What could it be

I was on a morning walk with Olivia my twin sister. “It is a nice fresh morning Olivia!” I shouted because she was down looking at the flowers smelling them. “What's up there?” Olivia shouted back, “lets go check it out!  

So there we were standing in front of this big tube tunnel thing with a red door, it had a gold knob exactly to the right of the door. This made me curious. It smelled weird I can’t really describe what it  smells like but this was only the outside, guess what it will smell inside?

I quickly and quietly snuck into the tunnel. When I finally got myself to look in I was amazed if what was in there. I was so amazed that I forgot about the smell. But then “poof’ the smell was back again.  So I went towards the smell, As I got closer the smell got and stronger and stronger then I stopped there was another door, but this time it was green with a stainless steel knob that was silver and it was in an oval kind of shape.

When I urged Olivia to open the door, together we looked inside. it was so smelly I nearly passed out, but I got use to it. The smell was a sweaty, it smelled like someone had been dancing a very long time. Then I turned to the middle of the room, it was remarkable sight, a disco was happening. I look around and something stuck out to me. The walls were a look bouncy, when I went over to them and touched them they were as bouncy as a bouncy castle. Then all of a sudden the room went pitch black. Next the lights were back on and  and we were on the bouncy walls but it was on the floor. I was very excited!

I started dancing to the music “ boom boom” the boom box was howling like a wolf even worse. People were staring at me like I was from a different planet. Whatever I didn’t care, but then I noticed Olivia was even staring at me. Now this was strange. My sister looking at me, something must be hugely wrong.

Next I was fast asleep, then I woke to a suddenly I woke to a huge fright. Knives were been thrown side to side of the room and they were bouncing off because of the bouncy castle walls. I did not know what to do.  I cannot believe Olivia was throwing knives too.

Then I saw this evil witch in the back corner of the room, this is a coincidence. She was quite stout. She had her back to me so I couldn’t see her face but I knew she was up to something. Then the smell of a spell rose up in the air. She was laughing “mahahahahaa” the witch cackled.  It was like she did it on purpose, just on me, she was picking on me. Next everyone was lining up to get the witch's spell that was in her pot. It smelt horrible. But still they drank it. It was like everyone was on a weird spell like they were under her command. But I still don’t understand why I am not one of those people. I need to save them before she has the whole world under control. “ Help save the planet,  Save the planet” that song from school was thumping in my head. But it was actually real this time. I had to save these people that were complete strangers to me, before this stupid witch rules the whole world but it me of course.

First of all I grasped my sister’s hand and pulled her out of the green door and was about to pull her out of the other door but then I thought we might not be able to come back in so I didn’t. I waited for her to calm down then once she had some  fresh air we both went back into the room she was normal. Now I need to get all the other people out of the door. If that is possibly?
Now all the people are walking like zombies this was very bad. There is no way I am going to get them out the door.  But then Olivia tells me this brilliant idea, “ Go and get some  hot food from somewhere and come back in the door then they might follow the smell” Great idea I shouted back.

So there I was running to the nearest to the town as quick as a flash I was at a town I didn’t know what it was called but all I could smell was hot chips Mmmmmmmmmm! I say and was on my way to get some. So I was running back, when I got there there was only seven left, I thought where are they all gone. That will be heaps I muttered. As soon as I got back in the tube there was people walking towards me like zombies with the smell of the chips and coming out of of the door with me.

Now I was running home with Olivia and we never saw the tube again.

My Cool room

My cool room

As I wake up I see the sun trying to peek through the curtains. To my left I see my clock flashing and beeping. To my right I see my mirror and my door reflecting off it, my Dad walking down the hallway just about going into my room, to wake me up. Then I see my bed comfy and messy and it  looks like an elephant has trumped or belly flopped on it. on it. Up on the ceiling I see plain white, I need Dad to put something colorful  on it.  Also I have a wardrobe peeking open with clothes hanging and I see  boring board games. Then I see the floor gray and dull as usual. But soft and bouncy. Oh I almost forgot my shelves. My beautiful shelves. With my radio booming and pounding out music. My special things on the top shelve and on the last two shelves is just stuff I want to keep.  And thats my room!

The great white man eating shark

Here is my writing for the ending of The great white man eating shark. The story was written by Margaret Mahy
  “Everyone gets in my way!” Norvin exclaimed. So he came up with  an marvelous idea. A Plastic shark  dorsal fin.  


The next day he got his shark fin on. Then he resentfully sneaked into the water.  Next  he was shooting through the water like a silver arrow.



Mrs Scorpio was bobbing up and down in the water when she saw the Great White Man Eating Shark.

She screamed “Shark Shark!” with great terror. She ran to the beach. Everyone else followed.

“Great now I have the Carmel Core beach to myself. MAHAHA!” Norvin laughed cheekily. Next thing he was getting arrested by the police. Norvin tried to talk but DZZZDZZDZ Tazza. It was only a joke he announced  to the Police.
“Okay, if that is what you say?” grunted the Police officer.  Well it wasn’t really because people got in my way and I wanted to swim through the water like a silver arrow Norvin added. Come on let me out of here I need to do my swimming! I want to be on schedule you know! And that was the end of Norvin!

Bolt the fastest man in the world

Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world, in the 100m’s . Smashing his world record 9.58s by five hundredths of a second. Bolts new time is 9.63s. With the next person (Yohan Blake) coming in second having a time of 9.75 getting sliver, and the third person to cross the line was Justin Gatlin having a time of 9.79 getting bronze.  Bolt had a very funny victory celebration, by having a full lap of the Olympic field, different dance moves, mock DJ’ing forward rolls and saying hello to every Jamaican in the crowd.

The 2012 Olympic opening Ceremony



 I got the photo from Kiwi Kids News


Photo from Opening Ceremony video
The time has come, the Olympic Ceremony. 200 times in the practicing. The Olympic Opening Ceremony has been and gone. With the funny scenes, Mr Bean playing the keyboard, the Queen and James Bond parachuting out of a helicopter, yes a helicopter. Would you do that if you were the Queen?

The fireworks were amazing. They were incredible, going round the stadium. “woosh

wiish”  when they went round. Then the queen  went “ickem” she cleared her throat. “ I declare the Olympic games are now open.” The crowd started cheering, while the Queen stood at her throne. Then she went on speaking, “when the flame goes out the Olympic games will be over. Good luck!” Next she was waving to the crowd. The stadium was full of madness. Everywhere you look the crowd was up on their feet cheering.
