Thunder

Lightning

06/09/12

The storm was gloomy, very damp and wet. The wind, lightning, thunder, and rain were creating a deafening amount of noise and trouble for animals and people to deal with. Suddenly, dark clouds started covering the dull sky making it pitch black.

Fantastic Two

6/09/12

One stormy night lightning sparkled  in the dark sky. The lightning shone as bright as the sun.

That day the sky wasdusky andthe clouds were gloomy. The sound effects became frightening. The wind was getting louder, it was a horrible place. The moon was bright but the clouds started to block out the eerie moonlight.

ELLIE

6/09/12

The puddles were rising higher and higher.

As the the rain poured down it started to flood the dull town.

The clouds were getting darker and the wind was getting louder, it was a horrible place to be.

The moon was very bright but the clouds made it dark.

It was so gloomy that you could not see. Suddenly a gigantic cloud rushed over you and it poured with rain.

Wacky Wednesday

(On my way to school)

 as I was heading out the door, I saw a sleeping tiger on the floor. a tiger laying on floor ,red polka dots and more. Next I found a turtle in a tree, laying on top of a nest of eggs. Don’t you think that’s a bit weird?

Okay, now just about to walk into the school door, until I saw ten dogs flying in midair. a cow with no feet.  I lost it and I ran home

By Star

Wacky Wednesday

As I walked out of the door I saw chicken’s flying in the red sky and cars driving backwards to work. I walked along and saw more wacky things like 12 babies in a little pram and kids cartwheeling to school. I also missed the bus because it was going backwards.

After a long time walking to school I saw birds laying eggs on cars and worms chasing cats and the sun was green. All of a sudden I bumped into something invisible.

 I walked all the way to school I wonder what is going to happen next.

 WACKY WEDNESDAY

When I walked out the door, I saw my little brother, he was a troll on his tricycle. My dad was late for work and drove backwards. At least my older sister was normal, I thought, NO she’s not, she’s doing the dishes!!!Wow, I could get used to that, no stay on track, stay on track!!!

Then I heard up down, bing bong. I looked up it was a flying pig, okay that’s weird now.

 I walked to school, where is my mum I thought, never mind. I looked to my left and saw Mrs. One baby with 100 babies in one pram. Then I looked to my right and Mr. flower water, was not watering his flowers but telling his wife to water them.

 Then I got to school and I said there’s my mum, she’s my teacher!

By Laura

Wacky Wednesday

As I walked out the door, I saw some more. There were three crocodiles, straight outside my door. As I walked past my neighbour’s house, there were no windows or doors at all. But there were more unusual things as kept walking.

There was a rat chasing a cat, a man in a pram, a yellow building, a girl with no neck, a dog with no tail and there was even more. I screamed and I yelled more and more, then suddenly I saw a car driving backwards, a bike with no wheels and a bird walking upside down.

As soon as I got to school, the school was pink and blue and that wasn’t so cool.

By Tapaswi

Wacky Wednesday Writing

When I arrived at school something was wrong, could it have been that shoe? What shoe you ask, that one on the tree, what other ones are there to see?  Wait, why is Jordan teaching the class and Mrs Stevens writing a report? Hey people are sitting on desks and leaning on chairs, this is one weird day that I know for sure. Now, people read in their writing books and write in their Maths books. Getting in trouble for missing lines, I know that sounds wrong but it happened to me today. Yes it’s as I feared, today is a wacky Wednesday.

The bell rings twice and everybody rushes outside. In my lunchbox I find a banana peel, an apple core, a muffin wrapper and an empty chip packet. The bell rings once we rush to get changed then the hand bell rings and our buddy class come to look after us, they teach us how to read and write. Off we go to sport, we sit there shouting at the adults to forward skip, backwards skip and skip side to side.

Finally the day ends with a “good morning Mr. Jordan, see you yesterday and a thank you for being a good pupil”.

Wow today has been quite a wacky day and it ends when I exit through the main entrance.

Report Writing Term Two

Haast Eagle

The Haast eagle was once the most feared predator in the land.  It had claws like tigers that it used to catch prey. It was the size of a hang glider.

It would sit in a tree, when it saw its prey; it would swoop down at 80 km per hour, crush the skull or hang on and fight it.

It lived in the south island only and was discovered in a swamp deposit by Sir Julius von Haast in 1870s.

Some Maori stories spoke of them carrying away their children and scientists found out that it was true.

The population was small, about 1000 breeding pairs. It was depicted in Maori rock paintings.

The Haast eagle was a giant bird at the top of the food chain.

BY Jack

The Haast Eagle

The Haast’s eagle was a very amazing (and a very scary) native New Zealand bird. It was the size of a hang glider and was the world’s biggest eagle.

The eagle had large tiger like talons which it used to hunt humongous creatures such as the N.Z native,200’g Giant Moa. Many of the New Zealand birds are camouflaged and nocturnal because they didn’t want to be the Haast Eagles’s main course.

He would swoop on his prey at 80km’s per hour, crush its skull and eat its dinner. Maori tales speak about innocent children being taken away by the legendary eagle. Well guess what? Scientists have proven this to be true!

The eagle only lived in the South Island of New Zealand.

Apparently it became extinct in the 1400’s however some people saw a large eagle in the 1900’s.

The eagle got his name from the explorer who found him; Sir Julius Von Haast. To see a real-life model of the eagle go to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa in Wellington.

The population wasn’t very big, around 1,000 breeding pairs.

It is so sad that this remarkable creature had to be taken away by the spirit of death.

By Hunter
