Mr Hayes

 This kind man (Mr Hayes) had his house robbed, car stolen twice and been anoyed by pesky teenages we decided help him out by making a bake sale. We raised $200 for him to spend on whatever he wants.

war scences poem

Waiting

Young, scared kids fleeing with terror.

Thick, dense smoke fills my nose as I quietly wait until the time is right.

Gun shells clanging against                           solid, hard ground.

Burning, sweltering heat from the hot,   deadly explosions just metres ahead of me.

Black charcoal grinds through my chipped, unbrushed teeth.

I think that if I make it out alive I will be the luckiest soldier on earth.

camp sences poem

Thornton Beach Camp 2012

The dark blurry shadows of seabirds

flying overhead.

Fresh salty air rushes through my nose.

The dark blue waves crashing against the soft, silky sand turning into rough foamy white wash.

The firm, cold breeze  brushes across

my face.

The salty fresh water gushes down

my throat.

I think Thornton Beach Camp is a

great camp site for everyone.

my creative creature

MY CREATIVE CREATURE

My animal is a Chookimai and I would like to tell you more about this extreme creature.

Appearance

The Cookimai has gruesome, slimy fingers that help him get a grip on newspapers to have a ball of          entertainment.  He has ugly toes.  His ears are as thin as paper and are extremely fluffy.  They are the size of a cow’s ears.  You rarely see them because they are usually swimming in the toilet at night!      During the day they are looking for food. 

Diet

The Chookimai eats a range of foods that are: chips, lollies, cans, dirt, bananas, fungi, paper, stones, rocks, shoes, paint and even dishwashing liquid.  When he eats something sweet his tongue goes yellow, if it goes red it is sour.  The Chookimai is as blind as a bat but has the hearing of a deer.

Population

Sadly there are only 194 of the Chookimai left in the whole world.  There is one in each country.  The Chookimai was introduced in a small town called Warsaw, the capital of Poland.  The Chookimai spread by plane and got around lots of countries (also by ship and boat).  There is even one in Antarctica.

Behaviour

The Chookimai is a sly creature that moves like a fluffy sloth climbing along a branch, but as soon as it    detects danger it moves as swiftly as a freight train, almost travelling at the speed of light!  When the Chookimai is relaxed it will turn a light blue, if it is excited or in shock it will flash all different colours.  If they haven't noticed danger when it is  right behind them they will lie on their back and will bounce up and down.  Somehow it scares the predator away.  It sleeps half way into the night until morning and then sleeps half way through the day.

Life cycle

When Mount Halabulogi (say: Hal-ab-a-lug-e) erupted one particular drop of lava was glowing blue,       except it wasn't a lava drop it was a Chookimai egg!  It multiplied 194 times and that is how they were  created.

Enemies

The Chookimai’s enemies are dogs, cats, possums, tigers, humans, lions, snakes, even hawks and other birds of prey.  The Chookimai has no fighting skills so it is easy prey for many hungry animals.  If the Chookimai gets eaten their blood turns into another Chookimai so it will never become extinct.

Extra Facts

Did you know that the Chookimai can grow another arm or leg in 12 seconds if it gets cut off.  The Cookimai can jump 14 metres high.    Its tongue can expand to 2 metres long.

I hope this tells you more about this interesting creature.

what am i

I live in the cold , fresh water of rivers.

I am one of the rarest , warm blooded animals in the world.

I sadly shall come to extinction in roughly 50 years.

I live in the old , fungi covered dams in China.

There are about 40-70 other left of my breed.

My relatives live in the massive , blue ocean.

I breath the soft , clean air.

WHAT AM I ?

 Comment what you think i am.

bio poem

Jake

 Sporty, Joker, Good friend,

Wishes to become a famous scooter rider,

Dreams of owning a batch in the Coramandel,

Wants to become a pilot,

Who wonders why grass is green,

Who fears being hit by a car,

Who is afraid of math tests,

Who likes flying planes,

Who believes that if you try you shall succeed,

Who loves scootering and my family,

Who plans to be in Nitro Circus,

I hope I will succeed in everything I need to succeed in.
