WALT ... Quick Write

A ferret jumped on the back of a woodpecker and said, "take me to Kumeroa Hopelands School, taxi." So that is what the woodpecker did. When they were there the woodpecker walked into the class and tapped on my arm and took me out of class and talked to me about what I'm doing in the week-end. (Tara)

"Aw I hit my head I think that's a taxi." The ferret put his thumb out but the woodpecker flew off . (ZAC)

by Jorja
At Spooky Island  an  airplane safely landed on the misty mysterious island. Shaggy and Scooby were planning this for years, so were the other members of the team. They all were excited. They were glad to be here, they couldn't wait. “I want to go on all the rides,” announced Shaggy to his team. “Yaya,” replied Scooby. “Hey stop there,” answered Fred.
On the last day they found that the old crew member called Scrappy-doo set up a trap for them at the top for the mountain at the Spooka blusa. Finally on the night of the Spooka blusa they got ready, Daffen wore a  red  and black dress  with a matching ring and head band, Fred wore a red rose and black midnight top and pants, so did Shaggy and Scooby. But  Valmer was going to wear a red and black dress. The whole team yelled ”it’s time to go to the Spooka blusa.” They drove in the Mystery Machine, when they arrived at the Spooka blusa, they danced through the night  until Shaggy and Scooby saw same light at the top of the mountain.  Then they remembered that they had a mystery to SOLVE.  They drove to the top of the mountain to fight the owner and his sidekick. They were VERY, VERY  strong and big. The sidekick had big black eyes, black hair and yellow teeth.  The car made some dust behind it as it  drove up the hill. They got out and kicked and punched the the owner and his sidekick. They had lost. Shaggy and Scooby’s team had defeated the other team and that was the end of them at Spooky Island.

Cinderella’s Revenge
by Josephine
In a deep sunny woods there lived two happy young ladies and their names were Cinderella and Cat woman, and they had wanted to go for a picnic at the local park the river.  They packed all types of food like fish and chips, sandwiches, biscuits and two cold drinks. Cinderella dressed up in a blue bright dress with blue boots, red lipstick and nice lovely pearls. She left her bright hair tied in a bun with her crown. Cat woman was a bit crazy with her dressing as well as Cinderella. Cat woman wore a dark purple jumpsuit with her bright brown hair left down.


In a complete silenced room Cat woman whispered in a evil voice, “you will be mine, you hear, mine.”
“Let’s go, chop chop “ Cinderella exclaimed.
When they arrived at the picnic spot Cat woman exclaimed, “Wow this park sure has got a beautiful view from here. Perhaps we should sit by the river?”
“Excellent choice” Cinderella added. Cinderella laid out the picnic blanket and got the food set up. The daisies and sunflowers smelt like they just had a sprinkle of perfume. The lovely air smelt fresh and the grass was green as usual. The river flowed beautifully down the waterfall and then it carried on snaking into the distance. The clouds joined all together and made a black patch of darkness. A storm was heading towards them and it wasn't going to be pretty. A strike of lightning hit their picnic basket and made a crackling, and banging noise. Suddenly the blanket burst into flames and they ran away to let the fire die down. They ran and ran, all of a sudden they slipped in mud. Plonk! Their clothes were filled with mud and they looked up as a castle was appearing in front of their eyes.
“I pegs first!” shrieked Cat woman.
“No I do!” Cinderella started to moan and then it turned into an argument.
“OK first one there.”Cat woman yelled   
“You're  on.” said Cinderella. They.They struggled from the gooey mud, clothes caked to their legs and  tried to get out. Eventually they did crawl their way out. they started running and they both  had a tie. they tried not to moan at each other but it didn't satisfy.
“ There’s was only one way to settle this and it was going to be getting killed by… Cat woman. “This is going to be like killing a kitten”  protested Cat woman.
“ Ready?” asked Cat woman, Cinderella replied,
“Ready than I’ll ever be.” Three, two, one Cinderella came out and Cat woman moved back by the window. Cinderella said
“ might not want to go there” and swung her last kick. Cinderella kicked her out of the window and Cat woman fell to the ground cracking her head wide open. In the living room Cinderella said “ look on the bright side I've still got a castle. Cinderella meet a Prince got married and lived happily ever after

The Hunter and the Boar

by George



Once upon a time there was a tall hunter who loved to wear camo gear, he always had his knife in his giant knife belt. He had to have a extra big belt because he was really fat and he also had to have an extra large rifle strap to carry his rifle on his back. When he went hunting he had to wear a camo beanie on his head because his afro hair didn’t fit under his camo cap.  


The hunter had a pet boar and they lived in a golden mansion, on the top of a very gigantic hill with trees everywhere but  on his driveway. All you could hear outside the mansion was birds chirping like music in your ears.


On a sunny day the big black hairy boar was using his snout and tusks to find food in the kitchen of the mansion.  


The hunter had also run out of food so he decided to shoot the boar and cook it on the BBQ but the boar knew the hunter was trying to shoot him so he kept moving from room to room which made the hunter feel angry.


The hunter decided to blow the mansion up so he got the dynamite from his shed behind the mansion and put bits of dynamite in different rooms and led the ignition cord far away from the mansion. He pushed down the lever on the box and it went KABOOM!


After he saw what happened to his house he realised that he still wouldn’t have any food because the boar will have blown up too. Then suddenly boar guts landed on the top of his head. He felt sick and disturbed about what he had done to the boar and took the guts off his head straight away.

He was so sad and hungry he went to his brothers house for tea and to stay with him until his mansion was rebuilt.

This is the good news “We are going to have a royal tea party and Cinderella, Hansel and  Gretel are coming so be on your best behavior.” As soon as the guests arrived the King swam up to greet them. Cinderella was already in her togs and was ready to go swimming. When they got down after their swim, Cinderella got changed into her dress, then the tea party began.

Next it was cake and everyone wanted the cake because everyone liked cake. The cake flavor was marble cake but they had a problem the cake was gone in one second. “Arrr’’ said the Queen who made it feeling surprised because it had been the biggest cake she had ever made, but it turned out to be the smallest.

Meanwhile the King was going for a nice walk to the shop. “No, not this one, nor this one, arr this one will do and it says here it is for free.” As soon as the King got home he made the tea and called everyone back to enjoy a cuppa.

The Prince and Princess could smell mince cooking, minted peas and mashed potatoes coming from behind the closed doors. The King and Queen opened the humongous high  gates and the Prince and Princess saw a long red and white table cloth lying on the long skinny wooden table as they galloped in. They also saw all the delicious food lying on the table ready to be scoffed. “Welcome to Pusbalt, take a seat”, They took a seat and waited for the delicious food to be served.


Meanwhile the Joker was walking through Surum and saw  a humongous castle and started to walk over.

What is Money?

The Year 3-8 students began a unit on Financial Literacy today.
As a 'hook in' we read Jack and the Beanstalk and discussed how the cow was traded for magic beans. Jack had agreed to this deal we know as bartering.

Ten groups of three were then distributed a selection of multi sized boxes and tubes. Only three groups were given tape, but they had less boxes. The challenge was to barter with other teams to acquire the materials required to build the tallest free standing tower.





The learning from this was that you don't get things for nothing, there is always an agreed exchange between parties to get what you need.
