you burping into your crushes face.

The Duckit by Katie
The Duckit lives in a hole next to a pond so it can bath in the day and sleep in a warm snugly burrow so no evil predators can get in and try to eat it.
The Duckit loves to eat carrots shaped as fish. If the Duckit likes something it's nose starts to twitch but if it hates something it makes the worst noise ever. It almost makes you deaf.
One thing the Duckit LOVES is sneaking into houses and eating all the fish and carrots. Now the Duckit is a very unpleasant animal so if you got too close it would hiss at you, try to bite you or inject poison into you.
The Duckit is now so rare because they are hunted for their meat and their tails because they can cure sicknesses.

Moniques animal creative writing
A puck has a pig head and a duck's body. Its legs are yellow and stick-like and its toenails are pink to match their big puffy tutus.
Pucks live in a cave under the sea.They think they are in beauty pageants.These creatures only go out at night time. Pucks are at the bottom of the food chain that's why they only go out at night time.
Pucks eat chocolate, lollies, chips and food scraps from the bin when they go out at night.Pucks wouldn't eat healthy food if their life depended on it!
The puck makes a snorting sound and a quack sound mixed together. Pucks waddle like ducks. Now you know a lot of information about Pucks, I hope it is useful in the future.
alexis monowl story
Monowl lives on owl island in a luxury tree crowded with heaps of squirrels also with lots and lots of branches and emerald green leaves. He eats shiny yellow bananas, delicious scaly fish, smooth honey, cool coconuts, school work and wonderful vines!!!!!
Monowl can swim, fly, swing and he can dance as well. He can swim to the deepest of the deep sea, fly into outer SPACE, swing through the tallest of trees and dance to the fanciest of music.
When he is happy he sounds like oh oh aw aw, but when he's angry he kicks, punches, bites and sometimes if you get him REALLY angry he can break your bones. Now he lives happily with his friends in Owl Island.

Cindersmelly snorry rorry
A month later CSR was walking through the Smellyland market when she bumped into an ugly looking man. I guess he was as ugly as her. ''Hello" he said, "my name is CSR aka Cindersmelly snorry rorry.'' Then... POOF a cloud of dust surrounded Gertrood but he turned out to be rubber Rut ''Rubber Rut what are you doing," CSR cried.
"Sorry"he said, "I just wanted to impress you". CSR was stunned and all she could think about was if she could change Rubber Rut back forever." If you kiss me on the butt I will turn back into Gertrood'' he said. ''Okay'' said CSR, so she did. Then it happened, she turned beautiful and Rubber Rut turned into Gertrood. ''Oh no'' she cried! There was only one way for CSR to be ugly again...
So CSR and Gertrood went on the quest to find the rear plant flabbergast, it was a long and tiring trip. Finally they returned to the swamp and CSR mixed up the plant with water and gulped down the antidote and returned to her ugly self.
Two years later Gertrooed and CSR got married and had two ugly little children. One was a little girl named Lopley and the other was a little boy named Peeeta. They lived stinkly ever after in the little cottage in the swamp.
THE END
The Monkat!!!
The Monkat likes to live in a nice big cosy bush in some backyards, where during the day it will collect up lots of feathers and anything fluffy and will bring it back to its nest. When it comes to nighttime it will climb to its nest in a chosen tree, spin around three times, curl up and wrap its tail around itself then go to sleep.
This animal the Monkat loves to eat. This is a list of the foods it can eat. It eats tropical fish from the Pacific Ocean, little yellow fuzzy banana mice and yummy soft banana brain biscuits. As a nice little treat it can have banana milkshakes and tropical banana mice. It can have other things too but they're allergic to yoghurt, peanuts, honey, peanut and jelly sandwiches!!! If they eat any of these foods they will be paralysed and die.
A Monkat moves silently by swinging on its long, strong, fluffy tail but if it gets tired it will walk quietly on its little paws. When it is nice and happy it makes a Bazaar Boo! Bazaar Boo! sound when its angry it makes a woo Wang woo Wang. If you hear it go MiG yow it is probably asking you something.
For a fact the Monkat is very small, if you own one be careful of where you put your feet in case you accidentally squash it flat.

Maddi's Favourite day
When I came inside my grandma was getting the pavlova ready so I said I'd help her. About 15 minutes later it was time to open the presents. My dad acted as Santa and my uncle acted as Santa's little helper. The youngest got their presents first. Taine got his first then Jade, Tayla, Connor, Paige, me, Soreya, Rhys and then Nicole.
Next was the adults. They got stuff like body cream things and stuff like that.I got a Twilight board game and an Eclipse film book. It was from my auntie Tania and uncle Wayne so I said thank you. I got some other things as well as a scooter, sandals, hair clips and heaps of earrings!
Then I went outside and my auntie was there, suddenly music started playing, it was Stan W'alker my aunties absolute favourite singer. She grabbed me and we danced to the song 'Little Black Box'.
But thank goodness the lunch time call saved me! For lunch we had wobbly jelly, delicious club sandwiches and white Ambrosia and heaps more other yummy stuff.
I had the best day ever, the nicest food, the most embarrassing dance and the best day with my family!!!!!!
J.P's Cinderella Story
Katie's Cinderella Story
Now Lucy had a very rich family so she could go down to the shops everyday and buy another fab book full to the very tip top of animals and cool facts about them.
Every now and again Lucy and her family would go for a walk through the forest next to the lake. One fine day Lucy and her family went on their normal walk through the forest and up the lake. Like every kid Lucy got distracted by looking at a bird and did not notice her parents getting further and further into the distance.
Years passed and her parents never found Lucy. It turns out Lucy had became friends with the animals. Time was flying by and there was no sign of Lucy anywhere. Eventually Lucy was found but there was one problem............ Lucy didn't want to go.
Lucy's mum and dad were very upset and quite surprised. After a lot of asking and encouraging Lucy went. But Lucy wasn't the only one who went. All her friends in the forest went too and lived a very happy life and occasionally visited the lush forest scenery again.

Ashlee's animal story LOG
This out of the ordinary creature has problems trying to move around, although you would think this animal has one brain it really has TWO BRAINS. This is not normally common but in this jungle there are some very mucked up animals, they can have up to 10 brains.
This abnormal animal loves to eat dog food , but occasionally you could find him munching on old bark from an old oak tree. But finding an animal that eats food like that must mean they like fine cuisine. The bark must be over the age of 50 years, it's really a lot like cheese, the older it gets the better it tastes .
One of logs special things is walking backwards but this can be a problem such as what if dog was interested in some birds... see what I mean! This is an amazing part of this animal it has a fight but its not physical instead through the brains it sorts it out. This just takes my breath away. And that's my story about my animal Log.

Euan;s Tornado Explanation
Tornadoes start by rising hot tropical and descending polar cold air. Next thunder and cloud are needed for tornado to form.
After that turbulent air the currents in clouds spin. Then a column of air called a vortex will descend and gets bigger as more air gets sucked in.
Finally the tornado hits the ground and it's not going to stop until its puffed. Last of all you can choose to die while you're in it or get kicked out and brake some bones. After about an hour
it will go poof.
Did you know that in the Bangladesh tornado 1,300 people died in 1989. And Mid West America is called Tornado Alley because the boiling hot air from Mexico and the freezing cold air from Canada form many tornadoes.

A Messy Room
I wounder how this room got so messy?
Firstly, this messy room was caused by a little child trying to find something like a toy or trying to find out what the disgusting smell was and how it got there.
Secondly, the child was asked to put away his clothes but instead he put them on his bed and
decided that because his mum wasn't there he would jump on the bed. When he jumped all the clothes went on the floor.
Lastly, the dog and cat came in and started running around like mad things but suddenly the dog did it's busniess in the bed and the cat starts to lick it but instead throws up all over the carpet. Then the cat jumped into a bowl of milk and it went everywhere.
Next time the child should put the clothes away,not jump on the bed and keep all his pets out of thier room.
Alexis' messy room
How did this room get so disgusting?
Firstly, the horbile mess has been done by Alexis because Alexis needed her misplaced libray book and she chucked all the books onto the floor.
Then Alexis' mum had been looking for her giant high heel shoes and she threw all of alexis' things on the ground.
Finally, Alexis' feline had walked in with it's awfully muddy paws and chased a bird all around the room and hit a picture ,wrecked Alexis' homework book and scratched all of Alexis' bed.
Reseachers have shown Alexis should clean her room as soon as it gets in this state and make sure that the feline is under control.
How did this room get messy?
This child's feline has snuck in while the people were out. It scratched the matress , knocked over some ink and attempted to climb the walls, leaving muddy paw marks everywhere. But the cat can't have done all of it.
Next the boy has walked into his room and discovered that his room was in a mad state. But he could not be bothered to tidy everything up. His cat fell over into a bowl of melted ice-cream from the night before. Sticky and wet, the feline jumped onto the bed to have a rest. The boy tipped the bed upside down to cover the mess.
Finally at 3:04 am a 5.3 earthquake hit and his plants snapped due to the violent shaking, the feline jumped into the wardrobe, piled up clothes fell out covering the floor.
This boy should keep his cat under control, to not leave things lying around, hang up his clothes and to not be lazy at all.
Janaya's messy room.
Secondly, Janaya's dad just got home from work, charged in and plonked his clothes in my room and got out 10 outfit's and disorganised my room with cabinet things on my floor. What an untidy, disorganised room and lefted me to tidy it up.
Every thing was tidy that night!
That night a violent quake hit, my drawers opened and all my clothes fell out. After mum was looking through my drawers, she threw every thing out to find the keys to her car because she chucked them in there 3 hours before the quake.
Janaya's mum and dad should go and make their room a mess not Janaya's and mum and dad should stay in the same clothes!

Crusaders vs the Sharks
Last Monday morning my Dad and I got up at 4am to watch the Crusaders VS the sharks. It was a cracker of a game and it was definitely worth getting up. I woke up my Dad by pulling his nose, he got a massive fright like a boogie man coming in to your room and yelling BOO!!! That would be scary!
Eventually my Dad started to dose off so….. I got my Nerf gun and shot him in the belly and he was too afraid to fall asleep again.
Later on in the game about 15 minutes to go my Dad couldn’t help himself he had to fall asleep. There he was dribbling away like slippery slimy soap OOO… Gross yucky . I didn't shoot him because I wanted to wait until its all over ,then shoot him like a hunter , and never tell him the final score. Oh I’m as naughty as Darth Vader . At the end of the game I got ready to shoot . I loaded it up and BOOM the bullet fired right into his belly and again BOOM it must’ve hurt. I yelled with laughter, "you missed the game." He said to me I had a dream about a little boy about you’re age with this yellow toy gun shooting me and some how it really hurt. Dad pulled up his top and there was a massive red mark turning into purple!
The final score was 44-28 .
Summer's Fun Birthday
For my birthday I had Emily, Laura, Mum, Dad, family and friends come to my birthday. It was at Monkey Spices on the 30th of March.
First we played a fun game Deal or no Deal that I got from my Mum, Dad and Brother. Emily was whining because she was always losing. It was so funny my Mum even laughed.
Next we were telling ghost stories it was weird cause then the lights dimed.
Emily told a boogieman story that was funny not scary. Laura told a funny story when we were telling scary stories.
Eventually the cake came out. When they started singing happy birthday I was thinking in my head this is so embarrassing. The cake was ice-cream and yummy. I did have a Medera cake but we cancelled it.
After we made spitballs out of our straws and napkins, they were soaking wet and they wouldn’t stick. If they were a little bit wet they would stick. It was as funny as a bird singing.
I liked my birthday, even though I wanted it at Lonestar, it was still the best I've had.
Raining Heavy
We reached half way then it was hailing and lots of twig's fell on us. It was funny becuase one fell on dad and he was angry.
We reached McDonalds. I ordered a big mac , large fries and a coke.
We finally reached home. I nearly finished my meal . My brother didn't finish his either. I only had a burger and some of my fries. My brother only had to finish his extra burger and his
milkshake .
When we finished eating we brushed our teeth and went to bed. I felt tired.

A day in Dunedin
During the time that Mum, Dad, Grandma and Poppa were having a hot cup of tea, I was devising of an awesome surprise plan. Aunty Les knew Mum and Dad had come down, but she did not know I had come down as well. I will surprise Aunty Les, I thought. I told everyone else about the plan before we went over, and they agreed I should do it.
Eventually we reached Aunty Leslie's house. I walked behind Mum, hiding myself from Aunty Les and everyone else there. When we reached the open front door, I jumped out and yelled "Happy Birthday!" Aunty Les fell back in her blue comfy chair. I went up to her and gave her a golden box tied with a satin brown ribbon. Inside lay a beautiful blue bracelet like shining paua, that I made myself.
For tea there was yummy mince pies, a seasame seed loaf, golden sausage rolls and juicy red mini sausages. For pudding we had delicious kiwi pavlova, strawberry jelly and chocolate lamingtons. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aunty Leslie really loved her blue bracelet.I felt really tired and full, since I ate most of the chocolate lamingtons. It was a superb day.
