Kaniere Flames got burned

Early saturday morning the Kaniere Flames were at Westland High School netball courts practicing drills for their challenging game of netball against St Marrys.As the game started Nikita Towers got aggresively pushed to the ground and not skinnned both her knees.Not long after that Jorja Schroder lost her grip and slipped over.As the half time whistle screached in everybodys ears.The Kaniere Flames were determined to get a goal.The team ran back onto the court and the coach's anxious face melted as they scored their first two goals."Go Kaniere" yelled the spectators at the fantastic team but St Marrys over powered them again.The Kaniere team gritted their teeth and played with determination to win the game.The girls were not very happy as they went  up in smoke and lost 29-2

Netball

On a early saturday morning the kaniere flames were at the Westland High school netball courts, warming up for some action.
their competition was st’marys magic. It was time for the cheer “you need a little more practice”(: said the coach. But the team was already evacuating the sideline to the 
treacherous court. “PING” the whistle screeched through every bodies ears.
The crowd went SILENT as Kaniere Flames shot goals in like a rocket over and over again.
The other team was overpowered by kaniere and flames hope to come back in sparks for their next game.

THREE MINUTE STORY

(This is a three minute story, everybody wrote one about a pic of a car doing a jump over a canyon.)

The old car rumbled along when SUDDENLY!!! I looked up down and the rough massive rocks where like ants bellow, the rusty old car wheels.
Howing wind was racing past my window, as the sun glazed the rusty bonnet.
Right now I agree with everyone else that i am exstremely crazy.

Matthew Tree Poem




Trees swaying in the winter fleeing wind. 
The naked tree stands alone and broken hearted. 
The ember leaves burn the frozen hearth. 
The mother tree stands old and broken.
The fathers time has time past. The stump that once stood tall and proud,
is now covered with a misty shroud. 
Poet: Matthew 

my room


As I walk into my musty room to my left 5 big boxes towering over me like a skyscraper.To my right a polished wooden door. By the boxes a wonky wardrobe. In front of me a big blue bed like the Tardis. Old orange cars left to rust in the bowl of water. Some video games that haven’t been played in a decade. The wardrobe grins at me like a monster. Broken cd player that used to boom music out all day long. Leaving my room in horror I stop it’s time to go. That's my room

Flying Car Chase


The Flying Car Chase
By Matthew
I'm driving up the ramp, “woo” I yell. I am in the world's first flying car. The wheels turn on their sides ,fire bursts out of the wheels. “I am a true crazy driver ”I say when I land. “Woo old jumpy rust-bucket actually flew,” says Jarred.

“I told you I would build it,” I say. “Next stop crazy town”. “Nah man”.  “I will perfect it some more soon. It will be the most beautiful car in the world." 

 Later at my garage. “Hey man now what does it look like?” I yell over the clanking noises. “OH MY GOD,” says Jarred. “Looks like an angel aye?”  ”Oh yes” “I'll add some wings and a rota-blade.  THE TV FLICKERS ON “Latest news report a couple of downtown bad-boys named Jarred curb and Max viola have been playing with tech out of our reach police reports that they will take it and use force if necessary”. “Oh my god” I say. “lets get out of here says jarred. “Okay time to get serious” I say. I pull out my techno-sword. “Take the invisible boosters as well” I say. We load in food , water, laptops and lots of supplies. “alright playtimes over” I say as I press a button a turret come out as well as a rotar and rockets out the back. I equip my techno medium bulletproof armour so I can climb and run fast. Jarred put on heavy armour and a large techno sword we load in all the food we and supplies we can carry. I go get my brothers and sister by the way my brothers names are Tom ,and  David my sisters name is Bethany. The top of the garage opens it is dead night I switch in the invisible booster just in case I equip my brothers and sisters with armour and daggers. The car starts to hover we all load in I hear sirens. “GRAB EVERYTHING NOW WE HAVE TO GO”I screeched. We grab remaining food and supplies Bethany stumbles and falls on the ground the car is flying now “get in” yells Jarred. I grab Bethany and throw her to the car then I jump up to it. “ STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW. We zoom away. “Phew finally safe”
I say. “No were not!!!!!!!” screams Jarred. “Take the wheel  , ill take the turret” I say none of them stops me I jump up to the turret two apaches “THREE WEPOUN SYSTEYMS AVALIBLE LIGHT GUN , HEAVY GUNS AND HEAT SEEKING MISSLES.” I press the heavy gun “GOOD CHOSING “says computer. But first a missle flies at the car. “AHHHHHHH ” we all yell.

cavan's volcanoes


The volcano spit’s it’s lava out like a cut artery. The volcano burt’s itself like an explosion.The volcano is as hot as a heat ray melting a snowman in the snow.The lava flow’s like a endless stream.the lava spirts out like wild fire.I run for my life as I fear it’s over for good.The lava burns you like a bbq. Melted rocks fly throw the air like fireworks. Volcanoes spit it’s lava like a heart pumping blood.The volcano throws it’s lava like it’s throwing up.

Pen-pals Fredrike

My pen-pals name is Fredrike, and so this is the letter I wrote to her.  :)

               Superbowl!
“Of you go”, says Annette. As Murphy and I near the bowl we sing whistle by Flo Rida. As we enter the bowl I freak out because we are heading to the edge. Luckily we don’t. We fall into a hole in the middle. “It’s not over yet!”, I yell. When we reach the end we get drenched in water.

Next I move onto the hydroslide. As I near the beginning I say to myself, “Ohh, my old enemy, stairs”, so I run up the stairs. Um what to choose out of the normal, or the black hole. Blackhole for sure. “Woh”.

As I slip down the slide I think to myself “I’m going to the lazy river”.  As I reach the end I see light and again I get pounded with water. I’m sick of this I say to myself I see Andrew walking around with a towel wrapped around him, but I’m too clogged up with water to bother.



                             Lazy River

 I jump into the lazy river and try to walk clockwise but I get swept back down stream. “Hey Cameron want to do Man vs Wild?”
“Okay man”,  Cameron replied. 
 Nearly there.
“Come on Cameron, I’m coming”. Done! I’m getting dressed

     The Common Crab

     Hi, have you ever wanted to know what the name of the crab is that is biting you?
It is called a common crab. Let me tell you about it.
                         Where it lives
The common crab mostly lives under rocks, behind mud piles, but when it moves, or is under attack, it blends into the ground. That is one of its defence moves.

                            Appearance                              
An average common crab is about 60 cm. The legs are 10 cm long. Its eyes stick out 2 cm long. It uses its eyes for looking around rocks. When it feels threatened it hides under rocks.
                                   Diet
The common crab likes to eat sand hoppers,shrimp and dead seagulls.If they are desperate they go into shallow water for sea slugs. 

                          Predators
Seagulls are the most common bird to eat the crab. Sometimes the seagull is of target and crash’s and dies, for the crab to eat.

Fun facts:
The scientific name for crab is Brachyura. Crabs like to bite you. If it does, poke it in the eye and it will let go.
In conclusion they are good at surviving.

  Starfish

Do you know what an Asteroid is? 

It is the scientific name for a starfish. Starfish are marine animals, which live in salty waters, they have many different names such as a sea star an asteroid a starfish and an Echinoderm.  

APPEARANCE

Starfish can be from five to forty arms they aren’t all the same because Echinoderms can be any colour of the rainbow. If sea stars get hurt or loose an arm in a few weeks it will grow back, they can do it because they are regeneration that means a formation of a new organ or a lost part. Starfish do not have any eyes, but do have an eye spot on the end of each arm, eye spots are heaps of tiny cells that have formed together and made an eye spot, star fish are able to see if it is light or dark but can’t see shapes clearly.

DIET

Echinoderms are deadly predators to sea urchins, oysters, sea snails and mussels. Starfish are scavengers. Their predators are sharks the sun and sea birds. Sea stars mouths are a little bit down from the middle of them. They also have two stomachs and sea stars aren’t are not picky eaters.

HABITAT

Echinoderms are marine animals that live in salty waters and in tide pools, were the splash zone enters. If you turn a sea star over you will sea the fifteen thousand feet also known as suction pads, attached to the bottom of them, so they can cement themselves onto to hard rocks.

FACTS

Even though starfish are called starfish they are not a fish because they do NOT have fins, scales
or gills, because they do not have gills have you ever wondered how they breath, well starfish have breathing holes at the end of each arm, and they also have breathing tubes although their bodies.
Starfish are in the Phylum Echinodermata family, so that means they are related to the sand dollars.

Monday morning

Bird’s gossip, door’s slam shut, a TV chat’s. As my eye’s sluggishly flutter open. Silence is destroyred by the thunder of footstep’s. I lethargically ignore. “ Lydia, wake up “, Mum’s command dances around the room as I charge down the hallway to my breakfast that was purched in a streak of sunlight spying through the window, I gulp down my dry’ed toast. Then my arm’s sluggishly flop into my clothes, As my toothbrush crawl’s across my teeth.

I peer across to see Caitlin still half asleep “ oh get over it Caitlin” my voice screeches, as I wander into my bedroom a carpet of crinkled clothes lies in the middle of the floor, I ignore as Caitlin and I make our way to the dusty car. Country side fly’s past on the way to school on a frosty morning.

Holly's ghost story

Ghosts are real

Once upon a time i was looking in my cupboard and i found some old pictures of myself when i was little. I got the pictures out and scanned them trying to remember when it was, then in the corner of the blurry picture and there i saw with my own eyes a pale lifeless ghost my heart slowed down and then stopped i thought "don't worry Holly i'm just hallucinating" i said to myself.I closed my eyes and slapped myself lightly, i opened my eyes and it was still there. A minute later i fainted.I saw nothing but pitch black darkness,after a while i opened my eyes and a ball of bright sunlight hit me through the crack in the curtains. From that day on i promise to never take a picture ever again.

Hi, it's Judd here, just going to up date my profile :) 20th of June

Dangerous Driver

                       Dangerous Driver

The day flew like an arrow for me.I saw the small crack in the canyon and asked a friend for help.I had a plan to make me famous,but it did not work out.Heres my plan.Get a ramp,get a buggy and get to the other side of  the canyon.I was nervous and I wanted my friend to do it.I reversed the buggy to the edge of the cliff and waited. READY,SET,GO!!! Yelled my friend Preston.I Sliced through the wind like a bullet, up the ramp and into the air.I felt like a free man but something made my heart sink.The ramp,it broke.The buggy was flying straight into the side of the canyon but out of nowhere a plane came right underneath him and lifted him up.He had made it to the other side of the canyon.As soon as he got to the other side the plane immediately blew up.His plan had worked.Soon postcards and e-mails were rolling in.A while later he had huge crowds around him.From then on he stayed happy for life.

Three Minutes Writing Preston

If only I had

If only I had a rollercoaster in my backyard. I would name it speed demon. I wish it could travel 250mph. I would sell tickets for $10. It would have rocket launches on the back, There would be 7 corkscrews, 8 loop the loop's, 17 twists and turns. You will face your fear of putting your feet in tar. Only the craiziest will servive. Are you daring enough to complete the challenge 

Netball Report


Kaniere Ferns lose again!

On Saturday 18 May Kaniere Ferns and St Maris Diamonds warmed upon the netball courts at the WHS for the second game of the season.

Although it was a glacial morning the crowd on the sidelines kept expanding throughout the display, all trying to get into a good space to survey the show.

The gathered crowd held their breath for most of the game as it was very close. But sadly Kaniere Ferns lost with a score of 5-8.
