The Revenge Of The Three Erics

The Revenge Of The Three Erics
By Isla

The Erics were like brothers, they did everything together.
Everybody hated them. They teased them and called them names.
But tonight was the night that the Erics got their REVENGE!!! Mwahahahaha! Mwahaha- cough , cough , splutter , splutter , cough. 

It was nearing midnight and there was no sign of the third Eric, Eric Bacon. The moonlight was shining down on the small school playground as the two brothers waited for the last brother to arrive. Their warm breath turning into fog. As the cold mist cleared a dark figure stepped out and slowly walked towards them and said....

" Hey guys sorry I'm late my mum was washing the dishes and my dad was watching the footy match on the couch tonight" said Eric Bacon.
"Okay but next time try to be quicker please!" said Eric Ovens
"Did you bring the super-glue?" asked Eric Fry
"Yep!" said Eric Bacon
"Okay lets go!" said Eric Ovens
They ran up to the school doors and Eric Fry took out a paper clip from the pocket of his grey anorak, he unfolded it and picked the heavy steel pad-lock off the front door and stepped in. 
Eric Bacon tripped over the door step and hit his shin. He started to cry. 
"Come on Fatso!" whined Butterfingers
"Shhhhhhh!" said Crabapple
"You're gonna get us caught!" whispered Butterfingers
Fatsos cry hushed to a whimper, as he stood up he finally stopped crying. 
"Come on! We need to keep moving!" said Crabapple

By the way, Fatso is Eric Bacon, Crabapple is Eric Ovens and Butterfingers is Eric Fry.  Lets carry on.....

They were half way up the towering stair case when they heard the familiar whistling of the school janitor. DUN DUN DUN!
"Shhhhh" whispered Fatso
Their bodies froze with fear as their little stubby fingers trembled and shivered. There was no where to hide and it would be the end if they got caught sneaking around school at this hour up to no good. The only thing they could do was run all the way down the stairs and hide in the lockers on the first floor. Now that I think of it I kind of feel bad for the janitor since there is no elevator and he has to heave that old trolley up and down the stairs rattling along.

They run down the stair case and hide in the lockers quietly. After a series of whistling and mopping the floor the janitor finally leaves. They peek out of the lockers and there was no sight of the janitor, the coast was clear. They ran back up the 29 flights of stairs and they finally reach the top!
"FINALLY!" shouted Crabapple 
"Shhhh! Keep your voice down!" whispered Butterfingers 
"Okay, get the glue out now" whispered Fatso
"But I thought you had it?!" said Crabapple
"I gave it to Butterfingers!" said Fatso
They both turned to glare at Butterfingers.
"Oh no guys! I must have left it in the lockers on the first floor!" said Butterfingers in a sorry voice
"I'll go get it!" said Crabapple
"No I will, you're too fat." said Fatso
So Fatso was huffing and puffing all the way down and back up. His lungs were getting very heavy now and his chest was inflating and deflating dramatically. 
"Okay guys I'm here now!" said Fatso
"I'll have some!" said Crabapple
Fatso poured the glue evenly into three small bowls. Each of them took one and they pulled all of the desk chairs out including Mrs. Jewls and poured a good serving of glue onto each chair seat except for theirs. Once they were finished they tucked each chair in under the desks and left. 

The next day............................
All of the pupils sat down in their seats and a loud squishing noise was made.
"What was that?" asked Alison
"I dunno?" said Paul 
 All of the Erics grinned. When the recess bell rang Mrs. Jewls told everyone that they were dismissed and that they could all go to lunch now. But when everyone went to stand up..... they couldn't! They were STUCK!
"Well what are you waiting for?" asked Mrs. Jewls
"We can't get up!" cried Rondi
"Help us!" cried Dana
But when Mrs. Jewls went to stand up, SHE couldn't either!
"Oh no!" said Mrs. Jewls
"I can't get up either!" cried Mrs Jewls
"But we can!" shouted all three Erics together.
All three Erics stood up and walked to the front of the class.
"No more Fatso!" shouted Eric Bacon
"No more Crabapples!" shouted Eric Ovens
"No more Butterfingers!" shouted Eric Fry
" Now, good luck trying to stand up!" shouted all Erics together as the disappeared for recess.
                                        The End

  

Wayside School

Wayside School

On my first day of school I was on the 30th story I thought "Urg are you joking"
I walked up the stairs and said "why don't they have elevators?"

Once I got up to my class I swung open the door and stared at my teacher. She was a tall dark haired woman. She had a VERY pointy nose. As soon as I walked in she turned a kid into a pumpkin! I went in slowly she looked at me sharply like a hawk then she said "hello are you Nellie?"
"Yes" I whispered 
She shouted "SPEAK UP CHILD"
"YES" I shouted back
"Sit down"
So I took a seat next to a girl called Parry, she was as frightened as a chipmunk looking into a hawks eye.


I asked her if she was alright she didn't speak next thing I knew she was a pumpkin. I run for the door and I got out but I turned around and Mrs Long Nose was looking at me. She nodded her head 3 times and wriggled her nose and I was a pumpkin but I hoped on her foot and she wriggled her nose and nodded her head and I was back to normal and she was fired.

Yeti or storm

Yeti or a Storm???

It was Friday the 3^rd the middle of August and it was very chilly outside. I began to shiver as I curled up in the sheets of my bed. Outside the lamp posts where sealed with frost and ice. Dumb kids such as my friend Dom who was licking the poles and eventually got his tongue stuck…. Lemon!

We live in the North pole 6,000 miles from Santa, surrounded by mountains of freezing snow. Our village is called Berk and my names Mikey!... by the way.               4^th of August

                                                     RING

“Oops, that’s the bell, I better go, I don’t want to be late for class again, I’ll see you at lunch Josh, see you!” Spoke Mikey as he gripped his books firmly and hid his IPhone in his pocket.

“OOOH OOH I’M COMING TOOOOOO!” Yelled Dom across the school hallway rushing towards Mikey dropping the candy from his bag.

“Um, your dropping your candy… where did you get it from anyway?” questioned Mikey peering behind Dom catching Vinnie sneaking the candy into his pocket then sprinting away with a mouth full of explaining to do.

“Oh I saw a HUGE bag of candy next to Mrs Freckles desk and I heard it calling to me…  “Dom Come take 100 pieces of candy from this bag and then eat me!! PLEASEEEEE!!” Dom had saliva dripping from his tongue with a disgusting ugly smile on his face…. Mikey backed away and then ran to class.

                               After class 12:30

“WOOOOOOW THAT WAS AWESOME, what class did you have? I had Art with Mrs. Tegg and I drew a maggot! But then she told me off and I had to go to the principle to explain what ugliness I had drawn. I think I did pretty good on the maggot.” Screeched Dom picking his nose and showing me the ‘beautiful’ maggot he drew. As the day passed, as usual Dom got dumber and dumber... but that doesn’t matter.

                                Tuesday 14^th August

Today was Mikey’s birthday, he had a lot of planning to do and today something rather strange was going to happen. Mikey woke up at 3:00 feeling rather strange and woozy, he went back to sleep shortly. Wait... but it didn’t stop 4:00 he woke up then 5:00 then 6:00, finally he woke up at 9:35. 

“Good morning Mikey did you have a good sleep? You do remember what day it is today... don’t you?” questioned Mikey’s Mother baking a cake not so secretly. Mikey just groaned and slipped into his chair with a piece of paper and started planning his party.

“Hmm” Thought Mum… “Who are you going to invite??” Said Mother  

“Hmm…. Josh, Vinnie, Connie, Ray and Mikey” replied Mikey planning out on his perfect birthday cake. Mother noticed that Mikey had not written Dom down, so Mum thought if it was a good idea to mention.

“Hey, Mikey you didn’t write Dom down” smiled Mother… Mikey paused and dropped his pencil… then stared at mother with disgust. Then he replied with…

“You think I’m inviting that brat? No way!!”

“Hey!! Don’t speak like that, anyway you have to go and fetch some birthday supplies don’t you? Here is some money now off you go…. OH and don’t forget to put 5 layers of t-shirts and pants.” Said Mother preparing the icing for the not so secret cake.

“Ok Mother I’ll go I’ll see you in 20 minutes… Bye!” replied Mikey walking out the door. Mikey stomped through the cold breeze and fell over 5 or 6 times... the walk wasn’t long only about 10 minutes but it was a very cold road. Mikey marched up a steep hill and in the distance, stranded in the middle of nowhere he saw a tiny dot. He thought ‘Hey there it is the shop!’ He started running. Finally, he stepped into the shop and yelled out

“Hey, I’ve come here to buy some stuff... are you still open??” yelled Mikey wiping the snow off his clothes. No-one replied so he tried again…. Still no reply, no one was there so he checked    behind the counter…. No one. Suddenly he spotted a door so he went in and there in front of him…. The shop keeper…. But he was not alive he was hardly breathing... he spoke very softly...

“Little boy…. there is something out there…. something the world has never seen…. Beware because your village is next in line.” Mikey was shocked, and what happened to the shop keeper? Maybe shock! could this be true?  Suddenly he heard a big WHOOSH and a crowd of women and men screaming out in pain and suffering, Mikey looked back at his village… it was true his village was next and also burning. Mikey had no time to grab any birthday items and not much time to save his family. He sprinted down the hills and tumbled in the snow, but by the time he had reached the entrance of the village… his village had been burnt……. He gasped in horror and fell to the ground hitting his head on a piece of metal…

                                     Monday 23^rd September

“Ow my head, I feel so sick what happened to me? Did I fall? Where am I? “Questioned Mikey rubbing his head and seeing red, yellow and blue, his vision wasn’t very good. He sat up leaning against what looked like the wall of the shop…. The shop? He thought curiously but didn’t I fall in the village?’ His memories where poor and he was very weak, hardly moving. He worried for a minute of two... but then smiled he thought…’ what if someone was alive? What if someone had saved him from death? What if it was my mother?’. Mikey’s mind flooded with questions. After a while he managed to gain his energy and stand up. He slowly drifted to the window of the shop, he saw the smoke coming from his home. Tears fell from his face like a waterfall. He turned away from the window and sobbed in a corner. Suddenly in the corner of his eye, he spotted a bright neon blue fire like flame coming from all of the left over houses, he rushed towards the window and caught a rather strange creature. It almost looked like a mutated Ram. Mikey stepped outside of the shop and ran down the hill... he stopped realising the mistake he had made. The creature caught Mikey moving and starting walking towards the tiny human. Stomp went the ginormous feet. Mikey panicked and tried to hide himself in the snow. The creature began to open his mouth and speak in a very deep voice…

 “I am not going to hurt you, I am simply remaking you ‘home’, you see I’m improving it.” Spoke the wise monster. The monster had cooled the village down with water from the mountains and then crammed all of the houses into a pile.

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS BROUGHT DEATH TO MY HOME!!” Shouted Mikey crying his eyeballs out.

“Tell me, how stupid are you little beasts, do you not know the job of a Wilder beast?” Replied the creature

“No! I don’t and to me I think I’m pretty smart for my kind thank you very much!” Stomped Mikey

“Well aren’t you a brave fella. Come, let me show you what I am doing to your fabulous ‘home’ “Laughed the creature amazed by the braveness of a human.

The creature picked Mikey up gently and plonked him on his shoulder. Days went by as the creature and Mikey built Berk. Mikey had almost forgotten his one big question and became angry at the monster. He yelled...

“Hey! What about my family and friends! What happened to them ay? you monster!”

“Ah I almost forgot to mention and I’m a Wilder beast, not a monster! I have safely moved them to another village underground.” Replied The Wilder beast

Mikey smiled “Ah ok, that’s good to know that their ok.”

                                       12^th November

The days zoomed past as they built the new improved Berk. Mikey grew to admire the Wilder beast and was asking questions all day every day, after a while they became good friends and started acting like brothers. Making funny jokes about each other and teasing their ideas for Berk, not in a rude way but in a fun playful way. Finally, after months and days of work, it was complete the new Berk was done. Mikey was relieved to see such beauty and such success.

  “There’s just one more thing to do...” Sobbed the Wilder beast

“What?” Replied Mikey excitedly

“……. We …… we……. we have to …….: sigh: we have to destroy the buildings.” Sighed the Wilder Beast

The Wilder beast spun his arm around Berk as a yellow storm of yellow fairy dust hovered above Berk. Mikey ran onto a roof and stuck his chin up with braveness in his eyes.

“I shall not let you destroy our creations!” Yelled Mikey

“It’s for a reason! I’m not actually going to destroy the buildings, just please trust me… please… I promise!” The Wilder Beast looked promising so Mikey trusted him and ran to his side. The Wilder Beast clicked his fingers and changed the whole of Berk into a shaggy old piece of dirt. Seconds later the Wilder Beast clicked his fingers and changed all of the horrible mess into a new work wonderland filled with all of his friends, and family. Mikey gasped with excitement and glory, he spotted his Mother.

“Mikey!!” Screamed his Mother relieved

“MOTHER!!!” Mikey ran to his Mother and hugged her tightly. He turned around to thank the Wilder Beast... but he wasn’t there, the Wilder beast had seemed to disappeared only leaving a jar of hair suddenly Mikey felt sick and fell to the ground.

“Huh? Where am I?”

“Mikey, wake up! Its 12:00 time to get ready for school!” Whispered a familiar voice. It was his Mother.

“Huh?” Mikey got up and looked around…. It was just a dream…. Mikey was shocked… it seemed so real? Oh well! I mean at least it was a nice dream… Or was it a dream??

The Broken Town

THE BROKEN TOWN!

After Bobby found his house, he went inside. It was pitch black inside and he could barely see. Suddenly he spotted two figures hiding behind the piano. The two figures looked at him and said in a familiar voice “Is that you Bobby?’’

IT WAS HIS MUM AND DAD!!!

‘Mum, Dad what happened here?’.

“Well” said his Dad “we were just minding our own business when suddenly the sun vanished, the clouds went grey and a thunder storm started.Everyone ran undercover as a cloaked man carrying a shining metal staff walked out of nowhere and looked at the town. The man stopped walking and just thought for a while. Suddenly the man [whose name is Fred] slammed his staff on ground and he disappeared in a thick cloud of smoke. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief until something terrible happened. Just as everyone thought it was all over, a massive wicked tornado, a ferocious tsunami and a terrible earthquake shook up and nearly everyone died”.

Bobby was so mad he picked up his sledgehammer and set off on his journey to capture [aka kill] Fred. Bobby ran to his house and entered and walked to his bedroom and heaved his bed forward about 30 inches and peeped under. Underneath his bed there was a secret room with all his precious items in it. Bobby went to the back of the room and grabbed a big box that had on the front MY FAVOURITE PEN. Bobby opened the box and inside was a shotgun, bullets, a flamethrower and a sword made out of the finest metal. Bobby grabbed the box and went outside. After a while Bobby found his horse, Stuart. Bobby saddled up his horse and the two of them set off to make things even. Bobby and Stuart travelled for miles and miles until they finally found a mysterious castle made of what looked like lava and dark red bricks.

Bobby leashed up Stuart, took a deep breath and entered the scary building. Inside the castle it was dark with only a few torches hung up on the wall. The walls were covered with pictures of fake tanks and toy soldier which made Bobby very confused. At the end of the hall were two doors labelled ENTER IF YOU DARE. Bobby took another deep breath and entered. Inside the room were a bunch of kid’s toys and dolls painted like army soldiers. At the back of the room there was another door that said OFFICE NO KIDS ALLOWED. Bobby stormed up to the door and swung it open. Inside sat FRED!!!! Fred looked at Bobby and said “I’m very sorry but no kids are allowed in here”.

Bobby was so mad he shouted “I DON’T CARE WHAT THE RULES ARE I’M MAD BECAUSE YOU KILLED NEARLY EVERYONE IN MY TOWN”. Fred chuckled “what are you talking about this is wizard gather not an assassin club” now Bobby was confused.

“But…but you started a tsunami, a tornado and an earthquake”

Fred laughed again “I am very sorry your town had an incident but it was not my fault I just came to your town to see if it would be a good place to set up a magic show”

“Oh” said Bobby “I thought you came to our town to destroy it”

“Of course not” chuckled Fred “I would never do such a thing”

“Okay good” said Bobby. After that Bobby travelled home and told everyone the good news and everybody lived happily ever after.

The BIG day!

One lovely morning Dylan went to the beach to test his surfing skills. "The air smelt like salt and the water feels like heaven above" he said in a soft voice. Then he ran in the water to catch some waves then he jumped on his board he looked back he saw the biggest wave he's seen then the wave came closer and closer until...the wave came. Dylan said "it's time for my best trick" and he did his trick and as the water splashed in his face the sun laughed and did tricks in the sky everyone was happy even the crabs. Even though they're a bit snappy sometimes, then Dylan jumped off his bored and laughed it was AMAZING it felt as if the world stopped and his heart was the only sound he could hear then the world started again. In 2 or 3 hours it would be dusk soon, so I should be going soon. As he walked home he saw a big poster it was bigger than a giant, the poster said SURF COMPETITION MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY winner get's MILLIONS of dollars and the girl of your dreams. "Wow thought Dylan." I think I should sign up Dylan" announced Dylan, so he did after 20 minutes of walking he was home he opened the door. Dylan thought about the competition he wondered who is the judge. On Monday Dylan got up at 4.30 so he could warm up he sighed he was thinking of Lilly the girl of his dreams. He looked at his clock 5.00 "the competition started in 2 hours" he said nervously. He left the house and started walking with his heavy bored then he got to the beach he saw all the other guys warming up, he got in the water and waited until the competition started. Then it started it was the BIG day. First up Dylan Tammy. It was time he paddled and paddled and paddled the wave came he was worried, but no time for that it was time for the big trick then he tried to do it. Lilly was watching. Then Dylan got very unsteady and he fell off and hit his head on a rock. "Ow, wow that must of hurt". "Hey every one back in from the water", when Dylan came back Lilly bolted up to him and asked him if he was all right. When the competition was over they announced the winner is .......... Timmy Egghead Dylan was anxious he wanted to win, and win the girl of his dreams Lilly. Lilly jogged  up to Dylan" hey are you ok " wondered Lilly "no said Dylan sadly "I wanted to get the girl of my dreams "he said "and who was that" she said weirdly, "you he said "hey don't worry I like you just the way you are ". In the end Dylan got the girl of his dreams and Lilly got the guy of her dreams.

I'm patting a real dead Dragon!

One really hot day I was walking back from school sweating a lot. Around my neighbours home and then I heard roaring coming from the garage. I took a little peep then I screamed! It was a dragon! I couldn’t believe it. I was so scared to do this but I had to do this, I put my ear on the dragon’s heart. The dragon’s heart was still. It did not beat at all. My ear went all wrinkly patterned. I cried so hard I couldn’t breath. But then I could breath. It was about to die. I was so sad. I tried to protect it from going to the Auckland museum. So I burried it. I took a picture of this memory and I kept it as it was. It was as wrinkly as a Elephant. It looked as poor as a hobo with nothing to eat. It was my sadest memory. I will never ever forget it.

Mini-creative stories

Thanks to some PD our teacher had at school she gave us the task to write a story in 8 sentences. The story lines HAD to connect together. The only rule was that each sentence had to start with the word given.When..

1. They..
2. Suddenly..
3. He..
4. Perhaps..
5. Next..
6. Often..
7. They..

Here are some examples:

When a boy and his family went to the pools. They had a very good time but..... Suddenly a big ugly alien crashed into the pool. He then said "poo bar te par". "Perhaps he's speaking another language" the boy said. Next, the family asked if he would like to go home with them. Often the family usually asked that. They then went back home, but sadly the alien died.

by Gene, Zee & JD

When the children were at the park, they head a loud bark. Suddenly a scary looking vicio

us pitbull jumped out of the bush. He barked and barked and then the children got scared. Perhaps the dog was trying to tell them something. Next the dog found his owner and

started being nice, the owner said" Often the dog is playful but is mad at strangers." They all said oh that's okay we weren't scared, can we play with him?
