The Happy Old Mole!!




                   Chapter 1
Once upon a time there was a happy old Mole walking alone on the river bank.  Although the Mole was wearing a good suit he was still an old Mole.
Soon Mole bumped into Frog. “Hi Frog,” said Mole, “do you want to come to my house?”
                               Chapter 2
Frog agreed and when Mole and Frog got home Mole went and made a cup of coffee for Frog and put out some biscuits.
When Frog left Mole went to the supermarket to find some nice juicy bugs for dinner.
When Mole got back and ate his dinner and it was time to go to sleep.
                    Chapter 3
The next morning Mole woke up and decided to go for a walk again. This time Mole bumped into Badger and said excitedly “Oh my gosh Badger, do you want to go to my house and have same tea?”
“Certainly,” said Badger, so off they went to Mole’s house to have same tea.


                     Chapter 4
The next day Mole wanted to go on a boat trip down the river but he didn’t have a boat so he had to buy one.
Ratty was only too happy to sell him a boat and agreed to take Mole out to the river to teach him how to row his brand new boat.
                                  Chapter 5
When he was good enough, Mole decided to go for a long trip on the river. Ratty came along for the ride. After a while they came to a haunted valley that Ratty had never seen before.
Then Mole found a secret lair. Suddenly “Mwaaaa!” said a voice in the middle of nowhere. Mole and Ratty rowed for their lives.
                    Chapter 6
When Mole got out of the haunted valley there was a smooth lake until he hit a rock “I hit the raging rapids Aaaaaaa!” he yelled.
When Mole got to the bottom of the rapids he was still screaming his head off.

STRIKE!!!!!!

Lately Strike has visited our school with a outstanding performance with Drums, Fire, Fresh Up Cans and Marimba.

Strike is a musical percussion group that travel around the world, they play in music festivals and on shows as well as at schools. They are known for their loud music and beats.

At First they started with a loud rhythm and beat on the drums then they did a song on the Marimba it was very relaxing.  They then were straight in with volunteers that were teachers and then some kids.

After that they were doing a build up of songs so they started with one and then another one came in and so on. They then made everyone need a drink because they used fresh up cans with a hand performance, that made everyone wonder.

They started spraying  fire with "special spray" when they did that, they put fire onto a stick and sprayed the fire with the " special spray " to make it go everywhere. It was very clever because what the kids didn't know was that the burning fire balls created a beat.

The final finale was when they did the loudest song they ever did which was called " Little Seagulls " and some people thought " Little Seagulls are peaceful and it wasn't peaceful at all "

Robot Attack

One beautiful sunny day an inventor was working in her lab jotting down notes and looking at the blue prints. "I think I've got it right now" she said to herself. Three days later the ROBO 2000 robot maker was complete. The inventor turned on the machine and she got ready to make the robots. A voice said "Please enter your password."

Her password was written on a piece of paper somewhere and as she was looking for it she slipped on something.
 "BANG!"
 "Hmmmmmmm, I wonder what this piece of paper was doing on the ground, it should be in the recycling bin?" she said out loud. She tossed the paper in the bin.

 Little did the inventor know that the piece of paper that she put in the bin was the piece of paper that she was looking for.

"Wait a minute that paper that I chucked away might have my password on it" she thought to herself. So the inventor ran back to the recycling bin and grabbed the paper.

"Yahoo now I can make some robots" the inventor said. As the inventor entered her password the machine began making some beeping noises. "Be bo bop beep. Hello what can I do for you, make me a cup of Joe," it said. The inventor programmed it to make her robots.

Two weeks later the inventor was sitting around and the robots were doing everything for her as well as  all the people in the city. Life was sweet.  But something went wrong!

One night the robots went outside and started destroying the city while the towns people were  inside sleeping. The buildings were destroyed and the roads were ripped up. The city was a mess and something had to be done.

"Neeeeewm!" a jetplane flew over the destroyed airport.  The airforce had come to the city.

The pilot said into his mouthpiece "Sir I have a lock on the main robot, do I have your permission to fire!'

The commander replied "Yes, fire when ready!" The pilot squeezed the fire button and two missiles launched from the jet's wingtips. They flew straight and true and hit the main robot smack in the head.

KAABOOOM! The missiles exploded and destroyed all the robots, smashing them all to smithereens. The city was saved.

The inventor was sad that her invention had failed again but she was determined to succeed. Three months later the ROBO 2001 robot maker was completed...
