Room 3 Stories - "The Adventures of Teddy and Stitch"

We are learning to write stories with characters, a setting, a problem, a solution and a feeling.

Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a castle with Stitch and Teddy.  It was  a rainy night.  The witch stole the princess and boiled the potion up and the princess drank it. The next minute, the princess was a frog, but Teddy grabbed the wand that was filled with poison and passed the wand to Stitch.  Stitch cast a spell on the witch and she turned in to a frog and they put her in a pot. Then they found the big book of spells and cast the princess back to herself. The princess said, "Thank you."  Teddy thought the princess was nice.  The princess was happy. The End.  By Jaime

Once upon a time in the morning, at home, when it had just stopped snowing, Teddy and Stitch went out of the house to play in the snow.  Then! Captain Hook came along and scared Teddy. Stitch got worried about Teddy, he didn't want his brother to die. So he kicked and punched Hook until, "Dun, dun, dun, dun!", Hook fell down a deep ditch and was never to be seen again.  Stitch thought Teddy was very proud of him and Stitch was proud of himself too.  Then they lived happily ever after.  The End.   By Charli

Once upon a time Stitch and Teddy went walking on the moon and they came across a zombie.  They threw a boomerang at the zombie and then they went to their rocket and flew home to Planet Stitch and Teddy. They felt happy because they defeated the zombie.  The End.    By Luke

Once upon a time on a snowy day Stitch and Teddy found a witch's house.  The mean witch was out shopping for some food to cook for tea.  Teddy and Stitch went inside.  But the witch came home.  Stitch hid behind the couch but Teddy couldn't find anywhere to hide. Then the witch caught Teddy in a net, magic-upped some handcuffs and put him in a cage.  So Stitch kicked the witch and she fell in to the fire and died.  The End.   By Ashton

Once upon a time there were two teddies who lived in a mansion.  Their names were Teddy and Stitch.  They loved their mansion.  Then it was night time and they went to bed.  Then is was morning and they had toast.  Just when they were finished their toast, a robber came in and stole their money and gold. Then Teddy caught him and cooked him for tea. 

The End.    By William

Once upon a time on a snowy night at my house I woke up and Teddy the Cat and Stitch the Bird were on my bed.  They were dancing but they fell off my bed.  I picked them up and put them in a safe place.  Then it was morning and I took them to school.  I felt amazing.  The End.   By Holly

Once upon a time Stitch and Teddy were on a cliff on a windy morning.  They were dancing and then an old lady pushed Stitch off, but Teddy saved him. Teddy and Stitch are awesome.  The End.   By Riley L

Once upon a time on a cold night Stitch and Teddy found a dark castle. A dragon lived in the dark castle.  Stitch and Teddy had a pet pig and a pet sheep.  They opened the door and went in to the castle.  The dragon hid behind the steps.  Then Stitch and Teddy went up the steps and the dragon followed them.  Stitch and Teddy heard a noise and zipped up the rest of the steps.  The dragon zipped up the steps too.  Teddy told Stitch to go in to the bedroom with the pets.   Teddy saved everyone and the dragon died.  Teddy and Stitch were happy.  The End.   By Shyla

Once upon a time Stitch and Teddy Bear were in the mountains.  It was hailing.  They were cold.  Stitch said, "Don't look behind!"  But Bear did look behind.   "Ahhhhhhhh", Bear screamed.  Stitch and Bear ran.  Stitch said, "I'll get him" and he scratched the zombie and the zombie died.  Stitch said, "Maybe I am super".  They felt happy.  The End.    By Rory

Once upon a time on a sunny Spring morning Teddy wanted some honey.  He got up and saw a bee hive and decided to get it.  But he got stuck in it.  What a clumsy bear.  Then Stitch came along and helped him out.  But the bees came out as well.  Run, run, run.  Teddy felt sticky.  Stitch thought he should not stop running. Eventually they lost the bees.  The End.   By Izobella

Once upon a time there were two little creatures called Stitch and Teddy.  They were in the forest at night and it was raining.  They were trying to find shelter.   Then a monster came and kicked them away.  Apple Man killed the monster.  That night Apple Man built Stitch and Teddy a shelter.  The End.   By Ethan

 

  

         

Puppet Pets

As part of 'Getting to Know Each Other', we made pet sock puppets.  The question: If you could be any pet in the world, what would you be?  We designed our puppets and then made them using lots of cool stuff.  Check us out!

Undie Art

Crew 3 read a story about a frog who lost his undies.  All the other frogs were fighting over them so the jungle animals decided to make all the frogs some undies.  If you could have any undies in the world to show off your personality, what would they be like?

We think our undies are the best!

Our Poetry Poems

We have been writing some poetry and got our ideas from a poem we read by Bev Wood in a School Journal.

Poetry

Poetry is words that run across the page

Like scaly snails and slimy snakes

Lots of words go crazy when the poetry book is shut

Then freeze when the book is open.

By Casey

 

Poetry

Words that march

Words that sing

Some are crazy and some are fun

Some are good to read for a goodnight nap

Funny

Crazy

Marching left – right – left - right.

By Izobella

Poetry is words

Poetry is fun

Poetry slithers across the page

Like a rip-current

Poetry is fun!

Poetry

Poetry is words from the heart

Lots of thought and care

You must look at books to get your ideas

You must try to catch them if you can.

More Heavy Metal - Personification Writing

Her jagged teeth are reaching to pick up rocks.  Her cumbersome toes are working like a rocket, zooming around the hockey field. Her body is dancing around the place,  digging and scratching, banging everywhere! You can hear her at the door whining to get in.
 
Casey

His sturdy body crushed, munched, and destroyed piles of rocks and turned them into dust. The dirt came out from the long dirty arm. The feet were two feet long and baby blue. The feet are so prickly they look like a hedgehog. His body looks like a rectangle with robot writing.
 
Luke


His arm pounded the rock with his big strong rusty hand. His massive feet moved through the strong mud. His sturdy arm smashes the boulders, bricks, and stone. His stomach is hot. His sharp fingers dig up stone and dirt. The trees get destroyed from his steel fist. His eyesight is as good as an eagle.
 
Ollie
 

His sharp claw smashed in the earth.  
His metal arm scraped the concrete.  
His jagged teeth picked up rocks.  
His massive arm pulled the tree away from the ground
 
Aaron


His sharp teeth crushed the ground. 
He lifted the rocks with his claws, like hands. 
He had scratches on his teeth. 
He is a mean destroyer. 
His powerful arms were dirty.
By Rory

His arms were smashing the heavy boulders. His legs were crashing  and stomping over stones. His chest is chomping and pounding the earth. His feet were snapping the humongous  stones. The head of the  gigantic thing was wrecking houses and damaging buildings.  His knees were pounding the grass in seconds. His elbows were destroying playgrounds.
Brodie

Her arms keep pounding the concrete. 
Her feet kept rusting as she rumbled past the broken buildings. 
Her rusty hand dug into the bottom of the earth.  
Her teeth kept crunching.  
She kept on eating until it was all rubble.
By Jayme




Her jagged teeth ate the floor. 
I hear her neck at the door. 
Her eye is small but  tough.  
Her arm is big and rough.  
She  picks up wire and a tyre and then she finished.  
She threw it all away and said,  
"I will see you another day".
Izobella

Her sharp  shiny teeth are grabbing metal.  She is crushing the wheel and smashing rocks. The rusty wheel rolled away down the hill, striking stones.  They started sinking at the bottom of the hill and then started getting bigger and bigger.

AAL Medal Winners

A big congratulations to Flynn who got a bronze medal for his AAL and to Noah and Izobella who both got silver medals. They have all done a number of AAL's

The street was usual enough.....

We did writing modeled a little on James K Baxter’s writing.

The street was usual enough. Leaning and hard to get past. We played on the path next to the street.  We crossed the street safely and were careful. We did what boys and Dads do, played together and felt excited.

Rory

The town was usual enough with single houses, a big beach and buildings.  We biked, played soccer, played rugby and ran races.  We did what families do exploring together.

Izak

The street was usual enough, round abouts, flat roads, trees and grass.  We scootered with friends.  We said “Hi” to neighbors and made new friends.  We did what families do having heaps of fun and spending time together all playing in the back yard and getting messy.  

Kendal

The town was usual enough, jewellery shop, MacDonald’s and straight roads.  My granny lives at the jewellery shop.  Me and my sister saw Muda the dog.  I think he is a German Shepherd.  We did what families do being caring, nice and kind.

Flynn

The beach was usual enough.  It had sand, water, fish and sky all over it.  When it snowed we slid down the hills on black bags.  On hot days we went to the beach and played in the water. Sometimes me and my family dug big holes.  That is what my family does best.

Casey

The room was usual enough.  It had three teddies, one net and a tea set.  I’d read books. We did what brothers and sisters do and had adventures down the back of the house. We found hats, cats and mats and even butterflies. I felt exhausted.  I fell asleep on the ground.

Izobella

The country was usual enough, tall hills, fun hot parks, massive cold forests.  We went to Uncle Brett’s for a scrummy tea and swim.  Had a go on the fast motorbike.  We did what cousins usually do

Luke

The room was usual enough.  It had skateboard shelves, a big desk with books, a narrow cupboard and a funny little squeaking monkey.  We talked together, played Lego and read Harry Potter.  We did what families do best, run and work together and have an enthusiastic time.

Mason

The town was usual enough.  The roads were bumpy and rough.  We played running games.  Blue skies above us.  Tripping over unusual cracks on the ground.  Roadwork’s everywhere.  Playing all day like cousins do.  On motor bikes on the farm, scootering on creamy concrete, looking for rabbits, feeling different and lucky.

Caleb

The town was usual enough. Curved and wild roads, parks, trees, nice and warm.  My friend and I liked to play on the trampoline.  We went to the park.  We read at night because we wanted to be better readers.  We did what friends do.   Played games and have extra fun.

Taylor

The city is usual enough.  Wobbly roads, tall and fat houses, golf courses, trees, after shocks and earthquakes.  There’s bouncy bumps and quiet and sleepy roads.  Every night the birds twitter and people try to get to sleep.  We visited MacDonald’s.  Went to school. And to Toy World.  Me and my brothers play wrestling and rugby and soccer and play cricket.  Cooper and me play Wii and Jackson plays play station.  We did what brothers do.  Fight and enjoy life and have 5 times as much fun as we mostly do.

Brodie

The city was usual enough.  Sandy and dark and smooth and tiny and with a spiky tree on the other side of long grass.  We ran around the block 3 times.  We scootered around speeding on the street.  We did what brothers do, hang around all the time and wrestle on the tramp and play cricket.

Ollie

The house was usual enough.  It had cream bricks and white walls.  A lot of trees and a play house.  Me and my brother played around in my room.  We slept in my room.  Watched TV and played outside on my trampoline.  We did what families do.  Played together, went to the park together and never left anyone behind.

MacKenzie

The house was usual enough.  Old grass, concrete a bumpy drive, two small cars.  We played sport, ran around and feed fish and played Wii. We did what brothers do, played and argued over games.

Noah

The street is usual enough. Curly and busy. We did what brothers do. Biking fast like Lightening McQueen.  Running zippy like cars and scottering as hasty as a cheetah.

Ryan

The room was usual enough. Colourful duvet cover, one big teddy, one long desk, two little lights.  I drew on my desk all the time.  I slept in the colorful bed and cut some stuff out that I drew with my stencils.  We did what families do, wearing slippers, coloured in, cut stuff out.

Ashleigh

The room was usual enough.  I did my nails and watched TV.  I read my book and picked up my cell phone and played some games.  It had colourful walls and a desk as well, an owl duvet cover, and pillow.  I just sat around on my cell phone playing games.  Just doing what girls do.  Sometimes my friends came over and we had pillow fights.
