Netball Tournament

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.

Spooky Presented By Chance & Magdalen

Spooky

In a galaxy far far away there was a big beautiful house in the woods. It was a misty and dark night where thunder, lightning, gloom and doom were all that you could hear.

You could also hear ghosts making creepy whispers in the night, and there was a witch who was making spooky laughter in the darkened room.

There were 2 little kids named Chance and Magdalen who were frightened of the sounds coming from the haunted house. So they shut their eyes and held on tight.

They opened the door and saw some crumbling steps and creaking doors. In side they saw screeching witches and snarling cats.

They looked to their right and saw ghost coming out of the floor and hissing snakes and flapping bats.

In front of them a skeleton with toothy grin appeared and started chasing them. Then they ran as fast as they could but he was gaining fast.

While they were running Count Dracula poked out of his coffin and scared them. They ran out the door. PHEW, safe at last.

They did not queue up for another look, instead they disappeared into the air.
