ROBIN HOOD by Ayden Mackie

2010-10-20T17:25:00.000-07:00

ROBIN Hood is a daring
OUTCAST who is smart and sneaky
BUT is also a vile law breaker
IN England
NOW he would be a forest ranger with his merry men
HE stole from the rich and gave to the poor. His name would be heard all
Over En-gland. IT
ONLY gave blessings to the poor and curses to the rich. But he
DID claim the golden arrow at the sheriff of Notting hams archery contest so he was the best archery in the land

7 DWARFS by Jack Hollinshead

2010-10-20T16:54:00.000-07:00

7dwarfs singing away as they dig for gold.
Dopey the dwarf is dumb as a door knob and the youngest of them all.
With all the seven dwarfs walking home singing hi ho hi ho it’s off to work we go.
As Doc the smartest working away as he searches up a mathematic question while the others just sit there and sing.
Running and dancing around is Dopey Doc Grumpy Happy Sneezy Bashful all except for Sleepy.
Feisty and angriest of them all is Grumpy.
Snow white the person that takes care of the seven dwarfs and has great times with them.

WOLF Poem by Elizabeth Barnett

2010-10-13T15:35:00.000-07:00

W-Wicked, old wolf wants a meal and gran had a squeal, he took one big bite and gran was gone.
O-On went grans clothes, he pulled the sheets right up to his nose .He lay in bed, waiting for little red.
L-Little red walked through the door and Wolf got ready for the glory of a delicious. Delicious he thought.
F-Furry wolf got ready to pounce, but suddenly little red SCREAMED!!!!!! And the woodcutter arrived and the wolfs head got chopped off.

Wolf by Tyson

2010-09-15T17:13:00.000-07:00

Wrenching breaf reeks of an old grandma who he just devoured for a snack.
Oddly out of the blue wolf asks little red what’s in her bag the greedy little mutt hoping for some goodies.
Lurking silently through the forest floor searching for a mighty feast.
Fierce and rough willing enough to eat a defenceless grandma in one big GULP!!!

Wolf by Jed

2010-09-13T20:27:00.000-07:00

W ickedly revolting carnivorous bloodstained grumbling rumbling teeth used to devour the shell-shocked Granny,
‘O’ such a creepy cannibal with gruesome sharp claws used to terrify harmless white as a sheep Red Riding Hood,
L acking kindness and friendliness to the townsfolk therefore causing his destructive demise which apparently for Red Riding Hood and Granny was good,
F reaky furry fellow sneakily creeping evilly around the forest being frightening just for fun. Oh whenever will he learn?

By Jed

Peter Pan by Henry

2010-09-13T20:07:00.000-07:00

The one who has the ability to fly,
As he swiftly breezes through the sky.
In his home land called Never Land.
I wonder who he is?

He’s green as a leaf with such a strong belief,
With a green pointy hat with a feather on that.
He’s a skilled fighter and light on his toes,
Which really helps him defeat his foes.

“Zoom, twist, twirl”
“Zoom, twist, whirl”
What a surprise,
He came to us with such a rise.
It’s Peter Pan,
In his home land.
I’ll say it again,
Called Never Land.

MY BIG MOUTH

2010-07-20T19:51:00.000-07:00

Me and my big mouth here I am seven thousand feet in the air, sitting silently, cold sweat runs down my face, I'm glued to the seat of the sky diving plane.

Above the roar of the engine the pilot calls out "Time to jump." Bang! It hit me, a wave of fear caused the butterflies to mutiply! Slowly I get out of my seat, nerves churning and my guts flipping.

John, my sky diving instructor, was strapped to my back. Thank God he was there! He makes me feel safe.

I take two steps, than I hear the wind gushing past my face which makes me one hundred times more nervous. My eyes shut like an air tight room.

Nervously I slowly open my eyes, shivering with fear of the great jump.Over coming my nerves, I am going to jump. "1, 2, 3, Jump!" "Wow, this is amazing" I yell as I gaze into the view. In a couple of seconds all I can see is green grass. Then I relise I have jumped and I have lived!

Note to self: Never play dares with my brother!

Wizards

2010-07-20T19:23:00.000-07:00

On camp I played wizards with Tahlia, Cerese and Isabel. This is what I did.

I stood in the middle of the battle Field cautiously thinking of the right spells. In the blink of an eye ... POW! I stood dead still, frozen solid, I was frozen by Cerese's night wand with the combined force of her daughter Tahlia, plus the night. Why in the world would I battle a dark wizard in the night? I thought I was a goner but at that moment I was teleported home and unfrozen.

Too bad it was only a game, but I felt so happy but also a little disappointed.

Man o man that was such as fun day at camp I just cant wait for another exciting day like that!!!

Remember Cross Country 2010

2010-06-20T16:26:00.000-07:00

On a sunny day I remember Cross Country.

My feet remember dodging all the fresh and disgusting cow poo in my way.

My head remembers sweat coming down my face as I ran up the stony steep driveway.

My legs remember feeling painful as I ran up the long steep hill.

My eyes remember seeing the lollie bag as I went past the finish line.

My ears remember the folks cheering for me as I nearly passed the finish line.

My heart remembers it couldn't stop pumping really hard.

My hands remember giving my friends high fives for being really good at running.

My face remembers the crowd cheering the runners on.

My mind remember waiting for our ice blocks and sausages,after our race.

Remembering cross country 2010

2010-06-20T16:25:00.000-07:00

On a fine sunny day I remember cross country.

My legs remember aching like they are being repeatedly hit by a hammer as I took the last strides over the line.

My eyes remember all of the kids cheering me on as I descend down the gully.

My toes remember feeling the warm squishy cow poo between my toes.
My stomach remembers having the excruciating pain called stitch.
My feet remember being frozen like ice.
My lungs remember working harder than ever.
My eyes remember seeing Harry in front of me.
My hair remembers swaying lightly in the wind.
My ears remember the crowd cheering me on as I struggled over the line.
My mind remembers feeling proud as I cross the finish line.

Remembering Cross Country

2010-06-20T15:03:00.000-07:00

On a wet rainy day I remember cross country.

I remember the wet soggy grass squeezing through the thin slots of my toes,

I remember the cold air surrounding my skinny body helping to cool me down,

I remember my feet getting more and more numb as I run with speed across the cold grass.

I remember my sore legs running up the rocky road as steep as mount Everest,

I remember my senses smelling delicious meat sausages sizzling on the BBQ.

I remember hearing the noisy crowd cheering people on,

I remember my body slowing right down at the finish line,my bones aching.

That was awesome!

Horrified

2010-06-10T17:09:00.001-07:00

Carefully creeping out of my bed on a cold freezing night, I get out of bed to get my cute green bunny slippers. I get out of bed trying to see the thunder. Lightening and rain outside, not even one bright star in the sky to light my path. My room pitch black, there I was nervously opening the wardrobe door, the squeaking sound so loud in the silence. After I have slipped my slippers on I look up, AHHHHH.... I scream, horrified. It was my brother, my naughty annoying younger brother trying to scare me. Surely everyone will wake up now I thought. Everyone already had. I slowly crouched down trying for no one to see me. I carefully look back, two lights already on. I scatter like a mouse to the space on my bed. I climb up slowly, oh no my uncle had already seen me, he walked over to me curious of what was going on. I anxiously stand up. "I can explain, I was just going to see the thunder" I say nervously. "OK go back to sleep" says my uncle. I get into bed, so does my brother. I soon snooze off and so does the thunder.

Saving a chick at the supermarket by Liam Bennett

2010-05-18T16:18:00.000-07:00

We went to the supermarket at 12pm to buy milk & eggs. My friend Trevor was with me this day. While we were at the dairy isle looking at eggs I was dumbfounded as I watched a egg starting to hatch.

Trevor said "GO TO THE CHECKOUT"!!!!.

I followed the checkout lady back to the egg and to my astonishmant there was a little chick so I put it in my handbag & took it home.

Here's your new home Fireball.

So that was me saving a chick at the supermarket.
I wish God hadn't made eggs to be eaten.

Worm Farms

2010-04-22T16:07:00.000-07:00

Making a worm farm

I used a glass jar

I put gravel in

I put dirt out of the stream in

I put soil from the garden in

I put grass clippings in

Then I put leaves in

And put some worms in

Facts:

keep putting food scarps in like:

Apple cores

Egg shells

Orange peels

Wool

Paper

Keep the worm farm in the shade.

Take the pips out before putting the food scraps in.

Spitting Cobra

2010-04-21T16:46:00.000-07:00

Above the cobra are vultures getting dizzy circling the cobras prey.
Below the cobra is the harsh, sandy desert ground.
Beside the cobra are grey, murky rocks still as can be while bathing in sun.
Around the cobra sand storms whirling and swriling like mini tornados.
Inside the cobras mouth fangs with posion ready for the attack.

THE NOSE

Above the nose is the glinting eyes .

Beside the nose are the puffy, grandma pinching cheeks.

Under the nose is the germ carrying, finger sucking, mouth.

Around the nose is a pretty pink face.

Inside the nose are tiny, dust catching hairs and a finger picking BBOOGGEERRSS.

Turtles

2010-03-31T14:04:00.000-07:00

It would be ultimately sad if I knew a plastic bag you dropped got into a turtles tummy!

Turtles have been around for 215 million years.When they get hurt I get saddened.
I love turtles.I like their noses and shells.
They are pretty interesting.Their eggs are like small cheese balls.I like this about their eggs.

You see turtles on the T.V and computer games.You have Ninja turtles and Super Mario has Koopa Turtles.If I had a turtle I would call it Sapphire.Mario would give you a 1 up.It would stop you from dropping rubbish ever again.

Live the dream

2010-03-31T13:32:00.000-07:00

If I was a wild life photographer,
My feet would feel tired and sweaty inside my heavy boots.
My legs would be aching from walking over the sinking sand and rough ground and rocks,
My fingers would feel rough as I touched the bristly bark of a tree trunk.
My ear would hear the distant trumpet of an elephant,
My body would feel excited when I got an amazing shot.

If I Was An Artist.

2010-03-28T12:38:00.000-07:00

My eyes would be fixed on bright colours bursting off my canvas as they washed off my brush.
My ears would be listening to my brush flicking smoothly.
My fingers would be moving quickly like a stingrays tail.
My mouth would be sealed shut, still and quiet like a lion about to get his prey.
My mind would be peering into what my art would look like when it's done.

Climbing the tree.

2010-03-24T12:57:00.000-07:00

Trying to heave myself into a twisty maze 0f branches and leaves as fast and as expertly as a pro rock climber while also looking for perfect handholds and footholds.Wanting to get the highest the fastest.

I'm feeling competitive,I'm feeling confident, and I'm feeling like a winner.I pull myself into the tree but suddenly I slip, I fall and I slam onto the ground in a cloud of dust as if a small bomb had exploded in the middle of the desert.I lie on the ground there, stunned.I don't try to climb it again.I've been overwhelmed, I've been defeated.

Xanthe's Photo Shoot

Codys' Koru Pattern Design.

2010-03-22T15:17:00.000-07:00

A koru is a spiral, and represents new life. Just like a baby grows into an adult, a fern frond slowly uncurls and grows bigger. I can also represent relationships.

My piece of art represents the people in my family and my friends.

The three koru's at the top represent my mum, dad and brother; the three most important people in my life.

The red koru, the green back ground and the small white and green fronds represent me and the relationship I have with all the people in my art.

The koru's in the two corners represents my friends and everyone I have ever met.

Live the Dream- By Jackson

2010-02-17T12:35:00.000-08:00

If I was an All Black

My blue eyes would see people coming towards me
My black boots would have to move very quickly
My legs would have to kick and run all the time.

My head would have to look left and right looking for the opposition with the ball
My body would have to move most of the time
My mind would have to be thinking what we were doing next
My arms would have to pass to my team mates
My mouth would be yelling out to my friends to pass the ball or to say Good job

If I was an artist

My arms would accuratly move the paint brush along the canvas

My eyes would be concentrating not to make an error

My brain would be thinking of what colours to use

My ears would be hearing the strokes of the brush

My whole body would be trying not to bump the painting easel
