The Seven Stars

On a pitch black night, there lived seven little girls whose names were Kruz, Lavinia, Makayla, Mischa, Olivia, Holly and Piper. Those seven girls loved to argue with each other.
Three of them liked to do lots of tricks. The kind of tricks they did were eating tricks, sitting tricks, tripping tricks and sleeping tricks. 
Early in the morning, all the girls settled down and fell asleep but one of them was still awake. 
Olivia looked from out of the window and saw three trees whispering to each other. 
"Hey!" said Olivia. "There is a man on our front lawn." 
That man was a wizard. The rest of the girls woke up and went outside to catch the man but, by the time they went outside, they got lifted up and went flying in the night and they turned into stars. The Wizard was the wizard of the seven girls fighting. If they fought a lot, there would be some star punishment. Less fighting and more staying away from each other. 
You will see them in early June at Matariki.

A Girls' Holiday

Lavinia and Kruz were best friends. They lived in the alley of a forest. Both of them loved to go down through the forest to have a picnic. Lavinia had two big sisters named Tyarne and Jahnyva. Kruz had a little sister named Rhys
On a trumbling sunny hot saturday Lavinia and Kruz went down into the forest and they wanted to have a gentle, silent walk. Both of them were looking at different sides and a bluey grey butterfly showed up. Lavinias butterfly looked like a greeny pink butterfly. So Lavinia and Kruz tried to chase after it and they lost each other. "Ahhh where is Kruz" asked Lavinia. They tried to find a way out of the forest but when they turned around it felt like their name was getting called out. When the noise stopped they found a way out and went to Kruz's house for a hot chocolate. "what a releif lets not go into that spookey forest again that creaped me out" said kruz.

Where is Harry?

Suddenly, Tom had an idea about his green, slippery, slimy snake. He gathered up some equipment from the classroom. He picked up some scissors, cords, glue, paper and the teacher's lunch. He glued some sheets of paper together and put some cords on the paper to tie the paper together. Tom put the teacher's ham sandwich in the middle. Harry slithered to it while all of the kids in the classroom climbed up on their chairs so the snake couldn't bite their toes off. 
Tom grabbed onto Harry and put him back in his bag. 
"What a relief! Never bring a snake to school," said Mrs Anderson.
Well done, Lavinia. 
- You have described the snake well - green, 
   slippery and slimy. 
- You have used commas between the things you 
   listed.
