The time I was Silly- by Frankie

Me and my friend Gretel were on the trampoline, bouncing, high in the sky. We were calling names out to people like Spongebob, Patrick, Barbie and Ken.

A couple came along walking casually down the street as if nothing was about to happen to them. We yelled at them from the trampoline, through the hedge down to the footpath. “Hey, retarded duck!” I thought they were complete strangers. They were actually my parents friends. 
They said, “That's not very nice Frankie  Frankie’s friend, girls, where are your mum and dad?
“Well, I think mum is at the supermarket and dad? I am pretty sure  is in the backyard. You can go and see him.’

“Ok then. Thank you, bye” they say.  

“Bye,” we said together.

As soon as they got around the corner of the house we started to burst with laughter, it felt like we were about to pee our pants.

“I can't believe we called them a retarded duck”, Gretel said.

“I know, right? And, it was so hard to hold in that laugh”  I replied.

The Attack- By Jasper

I raced off the field for the next soccer match. Heidi, my dog was on a leash, sitting on the sideline. I was as red as cherry from all the running around.  I walked to Heidi to give her a hug. She bit me. Oww!

I walked away showing my back to her. I had a treat for her, but I did not give it to her because she bit me. She saw the treat in my hand, she was charging at me like a bull, she hit me, I crashed to the floor. She leaped on me. My eyes were bulging out and my mouth was wide open. She missed. I leaped on to her and grabbed her collar

I got a big scratch on my leg from her leaping on me with her claw reaching out.  She grazed my leg and it stung while the blood trickled down.

The next soccer match began.

                 Sleep Walking By Danielle

I was not awake when this happens. Even though it was I who did it. But my mum told me all about it.

It all starts late at night. I rise from my bed. As though summoned by some force. I slip out of bed with great ease. Soundlessly I cross the room, and slip through the crack in the door. When I reach the door to the kitchen. I wedge it open. The only sound in the house. At the moment was the, crack from the door.

Once in the kitchen. I head straight for the cupboard. To the left of the sink. Muttering constantly. ¨I need to go! I need to go!¨

My limp body shudders as my hand makes contact with the cold metal. ¨Creeaaak!¨

There`s a rustle, then… footsteps.

“Come on Honey! I`ll take you back to bed”

In the morning. When I go into the living room. My mum was relating that night's story. Then she asks me if I remembered it. When I just stare at her blankly a look of realisation spreads across her face. And she declares “You were sleepwalking.”

The Jump by Blake

We walked through a jungle of native trees, past lakes and streams to a small lake called The Coffin. I didn't expect what I saw. It was a beautiful small lake and it was ocean blue. My friend said that the lake was full of eels. Dad, my cousin, a friend called Will, me and mum started to climb up the rocky rough track. We had to go across streams and then we arrived at a point where I looked down and there’s a drop that’s about 15 to 16 feet high. My dad thought I wasn’t going to do it, but after a while I said “yolo” and jumped. My friends said they didn’t touch the bottom of the lake when they jumped. But, for some reason I touched the bottom quite hard. The lake was incredibly cold. It was actually more scary in mid air than standing on the rocky cliff. It felt like I was jumping off a skyscraper.    

The playground by Emma M

There it is. On a busy street. The playground. I sprinted  as fast as I could up the path. With a big smile on my face. My first obstacle the bridge. I raced along the bridge, swang across the ropes next the monkey bars. There it was the swirly wurly ladders up to the chains, but first I had to go up and down the ladders. “Here we go”, I said. I put my foot down onto the bars. Eek! I Quickly pulled my foot away. 1  2  3 …… I slowly lowered my foot down to the bar. Slowly, one foot, then the next. I was so afraid I was going to fall. “You can do it Ems” yelled Dad. One hand then the next, one foot, then the next, one hand then the other. I'm nearly there I said to Mum and Dad. It was getting less swervy now, I was nearly there.

“Yay ! Ems you're doing it” yelled Mum. I was lowering myself down the last few steps. 1  2  3 ……

“Yay! I did it” I yelled. Now for the going up bit. This will be a piece of cake. I climbed up to the top “Yay, I did it” I say, punching my arms up in to the air.

“Well done Emma” yelled mum.

“That was fun, I’m going to do that again” I announced.

Mum and Dad laughed.

Rugby Training by Manaia

Finally, I got in. Oh no, my group was up next. My heart was beating fast like a car engine. My legs were shaking, my arms were wobbling like jelly. Then we started passing the ball backwards.

I settle in. I say to myself “keep running”. I know that I will become a champion!

Blood by Hugo

                  

There was blood on the wall. I knew it was my brother. There was a sign on the door saying “At the hospital, Leo cut finger”. But I'm still scared. Indian (my cat) accidentally walked through the blood. I’m crying hard, really hard. I waited for Leo to come back. It took an hour for him to return, he was all stitched up.

We were about to sink by Frankie

It was a beautiful sunny  day we had just finished packing up the boat to go back to the beach house, but as soon as we got around the point it was so wavy we could hardly move and the water was just about to turn the boat into a pool. I was so scared my face was trembling with fear. All of a sudden dad turned the boat around and we were heading back to the beach. Then I realised I had forgotten the bag with the dive gear and the towels, oh no!!!.   As soon as we got back to shore, I jumped off the boat, grabbed the bag and jumped back in and off we went back around the point. It took about one hour to get home. After that we were drenched. So we had a hot chocolate and the hottest bath I have ever had in my whole entire life.

Cracking Head by Takehisa

Ouch!! I smashed my head. I put my hand on the wound. When I looked my hand, there was lots of blood. I was loosing a lot of blood. I thought I was having a dream.

Mum looked horrified. She said “there's blood coming out your head!!”

Then I went to the closest hospital. I don’t really know what happened next as I was asleep. I woke up with about 7 stitches in my head. Then I said to myself that I never want to smash my head ever again.

Tumble and Roll by Rory

Mum, Dad, Connor and me were driving to Auckland. We were driving on a mountain. It was really windy and the road was really icy. Suddenly the car skidded off the road and smashed into a tree. Mum broke her arm and dad broke his leg. Connor and me had lots of cuts. Some friendly builders came down and helped. I was terrified at the time, so when I hear the word “car” I feel slightly sick.

The nightmare at Hamilton Zoo by Evelyn

It was a sunny day at Hamilton Zoo. We walked into the avery, and I saw a red and green parrot. I stood as still as a statue and then it happened. The parrot saw me. I think he thought I Was a tree because I was standing so still and my hair looked like a birds nest. He flew down and landed on my head. I could feel his claws scratching against my head, but I couldn't move. I was frozen with fear. I could feel his claws scratching against my head. I knew he was getting ready to jump because his claws were digging into my head, he springed off my head as if it was a trampoline. I saw him fly away into the distance cackling like a witch.  

OH MY GOD!!! By Janne

Rim was a little girl. She was walking across the waterfront. Splash, splash, the water jumped up. Rim stared over the edge. Suddenly she slipped off the edge. She fell into the water. Her arms and legs were flying all over the place before she hit the freezing sea. Aaaaaaaaaaaah  weeeeeeeeeeeee splosh! There was an ugly young looking mermaid. She had long fingernails, blackish greenish long hair, wide eyes and a dark brown tail. The mermaid’s tail slowly moves back and forth to swim. The mermaid tore Rim’s cheek with her fingernails. Rim tried to swim back up. 

The Fall by Anna

The ice cold air whips across my face as I stumble in the ice cold air of this stormy day, I move onwards to the rock.

I’m on the rock, finally.

The wind howls, as I stagger upwards.

The wind is so strong I move about wobbling about everywhere, it feels as if I’m going to fall… but luckily I stay up on the rock.

I’m still wobbling and then I start to fall, falling, falling and falling.

OUCH!!

My knee is bursting with red. I close my eyes, I feel dizzy, blackness swirls around, I flicked my eyes open and I wonder did that happen?

Balloon Head by Hunter

I’m charging towards the ball and it’s level with my head. I trip over and miss the ball, BANG! I hit my head on the plank of wood and bounce back to hit the ground. I wriggle like a worm in pain and agony on the fresh summer grass. I’m lying on the ground like a starfish in a big pile of tears. My friends say “Wow Hunter your head looks like a balloon”.

A time I was scared by Sophia

As I shuffled towards the window, which I was supposed to abseil down, fear was slowing me down. As soon as I was leaning out of the window I began to whimper, sob and shake, but then I heard my teacher, Hamish say, “If you get down Sophia, I’ll give you two sour worms!” My eyes lit up. I was torn between my fear of heights and desire for lollies. My desire won and the next thing I knew, I was half way down the wall telling the instructor about dragons. When I got to the bottom, I smiled and thought to myself, that wasn’t so bad after all!

A Time When I Got Scared by Angelina

I was rushing up the stairs, wanting to get home, I unlocked the bottom lock. I didn’t know the top lock was locked. I put my foot against the glass, but it didn’t open. Suddenly, CRASH! My knee went through the glass. I cried. When I saw the blood trickling down my leg, I screamed like mad. I was afraid. Then my grandma quickly came because she heard the smash. She thought that I smashed the door by accident. “Stupid Girl” she called up to me. She saw me then took me to the hospital. I nearly got stitches. I don’t like stitches.

The Eyes by Louis

I lazily lumbered in to my room to get my pj’s. They were waiting on my bunk bed.

I carefully climbed up my bunk slide and I placed my hand on my pj’s.

Suddenly a cold shiver went up my spine. I felt like I was being watched by a thousand tiny eyes. I turned around and screamed. I thought my teddies had real eyes.

I jumped off the top of my bunk onto the tramp, and ran desperately into my mum and dad’s room. I leapt onto their bed and rolled myself under the covers. I felt like I was safe.  

Tower of Terror: A Time I was scared by Hanne

The lights flickered off. We waited in the dark, then we heard a click. Suddenly we rushed backwards through a pitch black tunnel. The sound was like thunder echoing around us.

“Wait, what was that big tower we saw when we came into Dreamworld?” I asked my dad.

“The tower we are about to go up.” He shouted back to me.

“What?” I screamed. Then we came outside and the tower got closer and closer.

Then we went up the tower backwards up to the top and hung there.

“Oh no, what goes up, must come down” I screamed as we went down, down, down…

Back into the tunnel.

I thought to myself, I want to do that again!

I cried over spilt milk by Gretel

¨Ow, ow, ow!!!¨ I scream.

Mum comes rushing in looking tired.

¨What’s happened¨ she asks with a with worry in her voice.

¨Tessa spilt her milk all over the floor¨ I say in between sobs, ¨I slipped on it and banged my head on the edge of that wall.¨

I am clutching my head like it was the most important thing to me. I slowly take my hands off my head, adjusting to the pain. I wince at the huge pain it is giving me. As my hands finally reach the side of my body I see a flicker of red on my hand, I look more closely. It’s blood!
