Tunnel

Lily was walking in the forest around 6:00 pm.  It was getting late and dark very quickly.

6 hours went by and Lily could not see anything.  Until she came across a big round tunnel. She glared inside and saw nothing but pitch black. She says a “Hello?”  and it echoes down the tunnel. She walks in and there is a tiny point of moon light that shows a body of some sort.  She gets a little closer and It jumps up and gets pulled back. She carries on down the tunnel and finds dead bodies along the way.  She come to a room with 4 tunnels. She chooses one and walks down it. She soon finds that there is a monster waiting for her and it saw her.  She tried to run but she couldn’t run fast enough. The monster caught up and starting feasting on her body while she was still alive.

Bully

You're so bad says Jacob to Jack. Jack is great at sports.  So great that is better than Jacob.
That is why Jacob puts Jack down all the time.  Everyday and P.E. class Jacob Bullies Jack.
Sometimes it's because Jack makes mistakes,  
But other times it is because Jack is so much better than Jacob.
Some of the comments that Jacob says to Jack are-

“You're bad”, “ Sit down! “,  “You can't play”. One day in P.E. class they were playing basketball.  

Jack had the ball and Jacob was defending them.
And all of a sudden Jack  bounces the ball off Jacob's head and shoots it.
Jacob are standing beside him with his first flying right at him.

Captured.

It all started with a lovely morning.  The birds were singing and the bells were ringing.  
But the bells were not happy bells of joy, they were bells of destruction.
Two men scrambled into Patricia's cabin and captured her and her baby boy billy.
It was a quick fight and kidnap for Patricia.  But not for the town.  
The towns fight lasted for hours on end.  But Patricia was already in a canoe.

25 miles out in the Indian ocean.  Suddenly water started gushing into the canoe.
 Within seconds the canoe had sank. And Patricia was left floating in the water all tied up
looking at her baby.  She breaks her arms free.  But her legs are not yet.  She clutches onto
Billy and lifts him onto a piece of boat floating on the top of the water.  She lifts herself onto
the boat piece and feeds her newborn one more time. When she gets back into the water,
the wood piece comes more back up to the surface of the water.

The two are left waiting in the ocean.  Drifting away in the current.  
With no one but themselves.  Hoping for help.

The WoodCarver

Grandpa was different to any other.  He had me like pinocchio. Like a old school puppet.
On strings.  Suddenly,  One day he cut the strings down when I was sleeping.  
He doesn’t know that I am alive. But I am. Just looking around.  
I have never Just stood up and started walking. Because when I was created I was on strings.
I have been on that same table for 40 years today.  I stood up and I…

fell over.  I tried again but I did the some thing.

The next day I heard Grandpa leave.  So I tried as hard as I could to walk.  It took hundreds of tries. But then I started to walk straight.  Brutally,  One of my wooden legs snapped.  I screamed in pain. The most excruciating pain I have ever felt. Effortlessly, I try.  But I can’t walk.  I’m to weak. My friend teddy was helping me all of a sudden.  This was amazing. I was on his back. We stayed and died together happily as best friends.

Get NZ Writing, Write your own story

We have done a project with poems.  We have sent them to a school in Auckland.  And we are expecting some poems back.  After we had all finished writing them and colouring the backs of them in.  Someone put them together.  They say "Write Your Own Story"  And we did a big class poem. We got our information for our class poem from a google form.  Our class filled it out on what our favourites were.  This poem was all about Otaki.  We got the words from a thesaurus.  And my personal item was a ship in a bottle.  And We got our words in another language from anagram booklet.

Wellington trip Review.

Gabez

On Thursday the 14th, the 7&8 department of Otaki College went to Wellington for a day.  We watched 3 performances.  My favourite one was the called Gabez.  This act had 2 Japanese mime artists.  They were amazing at miming and had everything on point.  Except for the venue.  it was a bit small.  I think If they had a bigger venue to act in,  It would have been 100% better.  The sound was good.  Not perfect.  But It was very good. 
The Music was on point, at all the right times.  The miming was on point the whole time.  They don't talk but they make noises.  But that is just apart of miming. They don't have to improve on anything miming wise.  But a bigger venue would be better.  In my opinion the quality was 95% good!

Troll


The other performance that there was,  was an act called Troll.  2 people were in the act.  But the guy
(Otto) was the main character.  It was a bit weird.   But I liked it.  The venue was great.  Everyone got a seat.  No one was standing.  The act was based in the 90's,  Around 1998.  The guy/kid names Otto was getting up at 4am and a troll made out of wires and stuff happened.  Anyway,  The sound was better than the others.  It was loud but not too loud.  The venue was in my opinion the best out of the 3.  I think they couldn't do any better because it was pretty good.  The graphics were bad but that's because it was "1998".  The quality of the whole act was over all in my opinion 90% great.  The troll represented The fears that the kid had.  But it represented him being alone and the troll is depression. That pressures people to take their own life.

Poems

Kitchen:

I can taste the food that heaps into my mouth.

I can smell the delicious foods in the room.

I can feel the warm sticky food in front of me.

I can hear the microwave as at vvvrroommms its way to heat up something.

I can see the beautiful kitchen.


Beach:

I can taste the salt of the salty ocean.

I can smell the salty water of the big blue ocean that calms me.

I can feel the warm crunchy sand on my feet.

I can hear the ginormous waves collapsing on one another.

I can see the blue calming water.


Bedroom:

I can taste the air that is breezing through the door.

I can smell my clean sheets on my bed.

I can see my drawers and my wardrobe when I lay on my comfy bed.

I can feel my comfy bed.

I can hear my music playing very loud.


Special Place to me:

I can taste the fresh water when I go under the water.

I can smell the fresh water as I jump in my boat.

I can see my teammates and the opposite team when I'm in the water.

I can feel the interior of the boat and my paddle.

I can hear the splashing of the fresh green water.
