Alice's 100 wc week #25😊

On Thursdays I have touch. I play for my old school, Ohoka. Our team is called Ohoka Sprinters. Our team is a boys&girls team. This year we came 3rd in the competition that we entered. Once you play the game you needed to say “good game” to the other team. So we line up to say good game. I’m at the back of the line again. “Why am I always last?” I asked Pieta. Molly heard me and answered “Because you always cartwheel to the line.” “So that is why I am always last.” I realised. They nodded. I felt way better. Then we shook hands. I said goodbye to all my friends, I got a Mr Whippy with Ruby and went home.

Laura's 100wc Week #25

On Pet Day I entered the best dog competition. The dog that I entered was my dog Ziggy. I brushed him, bathed him, pampered him like he was royalty! He didn’t like the fancy collar and the bows and bits. He refused to take a bath so he ended up smelling horrible and looked the most hideous he had ever looked! We had to do it because we had already signed up. When I got to school with Ziggy I got him on his patch of grass. He had such bad posture unlike all of the other dogs who actually looked like royalty! Of course me and Ziggy lost. Then it was time for the best behaved bit. I hadn't practiced at all! I had been so busy that week. I walked round in circles while Ziggy went crazy and of course we came last. So that is why I am always last on Pet Day.

The car crash

My name is Rose Wingly. I was a normal person then the accident happened. It was a car crash. A truck was backing out a drive when we were going past. I was waking up so I couldn’t tell Dad to watch out. I was confused why it was dark. I fainted, and woke later in hospital. The doctor said I was paralyzed. I went to school the following week in a wheelchair. On Mondays it’s always P.E. I love P.E but today I was dreading it. I was paralyzed, so that is why I am always last.

Dear diary,

Have I ever told you why I am always last? Well if I have not, this is why. You see my class has to do the roll every day. I am always at the top of the list and Gemma is at the bottom. But, I am still last because Gemma gets called out first so she gets a turn at being first. I adore school. Just not the shivering cold mornings. “Hola Gemma!” Mrs Evers announces every morning.

“Hola Mrs Evers!” Gemma replies, stoked.

Then Mrs Evers says everyone's name, and finally my name. So that is why I am always last on the roll.

Lily 100wc Week #25

Every Tuesday and Thursday I slowly walk over to Jump Jam while all the other kids are racing there like a bunch of rockets. I’m always last to get there. I absolutely hate Jump Jam. To me if I owned it, it would be shut down so fast you can’t even blink your eyes. But sadly I don’t. When I do it I always gently bounce just an inch off the ground and move like a dying Zombie. Phewf, we have finally finished. This time all the kids are slowly walking while I run like a cheetah back to class. And then we start another day. So that is why I am always last to Jump Jam.

The mystery hand

There it was.The mossy hand. My eyes were drawn to it, growing bigger and bigger. It laid there on the leafy ground no one touched it or cared about it. I saw a gloomy flash go by. I gingerly walked up to it and stroked it. It was softer than a cat. I saw a faded code. It caught my interest so I tried to solve it. The moss was like a blanket over it. I could hear a scream of fear. I turned round and glared into the leafy bushes. Nothing was there I thought I was dreaming before about the scream. Then I saw red gloomy eyes stare at me. I ran, I didn’t know were I was going. I crashed into the tree like a clumsy bird. I fell into this dark place I didn’t know where I was. I felt something on my head. Big bold bright lights shined in my eyes. Some people shouted, “Ahhh QUEEN!”

There I was lazily flicking the channels on the couch at home on a Sunday night when finally I found a channel that caught my interest. I saw the people stand next to a huge mossy ugly hand. I wondered where it was. Later that night it told us where it was. ‘’Good evening the pale white hand is growing in Hagley park. Once they said that, I  thought I know that was the park that was near us. I thought how are  going to get the hand away? The next day I went to the park and  looked at it like I did not know what I was doing. I thought that they could just keep it there. One of the bosses ran around and yelled. “Do not touch it!” “Why?’’ I asked and explained how we could just leave it there.

“Oh I did not think it that way.” So they left it there with no problems at all.

                                                         The giant

One crisp autumn afternoon I was gingerly tiptoeing through the leafy park. My eyes glanced to a great big marble hand surrounding a tree with a limey blanket of moss clung on to it like a spider. I turned round and questioned myself was this a dream? NO. It can't be. Can it? If you imagine stuff in dreams don’t they usually appear? I turned back around and saw that the hand had disappeared? But then thud. The ground shook like ice cream on jelly. Suddenly there were two hands and two giant feet peeking out from the ground. I thought there was a giant underneath the ground but then there was a head too!

Annabel week #24 100wc

Where am I? I wonder...

I started to walk into the speckled forest, my eyes darted to the hand that kept on growing. I questioned myself should I keep going to that hand? But I bravely did. I glanced at the hand, it had a code that you had to crack. I started to walk as slowly as possible, I got there in the end. I started to put the numbers in the pin, at last I cracked it. The next moment I heard, “Go and get in that elevator next door to the park.” So I got in it and it went down. I was amazed  to see a giant and it was his hand growing! I tried to escape but I couldn't. What do I do? I asked myself. The giant grumpily murmured “It was me, all that time.” I didn't know what to do.

100 WC Week #24 Charlotte Chiles

I was cycling around the park with my mum when something caught my eye. Was it a hand? Yes it was. A giant’s hand made of stone was holding up a tree. It was very weird!  We got off our bikes and gazed at it in wonder. Was it a piece of art? What was it there for? How long had it been there ? I did not know! I gingerly touched it. It felt smooth and warm from sitting in the baking sun all day. People were walking past it and children were climbing all over the fingers. I could hear people talking about a friendly giant who lived many years ago and loved planting trees but disappeared and was never seen again. I guess the story I heard might be true.

The secret door week #24.

There. Beautiful - the secret door. I tried to open the moss covered door. But it did not work,. It was securely locked. Suddenly I realised something massive moving in the bush. I got goosebumps down my spine. I just shivered. “Ouch!” I screamed. The key to the door fell on my head. I shoved the key in the rusted lock and slowly turned it. BOOM! Leaves scattered  everywhere. I turned around and there... the secret garden. Suddenly stone fingers emerged from the ground like they were pausing to pick up a tree. Today they remain there - frozen as a sculpture.

Alice's wc week #24

I was going for a stroll at the park when I found it. The giant that lives underground. I gingerly walked up to it. His hand stuck out and would you believe it, showed the code to Candyland! People have been wondering what to do about it for ages. But I always say to myself “Please don’t do anything about it.” Over and over again. One day when I felt particularly brave, I sneaked in and it was delicious! Then a couple of hours later I tried to get out but I was stuck in Candyland! I thought that it’s probably because they found something to do about it. But the bright side was that I could eat candy all day long and nobody could stop me!

Charlotte C's 100wc Week #23

Once when my mum was cooking dinner in her new pot that was yellow and she loved her pot she tried to cook but it didn’t look good so I did not eat it. I tried it. It was bad it turned was bad so I gingerly fed the food to my dog. Then I discovered a bright pink diamond well I was bending down to feed the dog my food mum made. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It remarkable I sold it to get money to spend on toys but  however it was fake money the person called Lucy ripped me off. The toy person told me I got $10000000 that was a lot of money down the drain, she is so mean...

A girl named Holly...

Holly’s life was great, however she had just moved house...

While her parents were looking around the house, Holly discovered a secret tunnel. Then, she fell over and twisted her ankle. She didn’t tell her parents, she started to walk gingerly. On their first night, Holly’s grandma visits and Mum asks if she can recommend an interior designer. Gran said “I had an interior designer come to my house - she was remarkable. Call her” She came and recommended my room should be yellow because that’s her favourite colour. It looked weird, so that was how her life ended. Or was it?...
