My Red Riding Hood Play!
Big Bad Wolf: All the better to EAT you with!!
Red Riding Hood: AAAHH!
Narrator: Luckily there was a wood-cutter near, because he came running!
Wood-Cutter: Get away from her!
Narrator: The Wood-Cutter attacked the wolf and cut the grandmother out from the wolf’s tummy.
All: THE END!!!
Grandma - Leyla
Bird - Charlie
Hedgehog - Sam
Red Riding Hood - Isabella
Big Bad Wolf - Michael
Narrator - Leyla
Wood-cutter: Charlie
Narrator: Once upon a time there was a little girl, walking through the woods.
Red Riding Hood: Hello!!!
Big Bad Wolf: Where are you off to?
Red Riding Hood: I’m going to my grandma’s house!
Narrator: On her way to her grandmother’s house, she met the wolf again, and was told to go to a flower patch. And so she did.
Red Riding Hood: What pretty flowers! I could stay and pick for hours! But I have to go to grandma’s!
Bird: Hello Little Red Riding Hood! How are you?
Red Riding Hood: I’m alright. I’m just on my way to grandma’s house. That kind wolf showed me these flowers!
Bird: Keep away from the wolf, he’s a liar! To eat you is his desire.
Red Riding Hood: Alright, Mister Bird! Although that sounds quite absurd!
Hedgehog: Why, hello there, you two! May I interest you in some berries for your grandmother?
Red Riding Hood: Yes please, thank you!
Narrator: A while later the Big Bad Wolf had made it to Grandma’s house. He had decided to eat grandma, and then Red Riding Hood!
Big Bad Wolf: Open up, grandma!
Grandma: No! I know your little tricks!
Big Bad Wolf: Fine!
(Big Bad Wolf breaks through the door)
Grandma: Ahhh!
Narrator: And the wolf proceeded to get in Grandma’s dressing gown, wig, and glasses, then hopped in bed just in time for Little Red Riding Hood.
Red Riding Hood: Hello Grandma! I brought you some snacks!
Big Bad Wolf: Come in dearie!
Red Riding Hood: Oh, Grandma! What big eyes you have!
Big Bad Wolf: All the better to see you with!
Red Riding Hood: What big teeth you have!

Is Mr Wolf Guilty of First Degree Murder?
Is Mr Wolf Guilty of First Degree Murder?
Firstly, the Big Bad Wolf is guilty because he dressed up as grandma to try and eat Red Riding Hood. But it is the Big Bad Wolf's Instinct though. But instead of eating grandma why did he not eat a squirrel or something else? Another reason why I also think he's guilty is because he broke an Entrance into Grandma's house without permission.
Secondly, He locked grandma up in the closet. Why did he not just stay at the door and wait for Red Riding Hood to tell her that it was not her grandma because she was acting strange because he didn't let her in? instead of pretending to be grandma?
Lastly, animals can not go to jail and it's his Instinct to eat meat, but Red Riding Hood is not hurt in any way and same with grandma. So what do you think? Should The Big Bad Wolf be in jail? Or should he not?

Fluffy The Cat!
This is a story that I made for my Mum, and for my cat that died.
Fluffy the cat lived in a little fox hole, it was under a medium tree for shelter. Fluffy is a ginger cat with soft fur like a cloud.
One day it was raining and Fluffys house caved in, so he went to another tree and he saw a little girl.
Her name was Belle and she had light brown hair and light brown eyes. She was wearing a light pink t-shirt with light blue shorts. Fluffy went up to the little girl to make her warm.
Fluffy was picked up and he got a large hug from Belle. As Fluffy closed his eyes, he fell asleep in Belles arms. When Fluffy woke up it was still raining? But he was under shelter? But it was not the tree?
After a while,
Fluffy realised he was no longer at the tree. He was at a house. Belle lived all by herself. The house had dark blue walls and grey carpet. It also had a brick roof.
Belle lived all by herself because her parents went to Auckland and they never came back. Fluffy thought that Belle ran away from an orphanage but no. Now Fluffy is Belles pet.
Belle went to pick up Fluffy, when an idea popped up in Belles head. Fuffy! (Fluffy looked up at Belle) we are going to find my parents!
A bus to Auckland! Fluffy and Belle snuck onto the bus, they travelled for ages. Then Fluffy and Belle realised that they had a lot of looking to do.
So Fluffy and Belle went to the police and they said that Belle got lost and so we came here. So the police called Belles Mum and Dad and the police said that they would be here soon.
Then after they got home, Belles parents let her keep Fluffy and they lived happily ever after.
The End.
Cats Vs Dogs!

My Olympic Games Sun Mascot.
In class we are learning about Olympic mascots. My class and me all made a mascot. Except we did not do it on a piece of paper. We drew it on chrome canvas. Chrome canvas is like drawing on a piece of paper except it is on your chromebook. We had to draw it about our country, so that it could represent a country. I also found it challenging to colour in the background blue because it took me ages. My favourite part was her wavy sunraisers. Next time I would change it to a Kiwi because it is one of our most Popular native birds.
I chose a sun becasue New Zealand is the first to se the sunrise.
