Once there lived a young boy named Carl.
Carl liked to dance. His best friend Zoe
liked to pull funny faces.
The kids from their class stayed in a bunch
to keep away from both of them.
One day a magical student of the future came falling from the sky.
The student from the future took them away and they both found great friends.

We all followed a step by step sheet to help us to draw our Chimp. After that we coloured it in. Then we drew our backround. Finally we coloured the backround.

White Rhino
The White Rhino is a type of rhinoceros so is the black Rhino, Summation Rhino etc.
Characteristics
The White Rhino are up to 4 metres in length, 1.8 metres in height, 2500 kilograms in weight.
White Rhinos are mammals which mean they are warm blooded and their babies are born live.
The White Rhino has two horns; one is shorter than the other. White Rhinos have bad eyesight which means they can’t see when predators are close by. The White Rhinos lip is big, its 20cm wide. White Rhinos are not white, they are a yellowish brown, they are called White Rhinos because it stands for the word wide, describing their lip.
White Rhinos best friend is the tick tick bird because it eats all the bugs on the White Rhinos skin. The calves are able to stand in one hour. White Rhinos are related to the tapir and the horse.
The White Rhino’s scientific name is Ceratotheriumsimum. White Rhinos are more active in the morning than in the evening. There are only 18 700 left in the wild.
Habitat
The White Rhino lives in the grasslands of Africa and the forests of Asia. They are also found in Kenya and Zimbabwe. They live in the savannah where there is short grass and water.
Eat
Rhinos are herbivores, which mean they don’t eat meat. White Rhinos eat plants and grass. White Rhinos eat one to two percent of their own weight each day. White Rhinos spend half the day in the morning and evening and night eating.
Mostly found
They are mostly found in wood land interspersed with grassy opening with thick bush cover.
Problems for White noRhi – Climate Change.
There is less rain so there is no food or water. When there is no rain the plants can’t grow so there is no food for the White Rhino.
Behaviour
White Rhinos like to roll in the mud to keep cool as well as keep the flies off. Calves like to stay near their mothers at all times.
Threats to the White Rhino
Humans are poaching killing for the White Rhinos horns. Poachers have set traps to kill the White Rhino.
Natural predators
The White Rhinos natural predators are humans, hyenas and lions.
Zoo Problems
The zoo problem is that they have to get used to humans so when they set them free there will not be humans around.
Comparison of zoo habitat and natural habitat
How they are alike:
- They have tree stumps, mud etc
- They both have grass for them to eat
How they are different:
- In the wild they have a huge amount of space unlike in the zoo.
- The zoos feed them hay.
- In the wild they have to find their own food.
- Zoos feed them
So that’s the White Rhino related to tapir and horse. Did you find out good information?

Silly
is a funny elphant
playing in the water hole
on a hot sunny day in africa
cooling off with his friends
let down
is a weak male hippo
slowly swiming to the surface of the lake
on a hot summers morning
upset because he just lost a fight.
tired
is a joyful mother rino
resting on the grass
standing in the middle of the savannh
helping her new born clave stand as well as she.
love
is a happy joey
prancing to his mother
on a warm summers morning
loving his mother with all her care
happyness
is an excited tiger cub
poncing and joncing anround the bush
in the tropical rain frost
waiting for its meal
Jealousy
is an upset turtle
slowly crawling across the beach
on small inland
thinking of all the fast animals and angry because he's not one
angry
is a patient male lion
lieing in the sun with his cub
on the African plains
getting anoyed with his cub for chewing his ear

Get out of the house

This is my writing sample using a skeleton plot.
An old rundown school hall is up for sale. The people trying to sell the house we’re very strange. They had no friends or family.
No one knows but inside the hall lives a “staff” of ghosts, including a butler and other servants. The ghosts have huge mouths and freaky eyes, one of them even wearying a bowtie.
Every time the ghosts try to leave they always get caught in the wild breeze. They just can’t get out. Trust me no ghost wants to be caught in a breeze. That happened once but they never came back.
It is a very important to the ghosts that like the new owners. If they have to share “their” hall, they feel they should have a say on who moves in. So they begin talking about the ghost with the bowtie and then they talked about who should live in the hall. “I think we only allow messy people move into this hall” said the ghost with the bowtie.
“I think we should only let clean people move in,” said his brother.
Frustrated, the ghosts started to fight.
A series of people come to visit the hall to see if they want to buy it. First a cheerful, happy family come in but the ghosts scare them away by jumping out in front of them. Excited, delighted, thrilled a teacher comes in the ghosts scare her off by flying up to her and saying BOO!
Last but not least a young, caring couple visits the hall. The ghosts try to scare the young couple away but there not afraid of anything the ghosts do. Eventually the ghosts become great friends with the people. The ghosts told the couple what it was like when they lived and the people told the ghosts what it was like outside the hall.
The couple brought the school hall. The ghosts took back their old jobs and help the couple live happily in their new home.

I’m going to tell you a scary story. Hello my name is Mat. This story I am going to tell you is terrifying but I know it’s true. It happened 20 years ago. I have never told this story to anyone.
I was walking in the dark, damp woods. I started to walk off the track. Terrified, petrified, horrified I got lost. I sat down and tried to make a camp fire. But as it was about to work it started to snow, it looked like crystals falling from the sky outside on a cold, frosty night. So I had no luck with the fire. I know I could not last the snowy night out in the woods. Suddenly I saw some light through the bushy, mature trees. I made my way through them. It was a colourful beautiful cottage. I was given a sandwich, a drink and shelter. The sandwich tasted like she put candy in it from candy land on a sunny afternoon.
Amazed, overjoyed, joyful, the owner of the house was a fairy. Her name was Dragonfly. She told me a story that happened three years earlier that very night.
He told me the friendly, nice mail coach was travelling in a strong heavy snow storm; the horses had slipped and fallen down a pale, snowy cliff. The poor two drivers and the four men inside had died. Dragonfly told me also she was talking to the drivers.
I thought the weather looked nicer so I headed out again. Just before I left Dragonfly told me I would tonight’s mail coach if I walked pass the snow cliff onto the crossroads. It would take about an hour, but the mail coach would ask if I want a ride.
Frightened, I set off into the cold, frosty night. I mumbled to myself, this isn’t true…it better not be… AAAAHHHH.
Petrified, I lost track of time. I was surprised when I heard the mail coach coming up behind me. It stopped beside me the two drivers nodded and asked if I want a ride. I climbed inside and although it was dark I noticed there were three old, happy men. The mail coach was black as the night sky when the clock struck one in the middle of the street.
I asked them what their name was but none of the men answered. I just suddenly realised that something was wrong. I said to myself, “there’s something wrong…with the coach…and the men inside.” I tried to get out but I couldn’t because the door was locked.
Just then I heard a scream, scream of fright. I felt as if I was flying through the air and then I passed out. I woke up in bed two days later. I had been found in a snow drift exactly where the coach had crashed three years ago. Nothing else was found there.

The cheerful Johnson family of four go on a holiday in the countryside. They stay in a beautiful, amazing rented cottage. It was surrounded by lovely bush. In the overgrown trees the birds were chirping like in bed at home when my alarm clock goes off in the morning. In the farmers corn field next to the cottage there is a strange creepy scarecrow. The whole family thinks it looks evil. Mat (Jack’s brother) gets really scared looking at it. On the other hand, the oldest child thinks its amazing and awesome.
Angry and disappointed, upset and mad, the oldest child had to sleep in the messy living room, or outside. Of course he picked the living room. He had to sleep in the living room because his mother and father wanted to sleep in the huge master bedroom and his brother, Mat got to sleep in the other room.
Early the next morning the cheerful Johnson family go out for a walk down the colourful redwood forest track. But for some reason poor Jack the oldest child stays home. He suddenly heard the kitchen phone ring. It sounded like the beeping from a car when it is backing out.
Delighted, overjoyed, jolly Jack runs to answer the phone. In his mind he was thinking “Oh great Mum’s calling.” When he answers the phone, all Jack could hear was breathing. They hang up. Slowly and gently Jack put the phone down. Jack starts to get scared and hides behind the coach. Whispering to himself he says, “I think somebody is watching me, I know so.”
Terrified, horrified, petrified Jack walks slowly to look out the kitchen window. Jack had just realised that the evil scarecrow had gone. Jack started running round the house screaming. Jack gets more scared. He decides to turn the old unwanted TV on. But it doesn’t work properly because every time he changes channel it goes all fuzzy. “…..no…it can’t be…not the TV!”
There was a knock on at the front door. It sounded like a ball hitting the sidewalk. Jack looks out the window, no-ones there. “That is very weird,” he said. Jack tries to ring his mum’s mobile phone. He tarts to hear his mum’s phone ring upstairs. He runs up to the bedroom.
Jack was terrified at that moment. Jack sees the scarecrow through the window. Jack’s mums mobile phone rings again. Jack doesn’t know if he should answer it. Scared, Jack answers the phone. He stands frozen. Jack hears hysterical laughing at the end of the phone.
