Conflicting Emotions

Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright!

At the MCG one night.

What immortal foot or eye,

Could kick a goal after the siren and sink the

SWANS.?

Answer: Ex-Northie, Sam Lloyd!

What a wonderful memory was created for Sam, on

Saturday night. One of only 38 players to have

achieved this feat.

And yes; I must admit, that Swans fan or not, as

Sam lined his kick up, I was hoping his aim was true.

Funky Hair Day On Friday 20th of May, Deniliquin North School will be holding a “Funky Hair

Day”. Children may go wild and wacky with their hair on that day. The day is to

raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.

Children can be as creative as they wish to be with their hair on that day. They can

be as wild– or not with their hair, as they wish to be. Some suggestions are:

Have their hair done in a different way just for the day,

Have special hair decorations that day,

Wear a wig for the day,

Colour their hair for the day (in a colour that will wash out). If hair sprays are

brought to school, these need to be given to class teachers.

Children may wear casual clothes that day.

Children are asked to bring a GOLD COIN donation on the day.

Christie and Jack Gavel will be doing the “World’s Greatest Shave” as part of the

fundraising that day. Paula Barnette will be coming up to school to do this, during

assembly at 12.30 that day (please note change of assembly day for that week).

Parents are invited to come along to this assembly and watch Christie and Jack

being shaved. Christie has set up a fundraising team called, “DNPS Rumbles Rebels”.

If you would like to make a donation directly to this team , you could go to the team

page link, which is:

https://secure.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?

teamID=95909

Or, you could make a donation on the day.

The Leukaemia Foundation is a terrific organisation. Funds raised go towards a

variety of things– research into treatments and cures for blood cancers,

accommodation for regional families who have loved ones having treatments, and

supporting people with leukaemia in many other ways. Leukaemia has touched the

lives of many people in our town, and this is just one way of helping out.

THE TOILET MONSTER

Seth, Annabel, Xavier,

Talitha and Benji were

playing hide and seek in

the playground.

In the toilets a monster climbed out of a toilet. It

slowly jumped down to the playground.

The kids saw the monster. The kids ran away. They

ran to their classroom and shut the door and the

windows.

Xavier told the teacher, Mrs Hanns. “We found a

monster outside!” said Xavier.

Mrs Hanns didn’t believe the boys and girls. Then,

she looked out of the window. She saw the monster.

Benji said, “I need to tell Mr Hogan!” Benji sneaked

out of the room and punched the monster in the

face.

The monster got scared.

Benji ran to Mr Hogan’s office. “Get out of the

office super quick, because there is a monster

outside.” He said.

Mr Hogan did not believe Benji. Then, he looked out

the window and he saw the monster.

The monster punched the window and it smashed.

Mr Hogan caught the monster with a net and he put

it back in the sewers.

Great Ideas from Seth Robins, Annabel Wilson,

Xavier Johnstone, Talitha Longley and Benji

THE POND MONSTER

Ruby, Kyah, Indi, Alyssa and Kyle walked into

their classroom after lunch, and they saw some

water on the floor.

They followed the trail of the water. The trail led to

the goldfish pond.

Alyssa looked into the pond and she saw a monster.

The monster had big muscles and it was blue. It was

as big as a baby dolphin. The monster was swimming

in the pond and it was trying to find something eat.

It saw Mrs Hanns. It licked its lips. It jumped out of

the pond. It chased Mrs Hanns around the room.

Alyssa, Indi, Ruby, Kyle and Kyah ran out of the

room. They ran to the office. Ruby rang the police.

Kyah rang the ambulance. Alyssa went to see Mr

Hogan.

Mr Hogan and the kids went back to the room. When

they walked through the door, they saw the monster

had eaten the whole class. Mrs Hanns’ feet were

hanging out of its mouth.

Mr Hogan got a knife out of the drawer. He chopped

the monster’s head off. Kyle, Alyssa, Ruby, Indi and

Kyah helped all the kids and Mrs Hanns to get out of

the monster’s tummy.

All the kids took the monster home and cooked it on

the BBQ. They all lived happily ever after, and the

monster went to heaven forever.

By Ruby Gordon, Indi Moore, Alyssa Cawley, Kyle

Orr and Kyah Watson

WRITING BLITZ at NORTH

3 New Books Released!-Exciting new kindergarten authors!

THE BLUE MONSTER

Amy went to the door and opened it. A blue monster

with sharp teeth and hairy legs and yellow eyes

knocked Amy over and ran through the door. The

monster had stinking breath.

All the kids were scared. The room got stinky and

the kids ran outside.

The monster climbed up into the fish tank and ate all

the fish.

Riley, Tynen, Brydey and Riley helped Amy to get

up.

The monster jumped out of the fish tank. It ran

across the room to the fridge. It smashed the

fridge open and ate all the food.

The teacher, Mrs Hanns found a net. She gave the

net to Tynen. He ran up to the monster and threw

the net onto the monster. The monster tried to

escape. Brydey had a big jar. She put the jar on top

of the nasty monster. Riley screwed the lid on the

jar.

All of the kids carried the monster to the fridge.

They put the monster in the freezer.

At home-time the kids took the monster out of the

freezer. It was frozen.

They put the monster in Riley’s car. Riley drove his

car out to the dump. When he got to the dump he

got the monster out.

The monster got run over by a car. In the car was

Mrs Hanns. The jar got broken and the monster was

DEAD!

Camping is fun!

-YES or NO???

I strongly believe camping is an awesome idea. I

believe this, because when you go camping, you have

lots of room to play, you can go swimming and you can

play games at night….

Strong start by Eliza Johnstone

I truly believe that camping is amazing, because you

can cook snags under the fire, smell fresh air and

listen to sounds. I think it is fun. ...

Great beginning by Ella Marshall

It is fun, because you can play with your friends and

play sport. For example, you can kick a footy and run

around….

By Harley Hicks

I strongly believe that camping is my favourite thing

at Easter time, because we get to ride the bikes, go

fishing and hunting, and sleep in a swag….

By Angus Knox

I like fishing, because last year I caught a 66 cm

cod. So, I really like it.

I like motorbike riding, because you can chase

kangaroos and go over jumps….

By Ben Dunmore

….So, go to the camping shop and get wood and also a

tent, and a swag. And, don’t forget your

marshmallows…..

Nice ending by Ruby Caruso

1/2R Stories

The genie gives you a wish.

What is your wish? What

happens?

One day, I found a lamp in my

room. It was dusty and I

rubbed it. A genie came out of the lamp.” I will give

you one wish, but you can’t wish for 1 million wishes,”

said the genie.

I said, “okay! I wish that I will have pets at my

house.”

The genie said,” your wish is granted!”….

By Tyeesha Hicks

…… So, I rubbed the lamp and out came a genie.” I

will give you two wishes,” said the genie.

“I wish I was a Lego person, and I wish, my Lego was

alive!” I said.

Then, POP!!! I was turned into a Lego person, and my

Lego was alive.”…..

By Jack Brown

One day, I woke up and it was so hot I went to our

pool. I asked mum for a drink out of the jug, because

I was sunbaking.

It got so hot, I decided to water sunbake, which

meant I was in the pool.

Mum brought the jug out and left. The jug was dirty

so I cleaned it. But, it was a lamp and I accidentally

rubbed the lamp. All of a sudden, smoke came out…..

By Samara Watson

One day, I was down at the beach. I was playing ball,

and I kicked up the sand. I saw a genie’s lamp and I

brought it to my bedroom. I rubbed the lamp and a

genie came out….

By Harry Bull

On Wednesday, after school, I went to the river and

I found a lamp. A ghost came out of the lamp, and

the ghost said,” I am the genie of the lamp. I will

give you one wish. What will it be?”

I said,” I want to be rich. I want to have lots of

money, to buy my favourite house.”

Then, all of a sudden, I put my hands in my pocket,

and there was heaps of money….

By Megan Lawson

It was night time. There was something under my

sheet. I took my sheet off and I found a lamp. I

thought lamps weren’t real. And then, the floor

started shaking, and a genie came out of the lamp….

By Stella Bashford

One day, I was outside and I was planting a flower. I

turned around and I found a lamp, but I thought it

was a kettle. I washed it and I accidentally rubbed

it. A genie came out of the lamp…..

By Holly Allitt

On Wednesday, dad and I went to the river and I

was digging a hole. I found the lamp and I showed

dad. I gave it to dad and he put it on the ground. The

wind blew it on the sand, and a genie came out of it...

By Charlie McCallum

What They Wished For …I want to be invisible. While I am invisible I will rob

a bank… (Matthew Pitt)

… A genie popped out and the girl wished for a

puppy….(Lucy Willis)

… I was Luke Skywalker, because I loved Star

Wars…(Jim Jachim)

… I wished to be a Power Ranger. I wished to be the

blue and gold Power Ranger, and to have a

swordfish….(Max Hillier)

…. I wish to be a dinosaur. I was an adult

pterodactyl. I flew all around town…(Stephen

Thomas)

EXCERPTS from 3/4H

Students were asked to complete the picture

and then write the story.

I was amazed! I couldn’t believe my eyes. A flying

centaur was outside my window. I thought that

centaurs were myths. What!

The centaur vanished into the air. Now, where was

my proof that centaurs exist?

I went down the stairs to my apartment. Then, I

walked out the door. The only proof that I had seen

a centaur was a pile of ash. When the centaur went

poof!-into thin air, ash fell on the cement….

By Scout McKenzie

One day I was just birdwatching out of my window,

when I saw something colourful. I took a look. I saw

an extremely big dog head! I rubbed my eyes. It was

gone for a second. I thought I was cra-cra-crazy!

The next day, I went to my window, not for

birdwatching, but to look for extremely big dog

heads. I was leaning out of my window, but

suddenly…. I fell! I thought I was going to die, but I

didn’t….

By Chloe Manzin

….. I was out looking for my hamster, Jo Jo (he is a

magician). I had been looking for days, weeks,

minutes.

One day, when I was looking out my window, I saw a

cat with wings. Can you believe that? I videoed the

cat with lightning behind it. I posted it on the

internet, and I became famous. I was rich…..

By Lucy Pitt

One sunny afternoon, Barney was sitting down with

relatives, watching his favourite TV show, The

Simpsons. That was when he heard screaming,

”aaahhh!”

Barney grabbed his binoculars and hung halfway out

of his window. He was amazed at what he saw. It was

a lion….

By Tahlia Johnstone

There was once a bird. It was the rarest bird in all

of Australia. This bird was called, the Pearl of

Pearls.

Surprisingly, about 12 months ago, there was a man

called, Mr Timothy Hanns, and he was out

birdwatching, in the woods. He did not find the bird

he was looking for, so he went home.

When he got home he made himself a cup of hot

chocolate, and when he turned around, he saw the

bird. “Wow!” said Timothy. He was so happy, but he

forgot, that he had his hot chocolate in his hand, and

he flung it up in the air. It landed, straight on top of

his head….

By Mollie Maher

Hi! My name is Fred. I have found the largest

milkshake in the world. I said to dad,” look out the

window. I have found the largest milkshake in the

world.”

“Let me have a look!” said dad. Dad went to the

window and he fell out…..
