In the Wild Jungle

A monkey goes through the trees and a lion follows it.
A gorilla hangs on a branch.
An anaconda hisses at me. I was scared because the snake was getting near my feet.
A tiger roars in the bushes around me, as I listen to where he is.
Below another snake went through the dirt and leaves and moss. 
Above a panther frightens me by standing and staring at me.
Three elephants push down the trees.
As all of these animals came at me, I ran through the bushes and left the jungle to find safety.

Written by no-one in Room 6!

      Room 6 kicks it up a notch!

      A mysterious monkey climbs up the slimy trees while a lemony lion follows.  Then comes a grumbly gorilla climbing on a slithery, skildery branch.  I can hear an anxious anaconda hissing at me.  I hear a tigery tiger roar so loud that it almost makes my ears pop!

    Below I hear another spiny snake pushing its mighty way through the moss, the dirt and the leaves. Above I hear a panigar panther.  It frightens me to death by staring at me with evil eyes.  It was freaky.  Three ely elephants push their might down the slimy trees like Big Ben tick-tocking.  All of the animy animals came towards me.  I did not know what was going to happen.  I ran through the jungery jungle.  I sprinted and finally was out of the slimy, slithery, skildery, jungery jungle. 



A golden brown monkey swoops through the creeky jungle while the fierce lion scrambles after it.
A pitch black gorilla hangs lonely on a branch feeling sad.
A gruesome anaconda finishes off an alligator and hisses at me then slithers at full speed.
A tiger roars while it prowls around the jungle.
Below the trees a constrictor pushes the icky moss.
A big black pantha looks evilly at me as I freak out.
Three huge elephants push down the huge trees.
As all of these monstrous beasts charge at me I exit the horrible jungle.

As I pierce through some bushes a huge tiger creeps.
A snake slithers under thorny branches and brown leaves.
Above, a panther stares at me.  It scares me out of my head.
Humongous, chubby elephants charge at the huge trees.
I spin around and look at all the animals.  I scream and run to safety.





A monkey lurks low through the crispy old trees while a lonely lion lurks behind the fluffy monkey.
A huge black gorilla growls while hanging in the bright green tropical trees.
An anaconda swirls and hisses at me when I was walking through the old smelly jungle.  The anaconda shot out his venomy teeth at me.  I was frightened and petrified because the fearsome snake was slimy, scaly and about to eat me!  “Aaaaaaaaah!” I scream as I run away.
Deep in the jungle another snake went through the slimy, brown, bumpy dirt and the soft, furry leaves and moss.

Cont. by Greer

A black stripy tiger roars in the prickly bushes around me as I listen to where the stripy tiger would be.
Above a black and orange panther frightens the power out of me by standing and staring its big yellow, feisty eyes at me.
Three humongous, huge elephants push down the bumpy, sloppy, floppy and prickly trees.
As all of these feisty, wild animals came thumping towards me, I run as fast as I can through the prickly, spiky, green tropical bushes and left the spooky old, smelly jungle to find safety.

Cont. by Georgie

A long huge snake cheekily slithers through the yellow summer leaves as it rummages through the old, bumpy, soft moss.
The loud, bouncy, brave panther scares me out of my skeleton.
The mighty mammals push down the marvellous green trees with their elephant bodies.
All the mighty animals charge at me as I triumphantly fought my way to safety.  

  

A chocolate coloured monkey swings through the thick, thorny trees in a humble home of a habitat, while a large, likeable lion lunged behind.
A gigantic, googly-eyed gorilla swoops branch to branch and slips on a fruit-growing tropical branch.
An unbeatable anaconda hisssses at me.  I was petrified because the slithery, slimy snake was getting near my prickle covered feet.
A tremendous terrible tiger roarrrrrrrrrrs in the big, bloated, bulky bushy surrounding me, as I listen to the booming sound that echoes through the jungle.

Beneath another slithery, striped snake slides through the gooey dirt, the autumn leaves and the green grassy moss.
Above a brown panther frightens my eye-ba;;s straight out of my head by staring onto my frozen eyes.
Three immeasurable, over-sized elephants push down the banana-growing trees.
As all of these animals came thundering towards me, I ran to exit the spooky jungle to find safety. 



An amazing anaconda hisses really loudly at me while I freeze to death.
In the spooky, sticky, mossy leaves and dirt a snake "sssssssss" at me.
A hulk-mongous panther frightens me by standing straight and tall staring at me like a spy.
Three huge elephants stomp and push down the magnificent trees.

Written by Stanley and Joel



The jumping, jiggly, noisy monkey flies through the waving forest as the fuzzy lion pounces behind.
The banging gorilla bangs on the prickly, thorny, long, thick branches.
A slimy, bony anaconda hisses at me. As I worried the bony killer snake was getting near my feet.
A black and orange tiger roars in the thorny bushes as I listen to where he is.

Below a slithering, hissing snake went through the wet moss and the slippery dirt and leaves.
Up above a big panther harrasses me by sitting and eyeing me up and down.
Three fat elephants push down the big trees.
All the viscious animals came towards me I sprinted through the thorny bushes and left the wild jungle to find some safety!




A marvellous monkey swings from tree to tree while the leapy lion creeps below.
The huge, hairy, hungry gorilla swings upside down on the bouncy, bunchy branches.
An amazing anaconda hisses at me.  I was completely frightened because the sneaky, slimy snake was getting near my feet.
A tricky, striped tiger roars in the munchy bushes all around me as I listen to where he is going to capture me.

Deep below me a scaly snake weaves through the lime green leaves and dull dirt as it hisses at me.
High above me a pink, perfect panther scares the eyeballs out of my sockets by sitting so still and staring.
Three enormous elephants pull and push powerful gigantic trees to the ground.
All of these mighty, dangerous animals came charging toward me.  I ran as fast as I could.  I sped through the brown bushes and I left the scary, evil jungle to find my safety.

Cont. by Amber

Underneath on the grubby ground the spying snake slithers on the dull dirt and weaves through the mushy moss.
Above me on the bouncy tree branches a big mid-night panther panics me by staring at my wide eyes.
Three gigantic elephants stomped through the forest while pushing down the green-leaved trees.
As these mysterious animals charge towards me I run like cheetah through the prickly, thorned bushes, around the windy river to get out of this terrifying jungle to safety.




A marvellous, funky monkey swings wildly across the prickly vines, while a fearsome lion pads below.
A giggly gorilla hangs happily on a super thick branch.
A sharp-toothed anaconda hisses at me.  I was super scared because the horrible snake was moving closer to my feet.
A ferocious tiger roars very loudly in the bushes ahead.  I listen to where he was.

Below a diamond backed rattler slithers smoothly and slowly between the ditchy dirt, rough leaves and slimy moss.
Above a pitch black panther terrifies me by shining his big terrifying yellow eyes in mine, eye to eye.
Three thumping, pumping elephants trump on top of the thick rolly trees.
As all these thumping, panting, slithering and swinging animals charge I race for my life past the prickly bushes to find help.
     

More yet to come!

Writing samples - Term 2

How My Family Helps the Environment

We recycle at our house.  We recycle cardboard, tins and plastic.  We also have a food-scrap bin and then we compost it.  We have heaps and heaps of trees in our paddock and they turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. Sometimes we walk to school because cars let out greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.  Mum tells us to have showers instead of baths because it saves water and we use less power.  That's how we help.

Written by Riley Nelson



At home my family recycles cardboard, tins, tin lids, milk bottles, paper and glass so then they turn into something else, e.g. an old beer bottle can be turned into a new beer bottle.  We're also going to plant lots of trees.  They will produce oxygen.  We take the bus to school and Dad walks down the driveway and takes the Taradale High School van the rest of the way.  Mum tries not to use the car so much so then she's not producing too much greenhouse gas.  We have a worm farm and a compost.  We put food scraps in them. That is how my family helps the environment.

Written by Sophie Wood



We help by recycling our rubbish by having a paper bin, glass bin, tin bin and a plastic bin.  I help by turning off the lights and T.V. when we leave to go somewhere or when we're not using them.  Mum helps by using the dishwasher and washing machine only when it's full.  This saves water and power.  We all help by turning the tap off while we brush our teeth.  I hand my clothes down to my cousins and when a tree dies we plant a new one.  Trees are important because they give us oxygen and keep the air clean.  When we have drunk up all the water in our water bottle we reuse the bottle by filling it up again instead of putting it in the bin.  It's like recycling.  We don't bury or burn our rubbish because it makes greenhouse gases.

Written by Greer Tremain



At home my family recycles because dumping our rubbish all together could kill living nature.  We recycle tins, glass, cardboard boxes, glad-wrap and paper.  We should recycle because if we don't worms, fish, dolphins and all living creatures will die.  Recycling means all those things can be used again.  Another way we could help is we could bike, walk, take a bus or run when we don't really need to use the car.  We have lots of trees at home so when we use coal for our fires all the carbon will turn into oxygen.  That's how my family helps the environment. 

Written by Molly Lawson


My family doesn't really help the environment.  Me and Dad use the loader and the digger to rip out plants and burn them with not a tree around so we make G.H.G.  Soon we are getting a bulldozer and it will do a lot of work so it will make lots of G.H.G.  We own six trucks and they haul heavy loads.  We do about 60 loads a week and that's more G.H.G.  We use the ute to go across the road and my sister and I have long baths.
G.H.G. = Greenhouse Gases.

Written by Luke Loader 


At home we help the environment by checking all the lights are turned off when we go out.  We recycle and have a bin for plastic, glass, paper and cardboard.  We each have an important job.  Theo has to turn off all the lights and the T.V., I make sure all the bits we have to recycle are in the right bins, Mum takes it to the dump and Dad doesn't really do anything because he isn't here that much.  Mum says we need to plant more trees because they give us oxygen and keep the air clean.  When we brush our teeth we put some water on the brush and then we turn the tap off, put on the toothpaste and that is way you can save water.  With our food scraps we put them in the compost.  In our family I am the oldest child and because I am a girl and Theo is a boy, he won't want to wear my girly, pink clothes, so I give my clothes that don't fit me to Alex Hickey's little sister Nicole.  Another thing is if you want to recycle your clothes you should put them in a clothing bin.  If you are on a powered device and you are finished with it, don't just turn it off any old how, turn it off at the wall!  To save using gas, car-pool with neighbours, e.g. last year my two neighbours the White's and the Hansen's, we car-pooled together because Jamie, Theo and Mac all went to pre-school together.  So Mum, Sharron and Jen did it because it would not only save gas, but it wouldn't give out as much gases as three cars would.  So car-pool to help our environment!  Plant a tree, save power and water, car-pool and help save the environment!!!

A couple of recounts of a performer who came to our school.

Elgregoe the Amazing Magician

There was a boom at school.  Elgregoe appeared in a flame of dust.  He was an amazing magician.  He did magic with his wife Sue.  There was a colourful bird named Zazu.  He was my favourite bird in the show. Another bird called Ruby was very funny.  She hung upside down and swung from Elgregoe's hand.  My favourite part of the show... when Tom went up on stage and got to be New Zealand's Greatest Magician. Sue put a cloak on Tom.  Elgregoe put his arms into Tom's sleeves and started to do magic tricks for everyone.  At the end of the show he had water in a pot and he tipped it into a bucket and said, "the water won't stop pouring and we won't stop caring" - a tip of water is a call for help.  He had a puppet called Nico.  To make Nico talk he did a ventriloquist act and he was very funny.  Elgregoe came to stop bullying. His message for everyone was to use your WITS - Walk Away, Ignore, Talk to Someone and to Say Stop.

Written by Amber Morice





Vroom!  An incredible magician called Elgregoe arrived in his van.  He works for Trust Power by being a magician!
The day Elgregoe and his wife Sue came was on Tuesday, 27 May.  The first thing that he did was he pulled a pool stick out of his pocket!  My favourite bit of the show was the bucket sitting on the side of the stage that kept filling up with water after every trick.
Elgregoe was trying to give us a message.  The message was to stop bullying and help...respect, care, be responsible, accept peoples differences and be trustworthy.
I think I know how he did one of his tricks.  Let me tell you.  Sue held up one side of a sheet.  Elgregoe held the other.  There was a parrot flapping behind the sheet.  Elgregoe pulled the parrot out.  "Ta ta!" (not)
So that's how the afternoon ended.
