Ollie the Octopus - Meg McKay and Sarah Whitmore

Character: octopus
Plastic surgery
At cross roads
Glowing mirror

One day down in the sea there was a octopus called Ollie. He was a very nice octopus, he liked to swim around the ocean. He didn’t have any friends because they thought that he was ugly. He was not the usual octopus he had nine tentacles his eyes were like a humans and he had freakishly weird glasses. He was not the usual colour an octopus would be, he was bright green!!! He also attracted sharks because he glowed in the dark sea water. So he thought why doesn’t he get plastic surgery? So he drove in his yellow sumerin, yellow sumerin, yellow sumerine. He went past the shop, under the seaweed, over the sand castle, and through the cross roads. At the end of the swimming lane he saw the octo-clinic. He saw a big a big glowing mirror, glowing back at him. In the surgery room there were a lot of ig objects that he had never seen before. He was very nervous. He felt like running out when he saw the needle. They gave Ollie an injection. As soon as they gave him the injection he fell asleep. The doctors started tacking Ollies ninth leg off and putting false eyes instead of the humans eyes. They also took the glow out of him. He had to go back and forth to the octo- clinic for two weeks. Past the shop, under the seaweed, over the sand castle and through the cross roads, day after day. In the end he did not like his new self. Infact he hated himself, but everyone else loved his new look. They thought it was fab. So now Ollie has a lot of new friend s. He is very happy. But there is still one thing wrong……………….. he is GREEN!!!

And what’s worse is that our house is –literally- in the middle of nowhere no neighbours or anything at least I can see through my window. My idea of a fantastic holiday is reading making things and sleeping well my stepfather Mark had better ideas he said we had to go camping so that’s what were doing right now going camping
At least there’s no bears or snakes or wolfs in Taupo that’s where were going. Oh fresh air felt sooo GOOD well that is after being in a car with 7 other people we had just gotten to the camping site and already Gemma was calling her friends, Max was calling his girlfriend, Rosie had a bleeding nose, Alex, Josh and David were fighting over who got to sleep in the middle and Katie had decided to become a cat so Mum an Mark were trying to get her down from a tree, me with nothing to do I decided to go in to the woods for something to do. I ran back to the campsite everybody was asleep they must of figured I had gone off exploring I had made a fantastic discovery-a pool! Not like Moana pool in Dunedin this was a big blue lagoon surrounded by palm trees I woke everybody up but they just told me to go away and that they were trying to sleep
Even though it was only 5 pm! But mum came out and asked me what was going on and I told her to change into her togs and follow me then I got changed and sure enough mum had her togs on then we ran off into the woods together “oooo it’s beautiful” mum exclaimed as she gingerly took tiny steps into the clear, sparkling water “it’s a hot spring” mum said in surprise then mum picked me up and whirled m around and at that moment everything seemed perfect.

They turned around and ran back to the cage so they would not get caught. The manager jumped out of the blue and gave them a fright he went to pick them up through them into the cage and drove, them to the pound because the manager didn’t want them any more and the animals started to cry. But the manager didn’t care he just walked out the door and didn’t bother coming back. The monkeys and chimp got put into a cage and stared talking to other animals and started to make new friends. And they lived, happily ever after.

The Deep Well - William Pelet

“Wow! Look, there is a well, I never knew it was there,” says Charlie. “Neither did I,” replies his best friend David who was going on a long bike ride with him. Charlie suddenly says, "when we arrive back home, I could ask my Mum if we can explore it.” David then commented sarcastically, “yeah right.”

When Charlie arrives home he asks his mother the question. Charlie’s mother of course said no, being an overly protective mother.

The next day Charlie is walking to school with David talking about the well. Charlie told David his mother had said no. David suggested, “we could sneak out at night.” Charlie replied, “maybe.”

Just when the school bell rang Charlie sent a note to David that read…. Be at the well at 1 am.

That night at 1:01 am Charlie was at the well waiting for David.

29 minutes later…..

David finally arrives. Charlie said in an angry voice, “ you are late by 30 minutes!” "Sorry, slept in a bit,” David replies.

Charlie pulls a rope and a torch out of his backpack. "David you go down first.” “No way you go down first!” Charlie replies, "David’s a chicken, pok pok pok !” David gives in with a sigh.

Charlie begins to lower in David who comments, "this feels like being in a giant snake." David suddenly hits the bottom. He yells, "pass the torch down!" Charlie throws the torch. Charlie immediately runs over to the nearest tree and ties the rope around so they can get back up. He starts to climb down.

At the bottom Charlie and David turn on the torch and start to explore. David who held the torch yelled, “look there is a secret passage way!” Charlie came running over. “Lets go exploring!" When they had walked down the passage way they entered a small room and saw an ivory tusk sitting on a small tower. David started to sprint over but Charlie yelled, “stop there might be bobby traps!”

Charlie picks up a small pebble that is in sight and chucks it at the ivory tusk which falls to the floor. Nothing happens, all is quiet. They run over and pick it up. “Awwwwesome!” They both say together.
They explore the room. Charlie yells excitedly. “Hey, look there is another secret passage, this could be our way home!"

They have been walking through the tunnel for ages. They finally see light and run full throttle towards it.

When they reached the end of the tunnel with the treasure safely in their backpack, they see a train. The driver shouted, “do you want a ride home?” Both Charlie and David were surprised and replied, “but we don’t have any tickets!” The driver then told them this is the last train home and it doesn’t really matter. David and Charlie hopped on board with a grateful thank you!
