Hatched

Hatched

-The crows had been gathering for some time, no doubt displeased by the girl’s actions.

She could feel the cold, wet slime dripping slowly from her fingertips, but it didn’t bother her. Her hands were still, steady, without fear: she had been eagerly awaiting this moment.

All she could think about was the creature in front of her, finally escaped from its cage. It had hatched. It was time…

To find a bush that was cosy and warm for the creature, as the time was ticking and the darkness was going deeper and deeper to sudden darkness, she was walking slowly and slowly as she got to the bush that she wanted and it had a flax door! She was normally supposed to be home at 5:00pm she didn’t have a time or anything to contact someone. She wanted to walk back but it was to dark, so she stayed at the bush with the egg don’t know what to do with it, she stayed there the night, as she shut her eye’s to go to sleep something happened to the egg……

 The egg was rocking and it started to glow, the girl opened her eyes, as she opened them a big what!?!?! She said, the colour was rainbow but it had green slime/goo. She wanted to keep it but she couldn’t because she had no food or anything for it. As she was looking for something to eat for herself, at her house her mum was worried, she was worried aswell what she was going to eat, she found a box……

Inside that box was a food and water storage with juice, macaroni, potato and gravy with sausages, water, some yummy ice cream and doughnuts! Anyway she ate some of that. It was yum ‘she said’ after she took the food inside the bush with her, there was blankets there a roof and mostly everything so if it rained she wouldn't get wet, there was a pair of clothing with pants, t-shirt and shoes plus socks. That's all she needed, for this moment, but she didn’t need all that stuff, she didn’t put them on

The girl was eating the food and she had too much food in the basket so she gave some to the creature but the creature didn’t eat it, the creature wasn’t going to eat it because the creature was sick but she didn’t know. As she packed everything up she, used the food bad as a pillow and used the napkins as a big blankets, she layed down with a scared thought in her head, what she was going to do with the creature.

The creature was making these weird noises as the girl was trying to sleep, it was like puking and sounds like crying but wasn’t, she couldn’t get to sleep. She was so tired to even look at the creature at this moment, she couldn’t fell her feet as she moved around, the moment when she shut her eye’s she felt like she had nothing to hold or nothing beside her to keep her warm when she was cold. The creature was rolling around in the egg, the girl heard cracks, and when she was lying down she just blocked her ears and shut her eyes again and fell asleep.

The next morning she woke up the egg was gone, she still had food  she ate the cold macaroni ‘yum’ she said, she had a drink of juice, and she got a jersey on to keep warm it was a bit chilly. She was scared because the egg was gone and she couldn’t find the egg. Her knees that had blood, the blood dried up. She was ready to go home, so she headed off home. Half way home she found parts of the egg broken she ran because she got really scared. She hit her house she ran inside and said ‘mum’ she ran to her mum, hugged her and said I got lost…..

A Child In World War One

World War One

In World War 1 it was 28 July 1914, My name is Susie Davey, This is my story. My dad is in the war probably fighting now, my mum sent me away to the war to see my dad. On the way I found guns and I grabbed one I saw some dead bodies laying around me while I was walking to my dad, I had blood on me it was disgusting, the gun was full ammo I shot a bullet and…..

Then people started to shoot at me but I ran behind a trench, then I moved a little and fell in the trench, I started to bleed but it wasn’t to bad. One of the war people said “are you alright” I said “yeah I’m fine”. After I got out of the trench I had been covered with dirt, it was getting dark and darker as I was walking it was really loud but then I thought and said to myself…..

I’ve always wanted a sister or a twin  it would be fun because I would have someone to play, sleep,cry and hug with, But I never had any of those. Now I have to find my dad I hope he’s ok. It was so loud I have found a little cabin I was like score for me and no one was is it but then I thought if someone blows this up i'm going to die, so I changed my mind and said “I'm sleeping like the army men do but i'm a army girl…. There was shadows and I was scared it was about 7:40 pm so I started to fall asleep.

I woke up at 12:30 at midnight I said to myself “I need to see my dad I haven't seen him for 2 years” I started to cry and keep crying, I really felt like I had a sister or twin. Then it had been 30 minutes passed by… another half an hour passed by, then I heard a weird noise in the sky and it was coming down really fast then it hit the ground and exploded I went flying far away from there I walked the opposite way to find who find crashed that plane, my ankle was really saw, as I limped while walking I was trying to run because it was getting to dusty, I tripped over and landed on my ankle again I cried and walked away from my pain. There was lots of gunshots and I nearly got shot but I dodged it. I keep walking and I found this little cook station.

I couldn't find my dad anywhere but then I thought I could go to flanders field just to see if my dad died…. 2 hours later, my dad didn't die I had picked a poppy I said “yes my dad is alive yay” he must be in the war somewhere. I ran to the war he must be somewhere I said. I was still running and I heard a gunshot I saw my dad and I saw this other kid running to my dad I was shocked that another kid was running to my dad I thought that my dad didn’t want me didn’t want to have me as a kid so I got ANGRY and I pushed the kid over and said “That’s my dad if you touch him I will yell at you” my dad said “you both look the same it's like your twins are yous?” we said we don't know each other or never seen each other so I said “what's your name?” She answered with “my name is Susan” and I said “my name is Susie” She said “wow cool name we nearly have the same names” I said “yeah….” So we didn’t know we had a twin sister it was pretty cool to have a twin sister so our dad had to go fight again but we got sent home on a plane and we don't have the same mum but Susan’s my offered if my mum wanted to have Susan my mum said “yes I will you may come and visit and any of that stuff ya know?” she said “yeah well anyway goodbye.”

Top team games

Top team games

Yesterday the 5th after the duffy lady it was around play time and we had to have a early lunch because we had the top team games. At the top team games there was 14 games, skis, team building, hoops, nz map, water games, memory game, memory maze.

The ski games was super hard because charlie was not moving at all so we all mostly didn't move. Charlie was biting his fingernails while we were trying to move and we yelled charlie but he didn't listen and he moved when we weren't moving that was hard.

Hoops were really fun because I got 5 and the others got 3 or the other number, it was fun that was my favourite because i'm a good thrower but Aimee got a three, three times. Myha was sortof good she got one there and no more she missed most of her turns.

The water game was the first one my group, very cold and not warm some were warm, but most freezing. I got a face full of freezing cold water. I loved going there and having lots of fun but my group had to do the cold one first, at least we dried up doing to the other games.

On wednesday the 5th, Diana Queenin came to our school, she brought her treasures that she had discovered over the years- she has gone to. She had lots to show us, there was fossils, geodes, horseshoe crabs.

The stingrays are the horseshoe crab they have a barb sticking out of there back to pre teched them if a predators are coming behind or infront. Orcas take the barbs out and spit them out and chop their prey up. The orcas take the barb out because if they don’t they will stab them. The horseshoe crab had ten eyes and shaped weird.

Fossils are when something not here anymore, that they have,like they have been there for more the 100 years and has grown into the rock, they look cool but it needs time to go into the rock. It looks like they have drawn into it.

Geodes are a rock that has been cut into two halves that have crystals that people have coloured purple to look cool and more expensive to the normal one. They look really rare but they are not some can be.

The lady brought snake skin the snake takes it skin off by a rock it's kinda gross I thought. Our teacher Miss Smith tried to not pull a face because she does not like snakes but she had to hold the snake skin, I wouldn't like it either.

Constable Jos talked for quite awhile on how to use the helmet and how to do the ‘m’ check and all sorts of other stuff.

It was play time at 10:30 so we went for play, after play time we got on the bikes and started the ‘m’ check on our bikes, the ‘m’ check is when you have to check all the nuts and bolts on your bike, see if you’re tyre is pumped and ready to go, we all had gear bikes

where you can change the gears.

Second we got on our bikes and constable terry came ‘yay’ they set up some obstacles course that we done like zig zag, straight then stops, turning, after we had a challenge we had to go slowest but we were on our bikes, we were moving it was just who ever was the best 4 or 5 had another challenge to who could be the best and it was…….. William the people who were in the top 4 to 5 was Fynely, Patrick, William, Jessica and Me, there was a boy one and a girl one but the best ones got to vs each other girls and boys, while we did that constable jos and constable terry we setting up another obstacle course that had ramps,ladders and cones.

After the obstacle course's it was around lunch time and after lunch we went on the road, we we learning hand signals, road rules,road rules for intersections, look over your right shoulder, 1 meter from the gutter/curb, how to do the ‘m’ check and how to put your helmet on correctly- like put your thumb on you chin before you clip it up- make sure it's comfortable and fits you good-perfect and if it's uncomfortable get the right one that fits you. After the one round of the road one we had another turn because we were all next to each other and we didn't use them good. I was pretty good at biking because i was on a better bike than my real one the other people were
