Derrickrolled over half awake-half asleep.Someone knocked on the door of theshabby house causing him to wakefully and get out of bed alreadydressed. "Sorry to bother you at thishour of the morning."

He called back intothe house. No answer. He walkedback into his hut and walked towardsher room. "Abigail!" He called again.Still no answer. He raced into herroom and looked around. She wasn’tthere. She was gone! As therealisation dawned on him, he startedto panic. One single word came to hismind. Pirates! The barbaric behaviour of all thepeople on the ship was enough tomake anyone scream. Yet they hadstolen a seven year old child and theywere training her to be like them. Sixmonths had passed and after somescuffles to get there they were now inthe Western Sahara's waters. No onehad come to rescue Abigail and shewas doubting that anyone ever would.She was standing in the crows nest ofthe Barbaric's ship when suddenlyshe saw another vessel. It was fromthe English army! Someone wascoming to save her!"Ship to port!" She shouted."It lookslike it has some great booty aboard!"The Barbaric's ship swung aroundand started sailing straight for theEnglish. One whole day passedbefore they came to the English ship.All the pirates got loaded up withguns and threw a rope to connect thetwo ships together. "Fire!" shoutedCallum the Captain and the English

Captain simultaneously. CaptainCallum then charged into battle likethe mad man he was. "Father!"Shouted Abigail suddenly spotting herDad, Derrick. "Derek!" She shoutedseeing her uncle. She ran towardsthem arms outstretched in a hug,when... Bang! Bang! They bothdropped to the ground, dead. She ranin front of the fire line, grief stricken,and the last thing she rememberedwas the pain of the bullet wound.

My costume was grey-silver,with dim red pants and a straw hat.Before the performance I was feelinggiddy and nervous. It was an excitingmusical, and my first one too! When Ifinally stepped on stage, mynervousness washed away. I tried notto smile, keep a straight face, andstay in character. I was so excited Ikept biting my tongue. I was alsonervous in the avalanche, worried thatI’d get the avalanche cloth twisted.The audience loved our showbecause of the hard work we all putinto the rehearsals.

Itwas so much fun, and my parentsenjoyed it very much.

After the tortoisewon, the rabbit ran as fast as he couldand said, “Hey I know you won therace two years ago but I want to havea rematch.”“Um. Okay,‘’ said the tortoise. Theyshook hands and left. It was just onemore day until the day before therematch race. The rabbit trained hard.He ran uphill, he jumped 50 feet high,he even did push-ups. The tortoise,well… he just relaxed at the beachuntil it was the day. Before the pigsaid, “go.” The rabbit felt confident andthe tortoise felt confident too. The pigsaid, ‘’On your marks get set oink!!!”And the rabbit was in the lead until thefirst obstacle course. He crawledunder a net. The rabbit was confusedwhen the tortoise was just smallenough to walk under. After the net,the tortoise was in the lead. Thesecond course was carrying blocks ontheir backs. The tortoise found thecourse easy but the rabbit found thecourse hard. The final course was a bithard for the tortoise.

them,” Renae explained that she wasstaying with Mum and Dad becausethere was a big scary cat calledCharlotte, in the woods. Jaime andNatasha didn’t listen to what Renaesaid. So they went and built their ownden, in the big forest but in a differentplace where it was big and wild. Jaimeand Natasha weren’t worried at all,they weren’t even scarred of the big,scary cat called Charlotte. AlthoughCharlotte thought herself terrifying,she wasn’t scary at all. Charlotte wasquite playful, very funny and also quitecute. One day, Natasha went andstarted building her den out of strongdirt. Jaime started building her denunder a big strong tree. The girls’ builtall day and night for 6 days. It took forever for them to finally finish theretiring job. They took a very long timeto finish their strange houses. One dayNatasha and Jaime went out lookingfor the big, strong, and terrifying catCharlotte. Charlotte went out to kicksome dens down and eat somedingoes. The two girls went screaminghome yelling, ”Big bad cat coming toeat us.” The two girls were afraid ofthe big bad cat, but Renea wasn’t.She kicked the cat and hurt her sobad she wouldn’t come back everagain. And they all lived happily everafter. a creature like this.

KEEPING HEALTHYBlake StokesWe have a schoolgarden and we growveggies which we eatwhen they are ripe.We also have a

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen and weare learning about the differed plantsand veggies and what is healthy toeat. Mum and Dad have now becomehealth freaks an we ate nothing buthealthy food at home. Gone are ournights of pigging out on Macca’s orKFC. We have lots of salads andveggies and we eat fish about threetimes a week. I must admit Mummakes our meals really nice and hasmade some different things. We haveall lost weight . After we have had

dinner we all go for a walk even whenit is cold. I wonder if I will ever eat myfavourite at Macca’ s again? Mybrother keeps saying he is over thehealth kick thing. He is really funnywhat he says but he has even madethe track team at school since loosingweight and he is enjoying the extrasport.

GUITARSam GriffithI am into music bigtime and I have beensaving to buy myselfa guitar. Mum andDad said if I was

serious about music and really wanteda guitar I would find a way to save mypocket money and buy a guitar. Theywould then pay for me to havelessons. I have cut lawns and washedcars and finally after checking out theguitar I wanted and talking to Markwho is now teaching me guitar, Imanaged to buy this fantastic redguitar. I am not finding it too hardlearning the cords and I like to practiceas often as possible. Mark can alsoplay piano and he writes music andsongs. One day when I am goodenough I am going to try and get onThe Voice. I like watching that showbecause it gives people a chance tobe seen and heard all aroundAustralia. I would like to make musicmy career. Mum and Dad keen tellingme that lots of people want the samething but only a few succeed. Theyhave also said they will support me aslong as I work hard at school and havea second career choice in mind.

THE ZOONoel PerkinsWe went to the Zoolast week and a ladytold us about thedifferent animals. Itwas a really good day

and I took a lot of photos. The Apesand Monkey’s were ace and I likedwatching the elephants. They knowhow to get extra food from people. Wetook our lunch and lay on the lawn asit was a sunny day.

'NNOOO!!!" I yelled thinking that Mumhad put the baby's dirty nappy in mylunch bag. I never knew what myMum would pack each day. Out ofcuriosity I stuck my tongue out totaste it, my eyes were squinting andmy nose was wrinkled but I tasted thebaby poo. It tasted bitter and sweet –it was Mustard just like I put on myHot Dogs at the Footy.

Written by 6W GirlsRattle, rattle went the newspaper asI placed my hand in the lunch bag.As my nose got close to the bag myeyes watered like there was a rawonion inside. My hand touchedsomething that felt rough on theoutside and slimy on the other side.I started to heave. My first thoughtwas I was touching snot. I ran for thebin. My fingers began to sting, thenI realised I had felt this feeling before.I licked my fingers.It was a lemon!

In class we learned about Imageryand the five senses. We useddifferent types of food and we had toclose our eyes to touch, smell, feeland taste. Then we had to write aboutwhat we smelt, felt, tasted andtouched. Some people were veryclever and used similes.It was fun and different. We thenworked in small groups to write thefollowing descriptions.

Written by 6W BoysAs silence filled the air I reluctantlyplaced my hand in the lunch bag.I had butterflies in my stomach asI reached down further, I thoughtI was never going to reach the bottomof that bag. Then to my surpriseI touched something that felt wet, slimyand awful. As I pulled my hand out ofthe bag I could smell vinegar but myfinger tip was the colour of baby poo.

IMAGERY atCOONAMBLE

The Old Dented White VanJack DurhamRrrrrrrrrrrrrt!! !!!!!! !!Went the brakeson the car. It pulled up on the side ofthe road because a child needed togo to the toilet. The father hadforgotten the child and accidentlydriven off. Suddenly a big, old, dinted,white van parked in front of the child."Creeeek!" went the door as itopened. The lost child stepped in andhe saw Hairy James, a cranky oldlady, a wild man and Super Mouse.The lost child sat down next to HairyJames and the crank old lady. Theystared at him with wide eyes. The lostchild asked if he could have musicon, Super Mouse took the wheel andhe put on fart noises, Hairy James dida real fart, next to the child. Pooof! Itsmelled like grotty old cheese. I couldeven see it going all around inside thevan scrunching up the fluff on the rooflike fire was burning it. Suddenly thechild looked out the window and sawhis Mum and Dad's car sitting on theside of the road without any sight ofthem. The child suspiciously looked ateveryone in the old van. Theyappeared in Zombie Ville. It was timefor the cranky old lady's turn to drive.The cranky old lady engaged thearmour system. The cranky old ladydrove very slowly and bang boom!Army zombies were throwingdangerous brown boulders on top oftall gigantic buildings but the ladysafely drove out of Zombie Ville.Suddenly Hairy James was growinghis hair faster and faster but the oldlady was catching a fever! SuperMouse quickly got out the first aid kitand scissors, there was a specialbright pink medicine.

Quickly Super Mouse gave the childthe medicine and the old sick ladydrank the medicine and 20 minuteslater the old lady was starting to getbetter. But then the child noticed theold lady was the child's Mum. Then itwas James turn to have his haircut.Super Mouse gave the scissors to thewild man and wildly he cut HairyJames hair and when it was finishedHairy James wasn't Hairy James anymore he was the child's Dad. WhenSuper Mouse noticed he drove themhome, and lived ever after.

Should Children have to doHomework?????

Aidan EveringhamDo you really think having homeworkis fun? If you do you must be crazy!!It will be easy to find out that doinghomework is not fun. Play and familytime are far more important to lifethan homework. I think we shouldhave family time because you get tofind out their background. I think weshould have play because playing isexciting. I think we should not dohomework because it wastes ink. Doyou think we should do homework?Homework means we are sitting on achair and being inactive. Do you thinkthis is a good thing? Our playtimewould be much better spent on sport.Exercise keeps us healthy and fit.Playing sport helps us develop skillssuch as social skills, co-ordinationand teamwork. Do you really want tomiss out on this because ofhomework? I don't think so!

NOHOMEWORK

SHOULD CHILDREN HAVE TO DOHOMEWORK?Star McKenzieAre you positive that homework isnecessary?I bet you that kids prefer to do craft,sport and time with friends ratherthan do dumb homework. If youbelieve that children should dohomework you must be totally crazy. Iwill explain why.It will soon become so obvious to youthat homework is totally notnecessary.Craft and friends are way moreimportant to life than boringhomework. Children develop socialskills when they play with friends butwhen they do homework they all getcooped up inside. When kids do craftthey express themselves but withhomework it's a different matter. Kidsjust get stuck with the some boringsubjects. Craft and friends areawesome and fun. Homework isboring and bland.Homework means we're sitting on achair but when we do sport we'rerunning, jumping and getting fit,active and healthy. Do you really wantus to spend our time on a chair? Ourfree time could be so much betteroutside playing sport with our friends.Would you rather us be happy playingsport or be miserable doinghomework. Playing sport teaches uslots of skills like social skills and co-ordination skills. Are you positive thatyou really want us to miss out on fun

things like this for some dumbhomework?Sitting, studying Uh how BORING.A tiny amount of people in the worldthink that homework has some actualbenefits. They say that the benefitsare things like it gives you revision onthings you have already learnt andyou get to learn things that yourteacher might get to teach you inclass. If we didn't have homework wewould have time to do awesomethings instead we've got disgustinghomework.Fun, friends, Family or homework it'sobvious which are more important.Fun, friends, family.Homework is as boring as watchingan apple tree grow. Children shouldabsolutely not do homework.

I REALLY WANT A MOBILE PHONEMekayla PeacockDear Mum and DadI really want a mobile phone.I promise I will look after it and I won'task for another thing.I'm really mature. I really want amobile phone badly it will help mewith my homework when you're busy.It can also be used for my safety likeif I go to my friend's house you canring to make sure I got there safety.I deserve one because I do what I'mtold and I take the rubbish out, cleanthe vacuum all those things. I will payfor it by doing chores like the dishes,laundry, vacuuming and cleaning myroom. So please can I get a mobilephone because I really want one?
