Spud

In the holidays there was a bird on the road.  It was a girl.  The colour is green.  We called it Spud.  She is dead.  We were watching a movie when Spud got dead.  We buried Spud.  I was sad that Spud died.  I will always remember you, Spud.

She was alive when we got her.  We got a cage from my Mum’s friend.  He said we could borrow a cage from his home.  She is cute.  I want to have her for my whole entire life.  We took some photos of Spud so that we can remember her and we are making a headstone.  We made it out of paper.  She is buried under a tree.  My brother buried her up.  She was sick.  But she isn’t sick now.  She is dead now.  She couldn’t fly.  She didn’t have any babies.  We loved Spud when she was alive.  I love making big stories! Bye, bye.

Mini Golf At Night

In the holidays I went to stay at my Grandma and Grandad’s house for the whole holidays without Mum and Dad.  We had Easter.  We got loads of Easter Eggs.  First we had tea.  Next we went to mini-golf at night.  It was so dark when we got there.  We got our ball and bat.  After that we did it.   It was so fun. There were eighteen golf courses. I got a can of Coke. My Grandma and Grandad got Fanta. Then we went home and watched a movie called Reef 2 – High Tide.  We got to stay up a long time.  While we watched the movie we had jellybeans. Next we went to bed.   The next morning we had pancakes for breakfast.  Next we…. went to the gardens.  At the gardens we feed the ducks.  The ducks splashed me.  After that we went inside the café to have an ice-cream.  We were so lucky because we had one in a cone.  But my brother had one on a stick.  He said his one was the awesomist ice block because his is colourful. And it is an ice block.  Next we went out of the café and we went home.  We had a snack.  Soon it will be lunch time said Grandad.  Now it is lunchtime.  For lunch we had Subway.  Subway is where you get a wrap and you say what you want in your wrap.  My wrap was so yummy in my tummy.  After we had lunch we watched a movie called Monsters vs. Aliens.  It was a cool movie to watch.  My Grandma and Grandma have Sky, so we don’t have to put a movie disk in.  My brother was so excited because he loves Burgers and we had them for tea.

Gingerbread Man Retell

The Gingerbread Man

(Retold By Room 9)

(This is a story the children created 
during a "Shared Writing" session)

Once upon a time there was a little old man and a little old woman.  They were so hungry they decided to make a gingerbread man. 

They put in lots of ingredients to make the gingerbread.  They mixed and they stirred.  They rolled the dough out and cut out a shape of a giant gingerbread man. 

They decorated him with 2 raisins for the eyes, a cherry for the nose and orange rind for the smiley mouth. 

Next they put it into the oven to cook.  When the Gingerbread man was cooked the oven buzzer rang.  The old woman opened the door and the gingerbread man jumped out and ran out the door. 

The old woman and man said, ”Stop, stop, we are hungry.” The Gingerbread man said, “run, run as fast as you can.  You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread man!” 

The Gingerbread Man kept running and the old woman and old man followed close behind. 

He ran past a fluffy white hamster and a beautiful rainbow unicorn.  ”Stop, stop, we are hungry,” they said.

The Gingerbread man said, “run, run as fast as you can.  You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread man!” 

The Gingerbread Man kept running with the old man, the old woman, the unicorn and hamster running close behind.

Next he ran past an electric ghost and Hulk. “Ooooooooooo…..Hulk Smash…

Stop, stop, we are hungry,” they said.

The Gingerbread man said, “run, run as fast as you can.  You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread man!” 

The Gingerbread Man kept running with the old man, old woman, the unicorn, hamster, Hulk and the ghost running close behind.

Finally the Gingerbread Man came to a ginormous fast river. He was wondering how he would cross to get away from his followers.

He came across an evil eel.  “Do you want some help?” he asked in an evil voice. “Yes please, if you could just get me across this fast river I would be very thankful.” said the Gingerbread Man.

“Quick, jump on to my tail and I will get you safely across, “ said the eel.  The Gingerbread man said “thanks” and jumped quickly onto the eel’s great tail. 

They swam across part of the river and the Gingerbread man said, “ Help, help, my toes are getting wet”.  “Oh dear” said the eel.  “Just climb up onto my head and you will be safe there”.

“Thanks very much,” said the Gingerbread Man. 

The eel swam further across the fast river. “ Help, help my feet are getting wet” said the Gingerbread man.” Climb up on to my nose,” said the eel.

The Gingerbread Man said, “okay, thank you”.

As the Gingerbread Man climbed up on to the tip of the eel’s nose the evil eel flipped over as quick-as-lightening and gobbled him up and licked his lips. 

“No, thank you….” said the evil eel, as he swam off down the river with a full tummy.
