Earthquake - a story by Logan & Archie

Earthquake!

CHAPTER 1

I’m in my house watching 'Wipeout' on TV. Suddenly I feel a very big shake. The TV falls to the ground.

”Earthquake!” I shout as I dive under the table.  I see complete darkness. Suddenly I feel a soft, wet thing on my ear. I look up to see my dog licking my ear. Suddenly the table tips sideways as Rex jumps to the window. I go to the window, as I hear a crackling noise, I open the window to find...

Chapter 2

..."A PETROL CAN is ON FIRE!!” I yell, rushing away from the window.

"Logan!’’ I shout, "Stay away from the window," but I leave the window open and the fire spreads onto the curtains!! I reach for the door; shut! There is a pile of rocks blocking the door. I reach for the window; shut! We’re stuck in our house so the emergency helicopter can’t see us!! And our house is on Fire!   

Chapter 3

I start to think about how to get out then I get it...we can push the door to move the rocks. I call Logan and tell him to push. We push and push until I hear a rock smash to the ground. The hinges come off the door and suddenly the door falls backwards. Rocks tumble inside,

‘It was lucky I didn’t walk forward,’ I think to myself. I run outside and wave my arms around and The helicopter sees me!

It lands and we get in. The nurse in the helicopter has a look at Logan’s leg, (because he says it hurts), it turns out it is broken.

The helicopter drops us off in Christchurch and we stay there for the rest of our lives.  

The end, by Logan and Archie.

BFG art

On Thursday we had Mrs Hughes.We had to get a piece of goose paper and draw a BFG. Then we had to  get a black piece of paper and draw it again then we glued it onto a piece of paper and we got an option of clouds or a city to show how big he was. It was fun   

My Speech

Lawrence Area School should not have a pet. It sounds like a great idea, all cuddly, cute and furry, but the reality is not like that at all. It would be chaos and let me tell you why.

Pets are hard work and they have very annoying habits that are not good for at school. If we had a school pet it would run away. For example a cat  might jump out the door and run away, or a dog might escape from the school gate and disappear.

A dog might also jump over the school fence and get hit by a car. This would not be a good ending for a school pet, that would be 140 sad kids.   A dog would also scavenge for food at morning tea and lunch. He would always be hanging around kids trying to eat their food out of their hands.

A pet might sound like a good idea right now, but who would take it home in the holidays or on the weekends and who would feed it? It takes a lot to look after a pet properly. We would have to be responsible for it at school and then someone would have to be responsible for it at home.

It would be hard to have turns looking after it, I mean how would we bring it back home, then back to school? We might go on a bus and pets aren't allowed them on a bus. Plus we have to think about the food. Your mum would have to buy the food for the cat or dog while it stayed with you and that might make them cross.

Then we have the sticky subject of pet mess. A cat or dog will poop and wee...let’s think about that for a minute. A school pet would poop and wee  everywhere, especially in the sand pit which looks like a massive litter box There is nothing worse than finding cat poo in your sand castle.

Dogs might poo on the grass, then a kid would stand in the poo and the bell would ring and the kid would walk through the classroom with a trail of poo. Have you ever smelt that before? DISGUSTING!!!!!  If we had a small pet it might just come in and poo right in the classroom!!!! GROSS

A school pet would be a big responsibility, and I don’t think we are ready for it. Pets take a lot of looking after, and not just from 9-3, or during the term. We would have to find a home for the pet outside of school house, we would have to constantly be watching out for poo and wee, and we would have to make sure it stayed in the school grounds. If we were busy doing these things all day we would be too distracted to get our work done. I don’t think Lawrence Area School should have a school pet.

Swimming Refletion

Hide and seek

Leaves are everywhere and dirt is all over me. ‘’Ow! I just got stabbed by a nail.

“Found you  Archie!” Shannon said. Saw dust is on me. I felt so nervous my heart was beating wildly. I could smell the fear of her finding me. I  could see spiders and people moving. I could hear people creeping around and people whispering as quietly as they could. Bugs were hanging from the roof.

Otago rugby Team visit

 On Thursday we had a visit from 5 Otago rugby players. They showed us some fun games to help our rugby skills.

 The best thing I liked was ball tag.
