Duck Washing Machine

How it works: My duck washing machine is mostly for farmers. It has a hand that picks up the duck and puts it in the washing machine. For the washing machine to work you need to put soap suds in the machine. It has a conveyor belt that moves the duck along to the fans two metres away. The fans are run by a hamster running on a hamster wheel. When they are at the end of the fans the ducks hair is probally going to be all fluffed up so there is a hand with a comb that will brush all there fur down.

My new Bike!

I was at school one day when the bell rang. I ran outside and my mum was standing there waiting for me. We walked home and there in the big brown backyard was a new bike. I ran outside and got on. My mum said that I have to wear a helmet when I’m riding. I got on and put my helmet on. I decided to go to the shops. When I got there my mum rang me on my mobile and said to come home.

I was on my way home when a person came out of a bush and knocked me of my bike. They got on my new bike and rode off into the distance. I was feeling really sad so I walked home in depression. When I got home I told my mum that I lost my bike and then my mum said that it was ok.

Seashell

They've brought me a seashell.
Inside it sings a magnificent glimmering dolphin, with its opal like smooth skin. My heart feels like it is swamping with joy and happiness.
They've brought me a seashell.








My Camping Trip

My Camping Trip

Once upon a time there was a boy called Brodie. It was nearly his birthday. He went up to his dad and asked if he could go camping for his birthday. His dad said that he could. On the day of his birthday, he packed up some of his clothes, some soft toys and some toilet paper. His dad got all his clothes, the tent and two sleeping bags. He and his dad and ran to the car and drove out to the camping spot near the river.


When they got there they unpacked the tent and set it up. When the tent was set up they put their sleeping bags in the tent. They had brought their swimmers so they decided to go to the river and have a swim. They swam for a half-hour and then they got out. That night they made a camp fire and sang some songs and then went to bed.


When they woke up, they went for a walk. When they got back the whole tent had blown into the river! They dived in and tried to get the tent, but it floated away too fast. They got out and looked around. They saw footprints that looked like bear tracks. They went and followed the tracks. When the tracks ended all they saw was another family camping. They decided to go back to their camping spot. When they got there, they found some luscious, purple berries in a tree, and decided to pick the berries and try one. They were delicious. They picked all the berries in the tree and put them in their bag.



They were about to walk home when they noticed that they had no room for all the other sleeping bags and toilet paper. They decided to put most of the berries back and pack all the toilet paper and sleeping bags. Then they went home and sold the berries outside their house.

Maggie and Molly and Millie and May By e.e. cummings

maggie and millie and molly and may went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles, and

millie befriended a stranded star who's rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone as small as a world and as large as alone

.For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

The Talking Computer

One day when I was playing World of Warcraft it shut down. I turned the computer back on and all of a sudden I heard a voice. The voice said, "Hello. What's your name?"
"My name is Billy," I told the voice.
"My name is computer," said the computer.
The voice was coming from the computer.
"Can I please leave and go to the wild so I can play with all my other computer friends?" the computer asked.
" No I will not let you leave!" I replied.
"Then I will have to terminate and blow up," said the computer.
"NO! How will I play world of warcraft then?" I asked the computer.
"Thats your problem," replied the computer.




Mary Poppins Nanny Song

If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition
Rosy cheeks, no warts
Play games, all sort

You must be kind, you must be witty
Very sweet and fairly pretty
Take us on outings, give us treats
Sing songs, bring sweets

Never be cross or cruel
Never give us castor oil or gruel
Love us as a son and daughter
And never smell of barley water


If you won't scold and dominate us
We will never give you cause to hate us
We won't hide your spectacles so you can't see
Put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea
Hurry, Nanny
Many thanks sincerely
Jane and Michael Banks

In The Water!

In The Water!

One day I was riding home in a boat, from the beautiful corn fields that covered Japan . When all of a sudden the boat stopped. I went to check the engine. The whole engine was gone! I looked in the magnificent blue water for the engine, I saw a shadow move. It was a crocodile. I got a piece of wood from someone who was coming back with me. I went to the side of the boat and started rowing, us back to Japan . I felt a tug on the piece of wood. I pulled the piece of wood out of the water and saw that it was now a piece of rugged, spiked wood.

I got a shovel from below deck and then I put it in the water and started paddling again. We had just turned around when the crocodile jumped up and swallowed the piece of metal whole. It was huge! It was almost as big as this boat, but four times longer and this boat was a whopping ten metres. I grabbed some rope and dived into the water and chased the forty metre crocodile.

I looked for the crocodile, I couldn’t see it. I turned around and saw the crocodile charging at me. I got the rope and tied it around the crocodile’s neck. I swam up and tied the rope to the boat and the crocodile pulled us all the way back to Australia .
