Scary Horror story

LI: To write a story with some speech,, smilies, and onomatopoeia

AHHH!! One cloudy scary night there was a curly haired girl called Hazel and these 2 boys named Tommy and Danny. At night time Hazel got a phone call she says "hello" all she hears is breathing. Poor girl  gets frightened and runs to the door and locks it click clack! After that there is another phone call she says "hello" very slowly and quietly because she is frightened from the first call. She is relieved,  it is just Dany. Dany tells her to come over and see something. Hazel gets into the car and dives to Dany's house. When he hears the ring at the door he sacks all his knifes Dannys knives were as sharp as a blade  . Hazel goes inside Dany tells her I am going to kill you, Hazel shouts " stuff you!" and runs upstairs. Dany shouts " I am going to find you and then I will kill you." Tommy goes to Dany's house. Tommy sees Dany trying to kill Hazel and he finds a cricket bat next to the kitchen door.  Tommy grabs it and hits Danny over the  head and he fell over with a thud! Hazel gets up and runs to Tommy and thanks him for saving her life. Finally when the night drew in, she was glad it was over.

Basketball lessons

 On Tuesday we had a basketball lesson with coach  Bruce.

He was cool and I liked his American accent. He taught us how to dribble and do the figure eight. After that Bruce put us into 4 groups. Every group got 1 basketball  we had to dribble the ball to the other side then dribble it to the other player. Then it got even harder because we had to do the figure 8 while walking or running. The teams who lost had to do 10 push ups. We had fun learning about basketball. The basketball was as bouncy as a kangaroo. While I was running I could feel the cold breeze blowing towards my face.      

I am looking forward to my lesson next week

The crowd goes wild

Wind blowing against his face while the crowd goes wild, he broke the world record. Hearing all his fans cheering and laughing and having so much fun, he was so proud of himself. When he finished the race his face was hardcore sweating. Usain’s heart was beating so fast  that  I  saw  his veins on his face. He was probably thinking, I finally broke the world record. The crowd started cheering louder. Usain was really proud of himself. His country would be really proud of Usain Bolt.

How the Kiwi lost it's wings, retold by Joan

Many years ago,Tanemahuta  was walking through a beautiful forest.He looked up at his gentle children reaching the blue sky and noticed that they were getting sick while all the bugs were sucking on their skin.Then Tanemahuta went to talk with his brother, Tanehokahoka called all of his children and his birds.Tanemahuta  started talking to his birds and his children.

Tanemahuta said that someone was  eating  his lovely children and he believed that it was the bugs. He requested the  birds to come down to the forest floor and  live on the forest floor  so that his children would live  and be saved and their land would  be saved.

Tanemahuta asked the Tui if he could come down and stay on the forest floor. The Tui refused to help because he did not like the darkness of the forest floor.  Then he asked the Pukeko and he said no, because he looked down and saw the cold damp forest floor and he did not like his feet getting wet.Then he went and asked Pipiwharauroa if he could save his children but he refused because he was too busy building a nest.Then Tanehokahoka turned to kiwi and asked if he could come down to the forest floor. The Kiwi  turned around and looked at his family and then once more he turned around  and told Tanehokahoka that he would come down and live on the forest floor.Their hearts were really happy.

Then Tanehokahoka cursed all the birds in the forest except for the Kiwi because he risked his life for them.Tanehokahoka said to kiwi that he would be the most known bird in the forest. The Kiwi had to lose its feathers and have strong legs so that it could survive on the forest floor.

Tanemahuta,s children finally had the Kiwi as their protector.
