Week 6 - The Fire By Matthew

Superman should have shown up by now, an apartment building was blazing with fire coming out of every window and door and families were trapped inside screaming for help. Surely with his super hearing he would have heard the screams and the fire and be on his way now. Then out of sky he appeared, everyone cheered as he flew into the building then for 10 seconds no one came out of the building then BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! The Entire building collapsed and exploded knocking everyone to the ground. I woke up surrounded by the fire and spotted superman gazing into space. He hadn’t saved anyone he had failed then he flew away and was never seen again.

Week 6 - The swimming race by Sophia

I heard short spouts of cheering as I went under and above the water. I was on my final length of the breaststroke swimming race for New Zealand 14 - 16 years finals. I was coming first, I couldn't believe it! I got distracted by a girl bouncing a ball and as my head submerged under the icy waters for what felt like the fifteen millionth time, BUT the seal of my lips wasn’t tight enough! I began to choke as chlorinated water gushed down my throat! As I flailed frantically, I suddenly began to swallow more and more of the liquid. I made my way to the surface, I realised I was miles behind everyone else and that the race was over. I had come last.

Week 6 - The cricket Game by Luke

It was the semi-final of the cricket world cup….

I had been waiting in the rain for 1 hour.  The cricket players finally came out at 5pm.  The teams were NZL vs AUS.  They only had 20 overs each to play.  Australia batted first and posted 160-6 at the end of their 20 overs.  New Zealand came out and batted.  Martin Guptill went,  Kane Williamson went. And suddenly NZ were 120 - 7 with 2 overs left.  Luke Ronchi came out and smashed 5 sixes in 1 over, which put NZ 150 - 7.  Then with 4 balls to go Ronchi smashed a six. The next ball he got out.  Then Grant Elliott came out and with 1 ball left hit a six. We posted 162-7 which meant we won the semi !! Our fans went ballistic.

Week 6 - the race by Michaela

Sarah ran faster and faster feeling good as she pasted people towards the front of the race. Soon Sarah was in first place running hard with no signs of giving up. The worst thing in a race is tripping up in front of EVERYBODY, but that is exactly what happened to Sarah. She flew through the air and landed with a big thud. All the other participants raced past Sarah like nothing was there, but a girl stopped, helped Sarah up and walked her to the finish line. Everyone cheered for Sarah and the girl, and they each got a prize. :)

Week 6 - the Show by Lucy

I couldn’t wait until tonight, I’d been waiting for months to see my favourite band play in concert. It was all silent until the stage lights turned and the crowd began to scream. The screaming was echoing in my head and it was giving me a headache. I don’t know why everyone was screaming. Nobody was even on the stage. I couldn’t see over anybody’s head and I was standing on my tippy toes trying to see. I tried to make my way to the front, but I got pushed to the ground. Suddenly a person came out on stage and the music started to play. Four girls jumped up on stage and the security guard came and took them out of the building. After that the show was cancelled. I was so disappointed

Week 6 - The most intense minutes by Sam Ctr

The most intense three minutes of my life!  32-30 to them!

I hit so hard in the tackle that the ball ended up in my arms!

Ten seconds to go I was sprinting (like Usain Bolt), the posts were just in front of me! In my head I could hear people cheering, the opposition team sobbing, the Powerade bucket being kicked over.

Then….

It all went wrong. I was running closer to the sideline.  I looked over my shoulder it was the #15!! One of the fittest and fastest players in the team!  The hooter sounded and I was laying on the sideline.  

The World Cup slipped through my hands….

Week 6 - Asleep? by Zoe

As I hesitantly made my way towards the back of the bus I was caught unaware and without warning I was stampeded by a bustle of  frantic students.  By the time I found my bearings I realized that I was stuck sitting crammed right up against the window, in the middle of all the confusion.  All my energy had been drained and I felt as if I was paralyzed. Amongst the bustle of the cramped bus ride and shouting no one seemed to mind leaving me alone.  Most of them were so caught up in their mindless chatter that they didn’t even notice me sitting in silence. Not they would have cared anyway.

WEek 6 - Bugatti by Danny

It was the last lap I downshifted as I took the first corner and accelerated out of it. I was on another straight i changed back into seventh gear and floored the accelerator I went past 200 km then 300 speedometer was still climbing as I overtook the driver in first place with ease, I Then realised that the finish line was right in front of me.

We got in the car and raced down to the parade only to realize everyone had the same idea.

For the whole parade all we could do was listen as there was to many people to see.

Week 6 - The biggest thing in my life by Jasmine

I was standing on the stage. Everyone was clapping and cheering. It was all because I had decided to do the biggest thing in my life. Sing opera to millions of people, not to mention, the Queen, the most important person in the world. Well, that's my opinion anyway. For a 10 year old to get up and sing opera, that’s pretty good, don't you think? I have to go now. My eardrums are about to explode because of all the clapping. Even though it was all because of me, I think I would rather save my ear drums.

Week 6 - Make America hare again by Abby

My heart races as the whispers of the audience grow louder. Staring down at my legs, I clench my fists, I was tense; this countries LIFE was on the line. It all depended on people who were stupid, and who had common sense. I sank in my chair with fingers, toes, eyes, legs-

EVERYTHING was crossed.

Suddenly a man appeared on stage;

“We have the results.”

A formal man stood on stage with a envelope.

“The President of The United States of America is…”

The audience leaned forward impatiently.

“Donald-”

“Wait, nope.”

“HILLARY CLINTON!!”

The whole audience roared with cheers; some in tears.

Thank God for people with common sense.

As I poked the pond the water level started going down. I looked back the flamingo wasn’t there, I looked back at the pond and it was pink.

It was a boring Sunday, again and there was nothing to do but then. My sister wanted to go to the Zoo. Mum and Dad said yes even though I didn't want to go. We hoped in the car and of course my sister had got her dumb barbie song disc in.

We finally got there and my sister Holly was running around trying to touch all the animals until she caught. But then I saw an extraordinarily flamingo, his neck was longer than his legs but his head still stayed upright. But then I realized it was black until my sister poked it and it ran away. Well that was the end of that.

Week 5 - Crate by Zoe

Early morning brume blanketed the marina in a white veil.  Something drew my gaze towards a pile of decayed creates, as I edged closer I began to hear a faint  squawking  noise that seemed be coming from one of the crates.  I bent over and poked around underneath  the crates.  Suddenly I found myself staring at a decrepit flamingo drenched in septic black liquid, a single tear rolled down my cheek, no creature, not even a flamingo should be treated like that. People are capable of extraordinary things but have we forgotten what it is to be human?

Week 5 - the never ending wall by Sophia

I was wearing my favorite top. It had a pink flamingo wearing black sunglasses on it. I ran through the large forest only to find myself confronted with a gargantuan brick wall. It seemed to go on for miles every way. I couldn’t see the top, start or end. It was almost like it never ended. It was extraordinary. I noticed a small gelatinous creature pulsating rapidly to the right of me on the leafy terrain. I grabbed a stick and poked it making it ooze green pus. I used the same stick to flip it upside down and to my surprise, underneath, I saw a colossal mouth. As I gazed in wide eyed wonder the grizzly mouth opened wide and sucked me into the never ending void.

Week 5 - The five words by Sam Ctr

Thursday morning I was woken up by my annoying Mother. I ducked underneath my warm blankets. Suddenly I felt an amazingly sharp pain in my torso.  It felt like I was getting poked by a knife but it was my Mother’s long rotten fingernails.

I got up and began walking to school. I was thinking of a subject for an intelligent speech to help me win the competition.  I walked by my favourite spot with extraordinary flamingos  but this time it was different. This time it had a gooey, thick, black oil all over the grass and the flamingos.

That's when I knew the subject for my speech… Pollution.

Week 5 - The tropical island by Scarlett

I closed my eyes to see pitch black, then I slowly floated down to find my head resting on my feather pillow. I finally drifted to sleep. I felt like I was on a tropical island with a pink flamingo. I walked to find myself underneath  an extraordinarily big palm tree. I slowly reached out to the crisp blue water and touched it. Then In the speed of light everything disappeared into thin air. Then I felt I was floating in a galaxy full of stars. Then started falling like a rock sinking fastly in a pool of water. I hit the ground. And with a fright I woke up.

Week 5 - The Roadie by Lucy

My sister was sitting beside me in the car. I was trying to ignore her, but she kept on poking me while saying my name a hundred times. I turned around and she poked me in the face. I said “what” and all she said was “hi”. She is the main reason why I hate road trips. After that the poking stopped. But then she started to throw her stuffed flamingo at me. I remember when we got the car, it was all shiny and new, with the black leather seats. But now it looks like a dog’s breakfast. We haven’t even got a dog,but I really want one. But my sisters allergic to them. She likes to take my things, for example I got out of the car and she hid my tablet. But I found it, it was underneath the seats. She finds new ways extraordinary everyday to get me in trouble. Like when she gets a cut on her leg she’ll said that I did it, by pushing her down the stairs. Just so i’d get the blame for it. Mum and Dad always believe her and never believe me.

I don’t know if it was from nerves or the cold but either way I couldn’t stop. “Elaine Haines?” I jumped up and speed walked into the principal's office not wanting to be here much longer. “What’s that underneath your sweater” he said as he poked the lump on my chest. “Oh that, it's just a badge my mum used to wear, I hope its alright to wear at school.” It was hard to speak without breaking down into loud sobs but I held it together. “Do you mind if I see it?” I took my sweater off to reveal my badge. It had a drawing of a flamingo on it as well as the word beautiful written in black paint. My mum used to make badges they were extraordinary I miss her.

Week 5 The little brown box by Charlotte

As I skipped along the crooked path on my way home from school I noticed a little brown box on the side of the path. I don’t know why I took any interest in it but I did. I approached it curious of what what was inside. I lifted the cardboard flaps to find that underneath was a small flamingo that was as black as a night mist. It was extraordinary to see its miniature head poke out. As it stood up it got bigger but not to big. It ran into the bushes and when I got home i told my mum about it but she just told me that we don't have flamingos where we live. Yeah right!
