Gala

On the 26th of November, Churton school
had its yearly gala. At the gala there were
quads. The quads were the second most
famous thing there. But the horizontal-
bungee took the fame. And that’s what
happened at the gala. But wait there’s more
There was spinning Jenny.
There were burgers and meat sandwiches.
There were bouncy castles and candy floss
stalls and all. There was a pony to ride that
came out of nowhere. Thanks for reading.

The Green Rig

Yesterday my class went to the green rig. It is a big green bus. There are some owls, stoats, kiwis and bats in some glass things. They all died though and they look so cool. The stoat is eating a kiwi in one of them. After we looked at that we played some games. One of them was called save the kiwi. You have to push the sides to try not to make the coin go in to a hole. If it goes in a hole you die. We also played who killed the kiwi. You have to get some animal poo or an animal print then you get a clip board and right down what animal it is. Also there are computers and you can play games on the computers. The teachers name is Mr McDonald. He has lots of cool things in his big bus. He has a plasma TV in there. Also he has mini golf out side of the bus and up the steps there are some bugs in containers. There are so many activities and fun games.

Green rig
The green rig is the best. Kiwis hate mice because they kill them. Kiwis are cool. Green rig is fun because you can play save kiwis. Green rig is maze for people. You can fly helicopters for fun. We played how killed the kiwi you can be a detective.

By Lucas


The green rig is about looking after the environment and looking after kiwi and endangered species. There are lots of games too.

MOTORBIKE
7 weeks ago I went to my friends. I heard a speeding sound. It came in. it was a motorbike. When I got a turn I flicked through the air. I got splashed and I got soaked. I got off. I got dizzy. It felt like a vibration. I got so dizzy that I felt sick.

Last year I went to my cousin’s house. We had rides on a huge motorbike. My uncle Mark has a garage full of motorbikes. Big, small and huge. My uncle got the big motorbike out of the garage. It has flames they are blue, the rest of it is grey.
I jumped on the motorbike. We zoomed of down the road. I went crazy. You should have seen me. My hair flew.

Scary
This is a story I heard a long time ago about a boy who was scared of the dark. His name was Book like it rhymes with hook. One night he had to take out the trash. His mum said “do you want a light”. He said “yes”. He ran fast as he could. He tripped over a rock. He hurt his knee and broke the light. He said “I’m not going out side again”. When he got back his mum said “are you ok”. He said that was a horror night.

My camp out

Well when I was 6 years old I went to my own
Camp out. It was fun because we got to go horse riding but I fell off and bumped my head. I cried and every one was being nice to me. After I went horse riding me and all the other kids all did arts and crafts. Two hours later me and my group tena made our group flag. After we made our group flags we got our photos taken next to our group flags. 1 hour later all the girls at the camp out got to play netball and all the boys got to play a game called ball tag. You hold this ball and when you’re holding the ball you are called the ball master. You have to try and run away from the people that are called the ball burglar. They have to try and catch the ball. The ball is the main thing in the game because it is the ball of power and if the bad people get the ball then the good people lose points and the bad people get points and the side with the most points wins and get a mars bar. You will always get a chance to win and the more you win the more mars bars you get. Anyway after we got a chance to play both games we got to go for a swim and it was fun. After that we got to watch a movie. It was funny and we ate things. Camp was fun.
