FROM THE SCHOOL ON A HILL

The school with a BIG-HEART, and a little less hair, has raised the enormous sum of $803 for the Leukemia

Foundation after several fundraisers, including last Friday’s Funky Hair Day. Staff member, Christie Gavel

who shaved down, with son, Jack, for the entertainment of the school assembly, has raised over $3000 for

Team Rumble. A sensational effort by Christie, Jack and the North community!! For news of how the purple

mermaid (Mrs Rumble) is faring in her fight with leukemia, see over the page!

A HAIR-RAISING

$803

RAISED


Mrs Rumble Making Strong Progress

It’s great to be able to relate that Mrs Rumble is

fighting the good fight; and although she is far from

fit and well, she is pleasing the doctors with her

progress.

She is very proud of the fund-raising efforts of our

students and community, and can’t wait to escape

from the clutches of a hospital ward and return to

fair Deni.

With husband, David by her side she remains in good

cheer and is very upbeat.

All going to plan, she should be home within the next

few months.

PAUL KELLY CUP HIGHLIGHTS The school’s Paul Kelly Cup teams

competed last Wednesday at

Memorial Park, and although they were not

amongst the medals, a fine time was had by

all.

In what was a superb day to enjoy a kick, a

handball and the odd mark, Josie, the

kangaroo, even managed to find time to hop

along and say hello to her favourite team-the

Swanettes!

The dynamic Dudleys-Charlie and Sam,

cleaned up, slotting 5 and 2 goals repectively,

and according

to coach Geoff

McCallum, Sam ‘sold so much candy’, he is

about to open a lolly shop.

Our thanks to Will Murray for coaching the

Legends, and Geoff for doing the honours

with the Swans.

Thanks also to Sarah Macdonald who kindly

washed the jerseys.


SOMETHING in the BIN Mr Hogan went to the bin to put rubbish in it.

He heard a crash and a bang coming from inside the

bin.

Mr Hogan stood still and stared at the bin.

All of a sudden something jumped out of the bin. All

of the rubbish went into the air. It fell on top of Mr

Hogan. He tried to pull all the rubbish off, but he

couldn’t. The rubbish was stuck to him. It was smelly

and it got in his eyes. Mr Hogan couldn’t see.

Something bit him on the nose. It was a ginormous,

hairy, blue monster.

Brydey, Amy, Mitchell, Tynen and Riley ran to their

classroom and got a net. Riley threw the net at the

monster. The monster got away. Tynen got a big

bucket and dropped it on the monster. The monster

was trapped.

Brydey helped pull all the rubbish off Mr Hogan. Mr

Hogan could now see. He saw a monster with a

bucket on its head. He got scared and he ran away.

The kids were brave. They picked up the monster.

They took it to the tar pit.

Mitchell had a machine at the tar pit. The machine

had a wheel and a giant bucket. Mitchell, Amy and

Riley turned the wheel. The tar fell on the monster,

and it was never seen again.

Great ideas by Brydey Maher, Amy Doherty,

Mitchell Avis, Tynen Rothe and Riley Walker

MR HOGAN and the GIANT MONSTER Mr Hogan went to the bin to eat the rubbish. He was

hungry and he wanted some food.

He heard a crunching noise. “Wooooh!”

Mr Hogan got scared. He ran away.

A green, stripy monster jumped out of the bin. The

monster ran after Mr Hogan. It chased him through

the school. It chased him through the forest. It

chased him into the river.

Alyssa, Kyle, Indi and Kyah ran to the river because

Kyah heard a big splash. The monster chased Alyssa.

The monster chased Indi.

The monster was so giant it could pick trees up. The

monster pulled a massive tree out of the ground. It

threw the tree into the water. The boys and girls

used the tree as a bridge. Indi, Alyssa, Kyle and

Kyah ran over the bridge. Alyssa helped Mr Hogan

out of the water.

The kids quickly made a net and caught the monster.

They dragged the monster back to the bin. They

buried the monster in the bin.

The kids had saved the day.

Ideas by Alyssa Hawley, Kyle Orr, Indi Moore

and Kyah Watson

MR HOGAN and the TIGER Mr Hogan went to the bin to put his junk in. He

started putting the junk into the bin and he heard a

scratching sound. He thought it was a possum.

Mr Hogan banged on the bin. Suddenly a tiger

jumped out of the bin. The tiger chased Mr Hogan.

He was scared.

The tiger chased him through the forest. It chased

him to the river.

Lucky for Mr Hogan, tigers don’t like water, so Mr

Hogan jumped into the water. He started to swim.

He sank under the water. He saw a shark and an

octopus. He saw a submarine. He hopped in the

submarine. The octopus climbed onto the submarine

and it ripped the submarine apart. Mr Hogan got into

a diver’s suit and he got away. He got out of the

water. He ran back to the bin and the tiger chased

him. Mr Hogan jumped into the bin. The tiger ran

away.

One day, a man went to his friend’s house. Suddenly,

when he went inside the house, there was a white

shadow. It was a ghost. There were mice everywhere

-black and white ones, and rainbow ones. The ghost

talked like a dog. It smelt like bats….

By Ben Dunmore

One day, my friends found a gangster rat. He was

very strong. Everyone who looked at him got the

chills. My friend said,” do you want to have a tug-o-

war?’

The rat looked at them and said,”yes!-Tomorrow at

seven!”

The next day, the rat had a very angry look. He had

a ripped-jeans, singlet and a mohawk….

One spooky Halloween night, I knocked on the door.

I found a note, it said,” never go to next door,

because the demons, werewolves and Dracula are

there.”

I said,” that can’t be real!” So, I went next door.

I knocked on the door. A big ghost answered the

door. I screamed and dropped my candy. I picked it

up, but before I knew it, the door slammed shut, and

I was stuck in the house.

On my way up the squeaky stairs a skeleton started

to talk to me.” Hi mate!” he said…..

By Ruby Caruso

Stephen opened the door to his house and, POW!-An

alien mummy, and its pet gooey monster were having

a party in Stephen’s house.

They grabbed Stephen, but the gooey monster

accidentally grabbed him too quickly and the

monster’s arms stretched like elastic. Then, it pulled

Stephen really quickly and he landed on his belly.

Stephen wiggled around until the gooey monster

popped……

By James Blease

One day, there was a boy named Gary, who loved ice

cream. His mum gave him blobs of ice cream for

lunch.

One boring day, Gary visited his grandmother, to

stay for a week. He started exploring in his

grandma’s house.

All of a sudden, he found a strange door that he had

never seen before.

“Booo!” said grandma.

Gary turned around and saw her. “Can I open this

door?” said Gary.

“No!!” replied grandma.

“Why not?” asked Gary.

“Because, there is something behind the door that

you like, but it tastes bad.”

Gary didn’t listen, so he opened the door.

He saw nothing at all. He went inside and saw…. A

BIG BLOB OF ICE CREAM!!

Gary walked closer and closer, and tapped the blob

of ice cream. It started chasing Gary.

Gary ran past a lot of heaters that were all turned

on. The more he ran past the heaters, the more the

ice cream melted. Then, the ice cream was gone….

By Ella Marshall

One day, a reporter was knocking at my door. I

opened it, and he introduced himself. He said his

name was James Blease, a reporter from the

Melbourne news.

He said to me, ”have you seen anything strange?”

“I haven’t seen anything,” I said.

Then, he walked off and I started setting up a pool.

When I was done, I put the pool outside. I got the

hose and sprayed it with some water…

One day, I came home from school and I opened my

door, and there was a chicken in my room.

As soon as I walked into my room, the chicken ran

out and sat down and laid an egg. I followed it into

the kitchen and I saw a cracked egg on the floor. I

had to pick it up with a tissue, and put it in the bin.

Then, I had to get rid of the chicken.

Then, one day, I looked under my bed, and there was

a cracked egg….

By Amy Weir

Phil was coming home from work, and he saw that the

door was locked. His wife, Sophie opened the loud

door. It made a very creaky noise. Phil slowly walked

inside to a dark room. He felt like someone was

watching him. “SURPRISE! Happy birthday Phil!” The

people shouted.

Standing in the middle of the room was Phil’s big

birthday cake. The cake was as big as a hotel room,

with all the colours of the rainbow. There was green

icing with sprinkles on top, and strawberries all

around the layers…..

Craft and I spawned a zombie on a village.

One day when I was doing my homework about the

war. I was looking in images on the computer, when….

The computer sucked me in!

It’s sucked me into a picture that I really didn’t

want to see again. It was dusty with bodies

everywhere.

A person came up behind me in a green suit and said,”

you’re in the wrong place kid-you’re in the middle of

a war-now get down!”

He grabbed me and pulled me to the ground. So,

that’s what all the bodies on the ground were for, I

thought. Instead of being in history, I am history!

After that, luckily I made it to their base-MASH

4007.

When we got there the person in the green suit

said,” where’s your home?”

I replied, ”Australia-Deniliquin, Old Morago Road.”

“Australia!” He said. “Where is Australia? I know

where Deniliquin is, but Australia….?”

Then, I just remembered that I was in the past.

I said,” I mean Terra Nullius!”…….

A SPIN OF THE WHEEL FROM 4H The following excerpts from 4H are the result of

a spin of the class story-writing wheel.

Scenario 1: Wanda the witch is carrying a love

potion, when she trips….

Scenario 2: Bobby the bunny is dreaming of a

cloud which isn’t a cloud…..

…..Rumble! Rumble!

“Ahhh!” screamed the witch. She had just done a

very, very bad thing. She had tripped and the potion

had landed in the mouth of a troll.It wasn’t just any

troll though. It was the mighty troll, Vala.

There was only one thing for Wanda to do. RUN! She

ran without looking back and went into her lair. OH

NO!!!.....

By Scout McKenzie

Bobby the bunny was fast asleep. He was dreaming

about laying in a cabbage patch (that, was his

favourite dream). Just then, in his dream….

A huge, black cloud drifted in the sky above him. He

looked up and stared at the cloud for a few seconds,

when he realised it wasn’t a cloud. It was an alarm

clock, so he ran away from it.

All of a sudden, the alarm clock grew arms and

became louder, so he had to run faster, jump higher.

Not long after, Bobby found a cave where he hid for

about an hour…..

By Luke Moodie

There was once a witch called Flower. I know it’s a

nice name, but she is not a nice witch of course. She

had a crush on the Prince of New York. She made a

potion, and she put it in two cupcakes (by the way,

the Prince loved cupcakes!).

When she was ready, she put it inside a little

spaceship, and when she was walking, she tripped

over a rock. The cupcakes flew out of the spaceship

and landed in the mouth of a mouse.

She ran all the way home locked the door, but she

forgot something. Her house was made of cheese….

By Lucy Pitt

…. It landed in the mouth of the dragon. As soon as

it saw her, the dragon kissed her deeply with love.

“What are you doing to me?” said Wanda.

“I was just giving you a kiss, my love,” replied the

dragon.

“Well, I don’t want to be with you,” said Wanda.

“Well, that’s very upsetting, Miss Wanda,” replied

the dragon.

Wanda really hated the dragon because she thought

it wasn’t really her style. She wanted the handsome

prince that Cinderella had fallen in love with. Wanda

was jealous-very jealous! She kept saying to herself

that the Prince and her were meant to be.

She made a magical potion, but no ordinary potion. It

was a love potion….

EXCERPTS FROM 6S

Our senior citizens in 6S have been working

on their own fantasy stories.

By Sam Dudley

Have you ever had a life that feels like a dream? A

nightmare, where you’re the only one who

understands you? You’re alone, no one to help you, no

one to ask a question, and no one to talk to. This is

what my life is like and here’s my story.

There is a land far, far away that was made by gods

before time was invented. This is a place where the

extraordinary is just ordinary. There are mountains

that break the atmosphere and caves that reach to

the core of this majestic, mythical and mysterious

place…..

By Charlie Dudley

Splish! Splash! Splosh! The waves came in but I was

not that close to the beach. Then Jade came along.

”What are you doing there?”

“Nothing,” I said.

I forgot to tell Jade that there were bluebottles on

the sand….

Put yourself in my shoes, even though they probably

wouldn’t fit. My life, is put down after put down,

tease after tease. I am what you call, The Nerd King.

By Tom Cochrane

….. The rain sounded like bullets hitting the deck.

Waves smashed the ship with anger. I walked to the

back of the boat and then it happened. I fell

overboard. I did not know how to swim. Everything

went black.

I awoke on grass, wondering what happened, my mind

spinning. Then, a figure approached me. I couldn’t

make it out until it was close. It was a bull, but no

ordinary bull. It was walking on two legs like a

human….

By Dan James

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get

sucked into a portal, or a portal in a portable toilet?

Well, I have a story to tell you!

It was a nice sunny day and as per usual, mum didn’t

want to go outside, but I did. So, I walked outside

through what seemed like a jungle of grass, until I

realised that the grass wasn’t up to my knees any

more. Why was this happening? I thought. Then, I

saw a portable toilet…..

By Sophie Willis

I always wished to have sparkly, glittery and

DEELICIOUS milk, but I don’t have to wish any

more. Today is my very first day on the job. I have

to eat lots of glitter grass though, so it makes my

milk sparkly-although I do get a bad tummy ache, if

I eat too much in one mouthful. Oh, I’m the luckiest

glitter-cow ever!

Every morning, I wake up at precisely 6:04 AM, eat

glitter grass for one hour, and then the fairies come

and milk me. I know what you’re thinking-why do

fairies want glittery milk? Well, actually they need it

to build things, grow things, sell things and make

potions etc.

I love to help as much as I can….

By Tabitha Napier


…. So, Michael got out of his queen sized, heated,

waterbed, and got into his anti-slip, automatic

shower for five minutes and three seconds.

Finally, when Michael finished, they started packing

their stuff for camping.

”This is going to be great!” Evan said excitedly, as he

and Michael set off.

They went about 45 km out of town and headed down

a road that looks like it has never been used

before…..

By Luke Learmonth

…. We finally followed him. Walking there was

mayhem. We were walking through vines, twisted

trees; tripping over big nuts, but the worst was

walking through spiderwebs. Some, with spiders.

After all that mayhem, it came to an end. To walk

through a string door beaded with stones….
