Hairless trees bare their rotten teeth as they moan amongst the forest.
Mud puddles shiver to the sound of a wolf's howl.
Swamps swallow toads that travel on lilypads.
The wind whistles as owls think of their faith.
Endangered animals shout out to the forest.
Cursing humans for their loss.
Animals scream while clinging to moanful trees before humans take them away.

100 Years Ago
Sometimes I wonder. What happened 100 years ago? Did flowers even grow? Did giant spiders rule the earth? Well, we all know that what I said is not true. So what really happened was people walking all day with overalls and brown suits. But seriously, they only had radios but no T.V. I'm so glad that I live in the 2000's.
If not I would have been bored. They didn't have Lamborghinis (cars) back then. Why? People would have been smarter than that. I mean Einstien would have invented the Sony ps3
if it wasn't for his old age. You know clothes back then were just like caveman rags. Seems like it was a billion years ago. MARIO WEARS OVERALLS NOT PEOPLE! Even though I love living in the 2000's sometimes technology can be such a pain. But if a genie came from nowhere and told you you get one wish, just because you sometimes hate technology, don't say "I wanna live with the caveman forever. DONT! Because trust me, you will want to be coming back. If Thomas Edison was here now he would invent the: Rocket launcher, the time machine and loads more. But too bad for Thomas's age, now we can't. So Someone has to invent something and be the main character for once. The show of wrestling called WWE (World wrestling entertainment). That show debut in like the 1920's, I mean who would ever do wrestling back then? Sure, who ever invented it was AMAZING! But I still would have been born in the 2000's! THE END!

The Eagle Helicoptor Has Landed
As we went outside, we could hear the blades of the helicoptor spinning round and round as it was getting closer.
We couldn't see it but the noise was getting closer.
Finally we could all see the electronic Blue Eagle Helicoptor as it was flying.
My heart was pounding as if a cheetah was racing.
I was terrified that if it was going to land on me, and excited at the same time of course.
As the helicoptor landed, the spinning blades blew the dust away from the field.
Immediately it landed right on the field.
It looked amazing - I wanted to get a better look at it from where I was standing.
I wanted it to go back up into the air but I did not want to hear that noise again.

The Eagle Landed!!!
I started screaming like crazy with everyone else as we saw the blades shimmer just above the horizon. The deafening noise came closer, closer and was getting louder with the wind howling around my ankles. The leaves blew around in the howling, blustery wind, crackling like cornflakes. As they came closer, we saw them doing skilful tricks, like turning on their side. They circled around us, the wind getting fiercer. They came closer and closer, and with a final crackle, the Eagle Helicopter landed.
The Jungle
The trees afro dance in the strong blowing wind. The roots slither across the grass like a snake twisting around anything it passes. Crickets scream as they call for help. The leaves rattle just like a rattle snake. Lizards are still like a statue. Orange eyes glow in the Moonlight Jungle. Birds fly in the restless trees.
Structures
Our new Inquiry Topic is Structures.
We have learnt that structures are designed by people for a purpose.
The following things are all examples of STRUCTURES:
Look at some of the structures we saw from the sky tower.

YEAR 5 CAMP
I jumped out of bed because I knew it was the day, the day I was dying for. It was the day of day of days !!!I came to school all pumped and ready. We transformed some of the things from our big bag to our small bag because it was the day we were going to Sonshine Ranch !!! We all went into the bus and music was blasting and all you could hear was loud chatter and flashing of cameras. Everybody was at the edge of their seats. When we got there everybody was yelling with excitement because we were finally there at Sonshine Ranch!
Surfing Extreme
Feeling the rippling water as I jump onto my surf board. The soft breeze brushing the loose bits of hair back. On the horizon a big blue wave was approaching me. My confidence grew wider as I padddled closer. I couldn't help myself from racing to the huge white surf. I started paddling towards the big wave. One metre away I duckdived underneath the first wave and went for the biggest white surf of all time in Hawaii. Picking up my pace, getting closer and closer, paddling and paddling, I stood up and sprays of water splashed into my ears.
The Zoo
Gates swallowing people one by one
clenching their teeth after everyone.
Rubbish bins chew garbage,
rattling for more food.
Speakers arguing until the day is done.
Cages pose at the cameras
showing off their grey teeth.
Trees dance to the animal's noises.
The tune of the elephants
blowing their trumpets in harmony.
Dolphins doing a thousand laps of free style.
Lions showing off their hair going down the catwalk.
The Zoo is a quirky place to be!

THE RIVER
The tiny waves flip about on the trampoline, while having the time of their lives.
The water flows like birds soaring across the sky, calling others to join them.
The rocks are holding back the criminals while fish and eels drive around in their sports cars.
The crystal blue water, attracts the eye of the magpie,guiding him to his destination.
Plants drift down screaming as they're being pulled down the river.
Rocks and crystals squint their eyes as the light beams across them.

The Rope Swing
As I got on the swing I was so scared! When I was pushed I said "Woah!!!" It looked like I was going to hit the tree. Luckily I didn't. After this a man clipped me off and once we all got a turn in both Flying Fox and Swing we moved on to Lunch Time. Then we went Kyaking and after dinner we went to bed. The next day we went horse riding and Animal Feeding and patting. Then we went to the boars and the lambs. The brown one was cute and the white one was doing something unmentionable and the female one was too!! After that we went to the tunnels and the rock climbing wall. I went in the tunnel and I was one of the first to come out of the tunnel. I was very proud of myself. I almost made the rock climbing wall, but then I fell off and I got almost to the top. Then we left Sonshine Ranch. We put all bags and stuff in the bus and we went back to Botany Downs Primary School. We had Fun. BN

Wonders of the forest
Hairless trees bare their rotten teeth
as they moan amongst the forest.
Mud puddles shiver to the sound of a
wolves howl.
Swamps swallow toads that travel on
lilypads while spitting out nasty weeds.
The wind whistles along as owls speak
of their faith.
Endangered species shout out to the
forest.
Cursing humans for their loss.
Animals sceam while clinging to
moanful trees before humans take
them away.

The movies
The popcorn jumps in excitement from their cups.
Chairs start to relax on their backs watching the movies.
The curtains wave goodbye as the people leave.
The lights flutter away like butterflies.
The icecream melts in sadness because he got dumped.
The projector spins its wheel to make a movie.
The drinks blow themselves up after they are shaken up.

Space
Sun blazes in space.
Asteroids tumble head-over-heels;
Whizzing across galaxies.
Stars watch from the sidelines-
Comets ice-skate across the
Milky Way's ice rink.
Around the moon
Satellites lie in their beds of gravity.
Aliens cruise in spaceships;
Their engines humming
To rock tunes.
Planets stare;
At rockets riding meteors
Like cowboys.
Black holes devour everything
In their path.
The universe keeps a straight face
As galaxies wade inside it.

The Camp Monster
The Camp Monster
A camp monster in Year 5's girls' bivouc.
I was startled as a grouchy, low voice muttered quietly "Be quiet".
We all ducked and dived under our sleeping bags as a dark, grey, shadowy figure started to slowly move towards us.
All the girls in the foresty bivouac were shivering, our hearts pounding in our cold chests!
Suddenly the scary figure shone a big, blinding light in our widened eyes.
We looked blindly at the monster, but, as we looked closely.... all we could see was our teacher!!!

The SuperMarket at night
The conveyorbelts slowly shuffling on the wheels.
Lights baring their yellow teeth every few seconds.
beeping alarms sceaming in the darkness.
Items jumping off shelves in shock.
What a scary place to be.
Trolleys yelling "I need oil!" while racing in and out of isles.
Test stations warming up.
Cool rooms making stalactites.
I wonder what it would look like in daylight!!
