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.

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.

A Beautiful Princess Called Snow White by Arabella
Once upon a time… a beautiful princess called Snow White was born. She lived in a castle. She grew up as a beautiful princess. She had a talent, it was kindness. She lived with a evil witch that wanted to kill her. The princess heard them talking about killing her. She got a shock like a bow and arrow hit you and it hurts! She ran back down the stairs. She packed her bags and ran to the forest, she got scared like a wolf was chasing her. She was so scared she got hit it in the head by a rock. The queen found her, she carried her back to the castle. When the servants saw her they took Snow White to her room. She got better. One day she got kicked out! She found a house there was no one in it. She did some spring cleaning. She heard a knock at the door, it was some little people. They said that it was their house. They got mad but they got along in the end. The end.
A little boy called Jack by Taikaha Manuel
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. They all lived happily ever after.
Cool story. I like that it’s true about space expanding.
