THE DISAPPEARING DOG

My dog jumped up and started barking, and then he ran out of the house. I ran after him but when I got outside I saw him floating in mid air, he started rising higher and higher. I tried grabbing him but he was too high so I ran inside frantically all this time him barking like mad. I yelled out for my Dad I knew e would be tall enough but I couldn’t find him. There was a plastic rake in the shed that we had bought the day before so I ran to get it. The shed door was locked but Dad’s voice was faintly heard in the distance. There was also a familiar sound drowning out most of his voice. It took me a while but I ran over to the neighbor’s house because I remembered that Dad was going over to chop down some trees with his chainsaw. I jumped the fence ran over to him and yelled, but he couldn’t hear me, he had his earmuffs on. While I was going back to the house the sound of the chainsaw stopped and was replaced with a large thump, the tree was cut down. I ran back up to him and pulled his hand, I ran away and he followed. But when we got there… he was gone.

The Luck Ticket

The lucky ticket

The Gars’ household was very busy when Maia got home. She told her kids to be quiet and go to the car to get the shopping. After they had finished unloading the car their mum announced something amazing. She had gotten a lotto ticket from the supermarket. You wouldn’t think it was amazing but they cost a lot those days. “Kids I got a lotto ticket so we have to watch t.v tonight.” “Normally you’re the one who stoops us from watching t.v!” said Anna, the oldest child. “Well today you’re not doing any chores until after the lotto show.” The kids started saying what they might get if they win lotto. “I’m going to get a bike” “Let’s have a party.” “Let’s get another house” “STOP IT ALL OF YOU!” shouted their mother you’ll get nothing if you carry this on!” Natalia, the second oldest, said “Mum, the t.v show is on now.” So all of them sat on the floor or on a pillow relaxing while Maia sat up in her chair hoping to win. “And the last number is….” “AHHHHHHH” screamed Maia. “We’ve won!!!” All of the young kids fainted while Maia sat staring at a photo of a luxurious get away bach. They all went there to live and they lived Happily Ever After.
The End
P.S. All the kids got what they wanted.

Pyramids

Introduction
If time could stand still, or even go backwards I would go to the time of the Ancient Egyptians. I would go because seeing and building the pyramids would be cool.

Chapter 1
Egypt

Suddenly I have gone to the time when the first pyramids were built, but it’s not like I imagined it would be. There was bright yellow sand and the pyramids were made out of solid sand blocks. In every pyramid there is some shiny treasure. I didn’t imagine that the sand would be so bright or so many people working on one pyramid. I was astonished at all the sights and the beautiful statues made out of the golden sand.
Suddenly, out of nowhere a very windy sandstorm knocked four of the sand statues over. When I saw the toppling of the pyramids I ran as fast as I could in the direction away from the sand storm.
I had been running for about 47 minutes when I saw another sand storm in front of me. “Ahhhhhhh”, I screamed because everywhere I looked there were sand storms. I couldn’t escape, unless I snuck through the tiny gap in the storms.

I started to creep towards the gap; it was getting smaller by the second! If I didn’t hurry up I would never escape.

As scared as I was, I decided to run as fast as I could towards the gap. The closer I got the smaller it got so I started to sprint, as I was wondering what is going to happen.

Chapter 2
Where am I?

I think I got through, but I’m not exactly sure because I feel like I’m spinning around in circles. In my head I had images of treasure: jewels, gold, silver, bronze, copper and crowns.

I started to fall, but I couldn’t remember why. Then it came back to me, I’d been caught up in a sand storm.

Once I’d gained my strength back, I started to stand up. “Owwwwwww, I think I’ve broken a bone in one of my legs,” I said in pain. I decided to drag myself back to my time machine. Just after I’d decided that my time machine appeared right in front of my eyes. “Wow, what just happened,” I said in surprise. I slithered like a snake into the time machine and set the timer to 3456ad. “Can’t go into the future,” said the computer stored inside the machine as it tipped me out.

When I was out of the machine, it disappeared from sight. “What the…………,” my voice trailed away as I started to drag myself towards the pyramids. I was thinking why is this happening to me.

Chapter 3
Back At the Pyramids

I’ve got back to the pyramids, but it’s a horrible sight because everything is in ruins.

I looked around, nothing, not a person in sight.

“Wha….. where am I?” One of my friends had been lucky enough to get a break from rebuilding the pyramids came and helped me up. “Thank you” I said in a quiet voice as I drifited off to sleep again. I woke up to see all my egyptain friends around me. “Yay, you’re alive,” one of them said.

I sat up and looked around once the excitement had died down. I found myself in the treasure room of a pyramid. “Wow!” I cried out. “So much treasure.” There was piles and piles of presious stones- like opals and dimonds.

Chapter 4
Going home

“Yes, I just remembered that my reserve time machine controller was in my pocket. “Take me home” I said. Suddenly I was sitting on my bed at home.

The end.

A group of children today wrote their own poems using "Did you ever see?" Here is our attempt . Can you write your own using this style?

Did you ever see?

Did you ever see a traffic jam?

Sitting, waiting, red lights, frustrating.




Did you ever see a roaring fire?

Flaming, burning, hot, keeping me warm.

The Hurry

It was raining heavily when Ila stepped out of the car. She walked fast and got to the door steps” Knock, Knock” She shouted. ”Anyone home?” She heard a grumpy voice say “Go away” Then she heard” Are you alone on the steps?”” Umm, I have my parents, big brother, big sister and small baby twins in the car.” ” Tell your family to come in” O.K” Yelled Ila over the wind. Her little sister anyway was crying and yelling her head off wanting to go to the toilet. The lady opened the door and said “Hurry. Tell your family you may enter if you give me 5 golden coins.” ” But we don’t have any gold coins!!!!” “Then go away the woman screamed. Ila ran back to the car only to find them have blood around the whole car. “What happened?!!?!!?” Ila cried and screamed together. Her dad softly said” Go and give the lady your mums gold earrings, bracelet and necklace. That’s all the gold we have. It’ll have to do or we won’t live.” ”ok sobbed Ila. Her dad got the stuff off Ila’s mum and gave it to Ila. “Hurry “Wheezed her dad. Ila ran out of the car with the gold in her hands. She knocked on the door and the woman said” Hand it over.” Ila asked if she could use the phone if she gave her the gold. “No!!!!!!” The lady snatched it off Ila and shut the door. Ila threw a large rock at the window but it just bounced off and hit Ila in the head. She went unconscious. The lady shot Ila’s family dead. Ila woke up in a strange world. Everything was either black or white. “What happened?” She said frustrated. The lady came out of the corner with very dark pink high heels. “I have taken you to my kingdom where all are appreciated. You will be taken back in time to change what you do in the car. It will make your family drive on and they wont be dead anymore.” Ila said” Ohhh thank-you so much. I will give you 10,000 gold coins and you will be happy forever. Bye nice old lady” ”Bye” The lady smiled softly. Ila ran back to the car and as the lady said, her family was there again all healthy and they didn’t even know that they died. Ila sat in the car and said”Mum, Dad the lady wasn’t there, I mean ummm the person that lives there isn’t there so we should drive on. “You sound suspicious” said her annoyed parents.”

There once was a haunted house. It was brought by this very stupid family. There are 10 people in this hideous, massive family. The family is Angie, Jake, Monny, Mikey, Natalia, Nira, Kita, Nenna and their mum and dad Nigel and Karina.
Angie is very skinny with long black silky hair. She wears dark clothes to match her hair.
Natalia has short blonde hair. She wears a mini skirt that is bright blue and a v-neck top that was so bright you couldn’t look at it for very long.
Nira and Kita are twins. They have a darker skin tone. They both wear denim jeans and pink jackets. They both thought they were as pretty as a pink butterfly.
Nenna is double-chinned and she is fat. She has the lightest skin tone. She wears a big long shirt and skinny jeans that every time she walks her thighs wobble ferociously. She hardly goes outside. She wears an awesome $5.000 watch made of gold, but she can’t show it because the fat is around it so you can’t see it. Her hair is dark black and very long. She also has a king-sized bed and has big doorways.
Jake is muscly and he works out 3 hours a day. He has a skull tattooed on each arm at the shoulder. He also has a tattoo saying “I love teddy bears” on his tummy.
Monny is a nerd. He wears big glasses. He has short shorts and a collared t-shirt. On his t-shirt is says”I’m a nerdy nerd”
Mikey wears black baggy pants. He wears a bright pink fluffy t-shirt. He is a ballroom dancer. He has short orange hair.
Nigel wears a singlet and long black pants. He has a mohawk. He also has a glass eye and the other eye is evil looking. I don’t know why Karina married him!!!
Karina is the nicest in the family. She wears a knee high purple skirt. She wears a red petticoat. She wears black high heels. She is a ballroom dancer with her son. OK let’s get to the story. So they brought the house, but they didn’t know it was haunted. There was Blood Sucking Frogs, but Nigel and Karina didn’t care. Well they didn’t even know. It took them nearly the whole day to unpack there stuff. When Nira and Kita had woken up they found their hair all tangled up when they plaited it. So did all the other girls. Nenna couldn’t even see it. She found it very difficult to even stand up. Nira Kita found a pocket sized lovely, little, thin, young and handsome prince that was alive but tiny. Natalia found white baby powder all on her face. Angie jumped up to the short, radiant, pretty, ancient bony, fat, little girl that was up on her bed crouching down so she could see her face of the miniature girl looking at her with big beady eyes. Angie picked up the girl and said “What’s your name?” "I am Nenna " answered the tiny voice.I am a future person of Nenna. Please make her skinny or she will die. I had to go through dieing. Please. " Angie slowly and quietly said "Ok."

Snake Attack!

One day long, long ago a girl called Roseanna was walking to Simon’s house when she saw a group of stripy snakes slithering towards her. “AHHH, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES” she screamed at the top of her voice.
The snakes laughed, they weren’t real snakes, they were only teenagers dressed in a very good snake costumes.
Roseanna had a right to be scared of snakes. Her mother had being poisoned by a rattlesnake and died.
Roseanna was still sad that her Mum had died of a nasty snake bite and her Dad had never behaved the same way since the Mum had died.
Since the pretend snakes had gone, Roseanna carried on walking to Simon’s house.
Roseanna was almost at Simon’s house when she saw one of her worst enemies walking straight towards her. She got so scared that she jumped into the nearest bush. Unluckily for her the bush was very prickly, but luckily the bully walked right past her, listening to his i-pod.
When she was sure the bully was gone, she got out the prickly bush and sprinted to Simon’s house.
“Roseanna I’ve been expecting you!” cried Simon “I’ve missed your lovely expression…..What happened?” he asked. “The… bully… came… and tried... to… attack… me.., but I… jumped… into… a… very prickly… bush”, she panted. “Ohhh, poor you”, said Simon symatically.
“I’m alright, Simon,” said Roseanna. Then Simon went to get some drinks, the doorbell rang, meow.
“Ahhhh,” screamed Roseanna! “What is it” called Simon from the kitchen. “I’m scared of cat’s”, said Roseanna in a shaky voice. “There wasn’t a cat, it as just the doorbell”, he called as he bought the drinks into the dining room.
He put the drinks down on the dining room table and went to answer the door. “It’s Puti and Gemma”, he called to Roseanna.
“YAY I wanted to see them” cried Roseanna!
When Puti and Gemma heard Roseanna’s voice they ran away.
“They ran away”, said Simon sadly as he started to come back to Roseanna. “No they haven’t”, Roseanna laughed, moving aside to reveal Puti and Gemma right behind her. “There right here”. “Ha, ha, ha,” laughed Simon lamely.
When Simon came into the dining room Roseanna had mysteriously disappeared. “Huh” Simon said with wide eyes “Where are you, Roseanna’.
After a hour, Roseanna appeared right behind him and poked him hard in the back. "OW!" he screamed.

Roseanna laughed, "You're funny Simon!". "Be quiet, Roseanna" he said in his very frustrating voice.

Roseanna decided that it was time to go home, so she sneaked into Simon's room and used his teleporter and teleported back to her house just in time for dinner.

The Robot who did my Homework

Every week I do my Homework, I get everything wrong. My Mum doesn’t know about me getting everything wrong. The Teacher always sends me to the timeout room. Its gets frustrating. So I made a robot to do m Homework. The robot did my Homework every week. The teacher was Impressed with my homework,(well it’s the robots homework)that she made me student of the month. It was fun, Mum made a mini-cake and gave me a big floppy kiss on my cheek, I felt sorry for the robot, so I went upstairs to see him. He was there. Just sitting there. Not playing with anyone. I saw that his was sad and sorrow. So I made him a pet dog. He seemed Happy. I also made a friend robot. He was still doing my homework. I programmed him to go and play with is pet dog and friend. It was almost was almost as if he were a real boy. The more correct answers I got the more I felt guilty. Most days I played with the robot. But then one day I felt so guilty I reprogrammed the robot to act like a real boy. Guilt started to go away. I did my homework and tried hard and got it right. Smarter and smarter I got the more people liked me. When I grew up I was the boss of a famous company. It was called Walt Disney.
