The Magic Hen

Far away from the city there was a funny farm called Charm. There lived a pig who was fat. He wore a funny hat. There was a horse who liked to jump and bump. I call him Mr. Pump. There was a hen who does magic with sneeze. I call her Miss Breeze. Every time she sneezes, her egg disappears. Miss Breeze was eating dinner, a fly buzzed on her nose. ‘Aatishoo!’ she sneezed. Her food disappeared! She chuckled. One day a scary wolf came on the farm. He saw a coop from the nook. He sneaked and scared the hen. The hen jumped on the bed. Wolf’s eyes were red. He growled, ‘I will eat chicken with bread.’ The pig, the horse and the fly saw the wolf. The fly has an idea and she buzzed the hen’s nose. ‘Aatishoo!’ she sneezed and the wolf disappeared. All the animals were amused with surprise. They said the fly is so wise. Miss Breeze smiled and said it’s a very lucky day. Everybody did a happy, funny dance on the farm called Charm.

Intergalactic Boy

Once upon a time, there was a boy called Ryan. Ryan was a year one student in LA. He really liked space and superheroes. One day Ryan was in the school science lab. When the scientist was doing an experiment, the chemicals were spilt on him! A few minutes later Ryan got up. At lunchtime his best friends Amelia and Sienna played superheroes with Ryan. When Ryan pretended to shoot a laser from his hand, it shot a real one! Amelia and Sienna were very surprised. Ryan told them not to tell anyone so they didn’t. A few weeks later, Ryan, because he was a genius, he decided he was going to make a rocket. The reason why Ryan made a rocket was to go into space as a space astronaut. When it was time to load the space astronauts, Ryan was very excited. A few hours later, the rocket landed on the moon. Ryan said to the other astronauts he would go first and they thought that was fine. But as soon as Ryan touched the moon he didn’t feel himself. He felt strong and powerful not weak and powerless. After a while, Ryan said ‘I want to go back to Earth’, so the astronauts said ‘okay’ and ‘it’ll take three days to get back’. Ryan didn’t want it to be three days but something bad happened. Ryan’s space helmet fell off but for some reason it didn’t affect him! Ryan knew why it didn’t affect him, because of his super powers from the chemical reaction earlier that week. When he got back to Earth he made a costume and hero name. His hero name was Intergalactic Boy and on his costume there was a crime detector. He tried his costume on and the crime detector beeped. There was a crime happening at the playground in Rowley Road. Then Intergalactic Boy saw the super villain – his name was Tornado.
‘Ready for me to take over the world?’
‘No way, you’re not going to take over the world, and I am not a stranger in a costume, I’m Intergalactic Boy!’
They both had a big fight. Finally Ryan could rest.

The End.

Diary of a Minecraft Pro

The Lost Temple! Boom! Boom! Boom! Steve was just pranking MeDaNoob with TNT. MeDaNoob was not impressed and ran away. When Steve finally finished, he decided to find the Lost Temple. Steve searched and searched but couldn’t find anything! At last he got a glimpse of rock and followed it. Soon enough, Steve had found the Lost Temple. He explored it straight away. It had lava, monsters, chests and everything! But the problem was that it had lots of parkour! So it was like a huge obstacle course with crazy jumps, powerful pistons, boiling red steaming lava and mind-boggling mazes, and bulging buttons where if you pressed the wrong one, you got blown up with a Creeper!
But Steve was no chicken….he was brave and cunning! He knew just what to do. First he had to jump onto the cobblestones and he dodged the powerful pistons and he made it to the first mind-boggling maze…because there was not one but three of these mazes – far out! Steve used the compass from his inventory to guide his way through – he bolted through in 2 minutes flat! ‘Hey, a new world record! That’s pretty awesome!’
After a few more obstacles, he got to the last obstacle. He had to jump up cobblestones two at a time in the air, if he missed, he’d fall in lava! Steve was at the 17th cobblestone and he almost falls…but someone grabs his hand just…in…time! It’s Alex! Alex is a long-lost friend from the Mines.
‘Geez man! Where have you been?’
Alex replies, ‘I have been stuck in the Mines for 5 years!’, sounding relieved to be out of the Mines.
‘Well, I’m glad you turned up when you did, otherwise I’d be lavasoup by now!’
After Steve got out of the Lost Temple, they decided to go under the sea.
Close Encounter with a Toothy Beast
Just when Steve and Alex got to the water’s edge, they saw a pod of dolphins circling something big and grey. They decided to investigate! As they swam closer, the big grey object became clearer. It was a Mako Shark! Alex turned to Steve, his face was as white as snow and he looked like he was going to poop his pants!
‘Come on Alex, don’t be a scaredy cat – stay close to me and you’ll be safe,’ whispered Steve. Steve was scared too but he didn’t tell Alex that. Just then, the shark whacks the dolphins away with its mighty tail and heads towards…Steve and Alex. Uh oh! Steve quickly searches his inventory for his underwater scooter. Steve yells to Alex, ‘Quick! Grab on! Let’s get outta here!’
Steve and Alex were speeding through the water and away from the massive fish they went. Suddenly, ‘putt putt putt’ – the engine clogs up with kelp from the seabed. The shark is getting closer…and CLOSER. Steve and Alex looked to each other. ‘This is not good,’ says Steve. They see the colossal amount of teeth as the shark opens his jaws…TO BE CONTINUED.

Bravery is when you are not scared of anyone or anything. Bravery can make you face your fears and do it. Bravery can help you at any time or anywhere. Bravery can build up your confidence. My brother Rory Laird plays for AFL. I think he has a lot of bravery for just going out there in front of a massive crowd. When he finished a game “Good game!”.

Also bravery can help you express your feelings to people. Bravery can help you with everything. Bravery lets you be free and do what you want to do, not letting other people tell you all the time. Bravery can help you with your courage with writing, sports and other things you do. Bravery helps me with all my work at school. It helps everyone with these things. You can do a lot of things with Bravery.
Bravery is a feeling inside of you. Bravery is mostly in your heart and in your brain. Everyone has bravery inside of them. It is in your heart inside of you somewhere and it might take some courage to find it. You will always have it. You can have it with you all of the time because everyone will know you are brave. Everyone will have bravery in the brain. These are ways to be brave:
1. Always do what you want safely!
2. Face your fears!
3. Do not let other people get in your way!
You do what you want and this is important do not let other people get in your way. Let yourself express your heart and feelings. Here is a little story about a boy being brave!!
One Sunday morning a little boy went to the beach. He had an older sister and she loved going on the jetty at the beach. The little boy was too scared to go onto the jetty. His older sister teased him and said, “you are scared na, na, na, na, na”. He said, “I am going on it”. So he did. He walked up the wooden stairs. He said to himself, “be brave, be brave”. So he did it and he took a big breath and he jumped off of the jetty and into the sea. He loved it and yelled “I love this!” He did it again and again and again. He came home and said to his Dad “I jumped off the jetty”. “Well done,” said his Dad. And then he proudly thought about the fun he had on the jetty.
This is the reason I chose this the word Bravery. Remember do not let other people say “you can’t do that, that is impossible or you can never do that”. Do not listen to them. You do what you want anytime or anywhere. Do not think about the negatives, think about the positives then you will be a superhero and you will be a nice person and you will have more friends. You will have a happy life with happy friends.

It was 8:00 in the morning and Jeffrey the psycho was plotting world domination or something that would ruin everybody else’s lives. Jeffrey had been miserable lately, since his last evil plan had been foiled by his arch-nemesis, Zook!

Zook has been chilling in his five-star hotel, eating Tim the pickle in his free movie theatre. While Jeffrey has been numbing his brain tinkering in his workshop to develop a new weapon – a sub-atomic nuclear bomb that he plans to launch into the Pacific Ocean, exploding and creating a huge tsunami that will pretty much wreak havoc on everything and drown everything in sight. Pretty much, he had a foolproof plan that couldn’t be stopped by anything, not even Zook. Two months later, Jeffrey’s plan had been foiled yet again, and now he was getting seriously depressed. His evil butler, Partyface, tried everything to get him out of his slump. He even resorted to Wednesday night Zumba classes, which Jeffrey never went to. Eventually he went to Zumba…and actually liked it! In fact, he loved it so much he even got out of his slump and stopped being a villain!

Crunch, crunch went the dead leaves under my broken gumboots in the spooky forest. The sun was beginning to set over the mountains. I was all alone and missing out on school, stuck in his deserted, old, creepy forest. I was getting tired and I had been separated from my dad for a long time. I was heading towards where I often played. Pitter patter, pitter patter, there was the rain. It landed on my cap and dripped down my backpack. I ran for comforting shelter. Reaching the front porch of the house, I turned and looked at the rain falling fast. The house was as scary as a clown screaming. Whoosh. The old creaky door blew open. I spun around and stumbled through the door, crashing into the mantel, which was cluttered with old family photos that Dad and I had put together. Smash! I jumped. ‘Hello, who’s there?’ my voice quivered. But it was just a photo that had fallen from the mantel. As I walked down the narrow hall, the timber groaned under my feet. I could hear ‘Tay, Taay, Taaay, Taaaay, Taaaaay’ echoing down the halls. ‘Is this place haunted?’ I wondered out loud. As I wandered further down the hall, someone suddenly emerged from the room. ‘EEEEK,’ I screamed.
‘It’s okaaaay,’ replied the ghost, ‘I’m Taaaay.’
‘Why are you here?’ I stammered.
‘Weeeell I was having a picnic with my parents,’ Tay began to cry, ‘then the deadly ghost came. He took me awaaaay.’ Tay stopped, unable to continue. I was in shock.
‘I think I should be heading home,’ I said.
‘Nooooooooo,’ screamed Tay. Tay’s scream was as loud as ten lions roaring!
‘What’s wrong?’ I questioned.
‘You can’t leeeeeave,’ Tay’s voice softened. There was a moment of silence, it was as quiet as the middle of the night. Then it dawned on me.
‘I got it,’ I said loudly. The whole room suddenly filled with life. ‘Why don’t you come home with me?’ I questioned.
Tay was gobsmacked with the generous offer. ‘Are you for reeeeeal? ‘Cause if you are, yes pleeeease,’ replied Tay.
Scratch, scratch, scratch went the trees against our arms, as we rushed through the forest. We stopped dead in our tracks – which way were we to go? All of a sudden, we saw a shadow. We hid quickly behind an old tree, holding our breath but the person saw us hiding. I squeezed my eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them. Then I heard a familiar voice – it was my dad. As soon as he saw Tay with me, he burst into tears.
‘Taylor, is that really you?’ said my dad, slowly pulling out a picture identical to the one that had fallen from the mantel.
‘Yeeees’ replied Taylor, ‘I miiiiiissed you, can I come hoooome with you?’ Taylor asked.
‘Of course,’ her brother, my dad, sobbed. We knew that family would always be near.

I could hear the snores from my little sister Cassiel. I got up from my bed and walked over to where she was sleeping so peacefully. I tucked her short, red hair behind her ears and kissed her on the forehead. I was the only family she had left. Our mum and dad died in a fire that burned our whole village to the ground. The worst part about this is the fact that our King Raven didn’t care that the outlying villages were living in poverty and were so close to death’s cold grasp. He only cared about his vaults that were filled with gold. When our parents died, Cassiel was only three years old while I was eleven. I had to be the adult. I couldn’t let the organization take us, because they were abusive, so I decided to hide us both in a cave near the Valley. We have everything we ever needed there. I got ready and I went out into the cold morning fog and climbed over the boulder and into the Meg. I retrieved my long silver dagger. I knew where I was going to go. Before my mother died she told me that the blue lake will be the place all my secrets will be unravelled and that I must go there. I decided it was time to go into the lake.

I hiked along the river, occasionally stopping to admire the nature. I bent down and touched the ice-cold water and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I saw my reflection. I didn’t recognise that girl anymore. She had short, black hair, sharp, angular cheekbones and eyes so blue they could electrify you from miles away. Her blue crystal necklace made her look so distant. This isn’t anything like the chubby girl with the wide, curious eyes. I was different.

I finally reached the blue lake. I edged closer towards it. I gasped. Underneath the lake were hundreds of tiny blue crystals, the same type of crystal that was around my neck. Without thinking, I dived in. It was almost magical. All the colours swirled around me. Suddenly, my pendant glowed and a familiar voice boomed out from all directions. It wasn’t any voice. It was my mother’s.
‘Valkyrie, you have magic in your blood. We started living in the outlying villages, so the king wouldn’t find out about you. I’m still alive and safe, so don’t worry about me. I’m so sorry I left you and Cassiel alone. Please forgive me. You are a warlock. A powerful being who can harness magic safely. I have to go now. I’ll see you soon.’ Then it was darkness.
I swam to the shore and heaved myself onto the side. It took me a minute to get my head right. There were three things I was positive about: first, my mum was alive, second, she was safe, and third, I was a warlock.

The End.
