My Brother Disappearing by a Witch

In room 13 we are pretending to make our big brother, sister or who else disappear. Why you ask? Well we are doing this because, we read a book about the witches. Our teacher Miss King asked if we could write a fake story of how a witch can make a member, in your family disappear.

Creeping towards my big brothers room, I heard something. I quickly jumped out of bed. Walking up to my door, my body had been hid behind the door. I peeked through the little hole. “ It’s a witch”.... I gasped. “ What is she doing. Is she taking my big brother away... Cause if she is, I am glad”. I whispered.

The witch took him away... I followed. It was silent all around. “ Turn this boy into a chicken”. I heard the witch say. “ OH NO”.... I exclaimed. She has turned my big brother into a chicken. My mouth laughed a bit. It was a bit mean. It was the next morning. “ Mary we are having roasted chicken tonight”. My mum said. My big brother was in our freezer because, that creepy witch had turned my brother into a chicken.

Finally it was night time..... My mother took the chicken out of the freezer and then put him into the oven. “ I can’t believe we are going to eat my brother”... I exclaimed in my head. Dinner was ready. I took his leg first....... My dad was eating the leg as well. He said, “ This chicken tastes like Lynx spray. He spat it out. “ Plah, Plah”. With extra spit.... “ What is in this thing”. I laughed.

That was the end of my Brother. Will he be the last one to disappear in my family??????

Tommy Kapai Wilson

Did you know that if you make 10 people smile a day, then you will have a happy life. Tommy Kapai Wilson, came to our school to tell us special things. Tommy is a real famous guy. Cool.

Tommy taught us 5 LESSONS, and they are......
1. Make 10 people smile a day
2. War and Violence are Dumb
3. Learn how to Forgive
4. Everybody is born with a Gift
5. SMILE
There you have it, all the LESSONS Tommy Kapai Wilson taught Pt England.

Did you know that Tommy Wilson has worked for famous people, like the Crown Prince. COOL....  While Tommy was working for the Prince they all had to call him, “ Yes your Royalness”. But after two weeks guess what Tommy got to call the Prince? Bro. Two weeks later Tommy could call him mate.

The Crown Prince bought Tommy a Ferrari..... MEAN... I thought he was lucky. To me I think that Tommy Kapai Wilson has had a life journey. He is so clever. Tommy got that Ferrari from the Crown Prince, because he made him smile everyday.

Rich people have got everything, but in life they got nothing. Love and happiness is all that is important. Tommy Kapai Wilson is a Childrens book Author. Tommy Wilson is fun and cool.

Re- Crafting Aldora's Writing

Today we practiced re-crafting a piece of writing. The first paragraph belongs to Aldora, and the second is mine.

Aldora’s Writing

“yeah” I said happily to myself. I was nearly there. I sprinted to the finish line and  made myself happy. I had a drink and then I had a rest. Looking down at my pretty purple and black shoes, it was all muddy and yucky.

Mary’s Writing
“Yay”, I sang proudly to myself. I was so ecstatic that I had crossed the finish line. As I walked passed the drinking fountain, I had a drink then sat down. Looking at my shoes, they were covered with thick mud. We all felt exhausted. Aldora’s Cross Country Recount

A Movie about the Olympics

Here is a little Movie I made. Hope you Enjoy.

Liu Xiang

Before the race, I knew that I had to win for my country China. I thought in my head, “ If I don’t win this race my country will be disappointed”. “ Take your marks,  GO”!!!!! The athletes went off. My goal was to win a gold medal, and make it to the end, at least.

As I crashed out, I held onto my back leg. I absolutely felt embarrassed and disappointed. It was nerve racking. My achilles tendon hurt badly.
After the race I was so angry that I had lost. I wanted to leave. Hopping out of the stadium, I turned to come back in, because I knew I should finish. Hopping down the track, I was near the end. My two friends came and helped me the rest of the way.

The Real Cross Country

Walking down to the Reserve, I felt like I couldn’t do it. But I had to. We all hate Cross Country, but the Teachers love it, when we do it. Getting nervous, I lined up with all the other competitors. Go!!!!! Mr Burt exclaimed. I jogged at the start. Finally people were passing me. “ No”. I was coming first but then , one of the 9 year olds passed me.

Running through the bushes, it looked scary. There were muddy patches all around, and did I make myself muddy. My feet were aching. I could not feel my legs or arms. Cross Country is totally boring. Teachers these days.

I was nearly at the end. I could hear people cheering. Running around the corner, I almost slipped. There were Teachers telling us to turn left, turn right. It was so frustrating. “ Yay”, I made it. Finally it was finished. I came 9th.

Cross Country is harder than you think....... It was all with Perseverance.

Thank You Panasonic

Every year Panasonic runs a competition. During assembly a man named Paul came into our school hall, and talked to us. He came to our school to announce the winners. Guess what? Room 13 won the storyboard.

So Paul and Panasonic gave us the camera so we can film the storyboard we made. He also gave us a microphone and a memory card. Room 13 wants to say thank you Panasonic and Paul for giving us the camera and that!!!!!!!

Cross Country Training

As Room 13 walked towards the courts, I asked “What is going on”? Miss King exclaimed  “ We are doing Cross Country”. “ I don’t feel like doing cross country”, I said to myself.

Sitting down. Mr Marks said “Year 5 Girls”. Finally it was our turn. Getting ready to go, my heart was pounding. “GO”!!!!!!!! Mr Marks yelled.  


Running through the breeze, my heart was pounding 2 times worse than before. I said to my friend “ I feel really tired”. “But we haven’t even ran a lap”. Keis exclaimed. “ I know but”........ I gasped.


Running past Mr Sommerville, I stopped. He said “ Keep on running you can do it, don’t stop”. While running, I was struggling to breathe. “ Why oh why, do we have to do Cross Country? Teachers these days!”. I shouted.


Finally we are finished. I feel like I had done more than just a lap. I hope next time it rains, because running is TIRING!!!!!! My goal for Cross Country is to make the whole way and do my very best.

The Olympics

Olympism is a life philosophy that encourages Sport, Culture, and Education. There are 3 original values, Excellence, Friendship, and Respect.

Excellence: Excellence is not about winning. It’s about Participating, Striving, and achieving for your goals, and your personal best. The Olympics is giving one’s best and running on the field.

At the center of the Olympic movement are people. The Olympics encourage athletes to become friends. With team spirit Men and Women, can reach their goals.

Respect: This value inspires people to take part in, team spirit, and have fun. The rules in the Olympic games are to respect oneself, one’s body, and one another. In the Olympics you have to have a great attitude and fair-play.
