I shrunk my kids!!
One sunny afternoon
I told my kids to play outside with Coco their dog.
“Ok dad,” said Arama. “Ok.” said Nadia. “Ok,’”
said James.
So they went
outside to play with their dog Coco. They played tag with Coco. They played
‘hide- and- go- seek’ with Coco; they played baseball with Coco. Then they said
to Coco, “We are going to play two more games with you Coco.”
Mum called
to Arama, Nadia and James to come in for lunch. “Come on in, we are having
roasted hot dogs.” “What?”said Arama, “Not real dogs, that's just what we call
it.”
As we finish
our lunch suddenly there’s a crash! Boom! Bang! And a Kaboom!
The kids
rush up the stairs like lightning bolts and said, “Dad! What are you doing?” But
dad couldn't hear them. So they tapped dad on the shoulder and said to dad, “What
are you doing? We heard a bang! Boom! Crash! And Kaboom! So what were you doing?
We thought you were dead.” “No silly children, I was just working on my new
project, it's called the ray gun mark two.”
The children
were astonished, then Arama pressed the button and shrunk the kids. Arama
excluded himself and the children were so scared that they jumped into the
garden. When Arama, Nadia and James were worn out Nadia cried. Arama said,
“Don't cry, its ok. Dad and mum will find us.”
Dad called
to mum. Mum ran like Usain Bolt. Dad was astonished, but he said, “Mum I shrunk
the kids!”
“What!?” mum
said, “You shrunk the kids!” “It’s not my fault,” said dad,” Arama was the one
who pressed the trigger.”
Mum said
nothing. Then mum decided to say, “We have to reverse the action, on the mark
to the ray gun.”
“What!” dad
said, “That will take 1 day to reverse the action, so the kids will have to survive
the day? They can do it, they've all been to camp before.”
The kids
were scared but James said to Arama and Nadia, “We will make a tent for the
night.”
The three kids
made it through the night and mum and dad finished reversing the switch on the
mark two ray gun. They couldn't find the kids in the garden, so they were just
going to give up when the kids where on the table and dad quickly shot the gun.
In a flash of light the kids were big again, but too big!! Arama was 2 metres
tall, Nadia was 3 metres tall and James was 1.9 metres tall. “Well we will just
have to leave them the size they are, said dad.” Yeah! said the kids, they were
happy.
The End.

Athlete in action
It's a final
of the woman's pole vault. The New Zealand pole vaulter is wearing bras and a
bikini. She's talking to herself and finally she runs up and plants the pole.
It bends and she's about to go over the bar.
She soars
over the bar! A lucky go. She was worried but she went over. She was screaming
for joy while she was falling to the mat.
She fell
onto the smooth pad. She was so happy, she was jumping for joy, then she
started crying when all the people were cheering for her. What a winner!

Athlete in action at the 2016 Olympic
Games.
It was the
final for the women's pole vault at the Olympic Games. Everybody's cheering and
clapping and I am very nervous. I have been working so hard to get into the
Olympics. So the judges tell me to go when I am ready. I started by doing a
fast run up.
Next I
planted the bendy pole into the ground and used my upper body strength to lift
me over the cross bar. I cleared the Bar and floated down towards the mats .I
landed on the mat and it was bouncy and springy.
After this I
could see that I made it over the bar, I was so proud that I was representing
my country at the Olympic Games. Finally the judges call me up and said,
"from the smallest country competing in this year’s games.." The
producer said, “…Liza McCartney!” I was so excited that I was the third best in
the whole world, at the pole vault.

Honey I shrunk kids
Lisa and
Jack were brother and sister. Their dad was a scientist, a famous scientist. He
had made the first flying car. You would always find him in the basement and
hear bangs and sizzling coming from the basement, because orders from his
clients were always coming for ice guns that could make icicles form at the
tip; a box that could turn into a beach; but the most popular was the flying
car.
Lisa and
Jack were in the basement with their dad watching him work. They loved it there
because their dad sometimes let them try out the new food he had made or take
them for joy rides out in the most recent flying car. But, today he asked if
they could leave for a moment. They were about to leave when something struck
them, and then the things around went bigger. Quickly they realized they were
growing smaller .......... "Dad!! "they screamed. He picked them up
and shouted to their mother, "Honey I shrunk the kids." Their mother
ran and said, "Can you fix this? " "I don't know I will try to
make a grow ray, but that will take two days, so I will start now. " said
Dad.
The next two
days were horrible as their mother had to give them crumbs to eat, which did
not taste that good. It was hard for their dad too, who barely had any sleep.
At last the ray was done. Their mother made them sit on the sofa so they would
be sitting down when they would grow bigger. Their dad pointed the gun at them
and then there was a loud bang!! Lisa and Jack were back to normal nice and
big. Lisa jumped up and so did Jack and they gave their parents a big hug.

The Cave of the Gorgons!!!
I am Perseus
I landed on the mountain near the 'cave of the Gorgons'. Only a few seconds later I heard snoring. Only
a few people had ever been there, but none of them came back.
In the cave it is grey, Black and brown and
really scary. From my hiding spot there were statues that looks like they have
seen something disgusting. There were cats, dogs, boys, girls, humans and
animals just standing there not moving because they are all stiff in rock.
In the cave
it is leaking and it is loud and it is very dark. What is that noise it sounds
like snoring it was Medusa! And they lived happily ever after.

LIZA McCARTNEY DOES POLE VAULT 2016
It is the
finals for the Women's Pole Vault. Liza McCartney is getting ready for her
final jump. She is getting changed into her New Zealand clothes. Her equipment
is her pole vault. Her pole is made of fiber-glass and carbon- fiber, so that
her pole can flex to get herself up and over the bar.
She has to
run as fast as lightning so she can push herself up. She runs fast and puts her
pole down into the special box. She lifts herself up and up, and over.
She lands on
a squishy mat and she looks up at the bar. The bar is still up on the stands.
She waits for the Australian lady to have her turn. She didn't make it so Liza
McCartney cried because she know that she had won a BRONZE MEDAL.

Why NZ Should Host The Next Olympic
Games
Why I think
New Zealand should host the next Olympic Games.
I think New
Zealand should host the next Olympic Games because not a lot of small countries
have hosted the Olympic Games and it could really be a nice opportunity to
finally host one.
I will give
you five reasons why New Zealand should host the next Olympic Games:
1: New
Zealand came second per capital in the medal count.
2: New
Zealand has never hosted an Olympic Games.
3: New
Zealand has a lot of sport stadiums.
4: New
Zealand is actually not too small to host the Olympic Games but the head of the
Olympic Committee says it is.
5: We hosted
a Rugby World Cup and we still have left over infrastructure.

Pole Vault
It is the
2016 Olympic Games in Rio. A New Zealand man named Paul is competing in the
pole vault. He has big arm muscles, big hands and skinny white shoes. He is wearing a black singlet with 'New
Zealand' printed on the front and a silver fern on it too. He looks nervous and scared waiting with his
pole ready to jump. It's now Paul's
turn, he runs really fast and jumps as high as he can. The grey pole is bendy and he flies over the
bar, he has done it! The bar stays in place and Paul is very happy. He hopes
it's enough to win a gold medal.

The Opening Ceremony at the Rio
Olympics
On the six
of August at the Rio Olympics stadium. I am the New Zealand flag bearer at the
opening ceremony.
As I was
waiting outside the stadium, I had butterflies in my stomach. Then I saw people
from different countries and they were lining up in their country
Then I heard
people they were cheering for their countries. The athletes were in different
colours, they were blue, black, red, green and last but not least yellow. The
crowd was going crazy. They were screaming loud and cheering.
Then I smelt
something delicious and it was popcorn. It smelt nice. I wanted some but I had
to march in the ceremony.
I felt proud
of myself and also felt awesome when I was marching in the Olympic stadium.

Today's Training-For Olympics.
Today I got
up at 5 am, the sun was just coming up.
I put on my active wear and set off to the shot put training area. When I got there it was as cold as ice. There
were already a group of girls practicing there 100 meter sprints. I didn't worry as I was there to train. I put on my hand covers and got to work. Firstly I worked on my arm technique and
then on my foot work. I really needed to
work on how strong I should push the ball.
Then I had a little break, to cool down as the day was warming up
quickly. It was all most 7 am and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. I got back into action, practicing my aim.
Once I was finished I went onto weight lifting. I did as much as I could, but
the day was getting hotter and hotter and I started to get hungry. I needed to
refuel my body. Some of the other
athletes started to arrive for their training, especially the swimmers. I really needed to concentrate on my own
training. I put myself to the real test,
putting all of my work into action 1..2..3.. I counted then push. Off went the
shot put, it was my best throw to date, a personal best. That was a good way to end my training. It
was off to the showers and for a yummy, fruity, carb- loaded smoothie.

Honey I shrunk the kids!
One sunny
nice morning I woke up feeling exited because I'm about to work on my new
project called ELECTROZORBTASTIC LASER JETBRAIN gun. I woke up and started to
work on my gun. The kids were having breakfast suddenly when they came to
look I was out of the room doing
something and they touched it.
When they
touched it, I came back in to see my kids smaller then ever before. I couldn't
really see them but I could hear them. I had 3 kids Sean, Jenna and Blake. Once
I saw them I didn't know what to do, so I just grabbed the gun and threw it in
the garbage because I didn't want that to happen again.
After that I
called my wife so she could help me figure out what to do. Once she was here I
was so relieved. She asked where the gun was. 'Its in the trash' I said. She
got it out then shot the gun at the kids. It made them finally normal size.
After that the project was ruined and I swore that I would never shrink the
kids again!

Kitty the Tiger
So is it a
wolf? No it's a cat but a bigger cat like a lion but with no mane.
Paragraph 1:
So it lives in a forest or jungle. Also it could be seen in the bush around New
Zealand, the areas it could be seen in mostly is around the north island but
could be seen in the south.
Paragraph 2:
It has two big eyes and the eye colour is mostly brown black. If you're lucky
enough then the colour would be blue. It is also big, wide, long and tall. The
ears are pointy and long and stand up. The legs are short but wide and the tail
is small just hanging over the bum. The skin colour is unusual, as it could be
any colour at all just the colour you want or the colour you find.
Paragraph 3:
It eats fruit berries so it eats blue, red and black berries. The fruit they
eat are bananas, oranges, apples and kiwi fruit but some are kind of hard to for
the tiger to find. So if they cannot find any of those it will just eat leaves
or grass.
Paragraph 4:
Do you know where the tiger was born and where it comes from? The tiger could
be born every minute but it really takes at less around 3 to 4 months. They could
have around 8 to 9 cubs but if the mum has not been eating then she could lose
at less two or three of her cubs. The areas the mums like to have their cubs
are in dry warm spaces and they like to have food ready for the birth. The
first ever tigers born were from a lion because the lion had eaten some
different than it normally does. At the
birth it had 3 tiger cubs and they treated them like their own until they
turned on them that is why they don't like each other from that day on. The
tigers come from all over the world but the place they were first born is where
they're from. They are from Africa and they got sent over to New Zealand now
there are not many left in Africa any more.
Paragraph 5:
All the tiger does is climb and jump like a normal animal and that is mostly
all.

Horse Riding
As I jump on
my horse with steel hoofs, I feel very nervous. I am very positive that I'm
going to win.
The crowd is
cheering me on. I can't wait to cross that finish line. I say to myself, "My
horse and I are very nervous". The horse boundaries open. "Ready,
steady, go!" the host yells.
I'm nearly
at the finish line, just need a bit more boost so I can sleigh the others in
front of me. Suddenly they all go behind of me. " Yes!". I see the
finish line now. I give my horse a big kick. I pass the finish line.
I go back to
the stadium to hear the results. "In first place is Breeze
Franklyn". I get called on to the
stage and I do a little speech about myself as the host gives me a gold medal
and a trophy.
I feel so

Honey I Shrunk The Kids!
It was one
fine spring morning. CRASHING and BANGING was coming from upstairs in the
Attic. The three kids David, Katy and Layla, went upstairs to find out what all
the racket was. "We should have known!" they said at the same time.
It was dad working on his science experiments AGAIN! "DAD!" they
shouted. He didn't seem to hear them. "DAD!" they yelled hoping this
time he would hear, but he still didn't hear. "DADDD!" they bellowed.
He turned around, "Oh hello kids, I didn't hear you come up," he
smiled. The kids laughed. Layla ran to dad she was only 4. " Daddy I made
you a picture", she said. It was a picture of her and Dad. "Awww, how
sweet," said Dad. Dad had been working on a project, it was a gun called
the 'ELECTROZORBTASTIC LASER JETBRAIN gun. Dad accidentally dropped the gun on
its Blast button.....
BLAST!! went
the gun! "OH, NO!" shouted Dad. He had accidentally BLASTED the kids
with GUN! THE KIDS HAD SHRUNK. "DAD WHAT HAVE U DONE" said the tiny
little voices from the ground. Layla ran off into the garden crying,
"NOOO," Dad, David and Katy all shouted "NOOO" altogether
too. Mum had heard the yelling from Dad and asked what was up. "Well. um,
I accidentally blasted the kids with my new gun and shrunk them" Dad
whispered "WHAT!" she yelled. Then she fainted.
Katy had
gone into the garden. "Layla!" screamed David. Katy ran into the
garden to find her little sister crying. "Whats wrong Layla?" said
Katy softly. "I hurt my leg, I think its broken" said Layla
"Come on David and I will carry you". So they picked her up Mum and
Dad came running into the garden. Dad spotted the kids and swooped the kids
into to his warm loving hands.
Dad walked
up to the Attic with Mum by his side. "NOW all I have to do is blast you
with ELECTROZORBTASTIC LASER JETBRAIN gun!" he said trembling with fear.
So he picked up the gun, "ONE" "TWO" "THREE". He
pressed the button and there was a flash of light and a bit of smoke. After the
smoke had cleared....... the kids were
back to there normal self. They ran to their parents hugging them with love.
Mum kissed them each on the head and they hugged for awhile. "Kids I'm
sorry its all my fault," Dad finally spoke. The kids and Mum gasped
"No!" they said in horror Dad laughed, they hugged again. This time
for much longer. "WE LOVE YOU," said the kids. "WE LOVE YOU
TOO." said Mum and Dad. So it was a happy ending for the family. Lets just
hope Dad doesn't need to use that gun again!
