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.”

Bad Year

The war

It was a dark and misty night I was with my GORLOCK tribe, we are going on a scouting mission to try and find any survivors from the war .This war started 1000 years ago when the GAMIZIOD master that had attacked our tribe the survivors had ran away ,the lucky ones got into the fleet ships. I was the main general but most of us are dead .On our ships we have discovered cloning and on our main ship is ready to attack .Now we are ready.

Dear Diary
Today our tribe are going to attack we have 400
Battle ships we have no hope

Our ships have started to fail for some reason BOOM!!!!!!
The engines broke up before we entered the Earths atmosphere.
Now we are defenseless .I warned all ships to go all back to our secret base.
Number 241 pod did not get the warning before KA BOOM!!!!!!! .
This giant gold space ship appears out of nothing with a giant laser gun
And blasts him right out of the sky.

TO BE CONTINUED?
