Prospective Student


Climbing a steep mountain a boy was determined to reach his dream school. Gripping tenuously on the rock face a slippe of his hand left him dangling, fearing for his life. He reached the top, tiredly looking up he saw the school, pulling himself towards the building he knocked upon the door and waited.

Nervously looking up at sensei he bowed not knowing what to do. Sensei pointing away the boy had a sad look upon his face. The door slammed and the boy was left wondering what now. He sat and meditated over night and when he opened his eyes waiting there was sensei, his hand was pointing away again.

Standing up turning away nearly giving up he took a breath and had a determined look in his eyes. He clenched his fist, turned to the door and kicked it open. Confidently looking into senseis eyes he showed him a few karate moves. Sensei had a angry look upon his face and moving his hand he pointed to a sign.

“Please use side entrance” with an embarrassed look on his face. He realized why he was pointing to the side.

Trouble Seekers


On a street so empty and so run down was a blue, 4 story building. Back in the days it was a toy factory, when the toy factory first came out, it brought happiness to the townspeople. But then one day it went DARK. The next day almost all the windows were shattered and all the entrances were blocked. After that day the townspeople didn’t talk to each other they kept to themselves and from that day things began to happen.

Emma, Johnson, Kelly and Adam went way back, they had known each other ever since their childhood. People that knew them called them the “Trouble Seekers!” because they searched for and tried to solve mysteries. Recently Emma got a puppy for her birthday, they all loved the puppy and they called him  “Seeker” they trained him to find secret hiding spots that weren't as easy to find.

They all went for a walk, when suddenly seeker ran off. With a wail and howl he ran to the toy factory. He scratched on the rubbish bin like there was something hidden. Johnson and Adam moved the rubbish bin out of the way.  Hidden behind was a staircase going down, old and rusty covered in spider webs they made their way down. Cautiously making their way down Seeker rushed to the bottom “Woof Woof” He started barking.

“Seeker” called Kelly. They were at the bottom of the staircase staring at the top. The sound of a creaking suddenly appeared and then it all went dark, the rubbish bin had moved and covered the entrance.”What’s happening, What’s going on?” said Emma.
What’s going to happen next? I guess you’ll have to find out later.

Our Sandwich


Pt England School Investigates, that is the topic for this term. In team 5 our main focus is “My Healthy Kitchen Rules.” So far we’ve learnt about obesity and how bad food can affect your health and how it can block your arteries, which also lead to death.

We had to get into a groups for our next task. In my group was Ashleigh, Vivienne, Shoal, Tauwhare and me, our task was to make a healthy sandwich. We planned, talked and gathered information about what we wanted in our sandwich.

Sausages, Lettuce, Mayo, Cheese and brown bread, doesn’t that sound nice? Our feedback was great.  The main thing people didn’t like was lettuce and the most favored thing was the taste and flavors. We asked them if it was healthy and they replied yes.

Overall they enjoyed our sandwich and liked that is was healthy. At the end of the term a group from each class is going to go head to head with other class groups for a cook off. I think we have a good chance of being that group for the cook off.
