SANTA’S SACK

Once upon an Aussie Christmas,

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

went on strike. He didn't want to travel all over the

globe because he was too tired and hungry. When

Santa wasn't looking, he crept quietly past him and

crawled into his Santa sack.

On Christmas Eve, Santa opened up his sack to check

that he had all of his presents. Rudolph leapt out

quickly and Santa laughed at him. Santa gave him

some reindeer food and Rudolph was so happy that

he went and got ready to pull the sleigh.

Story by KCH and Mrs Hanns

BARNEY and the GORILLA ENCLOSURE

….Barney and Bob were at the

zoo in front of the gorilla

enclosure. Barney put one

hand up. The gorilla did the

same.

“Hey look!” said Barney. “He copies me!”

Barney threw both arms up in the air. The gorilla

copied. Barney stuck out his tongue.

Suddenly, the gorilla leapt out of the enclosure and

threw Barney into a wall. A zookeeper rang the

ambulance. “Why did this happen?” Bob asked the

zookeeper. “Well,” said the zookeeper, “sticking your

tongue out to a gorilla is very rude.”

Later, when Barney got out of hospital, he went and

bought a hammer. He then took his baby brother’s

toy, squeaky hammer and the real hammer to the zoo.

Barney went to the gorilla enclosure and threw the

real hammer in. The gorilla picked it up.

Barry hit himself over the head with the toy

hammer. The gorilla paused, and then...stuck out its

tongue.

TALES of THE SUPER SUCKER

She went all the way through the

teleporter to the other side and

dropped onto a ball of fairy

floss……… She fainted and woke up

in a little gingerbread house with a

little old lady. She was heating up the stove and

singing something about eating, ME!!!.......

Excerpts from Bella Jachim

……”OK!: says Jimi. “Fire this baby up!”

Massy turns the ON button.

BROOM! BROOM!

“OK!” says Jimi. “Test time! Stick it on my shoe to

see if it is a real super-sucker.”

“OK!” says Massie. She picks up the super-sucker and

sticks it onto Jimi’s foot.

“Ahhhh!”…….

Excerpt from Olivia Manzin

…...I turn it on, and guess what

happens next? Well, it goes out of

control. It pulls me forward into the

kitchen. No wonder Mum said not to

turn it on. Its as strong as a boxer.

I sweep into the loungeroom and there’s the cat,

having a snooze. It jumps up and the super-sucker

starts to chase it…...

Excerpt by Hannah Dunmore

ZOO THREAT-NUMBER ONE

The Random Fairy Floss Guy: When I first became

a victim of his evil wrath I’d never been so afraid in

my life. You see, the Fairy Floss Guy is a deranged

man who holds a grudge against every zoo employee.

He had intentions to physically hurt me, so he rolled

his stand down a hill, and sent it rolling at what I

estimate was 1000km per hour. My only escape was

to leap into our turtle’s exhibit pond. This then

drenched my socks, leaving me to carry them around

all day.

BARNEY and the PANDA CAGE

It all started when Barney was

cleaning out the panda’s cage, shovelling out his, you

know what I’m talking about. Anyhow, Barney was

sneaking around the panda, when all of a sudden the

most lazy creature in the zoo, jumps up on his toes

and starts bouncing around like a rubber ball, and

holding his fists up at his cheeks, saying,”come on!

Come at me!”.

Barney was as confused as a Queenslander at the

North Pole….

An interesting beginning by Charlie Slattery

THE RUBBISH

I was putting the rubbish out for

mum and I heard a scruffling noise

in the bin. I didn’t have a clue what

it was.

I put the rubbish in the bin and ran back inside.

The next day I went to put more rubbish in the bin,

and the scruffling noise was still there. I had a

search through the bin, and then, something pulled

me in; something furry, something with sharp nails.

“Ahhh!” I screamed…..

Great beginning by Charlotte Strong

THE GENIE

The blue smoke puffed around me and then faded as

the genie disappeared. The scene I had just

witnessed was unbelievable, but I do have the proof-

the tickets that I am holding!

The genie had told me that I could wish for anything

I wanted, for a price. But he wouldn’t tell me what

the price was.

I had wished for the first thing that came into my

mind; concert tickets to my favourite band….

THE YETI

A yeti! In the bathtub! It’s the

middle of a drought, and there is a

yeti in the bath. I stand there

frozen.

The yeti turns around and makes a

weird, shrieking sound, and then it falls out of the

bath, and flops around on the ground for a bit. It

crawls away and hides under the sink…...

My favourite place is Fiji. I love Fiji because you get to go snorkelling, kids club

and you get to go to the beach. The

weather is mostly nice and sunny and

it’s not too hot there either. When you

go snorkelling there is a lot to see, like

the coral with lots of little fish

swimming through it. Sometimes you

might even see stingrays or little

sharks. At the beach you can build

sandcastles and go in the rock pools.

By Sophie Murray

favourite place because it has a lot of

live in Sydney

though-I like the

freedom of the

country.

If I could only eat one type of food for

the rest of my life I would eat

tomatoes. It is very nice and it is a

winner in every

household .

By Stephanie

Oakley

My favourite thing in the world is my horse Peppa.

By Bella Jachim

If I was an animal I would be a

tiger because they have shiny

there are puppies, kittens and baby unicorns everywhere….

The most

important thing

is to enjoy your

life and to be

happy because

that’s all that

matters.

School is what you WANT.

Family is what you really WANT.

-And a friend is what you NEED.
