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 Drain Stories

The drains…..

One day some people came to check the drains at break. It was crowded with kids like a soccer field and as loud as someone screaming.  I said “Can we go and play,” to Flynn. But Flynn said “No, after it’s done.”  So we stayed there.  Then it finally finished and the bell rang so we had to go to class.

Josh

Once I was biking through the forest.  Suddenly I heard a noise in the drains.  I stopped.  I thought of going down there.  I didn’t want too.  It was gooey and sloppy.  But I went down there anyway.  I found what was making the noise.  It was like chicken bones and as scary as a shark.  I said “Argheee it’s a dead body.”  It was gross and disgusting and annoying.  I wanted it out.  A little voice said that he cannot come up. The drain was as dark as night time.  The voice said “He’s been down here for many years.”  I got out because the voice kept whispering in my ear.  A few days later I went fishing.  It was as fun as riding a dolphin.  I said “Wow Dad you caught a dog fish.”  It was as loose as a broken robot.  The fish was slimy. 

Noah

Once upon a time there was a rat.  He lived in the drains.  It was like rotten mould and old mud.  He said “It smells like something you would not eat.”  So one day he said “I’m going to get out of this.”  So he packed his bag.  On he went until he came to a very yucky part.  He said “It has got a lot of terrible stuff like old fish.”  It was hideous. So he walked through the sloppy mess.  When he came out of it he met his brother.  His brother said “How have you been?” The rat said “Terrible, disgusting and torture.”  “I know,” said his brother.  “I agree Rat.”  “Lets get out of here,” said his brother.  “Yeah” said Rat.  

William

The drain was as black as ink.  I thought  ”Yuck it smells like rotten flesh.” And  it had so many leaves.  It was dirty and sloppy. The pipe was long and slimy and crowded.

Ollie

On a wet Saturday morning I was walking to the beach with my dog.  A drain appeared in front of me but I never knew it was so close to us.  A huge puddle was in front and that’s why I couldn’t see the drain.  Then my dog saw another dog, he ran straight to him. I tripped up and went head first into the noxious, sloppy, decaying, gross and hideous drain.  It smelled like rotten flesh with lots of sandflies.  I was stuck in there for four hours until Mum and Dad searching for me.  They tried to pull me out but failed.  They kept trying.  It took five goes before they actually got me out of the drain. 

Brodie

Three weeks back drain people came to our school to fix them.  In the drains it looked like rotten flesh and disgusting.  Ashleigh said “Yuck, that looks like rotten slimy chicken.”  It just looked really gross.  The noise was annoying.  It smelt like slimy rotten, gooey chocolate.  Some rats and mice live in drains and if they do they will be all dirty all the time and they will get stinky.  I have held a mouse and rat before because my Mum wanted a photo. When I was holding the rat it bit my finger because I was holding the rat by its tail.  I said “Ow” because it really hurt.  The rat was biggish and the mouse was smallish.  Ashleigh said “There might be some mice and rats in the drains Izobella.”  The drains are as smelly as the smelliest rat in the world.

Ashleigh

Once there was a baby bandicoot crawling inside a drain.  He was scared so he said “Eek, eek, eek!” He crawled back to his bush.  He thought the drain was gross, hideous, disgusting, sloppy and gooey.  The next day he went to the icky drain.  It was as sloppy as a snail and as loud as construction work.  So he went down.  Later on that day in the drain he found some corn he wanted to eat.  But it was made out of a mans invention so the bandicoot said “Yuck, yuck,” and he spitted the piece of metal out.  The metal was orange and green.  He dug so deep that he touched the core of the earth. He saw another pipe so he crawled at 7k an hour to get there.

Flynn

Dear Sun

Dear Sun

Why are you so hot?  When I look at you my eyes get scorched.  I love the sun because I get to go out to the fantastic and amazing beach.  I miss you when the rain comes.  You look exciting at sun set and sunrise.

William

Dear Sun

You are so so hot, you’re hotter then larva.  I love the pink sky you make in the morning.  It is very nice you are steaming bright.  I love it because I get to go swimming.  Thanks sun.  I also love it when you rain and make a rainbow.  I love you sun.

Jayme

Dear Sun

Why are you sizzling hot?  You come upon me shooting fiery ashes from the distance.  Shining upon the world.  Its lighter when you come.

Taylor

Dear Sun

You are blazing hot with no sun the world would be ice.  You are a ball of gas.  There would be no plants if you weren’t.  It would be freezing and dark and there would be thousands of clouds.  Sun you are so bright and if you weren’t here there would be no trees.  You are hotter than lava.

Ollie

Dear Sun

You are so so hot.  Sometimes when the rainbow is out I think that you and the clouds are having a fight.  I love you sun.

Emma

Dear Sun

You are brighter than the earth.  You’re boiling hot like lava.  I like it when you brighten up the world.  You fire upon other people as well as me. If you wouldn’t be there it would be freezing cold.  But I am happy you’re there.  You are the only one sun. You are here today.

Aaron

Dear Sun

You are sizzling with hotness and scorching with flames.  If you weren’t there I would be freezing cold. I wouldn’t be able to go outside.  Sun you are my hero with “blazing” fire and flames.  When I was born I knew you would be fantastic. From the distance toasting red and flaming with orange.

Brodie

Dear Sun

You burn my eyes when I look at you.  My eyes turn to fried eggs.  And in Fiji I got sun burnt because of you.  At Lake Hood I got sun burnt again but that was because I forgot to put sun block on.

Mason

Dear Sun

How do you shine bright, can you shine better and hotter and brighter?  Can you stay longer?  I want you to stay forever. I love to play outside all day long.  I come in when there are dark freezing clouds.  We love the sun.  How do you shine, we love you so much please come every day?

Kate

To Sun

Thank you for making us warm at night.  We think you are fantastic. We wouldn’t be warm with out you.  Sometimes we feel sizzling.  You are hotter than hot chilli.

Nathan

Dear Sun

I like you because when you shine I go to the beach and have a swim and go boggy boarding.  I get a Mr Whippy ice cream.  Thank you sun.

Josh

The rain feels like a bucket of water fell on me.  The rain smells like me. The rain looks like wet bullets shooting out of the sky.  Today and yesterday it is raining. Today it is alright later, no rain, no matter.  My blue water ring controls the sea and rain.  The grass is wet.

Flynn

Then it rained.

Then it rained…..

The rain looks like the blue sky when it is drinking except it spills it over the clouds.  For us it’s like a huge shower.  It smells like milk. It feels like fresh air. The puddles are like a little pool. My hair gets soggy. Without the rain our plants wouldn’t grow.  With rain the fruit grows on trees.  The rain comes down as quick as lightening.  So it makes plants and fruit grow as fast as a racing car.

Noah

Today it was raining. It was damp and soggy and sticky.  It was kind of like cats and dogs pouring out of the blue sky.  The puddles made me think of tornadoes.

Brodie

The rain reminds me of the ocean.  It feels wet and the sticky puddles are huge. My hair is straight and the rain feels itchy and damp.

Ollie

Yesterday it was damp, wet and foggy.  Another day inside I thought.  And the rain reminds me of Aaron’s dog. My hair goes soggy. Raindrops fall everywhere, whishing and whooshing, splashing and waves.

Taylor

Yesterday when I woke up it was damp.  I could hear the rattling on the roof.  It smells like oil. When it rains it rattles on the roof.  It means no fun time like cricket and Jellie Park or other outside places and people get sick of it and mad.

Luke

Today it is raining.  Some people think rain can make stuff but I don’t think it’s true.  Me and Dad like rain.  Dad likes it because it helps our crops and I like it because we get to play with the blocks.  At home I run to my dojo with my dad and he teaches me judo.   I’m a red belt and only 2 levels to go. We have a leaking roof and it messes up the dojo sometimes.  It is very annoying when it rains.

Mason

The rain looked invisible because it was going fast.  The puddles were big like compact pools.  The rain smelt like salt lying on the clouds.

Josh

The rain feels cold and hard.  The rain looked like the clouds are crying on me.  It makes my hair very smooth.

Our Rocket Recounts

For writing last week we wrote about our science lessons about making rockets.  We concentrated on using recount time connector words: last week, on, then, next, finally.  See how well we did!  Mrs Q will be proud!

Last week we made rockets.  They were awesome.  We got balloons, straws and string and sellotape.  The rockets blew up into the sky.
