Music ... Eliza Rogers
The musician is singing her heart out
dancing and jumping all about
she can hear clapping and cheering all around
everyone come hear her lovely sound!
no sour song and screeching voice
just high notes and a daring choice

Noises boomed
as I hear a faint voice
echoing in the microphone.
It was very sweet
and then I hear music come in.
I loved it.

CHRISTMAS ON THE FARM
Estelle Norman
Once upon a time there lived a dog named Blue. Blue is a sheepdog, but now instead of herding the sheep, he is helping his farmer put up the decorations because it’s CHRISTMAS TIME. But the problem is that Blue’s farmer isn’t spending Christmas with his animals. He is going away to spend Christmas with his family. But he’s still decorating his house because it’s just so fun to do it. All the animals on the farm are going to have to have Christmas by themselves. Oh no.
“Ah, finally, the Christmas decorations are up,” called blue’s farmer. “Now I better catch the plane to Wellington, because I can’t be late for Christmas with my family,” Blue’s farmer added as he walked to the car. Blue’s farmer waved goodbye to all the animals and then drove off to catch his flight.
“Bar- humbug,” murmured a Goose named Yellow.
“Now we have to have Christmas on our own,” whinnied a horse named Brown.
“Oink oink, we have to have Christmas on our own, oh no, no,” cried a pig named Pink.
“Well, now all I think we have to do is go to sleep and hope that our stockings are going to be full by morning,” woofed Blue the sheepdog.
They all scattered off to their ponds, stables, barns, and baskets.
In the middle of the night, there was a big BELLOW. It woke up all the animals in right. A deep voice called, “Help, help me!”
All the animals rushed outside and saw a big red tomato shape stuck in the chimney with big black boots waving up in the air. IT WAS SANTA!
All the animals gazed at the struggling creature.
“What is it?” cried Green the frog.
“Or who?” squeaked the pesty old crow who ate all the farmer’s crops.
“It’s Santa, can’t you tell?” woofed Blue.
“Santa,” quacked Yellow the duck.
“Whatever..” squabbled the pesty old crow.
“No, it has to be,” agreed Brown. Then he shooed the old crow away.
“Help, please, someone get me out of here”, bellowed the deep voice again.
Then the crow flew back and murmured, “I still don’t think it’s Santa.”
“It doesn’t matter who it is, let’s help him,” woofed Brown.
As quick as a flash, Yellow flew up onto the roof of the house, and landed on it.
Then he started tugging at one of the boots, it came off.
Everyone saw one big white red spotted sock. It looked rather tight and had a hole in it, the hole showed his big toe.
Anyway as hard as the duck tugged the person wouldn’t come out of the chimney.
But the duck wasn’t giving up hope. His strength lowered even more, he felt even more faint, the exhaustion surrounding him dropped to the lowest point, then...ZZZZZZZZ......
Yellow fell into a deep snooze.
“Woof, I will help,” cried Blue, and he sprinted about 20m back. Blue caught his breath, then leapt towards the TALL roof.
Ouch, he banged against it and didn’t get to the top of the roof. Blue howled in pain but got over it after a while.
After about ten goes of constantly sprinting, leaping, then howling, Blue finally got to the top. “Hurrah!” cried all the animals.
Natalia was the farmer’s horrible neighbour and she must have woken up because of all the racket the animals were making. OH NO!!!!
Now Blue was hurriedly tugging at the man’s boot at a frantic pace. It came off like the other one.
Then Blue, the dog, going through a mash of franticness, thought to himself: “If I get this man who I think is Santa out, what am I going to do because Natalia will find us.”
So he quickly jumped high into the midnight sky, and his paws landed exactly where the man’s feet were.
The man went shooting down the chimney. Blue jumped after him.
Next door, the continuous stomping stopped and the door slammed open.
The duck ran into the house and hid under the farmer’s bed.
The frog did a tremendous leap and landed in the pond.
The pig scuttled into the pigsty and the horse galloped into the stables and the pesty old crow flew into a field of corn and hid behind a scarecrow.
But what happened to Blue and the man?
Oh, it’s alright, they had solutions. The man clicked his fingers and became invisible. Ok, he was Santa. Then Blue brushed off the black soot he had collected in the
chimney, scurried up to his basket, and pretended he was going for a snooze.
Just then, Natalia came storming into the house in a flame of fiery rage.
“Who woke me from my beauty sleep?” she demanded. The house was silent.
Natalia stomped around, knocking over desks, kicking over chairs, trying to cause
destruction. She couldn’t find anything unusual, so she rampaged outside and started trying to find the cause to her waking.
As soon as she was gone, Blue jumped up and thought a funny question. How did
Natalia get in through the side door because the farmer had locked it?
Then Blue raised his head over to where the side door is, or was. Blue felt a big gust of wind pour onto his face and through his flickering eyelids he saw a lonesome door frame. Natalia had knocked the door down.
Anyway, Natalia came back inside, folded her arms, and while stomping one foot, she called to her husband. There was a rustling and through the lonesome door frame came Natalia’s husband, named Bart.
“I can’t find the thing that woke me,” moaned Natalia. “You probably imagined it in your head. I think we should go home and get some sleep,” yawned Bart.
“But, I’m sure...”
The arguing couple on and on but luckily left the farmer’s little cottage.
A while after the couple had gone and the animals had got back together, Blue
remembered Santa.
“Santa,” he howled, as if someone were lost. There was no reply.
Then the animals glanced at the stockings – they were full.
Santa had come and gone as quick as a wink.
So the next day the animals opened their stockings.
Everyone got something, even the crow got something.
They fixed the door, and cleaned the house before the farmer came home and lived
happily ever after.
THE END!

Lily, Dash & Dan
Maude Rogers
A long time ago, there was a very poor family. They lived in the forest, but one day the mother got sick, so Lily said, “I will find the antidote, I will do it for you.” So she set off for her journey – this was the first time, she has been away from home.
I didn’t tell my friends because I didn’t want to put them in danger. Along the way, I did meet one of my friends, his name was Dash. I asked him why he was in the forest. He was in the forest because his father was ill too. He said let’s work together to save our parents. Lily shouted: you’re on then!
She notes that someone or something was watching them, she told Dash because he hasn’t seen it. Lily was scared, and she stood close to Dash, but it was just her other friend, Dan. Lily and Dash both ask why Dan was there.
Dan said, my mum and dad both have poison in them. Me too, said Lily. Dash said, same. Then Lily thought of a great idea.
Let’s all work together to save our parents so they set off for what they thought was going to be easy. So now they are in a forest called Deathly Shadows. Lily was petrified, so she clung on to Dash.
You might think this is the wrong place but no, it is the right place. The antidote is almost impossible to find in the Erebod - there it’s was underground, but the antidote was the complete opposite here, it was in the tallest tree.
Dan saw a glint of a bottle high up in a tree, so he climbed up and almost grabbed it, but it fell. Dan called out, Heads up! but Dash couldn’t catch it halfway up in the tree. But just then in the nick of time Lily caught before it crashed on the ground and made a wet damp puddle.
The boys got down from the tree. They then ran back to their parents, but they took a wrong turn. Suddenly, a wolf appeared: follow me, it said, I’ll show you the way.

Moondust
Jazmin & Jane woke up to the shine of the morning sun. Just the way they like it and thought of the day ahead of them and all the children in Booglebelly Land. Jazman and Jane were the light of all the people in in Booglebelly Land not just because they were beautiful but because they were beautiful on the inside and out. A few weeks ago their great grandad passed away, so
today they were having a big garage sale of all their great granddad’s stuff. There was a big great African trunk that Jane thought was very interesting.
Another day had just started for the young witches, Jazmin and Jane.
332 years later, Jazmin and Jane woke up to the sticky shine of the morning sun just the way they hated it. They both got up and slid their feet across the slippery mouldy floorboards to the mirror that was covered in spider web and mould—for a second they were silent, then high pitched squeals bounced off the walls.
Jazmin’s long bronzen chocolate curls were now a smudged greasy green and black colour and Jane’s long gold caramel curls were now flattened and smudged a reddy-black colour. They both ran over to the time ball with their bums in the air. Jazmin clasped her hands over the starry night sky timeball, full of blackness and small diamonds. Sheshio calio ra ra ra, chanted the two sisters.... and after they looked at the ball, they knew they had to start a mission to find moondust.... to be continued

CLEAR POOLS
Dara Beattie-Johnson
clear pools of pristine water
leaves of green nature’s beautiful daughter
water glowing fluorescent blue
crystal clear as clean as ice
the leaves hang with an exotic wonder
trailing idly on the top of the liquid diamond surface
in this place no strife nor plunder
only sunshine not dark black thunder
the world agrees with all I say
aqua blue, cooling, soothing on this beaming
