The Twisted World 🌍😈 One day in the middle of summer Liam was playing a game of soccer at Mount Taranaki national park. One of the players kicked the ball into the forest; “I’ll get it” shouted Liam as he entered the forest he that he won’t come out of anytime soon. Liam searched the forest in the direction where the ball flew and then he found the a small circular crater the size of a soccer ball right in front of a mirror. Liam got closer to the mirror and realised there were only twisted forms of what’s in the reflection. The mirror started glowing, the things around him were corrupting and all he heard were screams; “Help!” yelled Liam at the top of his lungs; it all went white. Liam woke up in a place very dark; “uhh where am I?” Liam asked himself. Liam wanders around the twisted place and then he finds a dark purple cloud that keeps glowing. “Wow, decent light” Liam said sarcastically. “Hello…Liam” said a voice; “who speaks” Liam says nervously. The clo...

We use punctuation to make sense; to give the story more detail and it’s; and it’s way easier to read. Punctuation is one of the main parts in writing and the simplest thing can make it more interesting to read. Punctuation makes your writing make a lot more sense for the reader because they know who’s talking and all you need to do is add simple speech marks at the beginning and end where someone speaks. To make the story have more detail we can insert it by using colons, semi colons, comas and hyphens. It makes our story more interesting. Our stories are so much easier to read when we use full stops and capital letters. It shows the reader where to start and stop at the start and end of a sentence   These are some reasons why we use punctuation. By Jasmin.

It was a nice sunny spring morning in Taranaki so me and my family decided to go on a bush walk in Taranaki National Park. I breathed in the nice fresh air and listened to the native birds and rushing streams. Dry leaves crunched under my   feet and I smelt dirt and plants. Finally after we had walked for a while Mum announced she was famished and we should sit down for a rest and a snack I sat down on a damp log and opened our day pack I got a kiwi fruit out. Suddenly there was a quick flash and I felt the kiwi fruit get snatched out of my hand ; the kiwi fruit was gone. I caught a glimpse of a black cloaked figure sprinting away, I chased after it as fast as I could it felt   like I was going 100 km an hour we winded through trees   and twisted through vines. I could see a mysterious blue object shimmering in the distance I tried to   identify it but before I could stop I went flying through it like a speeding bullet.   The wh...

It had been raining all morning and then there was a enormous bang had waking me up in a fright. A cascade of water had catapulted into my room as if it was furious. Leaping out my bed I hastily hid behind the lee side of my archives in my wardrobe. Where I’d hidden was not adequate as I got tugged away in the massive wave of debris and distractions. As I clutched onto my squealing cat, I heard screams erupt, lights flickered and then complete darkness… By Jasmin

The Minute That Destroyed My Life 🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪 It had been raining all morning, I had just realised what happened after the minute of terror.    Howling winds, bruised sky, heavy rain and a foggy view. I’m screaming of agony, being petrified of the rumbling noise. It was like an earthquake but more destructive, and in a blink it was gone. I sat under the door frame wondering what it was. I walk out of the door and see that my hometown is destroyed. This is based on a true story, from my experience in a tornado. By Katie 🦄

THE MINUTE OF HORROR It had been raining all morning, but I didn’t know until the bang woke me up...   Sharp, high pitched screams erupted my eardrums, as I rushed down the hallway and drew the curtain open. There lay a horrible sight.   A fluorescent streak of lightning flashed across the bruised sky as thunder crashed on the ground. Water engulfed the house, muddy water seeping under the doors. A massive swirl swished around the house and all of a sudden, it was gone. I looked outside and my home town is destroyed. SCARLET

I got my tiny surfboard. I paddle to sea . The sun was shining yellow on my board it hurt my eyes . I got the board because it was hopeless and had dings in it was thin . I glued strips of glass into the cracks. Now it is the best.

Once upon a time, there was a tiny yellow bird called Olivia, and the favourite part about herself was that she had the most shiny wings out of any birds that lived. “NOOO!" shouted Olivia, her shiny wings are now tiny and hopeless wings. A few minutes later, a scientist saw Olivia sobbing her heart out, then the scientist fixed her wings with a magical potion and her wings were big and shiny again. 

The tiny Bug thought it was hopeless to help the yellow bird so the bug called Mr robot shark. Mr robot shark found a very thin twig and started poking the bird. The bug thought for awhile then the bird rose up into the shining sky and COMP! Mr robot shark ate it whole! “Thanks for the help” mumbled the bug. 

Once there was a yellow surfboard. It was hopeless because it was too thin and it always sunk to the bottom. By the way it was so tiny that it is smaller than a meter. It was so shiny when the sun reflected off it ‘it would sting your eyes

Once there was a crazy scientist who found a tiny, shiny and yellow bug. It was thin and hopeless and never happy. So the crazy scientist pulled out his cracked wand and said.” Abracadabra”Just   after he said those silly words...Puff! The bug was Big and happy.
