The cat that went splat by Lucca

The cat that went splat

SPLAT!!!!! That is the sound of a cat that just tried to jump a 10 storey apartment and failed terribly and went SPLAT!!!!!!. I am going to tell you about that funny cat called Mya.

One sunny, beautiful, summer’s day a beautiful cat called Mya wanted to jump to the other side of her apartment, the problem was that her apartment  is 10 storeys high and about two meters long. That didn't stop Mya so she had a big run up and jumped! At first she thought that she was flying but…

... Sadly her big run up was not enough and she put her arms and legs out and went SPLAT on the concrete! Nobody knows what happened to Mya but  I think that was the end of Mya the beautiful cat. I feel sorry for Mya but if you ask me I think it is pretty funny.

Next time lets hope that Mya does not do something like that again and that cats think before they jump. Hopefully I will be there next time to catch her.

The End.

The very bad dog by Lucas

The very bad dog

It all started on a very windy Sunday. I drove to my cousins’ house and when I stepped in through the door the first thing I noticed was…  they had a new dog! So we all went inside and the dog started jumping up and licking me and my little sister.

We finally got down stairs and got welcomed by our cousins who told us the dog’s name was Nelson. Nelson was black, fluffy and very little. After that, me and my cousins went down another set of stairs and went outside. Outside we played fetch with a handball and went on the trampoline.

A while later we got pizza for lunch. So we all sat down outside and started eating but I needed to go to the bathroom. When I got back I saw Nelson with MY pizza in his mouth and I found out that he jumped up onto the table and started nibbling on it. I was so upset. So I took my pizza back and held him up in the air then he put his front paws together! So funny.

After that finally we were allowed dessert. And guess what? The same thing happened again but with some apple crumble. That dog Nelson was just so naughty. I felt like throwing him off the balcony. But I didn’t. I was not impressed with that little dog’s behavior.

In conclusion Nelson is a very naughty and playful puppy. And when I go back it is going to be worse because he will be bigger!  And more naughty.   

Poor old Zaccy by Maggie

Zaccy

This is my story of how poor old Zaccy got a hook stuck in his mouth. It all started when me and my cousins went down to the beach to walk Zaccy the dog.

My cousins and I were down on the beach with Zaccy. There was a old man fishing and he was just pulling up his rod when Zac came running to the fish on the hook and ate it all up and you can guess what happened, he got the hook in his mouth!!

Me and Charlie came running up the beach to our bach to tell Charlie’s mum and dad. Then they came running down to poor old Zaccy. Next my dad came to see what the fuss was all about. luckily he had brought his tool kit that had lots of tools in it including tweezers so he got them out and started working on the little operation to get the hook out.

Meanwhile the old man was yelling at Harry my other cousin. He was being mean to Harry and said not very nice things about Zaccy to him.

Finally we got the hook out. We were all very happy that Zaccy was ok.  

Jessica's naughty pet story

Meg’s first ice cream

One day 9 years ago, I was having my first ever ice cream. Yum chocolate, my favourite flavour. It was at my beach house in Whitianga.

When I had my first ever ice cream my parents were videoing it. I was eating my ice cream minding my own business when I showed my dog a yellow labrador named Meg my ice cream and guess what? She ate it.

I started crying. My Mum took me and comforted me. After that Meg looked very  pleased with chocolate ice cream all over her face, I definitely wasn't.   

Then 7 years later I watched the video on my birthday party with my friends. We all started laughing really hard because it was so funny. I might put it on youtube.

Assembly Term 3

On the 15^th of August 2014 Room 7 had their assembly, our main focus was to inspire our audience with our mihi and to talk about global warming effects on Antarctica’s animals but especially our fluffy friends the Emperor Penguin. 

We performed a dance about staying alive and we were trying to reach out to the audience and tried to get them involved in as many ways as possible, our class also spent lots of time crafting origami beaks to use for the dance to make it more amusing. We also gave many example of how global warming is destroying habitats and killing animals. 

 

At the beginning of our assembly we performed a Māori song that was about Māori language vowels because our old student teacher Mrs Villiamu had a thing about music and how it can affect our daily lives, so we were inspired to use her style of music and perform a song that her, and our awesome teacher Mrs Stennard taught us. 

At the end of our fabulous assembly the netball certificates were handed out and our school was very proud to have one first place team, two second place teams and a fourth place team.
