Narrative Writing
Once there was a teenager her name was Emily she always walked by herself, and doesn't like having friends. Emily doesn't really like strangers, so she ignores them. Every night she has a weird feeling, so she goes to sleep anyway. Her mum has been noticing her acting strange. So she stays in her room for the night. The sun went down, and the silver moon came up. She looks at the moon and freezes for a moment, and then goes back to sleep.
12’o’clock at midnight she keeps on fidgeting at night. Then she opens her eyes she stares at the moon while she is talking she stands in a forest still staring at the moon werewolves come out, but she is a vampire she has teeth scaring the werewolves, but she scared them away. When it was sunrise she couldn’t remember anything she was just laying down in the forest looking at the blood on her hands and on the werewolves she killed.She felt like a murder, so she went back home at the back of her window for her door. Emily’s mum asked her “Why haven’t you came and ate breakfast yet. Have you been sneaking out of your room?”, Emily Replied “No Mother”, She had to lie because if she told her mum she would think she is crazy. So she hurried and got dressed for school.
After school she was so worried and tired. The sun came down and the moon came up. She was so worried so she covered her curtains and realized in the morning nothing happened to her. Emily didn’t wake up in a forest there wasn’t blood anywhere. She was in time for breakfast, and her mum was feeling better about how she has been acting. So she knew what to do every night so she wouldn’t have any problems ever again.

The Despicable Tornado (Narrative Writing)
The Despicable Tornado
Once there was a woman called Emily she was very polite and gentle that she lived in a wonderful place. The sun goes down, the wind whirls, and I just had the best BBQ with her. After that I had to walk back home.As I was walking back home the wind started to blow. It was sort of weird the wind kept on changing directions, and then the wind almost pulled me away, but I held on to a pole. When I was holding on I saw the wind far away it kept on blowing round and round in circles, and It was going whirling lower and lower down to earth. Later on it was still in the sea, so I still had time to warn Emily. After that I warned she thought I was speaking nonsense, so I ran out of the house.
Until it was still a sprout in the sea it came out of the sea it whirled up all the Sheep, Lambs, Horses and Cows. I was scared with fear That I was about to die, so I ran and ran my hardest, but when I saw Emily house I felt sorry so I had to just run. Suddenly I saw people running they were trying just to escape like me.
Finally as the tornado stopped people in air planes were reporting it news. Buildings were broken thousands of people were injured, so the ambulance came and transported the into a good hospital. People were gone safe and sound.

Athletics Day
Athletics Day
On Wednesday the 16 of October there was athletics day. Kids were dressed up in their house colours walking and cheering by representing their house colour. The 4 house colour names were Tripoli, Tobruk, Alamain and Benghazi. In the morning we were all listening out for our names to be called i the sprint races. It was as hot as fire when we were in the sun. Kids smiles came out like sunshine. Some kids came 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Some kids were nervous and some kids were ready. They sprinted off the fresh green grass. After the sprint races we got an early morning tea. Great big sunshine starts dancing around and predicting if the weather will stay great or not.
After that there was a horrible problem there was a fight over 2 kids, but Ms Kelly and 1 of the parents helped one of the boys and calmed both of the down. Anyway we got to have a rest and had a nice cool drink. There were finals for the metre races that were really long. Some kids sprinted and then jogged cause they use all of their energy on the start.
It was a great day for athletics and also a great weather. We all got took home to our and got have a rest and get some sleep.

Report About Meerkats
Report About Meerkats
Introduction
Our class went to the Auckland Zoo to choose a type of animal to write about. I was so excited to see different types of animals. The most interesting animal I saw was the Meerkats. When I was back at school, I researched a lot of information and I found some interesting facts about Meerkats.
Name and Description
The scientific name for a Meerkat is Suricates. They are mammals which means they have warm blood. Their colour is tan with brown stripes down their backs so they can effectively camouflage themselves in the desert.
Habitat and Diet
Their habitat is a hot place with less water and plants. From their head to their body, their length is 25 to 30 cm. They are omnivorous, which means they eat anything in the wild. Their enemies are eagles and other birds, as well as snakes and hyenas.
Birth
Meerkats are born from their mothers because the pregnancy period lays of the Meerkat is about 11 weeks. The litter size varies usually is between 2 - 6 pups. Did you know that Meerkats can live up to 10 years? Fathers and siblings help to raise the Meerkat, teaching them to play, forage and alerting them to the ever present danger from above.
Interesting Facts
A lot of families may live together in a large community, referred to as a ‘mob.’ They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the southern African plains where they live. Mothers can even nurse their child while standing.
Roles in their Group
A few will serve their ‘mob’ (group) as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. Meerkats are so fearful of predatory birds that even airplanes will send them diving for cover.
Conclusion
I have really enjoyed going to the zoo trip to see the Meerkats. My favourite website was the National Geographic Information. If you want to find out more about Meerkats, this website will help you.

Explanation About How To Build A Castle
How To Build Your Own Castle
This is my explanation about how to build your own castle
Step 1:
The first thing to do is to find a flat surface to build your castle.
Step 2:
Next you need to find out what type of brick to use either stone, cinder brick or brickwork.
After that get a piece of paper to plan your castle. Have a lot of detail on your draft.
Then start building your castle exactly how you planned it.
I wonder who invented castles?
