Mystery Story

Thud…………….. then a deafening blood curdling scream. I lie in my bed to scared  to get out,  about ten minutes after I finally pick up my courage and get out of bed slowly and quietly I walk to the stairs and I look down… I can't believe my eyes I was unsure of what to do, Slowly I walk down the stairs just looking I must have been there for about half an hour and then dad comes to the top of the stairs he runs to her, gives her one look and runs to the phone while he’s talking, tears trickle down his face all I hear is “yes, were 84 Kate rd” she’s lying down blood on her face, blood on her arms her legs, she was dead my mum was dead. A tear ran down my cheek followed by more and more. I look up oh no Max my brother whose 12 ,Haley ten and Jess six are looking down at mum, her blue eyes twinkle, her brown hair flows across her body, her face is red, red with blood. I look up again they are crying.

Silence stayed in the room until Jess sobbed

“ what happened to mummy?”

Dad signals to come down here, there we were in a group hug. Knock,knock dad scattered to the door the police come in Max, Haley ,Jess and I went upstairs I told  Max, Haley and Jess what had happened. Then I got called down stairs by police .

“Well all I heard was a thud and a stream of my mums I stayed in my room for about 10 minutes before I came down stairs then I just stood there, I just couldn't move then Dad comes in”

“Well it looks like the the murder took with whatever he/she hit your mum with,” said Sargent Blaketon

I nod. I watch them exam the body and a man comes in with a suitcase he's the forensic person and he quietly says I think it from a screw driver, then he gets closer and has a closer look as I go up stairs and he says It looks like it from a… and I didn't hear. I start writing who hates my mum I work on it for ages and all I can come up with is tuffy the next door neighbors dog. I go back down stairs it's 4am, I go down to dad and see that the police is still here I go stand by dad and once again I start crying I start trying to say

“dad what are we going to do now” he sighs and shrugs

“I don't know Leah, I don't know.” Why don’t you go to bed like Max,Haley and Jess. I do.

I wake up at 7:00 and go down stairs dads down their drinking his flat white. Max comes downstairs followed by Haley and Jess we sit down

dad says ok we're moving to Wellington I open my mouth I scream no I can't I will lose my friends, I will lose being in the top hockey team the top football team and will not be able to dance at my studio anymore.  Dad sights it's better for the family. I breath out haaaaaa my life is ruined!!

Then Max blurts out HAVE THEY FOUND THE MURDER I sigh,

Haley says I loved mum is that not although

Jess sights I wish she was here.

Why Why Why I say!

Dad sights they're still figuring it out. “Ok so we have to get out of the house so they can try find the murder, after they are done with the house we will move to Wellington, and I have told the school and however needs to know about us moving, so until we can touch anything we are going to a hotel so go pack some clothes and I will pack food and then we are off to the hotel. He grabs a plastic bag and takes it to the washing machine.

We all go upstairs and pack after I've finished I go into dads room to ask if he wants any help but there he was with a crowbar, with blood on it, it was dry blood I turn back then dad says I warn you Leah I warn you! I run but I can't even breath my mouth is watering my eyes are going red. What do I do? I ran to Jess’s room there she was crying in a little bundle I ran to her and give her a hug then I see it, her doll her favorite doll is hanging by rope I take a breath then take her hand we move into Haley room there she was her eyes red… and there was her teddy bears head I take their hands I go to Max's room and he was there keeping his tears tucked away. Dad would have done this when I was packing I thought.

It was dad he says I nod I know, we need to  really quickly go to the police I say as we are running to the stairs.

We run down the stairs and there he was at the top of the stairs,

Max says “we know it was you daddy.”

He replied with a grin yes Yes I killed your Mum …  now it's your turn to be lying on the floor” “I warned you Leah I did warn you didn't I”, We all scream he has the crowbar in his hand he starts to run, we run but Jess is not fast enough he grabs her and says hahaha and lifts up the crowbar everyone screams the door slams open the police are there holding up guns dad freezes they say drop the weapon, he doesn't Jess looks at him and in an instant she bites him he screams a little then Jess runs he swings at her and get her in the ribs I scream she screams I look at her just like mum her eyes were watering, her blue eyes twinkled and her blond hair swirls it like the world has gone to slow motion she falls to the ground screaming dad lifts up the crowbar again and he's aiming for her head at last minute a gunshot is fired right in the leg he falls. Jess stays where she is she can't move she is in awful pain I run to her I say it's alright and I give a hug. Dads is in handcuffs I asked the police how they knew and they said in mums fingernail there was a little bit of dads hair, we have been looking for your dad quit a while he broke out of jail and then he dyed his hair and did other thing to prevent us knowing who he is, I ask dad why and he said I never liked no one it was to help me to go undercover so the police wouldn't know but it got too much I hated living here. My plan would have worked if it wasn't for you. After all these years 14 years he has been acting all goody good, all lovey but he is just a murder a stuck up man who users people in a in stink I kick him in the face and yes I can kick that high I am a dancer.We go to the hospital with Jess she has a crushed a rib so we might be here for a while.

Dad's in jail and were living at my aunt's, Jess is better It's has been hard getting over the things that have happened we are left with no mum or dad I am now the mum basically I do everything for them as my aunt works full time and my uncle is away at the moment. So this has happened but I'm focusing on the future not the past.

Squash

Squash

“Got the food Zara” “yes i've got it  “ok let's get going or we will be late” “ i'm coming”.

Waching Mum and dad play all those years. Just  watching them hit the ball on the wall. Why are there red lines everywhere, what are they for?

Years go past of watching this game called squash, oh I do want to play… I get on the court with a racket and a ball, Swing and a miss. Yayyyy, Yayyy three times in a row I like this game called squash it makes me feel bubbly inside. “Can I play squash Mum” “of course you can”. Down I go to the squash court hit the ball to Toby then me Toby then me, learning how to serve getting coaching by Mum getting tips from dad, Toby saying “that was out, that's no fair” but I think it is fair.

15- 13 match ball… as I get my first win, a real game, in a tournament. J4,J3 as I go up the grades, J4,J3 as Toby goes up the grades. B2,B1 as Mum goes up the grades C1,B2 as Dad goes up the grades. Tahlia and Jade have a hit and by that I mean playing hockey with a squash ball and a racket. Every week getting better J2 for me, J2 for Toby, Tahlia can hit the ball, Jade can play squash hockey.

“Got your gear Zara” “yes i've got it  “ok let's get going or you will be late” “ i'm coming”.

as months past Im J1, Tobys J2, Mums B2 and injured,Dad stops playing and Tahlia and Jade will get there one day. Mum and Dad are pulling mussels, getting injured and coaching us. Mum and Dad watch us play now.  They still play but not as much. I play Heaps, Toby play heaps, Mum whenever she can, dad whenever he can and Tahlia and Jade play when there's a free court!

We are a squash family and that's what we are. In the future you will see our kids will play. We will carry on our squash playing as a family. You feel strong as one family like you can achieve anything. We are the squash family!

The Lost Thing

The Lost Thing

I wake up to a bang from next door, I quickly put my clothes on and shoes and run out the door to the workshop.  I let out a little scream of frustration when I step into the workshop. Oil is everywhere pieces of metal are everywhere , but worse of all I don't know where mapily is. Then I hear a scream then another and another so I guess it wasn't so hard to find him.

I run out of the workshop and follow the screams down one street to a next street to a next street! Then I see mapily I see his sparkling red spikes. I shout MAPILY, MAPILY, MAPILY but the wind snatchers my voice away. Puffed and exhausted, I finally get to Mapilys feet. I grab the lead out of my bag and the mini trampoline out then I say “stay” and I start jumping and trying to put the lead on his neck. YAY I yell as the lead tangles round Mapilys neck. We stroll back to the workshop and I say “Mapilly why did you do this, why did you run away” he makes a unsure sound.

I say “why Mapily” ... he pulls out flowers from one off his doors “No... no flowers” I look at Mapily, Mapily is a red spiky “thing” with heaps of doors in him he has 3 green legs on each side and green arms and he is 11m oh and by “thing” I mean robot.  I am the Little man standing in front of Mapily my invention, I am a short, brown haired and not the best looking! I am really skinny and I hardly ever eat as I'm alway working on a new invention or planning a new invention. I look at Mapily he is now holding a banner that says sorry. I laugh “I’ll go get you some food” Mapily smiles with his eyes as he has no mouth.

“Is that better I say” as Mapily gobbles up piece of metal. He nods. Then Mapily goes to the corner of the workshop and I start cleaning up the oil and metal. Ahhhhh I said when I'm done tidying.Mapily stands up and hold a banner that says “I ran away cos me lonely “. I sigh loudly as mapily holds up another banner that says “Are you angry?” I laugh.

Clashing and clanging, banging and rattling I work away at my new invention I call him Wobbles. Wobbles and Mapily are the greatest friends. They laugh and play. Mapily does not run away. I am working on a new invention the robfoodanater it makes food for Mapily and Wobble that is healthy and nutritious.

Mapily and Wobbles are really happy and they hopefully will be happier ever after in the workshop, and confidently they will be friends for ever. Oh and for me well let's hope that I with become a billionaire… The End

Matariki explanation

Matariki is a New Zealand celebration where you celebrate the New Year and the new season.Matariki is around June, which also is around the shorted day of the year. This is a really important part of the year.

Matariki is another name for a Pleiades or a star cluster that Maori people call the seven sisters.  They are 7 bright stars that are clear and bright.

We celebrate Matariki by spending time with family or by going to a festival. Also some people sleep under the stars and in Hawkes Bay we do fireworks. Most people celebrate with music ,dance, food and family.  In traditional times maori acknowledged remembrance, fertility and celebration. There is debate about whether matariki should be a public holiday as it's a really important part of our culture.

We use Matariki as a time guide so we know when to plant crops.  Farmers planted crops were planted according to if the stars were clear and bright it was a sign that a favourable and productive season lay ahead.

Matariki is a really important part of our culture.

Scootering in school should be band

Scootering in school should be band

I think scootering in schools should not be aloud. Its dangerous and not the best thing to have at school.  Do you want to get hit?

First of all scootering in schools is dangerous to other children. Children will wize past, and there will be a kid there and the scooter will hit the kid. People will get hurt even adults. Kids can't control shooters really well  and they will lose control they will the reason that people get hurt.

Scooter will dominate the school and none would be able to do what they're doing like playing netball, a group scooters will go in and wreak the game. where ever you go you will be in the way of the scooters or the scooter in the way of you.  Also scooters need concret but so does netball,basketball and lots of other things. Scooters can't just take over the school.

Scootering is a dangerous sport because no one on a scooter wears any safety gear. If they don't wear safety gear they will hurt themselves while doing tricks. The children will hurt themselves heaps. Also children will do tricks like swinging the scooter around your head or around your ankles.  I know scootering to school is a fast way to get to school but there is other ways like biking

Over all I think scootering in schools should not be aloud and those were some of my reasons why.

A treacherous phase

A treacherous phase

I was there and so were there bending over, my muddy legs  feeling another cough coming up my throat then a cough from him then from him and back to me every time we caught our chest pounding

I was walking, feeling mud squishing around my shoes walking away trying to get to a safe place waiting for someone to call my name

There were walking, walking like a person how has hypothermia taking each step getting closer to falling as they left their feet up  they have no shoes just waiting to fall they are had bleeding facers then they fall in gas

ahhh gas watch out ahh help what can we do what can we do get away ahh help

GAS MACS straggling trying to get a gas mask I look around everyone is doing the same try to go as fast as you can go reaching for the mask,GOT IT ON I look around is struggling one is still struggling  the gas going in the lungs

As the gas gets thick and goes more of a green colour I can only see the shadows of my mates I can't see anyone what do I do

Then I see a shadow coming towards coughing and coughing I look at him I can't do anything he helpless He going to died I looked at him he was purple

It was bad what I saw coughing up blood Why does this happen? I dragged  him out  hoping he wouldn't die then I heard a thank you then silent…..  I look around and there was a pale face purple hands purple legs.

Then blood come out of his mouth and mucus trying to stop the purple human the sound its disgusting it doesn't sound right.

So you will now be saying what a great person you are to dye fight for you country war is not the answer the people die in front of you behind you everywhere War is not something you should not be proud of. Do you want to go to war?

The boredom poem

 

In this poem I tryed to make the poem go slow so you felt how bored I would have been.

The boredom of watching

Your brother play football.

Waiting for the high pitch whistle

to start the game.

Hoping i'll see a friend

walking around.

“Please can hockey to be

the same time”.

As the years go past

hockey is a different day.

slowly and slowly

waiting to go.

Sitting on the footballs

or leaning on mums shoulder

Dad on the field being the ref

wall jades on his back.

The wet grass

makes well a fresh smell

Begging mum for a hot chocolate

waiting for the horrid no.

As the years go past

the football get better and exciting.

Wounding why it was

so bad.

Sometimes I still die of boredom

but not as much as I did before.

Bug man

What I learnt from the bug man!

That poisonous frogs eat poisonous ants to get extra poisonous protection.

That seeds came from insects and birds poo.

That sloths are really slow because there only eat 1 leaf a day because if the eat more they die

That insects are actually REALLY important

That if we didn't have bugs we would have no fruit or veg on our plate and we would even find it hard to get meat because the animals eat the glass and the bugs make the grass healthy.

 

I am from

I  am From

I am from

from the childhood that

has a beat going

with my feet moving around  

the counting of 5,6,7,8

I am from

the back flips

the sore backs

I am from

the running around type

the not stopping type

the rolling around type

I am from the wet hair type

the freestyle

the jumps

the smell of chlorine

I am from

the 321 do it

the ahhhhhhh

from the glory of doing it

I used to be from the past now I'm leading into the future
