Wendy’s Lighthouse On one rainy night, the lighthouse, shining as usual, as tall as the sky, lights the way. Someone comes down on top of the lighthouse with an umbrella, and everyone comes and looks outside. “Wows” can be heard. Someone comes down and says her name is Wendy. As the villagers are talking, Wendy points to the ocean. All of the villagers looked to the ocean and saw a monster. One villager, Mark, went to the capital and told the Mayor, “There is a monster in the village”. “What the flip?” said the Mayor “I think I should call the military”. So, the Mayor called the military and said “I need you to destroy the monster in this village, now!” The military got to the village at ten o’clock at night and tried to fight the monster in front of the village. They fought for days and days and they thought the monster would never give up. It came up on the beach and then, it just walked away from the village. When the monster went away, Wendy floated back up into the sky, and then everyone was safe in the village. Linkon Aged 11 Wurruk Primary School
The Lighthouse There was a lighthouse in a village called Alleyway. It was a small village with a girl who lived in the lighthouse. People said they thought she was ‘mysterious’, others say they thought she was ‘suspicious’, which was why they sent me, the Brave Fighting Girl. Hi, my name is Kelly and I am a 12 year old girl. When I was 5, I was always fighting, but mum said “that is for boys! Try dancing instead” I didn’t want to be like my older sister Milly, who
Maddy Currie, Heyfield Primary School loves dancing. She has dancing lessons 5 times a WEEK! She’s barely ever home. The only time she’s home is when she comes home for dinner on Tuesdays. Anyway, I went to the lighthouse and opened the door and found a pipe, I grabbed my crowbar and spun around and then accidently broke the pipe. I couldn’t breathe. I swum out and saw the water was halfway, I swum to the top and couldn’t believe what I saw, the GIRL on the top of the lighthouse. HEY I yelled out, the girl spun around, something covered her face, the only thing I could see was her one eye but it was bright white. What do you want? She asked

what do I WANT I shouted. WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!?! What do you mean? She asked. Don’t act like you don’t know! I grumbled, the girl took off her cloak and I realised she was a blind girl, a normal blind girl. Sorry I say and swum back to my home. Hey dork. Said Millie, uh oh, I forgot to say it was TUESDAY!! What I say, shivering wet. She went to punch me, but somehow, I CAUGHT IT!! I flung it back at her at that moment, Mum came in and said “What are you doing?” She kicked me out of the house in the shivering flood. Great I grumbled. Something shoved me from behind, I looked up and saw it was the blind girl. “Quick” she said “WE have to go to ‘Danger Alley’ quick!” she said DANGER ALLEY I shouted ARE YOU CRAZY? “You’re more crazy” she said “and WE don’t have a choice.” So here I am following a blind girl to ‘Danger Alley’, “Over Here” she said, going to the left. I followed her. To a DEAD END, bummer I grumbled sadly. Suddenly the blind girl turned into a HUGE MONSTER, she had 6 red eyes, 4 extra arms and legs and she floated. She scratched me, so I pushed her to a wall. She vanished somehow and she shoved me from behind, I grabbed her cloak and ripped it, she started to disappear. And now gone forever, finally I said now I know that girls can be heroes too. The end. Sianna Mullett Aged 10 Wurruk Primary School
The Horse and the Cat Every time anybody comes to my house to steal something my dog barks and growls. I only had two dingoes and I found more dingoes. I filled them my dingo and dog farm and I wanted different kinds of pets, but I only had horses, dogs and dingoes. Then I had a family trip to town and I was happy for my family to come. We had a secret party and after I went back to live in town. I was so happy, so excited for them to welcome me back to town. I had my own bed room! I was the queen of my family. I wanted them to welcome me back. My bedroom was the queen bedroom. I was the princess to my big family. Then I made a mistake and I didn’t like it because I had to build my bush camp for an hour and zi was angry and I found a job. I was a teacher for a while. I was rich. I got a big house for myself and my family didn’t know I had a house. In the morning I went back to school I was so smart and I had more money and I got a car. I was a billionaire; a rich woman and I even got a big farm full of horses and dogs and dingoes. I was so happy to be rich. I loved myself. I was so happy to be a teacher. But, I gave up teaching and became a police woman. I could arrest every car! But I gave that up and now I’m a farmer. I still have dogs, horses and dingoes. I can go here and there food and water. I was lucky to be a farmer. Dylena Miller Aged 10 Wurruk Primary School

Hi my name is Lib, this is my friend Lia. Every Halloween we go tick-or-treating. But sadly Lia is moving away to South Australia and she’s my only friend. But we will still get to go trick-or treating this year. The next day YAY!! Trickor-Treating! Let’s go get our bags and head off. And there we were at the front door of the spookiest creepiest abnormal house ever. It has ghosts that look real, spiders with webs that look real and it had mist covering the hole of the front yard. “It’s so scary” Lia said. And when we walked up to the front door we heard

something and it sounded like a werewolf. I turned around and saw nothing. I turned back around and LIA WAS GONE. I screamed as loud as I could. My mum saw me by myself crying on the ground, she came rushing over and said “what happened? Where’s Lia?” I said “she disappeared”. We drove all over town. We didn’t find her. We even went to every house, but we didn’t find her “I said it no use”. We went home and again I heard that sound. I ran as fast as I could to mum and just when I was going to tell mum what I think. MUM DISAPPEARED. I was freaking out. I was sooo scared, I couldn’t even think. First Lia and second Mum! Chloe Grade 3 Cowwarr Primary School
The Zoo Once upon a time there was a zoo and there were a lot of animals such as, cheetahs, lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants, kangaroos and a big tall giraffe. A lot of people were coming and the animals were getting fed every minute. All of the animals were getting full, especially the giraffe. Its neck was getting longer. Every day its neck would get a little bit longer. Until one day the giraffe’s neck got so long that it reached the sky. All of the zoo keepers were trying to figure out what caused this to happen. Then the next day they saw all of the people feeding the giraffe and they knew what was appending, so one of the zoo keepers ran up into the speaker room and called out on the loud speaker, “this zoo is shutting down for 48 hours” Everyone was confused what had happened, but as the zoo keeper said, they all left in a hurry. They called the vet and the vet came straight away. The vet said that it is a case of eating too much, but it is an easy fix. You just have to give the giraffe the medicine every night for 48hours. So they did. 2 days later the zoo was back open and the animals were happy and healthy except 1 animal, the tiger. Ruby Grade 3 Cowwarr Primary School
The Haunted Night Marc joyfully strolled without a care in the world; getting the new job was beyond his belief. However, little did he know something unexpected was about to happen. He walked to the hotel waiting for a big, amazing and colourful surprise. However, when he walked in no one was inside. He looked around. Not a single soul in sight, until something grabbed his leg! With a fearful look on his face, he looked down and saw a little, scared, beaten up girl holding his leg “get out of here, while you still can!” yelled the girl. The girl looked like she had just been brutally attached and was close to dying, he saw something coming towards him out of the corner of his eye. It grabbed her and dragged her into the darkness as she screamed bloody murder. Marc ran as fast as he could to his apartment. He was too late, the monster had gotten to everyone in the apartment. There was blood everywhere, only his kid (baby goat) had survived. The monster looked at him with yellow, evil eyes then all of a sudden it charged at Marc and the kid. There were only two ways he could’ve escaped the hotel. He could’ve jumped off the 50 foot building and end up killing himself and the goat or he could’ve exited through the front doors because the monster can’t leave the building, but he would have to go through a giant and murderous monster, now try to guess which option he chose he would rather go through the monster than commit suicide. He ran to the front doors avoiding dangerous obstacles and the monster itself. He got though the front doors and lived to see another day.
