    Packing Up by Keith Ainsley

    On Friday I went to my nan’s house to pack. We packed up DVDS and there were like a thousand. My head was going to explode because it took for ever. Then we had a break but not for long. After our break we did more packing and it made me fall to the ground. When I got up I had a bump. We had to pack the towels.

    Arabella’s fun holiday.

    On Saturday night my cousin came to my house. We had fun we played dress ups. We got to wear our dresses to dinner. Our Dads took a long time to get dinner. While we waited we watched TV and had a tea party. We also jumped on my Mum and then our Dads finally came home. For dinner we got fish and chips. When I put some sauce on the piece of paper it was spicy hot like a red pepper.

    Fun Games by Sean Todd

    Last week mum and I went around to a friends house for a meeting but there was a problem. We were like the only ones there so we just played games instead. I played frisbee, table tennis and that game where you have a stick and a white ball and you have to hit the little balls into the holes. I won table tennis and it made me feel happy.

    The Holidays 28.4.15 by Brea Peka

    In the holidays I went to the pools with my mum, my two sisters and my brother. It was cool when we went to the pools. We went to the college pools. I hopped in the big area and then my mum hopped in the big pool with my brother. Afterwards my brother and I went on the bouncy castle and we got pushed off the bouncy castle. We were going home so my brother and I did not go for a another swim.

    My Baby Brother’s Birthday by Lukas Chapman

    In the holidays it was my baby brothers b-day. Heaps of my baby brothers friends came over. I know some of their names – Logan,Bentley and someone else. For our food we had lollies, sausage rolls, pies, chips, juicy lollies, and sandwiches. The sandwiches were ham, cheese and mayo and the other ones where marmite and cheese. When I went to play with a toy a baby came over and said “whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” because he wanted to play with it, so I gave it to the baby and I got another toy and then the same baby came over and said “whaaaaaaaaaaa” because he wanted my toy again! That baby kept doing the same thing over and over so I didn’t play with a toy for an hour. At the end of that we had the cake and it was chocolate cake with chocolate icing on the top. Down the bottom there were crunchies smashed up and some little decorations which were two things with wheels on it. Guess what they were? They were a loader and tractor with a trailer on it. Then everyone went home.

    Poppies by Sapphire Heemi-Awheto

    Yesterday room seven went to Miss Colls’ class and we made poppies with room six. It was fun because room seven and six finger knitted but I did not know how to finger knit. No one taught me how to finger knit but we were running out of time anyway and we packed up for the day.

    At Nana’s House by Amber Romain

    I went to my nana’s house and I had a sleepover. I woke up at five o,clock. I hopped into the car and drove to the farm to see the cow get milked. There were more than 100. The cows went back into the paddock and the man was cleaning up when we got back. We had bacon and eggs. I had pasta for dinner we had sausages and pasta. It was delicious.

    Abi’s House by Lily McGreevy

    In the second week of the holidays I wanted to go to my friends, Abi, Caitlin and Timmy’s house. I was excited because I do not get to spend much time with them. They have a very very long driveway! When I got up to the gate Abi’s puppy dog came down the driveway and barked. They were looking after another puppy dog that was doing the same thing except she was running slower. Their puppy dog’s name is Alfie and he is a boy and the one that they were looking after is called Meir who is a girl. I was a little afraid for a little while but then mum reminded me that I wasn’t afraid of Alfie. Meir was a tinsy bit younger so she was a little bit calmer. So, I ran to my friend Abi and ran out of the gate to Abi’s house. Then we both walked up the two story building – her house. We went inside and they showed me around. Me, Abi, Caitlin and Timmy went into the playroom that I never knew was there because when I was there last, it was Timmy’s room. In there we all played loom bands but Timmy did not play very much. We went outside and Abi showed me some chrysalis and at the end of the show (Abi and Caitlin called it a show) they showed me two caterpillars and then Abi and I saw something squiggling in the dirt. It was black and yellow. Guess what it was!? It was another caterpillar. One was called Lily or it was spelt Lilly. I don’t know!? We had lots of fun.
    The End.

    Hunting in the Holidays by Johnston Coll

    In the holidays we went to poppas and we went hunting. We caught two pigs and one stag but it got back up and ran away. I got to carry the first pig and then we saw another one so uncle Kenny chased it up the hill but … he couldn’t catch. Bart (poppa’s dog) came and caught it. Then we shot another stag and this time it didn’t get up and run away.

For lunch we had chicken, potato salad, salad, water and white fizzy and then we left to go and open my presents but it turned dark. After that we got home and then we went to sleep.

    Two Tough Guys by Keith Ainsley

    Once upon a time Peter Pan and Mr Smeas had a humongous fight to see who was stronger. Peter Pan won the fight because Peter Pan cheated by flying on the roof. He ran out of pixy dust so he fell to the ground. As he fell they both donked heads. By the time Peter Pan got up he had a bump on his forehead. They both had sore heads. In the end Peter Pan and Mr Smeas died because they got tangled up by Captain Hook’s pointy hand. They didn’t live happily ever after!

    Bulldog and His Mum by Johnston Coll

    Once upon a time there was a little boy named Bulldog and his mum. They lived in a magical house far far away. The boy had super speed and ice, his mum had strength. One day Bulldog’s mum got locked in the super market and her strength couldn’t open it. Oh no! So they made a plan, the boy iced the door and then his mum kicked it open and they all lived happily ever after until… the big bad wolf came along with his army. Bulldog and his mum couldn’t stop them so they went to get help but… they couldn’t get help, so they stayed and fought. But they couldn’t take them, so they ran away. His mum wasn’t fast enough because she had strength and he had super speed, so Bulldog had to give his mum a piggyback ride. They ran to town but the army chased after them. When they got to town the army was taking over the town they couldn’t stop them. They went to get help and this time they got help. The whole entire town stopped the army taking over the town and the army ran away and the townsfolk lived happily ever after thanks to Bulldog and his mum.

    My Outer Space Adventure by Sienna Harris

    One day outer space grew smaller and smaller and smaller. “Oh no” said the crazy thing “oh no what?” said the monster. “If outer space grows smaller our friends grow small too.” That is terrible we better go and save them. They quickly saved all their friends just in time. Their friends were a cat, Shrek and a wolf. Suddenly, the space ship began to tremble. There was a big boom when the ship exploded. The rabbits were all right. All together they made up a song. The song is called ‘I am floating’. This is the song “floating, drifting through the stars in outer space here we are”. “Finally we’re here” they said, all together. “Ummmm where are we?” said Shrek. “We are at Colin’s motel and cafe” said the monster. “Why are we here?” said Shrek. “We are here to get some super glue to glue the rabbit ship together”. So they glued the ship together but … suddenly a magical thing happened! Outer space grew big again but it didn’t stop so everyday it grew a little bit bigger. They lived happily ever after. The end.

    Once upon a time there was a little boy called Jack. He lived in a little house with a family cow. Every day his Mum told him to milk the cow for breakfast. Once a little girl asked for some milk, then she wandered off into another house. She went to a bakery. She kept asking for bread and stuff and she ate them. Then Jack got magic beans and planted them. He climbed up the plant and found three big coins and a goose. Then a giant tried to catch him, but instead he cut the plant and he fell. The giant died. Another giant tried to destroy the town. So jack and a bakery man climbed on a tree and broke a branch off the tree. They tied a bag full of rocks and threw them at the giant.
