media type="custom" key="23316728" There was a town called Saydes, Where everyone drove Mercedes, They were red and blue, And the colour of you, Although most of the drivers are Ladies!

There was a young man from Brazil, Who swallowed a dynamite pill, The very next day, His arms ran away, And his ears flew over the hill.

There was an old pirate named Joe, Who liked the sea when it was low, Of course I can see, That we sail for free, And maybe that's why it is so.

There was a young man from Brazil, Who swallowed a dynamite pill, Suddently there was a bang, It was as sharp as a fang, And his ears flew over the hill.

There was an old pirate named Pip, Who always wore a dull red hair clip, One day she came late, And they took her plate, Then she ended up biting her lip.

Once there was a girl called Daisy, Who everyone called more than crazy, Then she decided to play, But her friends ran away, So she ended up being called Miss Lazy.

All Around the World Whoosh!!! I opened my Joy Cowely book to page 18 and Abbie turned on her iPod. Abbie and I were traveling around the world after we won the lotto. You are probably wondering how Abbie and I could afford it, well here is the story; It was a sunny Saturday morning, Abbie invited me to her bach in Wahi, and as a joke we bought a lotto ticket, the next day we had 1 zillion dollars in our suitcases. We were so surprised we had no idea what to do. We then decided with all this money it’s a dream come true, so let’s make our dream come true – Traveling the World!!!

While I flicked to page 20 Abbie bought up the fact of were to go first. Because we bought a private jet along the way, we could decide everything like how Selena Gomez was our airhostess! “Um, how about we visit Olivia in Fiji, it’s the closest!” That’s a brilliant idea!” I said. “Fiji here we come!” we said at the same time.

While our private jet zoomed on the runway, we were still trying to work out where to go next. The last person I remember talking to was Kirra and how much she loved Ireland. “Ireland!” I shouted suddenly. Selena ran in “your pie land pie, Sofia” “What no not now Se- Oh, that looks nice, thanks!” I said grabbing the pie. “What?” Abbie asked. “What you want a piece?” I mumbled with my mouth stuffed with pie. “No, um, Ireland, that is not too bad actually…” BOOM!!! The jet landed uncomfortably. “Good, I’ll go grab the pilot to get us some tickets and tell him to meet us in Ireland” Abbie suggested. “Cool” I answered. I picked up my iPod and played a game of temple run. Abbie rushed in “Quick we need to leave now to get the tickets!” Abbie shouted grabbing her carry on. “Ok, Ok” I unplugged my iPod, put it in a zip- lock bag and got my neon pink American Traveller suitcase. While we rushed into the airport I spotted an American pilot coming my way, why was he coming towards me? When I finished talking he began pulling me over to a gate, “What? What are you doing?” I yelled as he pulled me away. “I’ll meet you in Ireland!” I called to Abbie’s worried face. I knew I looked scared. Once I was on his plane, I felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep…

When I awoke and walked out of the plane I looked around for Abbie. No sign. I asked at the desk, she had never been seen. I panicked and walked to the landing area to find our private jet. No sign. When I turned around I saw in big 3D letters ‘CALIFORNIA AIRPORT’ I began crying when Piper skidded by in her bright red Audi. I then felt a huge weight of my shoulders. “What are you doing here?” Asked Piper. “A silly pilot, miss understanding, thank you.” I panted. “No worries, it’s all part of the plan.” Piper said. “What plan?!” I asked scared. “Um, ah, how about you come to Disneyland with me?” Piper asked nervously. A part of me told me ‘ABBIE’ and another part said enjoy it, I hopped in the car.

After our trip to Disneyland I told Piper, “Abbie is waiting for me in Ireland, I have to go” I said pulling my suitcase from her car. “Ok, but how can you be sure she’s there?” Piper said. “What do you mean by all of this?!” I asked Piper. “I mean, she did a fake laugh, um, ahh, have a good trip” I knew she faked it all. Then she skidded off in her Audi leaving me in a patch of dust. I was in the middle of the Disneyland car park, and was really regretting getting out of the car. I pulled my suitcase through the stones and then it hit me. “Piper acting strange, American pilot that seemed so, so, so unprofessional, it all made sense now! Piper faked it all because Abbie and her were worst enemies. I pulled out my iPhone 10 and called Abbie, no answer. I sat on my suitcase and called again. I had no more friends left in America, I was stranded!!! As I called Abbie again and again, I saw a very familiar figure, but what was it? Then like a light bulb the answer hit me it was the pilot! For some reason he was wearing a frog costume. I ran over to him, pulling my suitcase from behind me. “What are you doing!?” I heard myself yell at him. He jumped, those moonboots really made him jump high, and once he hit land I saw him push his frog head onto himself. I pulled it off and threw it far away. “Fine, you caught me, I’m not a pilot.” He told me. “Then who are you!” I yelled at him. “I’m Diana's brother” “Diana?” I heard myself ask. Then I remembered she was from my kindy. I felt puzzled, as if I had just finished a maze in 10 seconds. It made absolutely no sense, until I remembered. Diana had been acting strange with me, as if I had stolen something from her. But how come Piper was acting strange? The pilot, Diana’s brother, offered to help get me to Ireland and tell me everything on the way to the airport. It turns out that Diana had paid him, Piper and the plane owners to get this whole set up thing over with. He also told me to get to Ireland fast because Diana is planning to tie Abbie up and make it harder for me to find her. I thanked him, ran into the airport and bought tickets for the next flight to Ireland. I sat on my suitcase for the hundredth time and picked my ticket. Then, all of a sudden Selena ran in and told me to go to the private jet with her. I was so confused; the private jet should be with Abbie in Ireland, not with me in America. I ran to it like Selena told me to, yet again pulling my suitcase along with me. Abbie told the private jet to come and pick me up because Diana was trying to capture her. But what Selena said made no sense because we’re is Abbie? Once I made it to the private jet what Selena said made sense. Abbie was there and we were heading to Ireland to meet Kirra and finish our trip over the world. By Sofia

Pak’n’Labels

“So…” I said to Olivia while I hung up my bag. “So…” She carried on. “Pak’n’Save today” I reminded her. It was a Friday, Friday 15 of March to be exact. The trip was at 11:30 though so we had a long wait ahead. We walked into the class to find Room 6 students buzzing around, the words “Pak’n’Save trip” was probably the most heard. Once 11:30 hit, Naomi from Food for Thought, came in and told us what we were doing. “OK, Room 6, we are going to walk to Pak’n’Save in groups and once we arrive I’ll tell you more.” The reason we were going to Pak’n’Save was not for a school trip, it was actually to learn how to read food labels.

On our way to Pak’n’Save, people were looking at us like we were going to die and had to let everything we were saying out at that very moment. Once we made it to Pak’n’Save we realised that Naomi was standing at the front of the building. “Maybe she drove” I whispered to Livy. “But that would be unhealthy.” “OK, Room 6, everyone take a worksheet then pass it on. Group 2, you start with bread.” I was in Group 2. Mrs Sokimi took us to the bread. Although it felt like a half hour walk to our isle, it was still like heaven when we saw all the bread on the shelves. Olivia and I raced to the Vogel bread; we flipped it over and found it had way too much energy. If you have more than 1,100kj of energy it’s bad for you because it turns into fat. After a look at almost all the bread you would expect to be healthy, we found that Freya’s Quinoa and Flaxseed bread was the best and that Pak’n’Save’s hot cross buns was a sometimes. Next were the Muesli bars. We found that Pams Super fruit muesli bars had way too much sugar, besides the fruit. If you have less than 10g it is good for us and if you have more it is bad. The super fruit nut bar had 21.0g so it’s a sometimes. For my healthy I chose Quaker apricot nut bar because it had the least sugar, 13.4g, so it was OK.

For snack foods, Corn Thins multi grain is a good everyday snack and Shapes’ pizza flavour is a sometimes snack food, because it had too much fat.

Then it was milk and dairy products. Milk and dairy was the easiest to find a bad one because there were chocolate compotes, chocolate milk and pineapple lumps milk. Anchor Blue is the healthiest milk because everything is where it should be. Cyclops organic compote is actually one of the unhealthiest dairy products because it had too much fat.

Then we moved onto the cereals, our last one. Cereal was probably the hardest as it had too much sugar or fat. In the end My Special K forest berries was the healthiest cereal. Nestle Nesquik, well, not so much, as it had too much fat and sugar.

After we finished all of the subjects we had to go back to the fruit and veggies to put the colours of the fruit into the right order. We had to find red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple fruits. As soon as we walked in we saw the things you would expect to see like apples, oranges and pears so we wrote them down automatically. Then we had to start looking at the labels and write down stuff like Peru pears. Suddenly Mrs Sokimi began calling us to head to the front of Pak’n’Save. Once we reached the front of the building, we saw Naomi there before us, once again. “Thank you Room 6 for letting me teach you about healthy eating. As a reward for your classroom, you get a $60 Pak’n’Save voucher.” Naomi said. “Yay!” Everyone said with smiles growing over their faces.

The end result was a fantastic day. We learnt how to help our health in our futures. We also found out some unbelievable things, like how much sugar is in one muesli bar.

The Dark and Stormy Night

It was a dark and stormy night; clouds covered the sun that was shining so bright. Suddenly the room turned pitch black, I then felt a sack. But who, oh…

When I awoke I was finding it hard to breathe. I tried to stretch when I realised I was still in the sack. I tried to get out but couldn’t. I lied down and got prepared for a long night. Then I felt something pinching my back. I lay up and felt the floor; they were scissors! I poked a huge hole in the side of the sack. I poked my hand out and felt something pinch me. I pulled my hand back in as if I had just got stung by a bee. Maybe the sack was balancing on a bed of nails, maybe it was in the middle of nowhere in a patch of thrones, maybe – I stopped myself thinking bad thoughts was not helping. I kicked the outside of the sack to see if it was a plant. I then heard barking and then a soft “meow.” I pulled myself up from a somewhat comfy surface. “Hmm maybe not a bed of nails, or thorns, or –” I stopped myself again. I shut my eyes tight and then opened them very slowly. The scene, I was actually lying on my bed, it was Actually my cat, Harry, on my bed and the barking was actually my neighbour’s dog, oh yeah and the pinch was actually Harrybiting me. “Oh Harry, you really got me.”
