our Christmas tree
glittering glowing baubles shine
making our Christmas divine
snowman on skis
santa on sleigh
reindeers on rope
and an angel on top
our Christmas tree

AT THE FARM
Olivia Connelly
Once there was a farm.
At the farm there were cows / chicks / dog / hen and a pig that could fly.
One day they had a picnic at the sea. They brought delicious food, like cake, doughnuts, milk, lollypops, cheese and iceblocks.
The cow played drum, when the dog played in the water.
On the way back they sang. We are the farm animals: woof, moo, quack, oink, nay, we-e are the farm animals YAY. Till they got to the other side of the beach.
The dog went for its last puddle, it got nipped by a crab, they shouted “doctor, we need a doctor”. Five times.
Finally a doctor came and said “Hi, I am docterhufalump” and as you can plainly see I am a lion – I will take a big bite to fix it. Yum. By and by and he went.
They quickly went back to the farm. The people who own the farm, put two bandages on it.
Next time, they go to the beach, everybody is going to wear shoes!

THE CRACK
Dara Beattie-Johnson
The cracks travel through narrow passages seeking sorrow and corruption eating their way
through the past, present, and future of once loved buildings and ruined hearts.
Leaving marks of its sad journey and terrible ambition by breaking foundation
of what keeps Christchurch strong. Wrecked foundation crumbling from within.
Once this place was beautiful but now it’s scared and dead.
Death, destruction, terror is what the cracks will bring.

The Wish Part 2 Meg Weedon
Once upon a time a girl wished upon a star. Her wish was what she’d always wanted. The young girl went to sleep that night and ... continued ... The weirdest thing happened....
He threw a ball of yarn at Sophie.
“Excuse me?!?” Sophie said, rather confused.
The thing snorted with disgust.
“Never seen you before? What likes yarn? Cats!”
“I-beg-your-pardon?!?!” stuttered the confused Sophie.
Her head was spinning like a candyfloss machine.
The creature saw the confusion and ran around in circles worrying about something.
“BAD, BAD, BAD. I confused her!” screamed the thing in a horrified voice.
“What’s bad?” thought Sophie.
The creature seemed to read her mind. “Nothing, my dear girl, just nothing,” he spoke with his teeth clenched together as if they were superglued.
He ran to her and knocked her down. Now she really could see he really had bright yellow cat’s eyes! What’s more he had a long swishing tale that slapped her legs softly. He had soft ears that were as black as the dwarves’ night cloak. The insides were as pink as piglet.
“So you were told by a dragon to run away from me?” said the cat-man.
“Yes, yes, Yes!” whispered / said / shouted Sophie.
Then a stereo suddenly floated out of the trees playing the song, “Drop Dead Gorgeous!”
“Huh? What? Drop? Dead? Gorgeous?” stammered the cat-man. .. “Really?”
“I’M SORRY,” said the radio in a robot-type voice. Then it started playing the song... well it wasn’t a song, it was an evil tune that’s in horror movies.
“MWAHAHA!” The man laughed, “I’m an evil wizard ,that’s why the dragon warned you about me, and told you I’m scared of fire.” He spoke soft like a kitten was playing with his heart.
“AAAAGGG” shouted a strange voice. It sounded like someone had swallowed all the helium in the world!
“Move out of the way for... Dun-diddle-ump-ump-upp-aah X-TREME PUMPKIN!”
An orange blob jumped out of the trees. Sophie realised it was a jack-o-lantern.
“Hoooy-yaaa! Bang! Cannonball!: shouted the pumpkin in a high-pitched voice.
He had fire inside him—the wizard realised this, and ran for the trees and up the hills.
“Thanks extreme pumpkin,” whispered Sophie.
“It’s X-Treme Pumpkin to you,” said the lantern. “But please call me X-P.”
“Mmm... Hmmm” said Sophie rather taken back.
“I understand you have two friends, one of which is a dragon,”
Sophie nodded in agreement. The pumpkin gestured with his stalk for her to follow. She suspiciously followed the pumpkin to a hole in the ground. He jumped in and waited at the bottom for Sophie.
”What?” shouted Sophie. “What am I meant to do?”
If X-P could roll his eyes she was certain he would.
“Coming?” shouted X-P back.
Again Sophie nodded and followed him down.
“So, why are we in here anyway?” Sophie stammered.
“It’s a force field—n o evil can get it.”
“What’s up doc?” said a weird voice.
“Hi, Bugs Bunny,” said X-P.
Sophie’s eyes widened as a massive grey bunny hopped in front of her.
“Hi Sophie,” said Bugs.
“Hi?” she managed back.
X-P left Sophie with Bugs to show her around his hole. He explained how they were putting an army together to get the captives off the wizard and free his sad spirit.
“Well, X-P’s waiting over there,” he pointed to a tunnel marked X-P. Sophie tottled down the tunnel looking for a light.
POOF! A fire appeared at the other end.
“X-P?” called Sophie.
“Aaaah, oh yes, come in!” he answered.
Crawling down the tunnel, Sophie heard commands like... “Hut-2-3-4.” or “Forward March.”
At the end she realised there were rows and rows of animals, trees and other creatures.
“SOPHIE! Lead the way!” shouted X-P who was at the front.
“But...”
“I know you don’t know the way but I’ll show you,” he interrupted.
A massive door opened and the army marched up the hills, down the mountains, and far away.
Three days later, they reached the castle.
The wizard had been waiting.
“FORWARD ARMY!” jinxed both X-P and the wizard.
‘ROAR!!!!” Everyone turned around and froze in shock—a dragon had flown out of the trees and was slingshotting fireballs at the castle.
“AAAAAGGGGGHHH!” shouted the wizard.
“Forward!” shouted X-P.
The armies collided.
Sophie found her way to the wizard and opened a small bottle X-P gave her.
“NO-O-O!” said the wizard. His spirit was free—he fell on the ground and stayed there.
The army, spirit and himself were free of evil.
“YAY!” said the armies and chanted Sophie’s name.
“I have one question,” said Sophie. “Why is he scared of fire?”
The final words she spoke before she woke up.
The end.
