Zayn and Oreo!

              

There was a boy called Zayn and he was only 15 years old. One bright and sunny Saturday, while he was  walking down town, he saw a group of teenage girls. There names were Niki, Trish and Bella. They were also 15 year olds like Zayn.

He thought of showing the girls how cool he was so he started dancing on the footpath to catch the girls’ attention. He was actually a great dancer. The girls watched him dance for a while then suddenly, Trish yelled, “Dog! Dog! Dog!”.  Zayn looked behind him and saw a dog angrily running towards him. He told the girls, “I know the dog, his name is Oreo and he is dangerous”. Oreo barked and ran fast as he could to Zayn and attacked him.  Zayn got very angry and tried to punch the dog but Oreo opened his mouth and showed Zayn his sharp teeth.

Zayn was scared to death but he did not show it to Oreo.  He pretended to punch him then ran his fastest but Oreo chased him down the road. Zayn remembered that he had lollipops in his pocket so he threw them to Oreo to distract him and to slow him down. Suddenly  Zayn spotted two policemen walking on the other side of the street. He yelled at them, “Help, Help! A mad dog is chasing me!”

Before the police could come and help him, Oreo caught up Zayn and attacked him again. Zayn saw a baseball bat on the side of the road, he grabbed it and hit Oreo on the leg. The dog stopped attacking Zayn and he looked like it was in a lot of pain. The policemen came to rescue the dog but arrested Zayn for hitting it on the leg. They said, “It’s cruelty to animals so we will arrest you and put you in jail”.

The Police Officers handcuffed Zayn and took him to the police car. Oreo looked and barked at Zayn in a sad and sorry face. Zayn looked at Oreo and said, “It’s ok, I forgive you”.

Have you played 2K16 before?

On Saturday the 9th of April my mum and I went to my cousins house.

Once we arrived we had to take off our shoes before we entered the house. Then I played 2k16 with my cousin. 2k16 is a wrestling game and it has all of the wrestlers even those who passed away already. The wrestler that I picked was Ultimate Warrior because I like his face painting. My cousin picked Undertaker because he likes his special move.

In the middle of the match my cousin did his special move and it is called the Tombstone. After he did it, the referee counted to three then the bell rang and my won!. After that my mum called me so we can go home. So I shook my cousin's hand and said "Good game." Finally we I went back home.

My favourite part of the day was shaking my cousins hand because he won fair and square.

Jack and the Snake!!!

On Saturday, Jack was walking to his Dad’s house after school. He wanted to take the short cut but he told himself, “No, because there’s a lot of men in black clothes.” He thought they were burglars so he took the long way through the forest.

While he was walking, he saw a long blue rope so he pulled it out. But to his surprise, it was actually a blue snake with blue eyes! “Aaaahhhh! He dropped it and ran away as fast as he could. The snake chased Jack through the forest. Unfortunately, the snake caught  Jack and bit his school bag off. Jack shouted

“Oh, no, that’s was my favourite school bag!”

Jack stopped and told the snake, “Please, stop! I'm trying to get to my dad’s house to spend time with him.” The snake said, “I am very sorry. I thought we were playing a game.” Jack said “How about walking with me to my dad’s?” and the snake said, “Yes, I would like that."  Jack and the snake walked together towards Jack’s dad’s house and spent happy time with him.

Jack and the snake became good friends instead of enemies. 
They played all day long!

Has a coach ever told you to go and play for a rugby club?

On Friday the 1st of April, my class went to play Rippa Rugby on the field. Our coach is called Hamish and he is a coach for the Marist Rugby Club.

When we were about to start the game, coach Hamish told us to put on the Velcro belts and two rippas on either side of our hips. After we put them on, we went into a marked boundary and played a game where we had to try and rip the rippas off our classmates.  After we spread out in the marked area, coach Hamish said, “You guys have to steal a person's rippas but only one.” After that, coach Hamish blew the whistle to start the game. We played several rounds.

After we played all the games, I felt really tired because I was running around a lot. When I took off my Velcro belt and the rippas, Coach Hamish asked me, “Do you play rugby?” I told him, “No” so he said to me,

“You should come and play for Marist.”

so I replied, “Yes.”

I had a great time playing Rippa Rugby and I think I will talk to my parents about joining the Marist Rugby Club.
