//Jakes Mystery// I was just sleeping in my bed when i was woken by a masked figure standing in the doorway, I couldn’t tell if it was a he or she but the figure was holding a knife. The figure came over to me, then I could see better, it was a man. For a second I thought he thought I was asleep but when I was thinking he grabbed my throat. I couldn't breath. I didn’t dare to move, and When I thought I was going to die the police smashed through the door, the man let go of my throat and the knife, he leaped through the window, the police ran after him but they were too late. “Damn it, we were so close” the police officer said”, Then the Police left. After a long day I went to get a drink at the IV.....Suddenly a group of people arrived with baseball bats, “Hey you” said the guy who broke into my house, then I ran out of the bar and ran all the way to my mate’s house, I was asked him if I could stay at his house he said “Ok”. Later when I was watching TV with my mate the thugs burst into the house, I screamed and started to run, when I turned around my mate was gone, I realized that the back door was open, I get ready to dive but then one of the thugs shot my shoulder, I go down, when I thought I was going to die, “OPEN UP” I heard a familiar voice, I saw the police run in, they grab the thugs but the leader runs out the back door. Everything went black....... I woke up in the hospital with some weird looking people around me, my vision gets better and the weird people turn into cops and a man dressed in black, he says to me “My name is Detective Bliss, I’m here to protect you and find out who that man was.” “Was he caught.” I moaned, “No he was not caught, thats why I’m here.” said Detective Bliss, “He has killed so many innocent people he deserves to die.” said Detective Bliss in an angry tone that didn’t sound right, I got off the bed and got dressed, I went outside and Detective Bliss was waiting in his car. I got into the car and asked Detective Bliss where we are going he said we are going to find the man that is trying to kill me. We drive off to a huge warehouse, we got out the car and opened the door to the warehouse, there are massive crates. Detective Bliss opens one up and there is a RPG and missiles for it “Wrong one.” Detective Bliss sighed, he opens another one and there’s some desert eagles “Bingo” said Detective Bliss, he gave one to me, “I’ve never shot a gun in my life.” I gasped, “Well you better learn.” said Detective Bliss with a smirk on his face.To be continued......

==== //I’m 18 and I’m on face book and Justin Bieber starts chatting me and then I realise that’s not the real Justin Bieber and I’m shocked.And that’s why I think face book should be banned.I have some reasons why face book should be banned.// ==== ==== //Firstly people make fake ages like they are 20 but they are actually 15 or younger, so a real twenty year old person would ask you on a date or something and you think they are 15 and so you go to the date and they are an adult and you are 15, so you go home looking like a loser and no one likes looking like a loser.So that’s my first reason.// ==== ==== //Secondly there are those rude games and quizzes like there is a game called pot farm(a drug game)mafia wars, crime city and heaps more, there are some really rude quizzes called (It’s so rude I’m not telling) but I only play good games like FIFA superstars and zombie lane.There are a lot of advertisements that give your computer viruses.// ==== ==== //Finally there is cyber-bullying, cyber-bullying is a very common thing because mean people say really mean things, a lot of people have said really mean words to me. So I’m not encouraging people to say those words to other people.This isn’t really bullying but it’s creepy because a random person could start chatting you and they could ask you really personal questions.// ====

//I think face book should be banned because people make fake ages,rude games, quizzes, viruses and there is a lot cyber-bullying going on, SO BAN FACE BOOK.//

I don’t agree that school should end at 4:00pm because a lot of things will be mixed up such as sports, special occasions, homework and there would be too much stress on the parents and children.I have 3 reasons why Greytown school should not start at 4:00pm. Firstly there would not be any time for sports after school like soccer, net ball, basket ball or rugby.No one would be able to fit in there fitness after school like running with there parents or friends and no one would improve there fitness that well. Homework the most important thing at school, it will not be returned to school on time because they will miss out an hour off of free time so as soon as your half way through your homework you will have to go to bed or get ready for bed.You will have to rush your work before dinner and bed. There would be a lot of stress on the parents and the kids because they have to go to bed late and wake up early.So the kids will be really grumpy and the parents will be woken up by the kids in the morning and the parents will be tired, grumpy and angry. So that’s why I disagree that school should finish at 4:00pm.Do you agree with me? DON’T CHANGE THE TIMES! This is my 1 minute speech //Zombies//  //What are zombies? Zombies are horrible monsters, they eat flesh and blood, they mostly come out in the night in movies and books but I am not sure if that is true.//  //Zombies are very popular monsters, they are in about 78 video games my favourite zombie game is call of duty black ops zombies and 600-800 movies, my favourite zombie movie is Zombieland and about 50 books according to wikipedia, zombies are competing against vampires for popularity.Here is 1 scientific reason a zombie apocalypse could happen.//  //Parasites, they start inside a rat and then the parasite programs the rat to get eaten buy a cat or anything that eats rats and then the parasite spreads and finally humans get the parasite and turn into a zombie//.

My Thrilling Story

Me and my family (except my Dad) went on a holiday to Australia about a year ago on a plane and we went with a lot of friends to a nice picnic spot in a wildlife reserve, it was connected to heaps of different bush walks, some were long some were short, the shortest one is about 30 minutes and the longest one is about 5-6 hours I think.About half an hour later we played tag in the giant fern cage, I was the tagger about 3-4 times, finally we all got bored and wanted to go on a bush walk.We all went and asked if we called go on a bush walk, but my Mum said yes only if we took Courtney with us and we begged Courtney not to come and finally she said OK and walked back to Mum, so we started walking and about 30 minutes later we found out we were all lost.

We took the wrong turn we all freaking out, someone said “Can we go back” and I said “We have gone to far to go back now” so me and my brother ‘Jordan’ led the way. We walked for about an hour then we at a cliff, we had to walk carefully on the edge and my foot went over the edge but Jordan caught me a thanked him and we went on, we finally finished walking on the edge of the cliff and stopped to have a rest. We were sitting on a log and we saw a river running through the bush and we saw a giant lizard with a gleaming red neck and its skin was shinning because of the suns bright beams and it was sitting on the edge of the river it was quite cool so we all got up and started walking again.

We kept walking for at least another hour and we were all really tired so we looked for a place to sit and rest, “I found it!” I shouted, it was a clear peace of rock right next a little stream surrounded by trees but then I realised it looked familiar but I didn’t let it bother me, so we all had a rest. When we all got up and started walking it hit me that was our hideout we go to when we are bored so I told everyone and we all started running up the path that was surrounded by trees on the sides and on top of us and all of a sudden I was blindedq by the light, and then I was looking at my mum looking down at me and I hugged her.An hour later we hopped in the car and drove to our friends house for the night.

A lady came to our school her name is Stephanie Bowman she is from America and she is trying to save the long fin eels and she is making a gaint tapestry with the help of heaps of different schools and she is also making it long enough to wrap around the bee hive

These are some ways that you can save the long fin eels. Also pass this onto your family and friends. If you are going to go eel fishing don't catch to much eels catch at least five or less also don't catch the female eels.

Hope you help save the long fin eel

This is my story I did at school

__The Animals Amazing Adventure__

 There was a cat named Scratch  and he is  fat and grey with funny looking white spots and he lives with his parents and one day he was walking home and then the bridge underneath him broke down , he fell at least five stories and then landed in a stream and he swam to the shore and fell asleep.When he woke up there was a turtle staring he was small and skinny with little orange spots on his shell and he screamed, he tried to run but he was to slow Scratch picked him up and said “ I won’t hurt you I’m lost, do you know where I am” the turtle said “ I don’t know where I am either I fell off a waterfall.”

 When they were walking Scratch said “ I’m Scratch whats your name.” the turtle said “Well my name is Zippy because I’m so fast in the water that I can beat a cheetah.” They both run into a giant tree with a humungous  humongous  hole in it then a giant bird popped its head out and said “ Do you need any help because the only way around this tree is to swim.”

 Scratch said “Yes is there a log any were.” the bird said “ Yes there is just <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">one <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">over there.” and pointed over to the left.They grabbed the log and put it in the river the bird said “When you get to the bit that splits go left (he lied).” “Ok” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“OK <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">”said scratch and hopped on the log.So they went down the stream but the bird said to go left but that was to the waterfall, so they fell down the waterfall and landed in a river in an oasis.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> They both hopped out of the water and they were really hungry, they saw a mushroom and they looked at each other then at the mushroom and licked there lips, they ran for it, Scratch pushed Zippy over he got back up and bit Scratch’s tail, Scratch screeched in pain and turned around and scratched Zippy with his claws and got him in the face he screamed, Zippy started to choke Scratch and Scratch couldn’t breath and gave up, Scratch had died and so did their friendship.Zippy went up to the mushroom and ate it, he realised it was poisonous and started to choke, he fell to the ground and died.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> KAPOW!!! The nerve racking feeling hit me right in the head when we were walking to the freezing cold pools.The walk there was really boring and we were chanting and talking all the way there.The chant was “Takitimu is the best, Takitimu rules the rest, Takitimu is standing strong, Takitimu is number 1! 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate, not the king, not the queen, Takitimu is the team! We had such loud voices I couldn’t hear any one else.When we got to the pools my throat hurt really bad.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> When we got there the water was so sparkly that it looked like a giant diamond glistening in the sun.We sat in our house but Aotea stole our place everyone in Takitimu were really sad.Mr Preston came and said to get into our togs for our race but my race was in a long time, it was so boring waiting so I just ate my morning tea, talked to my friends and waited for my race.Heaps of other people had there races,I heard splashing everywhere I went.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Finally it was my race it was 1 length freestyle, I had two races though my other one is 1 length backstroke.Mr Mackey called my name and I was the only 11 year old and the rest were 12 year olds and I was scared but confident, I put on my goggles and lined up with the others on the edge of the pool.We dived in my eyes filled up with water and my goggles burst into my mouth with water, I couldn’t breath properly but I kept swimming, I hit the other side of the pool, I sighed with relief and hopped out of the pool and said to myself “Finally its over and I can’t wait to race again”.My next race was ages away but when that race started I was nervous but I was the only 11 year old again, I put my goggles on, hopped in the water then BANG the gun went off I was swimming my heart off but my friends were cheering me on, I hit the other side of the pool and sighed again and it was over just like that.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I went to get changed but when I was half dressed my friend told me there was a free swim but I said “No, I can’t be bothered getting back in my togs”.So I didn’t get back in my togs and went outside and sat with my mum.I waited until the free swim finished and all I heard was splashing and people shouting, once it finished we left the pools with Lachie, Javier and my brother, we hopped in the car and went to my house.
