Sixty million years ago, Tyrannosaurus Rex ruled the Earth because he was so fierce and powerful and had such big teeth that all the other dinosaurs ran away and hid when they saw him. He was about the size of a six-storied house. he was green and had a long, rubbery tail. He love d to eat other dinosaurs for breakfast, lunch and tea.

Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the U.S.A. in mountainous areas where lots of other dinosaurs lived. He slept in humoungous caves which had spikes on the ceiling. Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't very popular with the other dinosaurs as he kept eating their brothers and sisters, so the dinosaurs had a meeting and decided to stop Tyrannosaurus from eating them. They decided to get him back when he was asleep at night.

Firstly one dinosaur was chosen to be a decoy and go into the cave to distract Tyrannosaurus Rex. While he was waking up Tyrannosaurus Rex, the others would wait outside his cave entrance with their tails ready to hit Tyrannosaurus Rex. When he ran through the entrance way, all the dinosaurs would whack his teeth with their tails and break the points off. This means tyrannosaurus Rex would have to eat leaves and plants for the rest of his life, also leaving the other dinosaurs alone forever!
 The plan didn't work the first time because too many dinosaurs hit each other by mistake. The second time though, it worked and he became a herbivore. No more meat for him!

Swooping  through the golden sunset sky, an Archaeopteryx flew, hunting for a small reptile  to feed to her chicks. She wasn't far from her warm nest. She heard a silent cry and knew that some creature was attacking her poor innocent chicks. She swooped through the air as fast as she could to her nest. There she saw the ferocious cold-hearted Tyranasaurus Rex Miserly going for her chicks. He roamed the earth thinking he owned and ruled the earth.

Archeaoptery, who was known as Harmony, was sick of him and his mean, disgusting ways. She swooped up to him as fast as she could and then dug her claws into him, he drew his attention to her and then with a loud fearful voice he roared. He chased her everywhere but when Harmony saw that he was far away from her nest she swooped high into the sky and back to her chicks. She was so grateful that they weren't majorly hurt.

It was hard on Harmony because her husband had died trying to save her from being killed by the evil Miserly. That particular one always picked on her family. She thought it was time she did something about her problem. So she called all her relatives together and also her good friends the Pternodons. She complained and poured her heart out about how much she abominated Tyranosaurus, who they called Miserly. She said "On behalf of my husband, I ask you to help me to destroy that evil spirit."

At first they were reluctant but because of her husband whom they all admired, they dedicated their help. They helped even though they knew they may not make it. But they fought, by sneeking up on him. They pecked him, but they couldn't get him down. All of a sudden, Miserly fell to the ground with a loud thump! They didn't know what caused it until they saw the Ankylosauruses down at the ground still banging at Miserly.

They went down to the ground and started pecking at his eyes. Then the Ankylosauruses took another bang at him. The others were still pecking at him. Soon enough Miserly was weak.

The thousands of Archeaopteryxs and Pteranodons were all pecking Miserly. They continued to peck him until all that was left of him was his meat. They feasted on him that night and had a big celebration for now the murderer of Harmony's husband and many other dinosaurs is now dead. For a little while Harmony wasn't bothered.

Gorilla Land

By G (10 years old)

     At eight o’clock the ground began to heave underneath me like a giant rollercoaster. I was up one of my uncle’s apple trees. My uncle’s orchard is near the mountains called the Kawekas.

     Soon after that, everything went black. I woke up in a damp mountain cave with a giant gorilla bending over me. My head felt sore where the gorilla must have hit me. He growled, "Get up before I knock you out again."
I asked, "What do you want with me? I haven’t done anything wrong. I was only up one of my uncle’s apple trees, looking for my dog. Please leave me alone."
 "I’m not letting a little rascle like you go! You are going to be a perfect slave. Now get up! We’ve got to get back to Gorilla Land before they find me. And I know where your
 dog is, it’s in Gorilla Land. It’s probably going to be my lunch when I get back there!"

     Soon we were tramping the mountains until we came to a queer shaped vehicle. The gorilla demanded " ’op in." Then he hopped in and started it up. It sounded like a lion roaring from the inside, so I know what it sounded like outside! The gorilla winced at the noise and put on earmuffs.

     All of a sudden everything went black again. Then I heard the gorilla’s voice saying "Get out! Cook me my lunch. By my smoldering gumsocks, I swear I’ll eat you and your dog!"   This made me shiver, especially when I heard teeth grinding on bones. I hoped he wasn’t eating my dog, Ben. I didn’t get time to think though, because I was in Gorilla City.

     One gorilla yelled "You’re coming with me, you dirty mongrel." He kicked me into a smelly, dusty, musty, fusty, dark, grimy dungeon. There were lots of kids my own age in there. And there was my dog, miserably licking his paws in a corner. As I called his name, he lifted his head. When he saw me there was an explosion of barking and yelping. I fell over on the floor in a cloud of dust. I sat up when the dust had
cleared. Ben, my dog, was sitting beside me, whining excitedly.

     Then suddenly, he ran over to another part of the room where there were three kids cowering in a corner. I asked them their names. They replied, "Regan, Oslo and Robert. What’s your name?"
"My name is Grant."
Regan, Oslo and Robert cried out "Don’t you remember us? We are in your class at school!"  I answered that I didn’t recognise them because they looked so thin and tired.
"Here.  Have some of my chocolate," I offered. " Now, how can we escape? Does anyone know where the spaceship is?"
Regan whispered, "I know where it is but first we have to annoy the gorillas. Then they
will put us in another dungeon which is stronger. They stronger the dungeon, the closer
to the spaceship"

     I thought that was an awesome plan so I suggested "Let’s all make a lot of noise because they don’t like loud sounds. Then, when they hear a big noise, they’ll put us in a deeper dungeon," I explained.

     Soon there was an eruption like a tornado of barking and yelling! This brought the
gorillas at once. They put us in a deeper dungeon just as we had planned. The next time a gorilla came into the dungeon, he said he was going to kill us. I commanded "Kill us! Kill us! But please don’t put us in the spaceship! Burn us alive at a stake but please don’t put us in the spaceship! Chuck us over a cliff into the sea and drown us but don’t put us in the spaceship!"

     Of course, the gorilla wanted to do the worst punishment he could. So because he
thought we were terrified of the spaceship, he put us in the rocket, expecting us to die.  But instead, we took off to their great surprise!

     Now no more gorillas could escape from Gorilla Land and we are all safe again…but the school holidays are finished.

SpaceShip!

By a 6 year old

 Once upon a time there was a boy. He wanted to go to space so he put his space suit on and went outside and made a rocket and blasted off to space. But he forgot something and when he went to space he remembered he should have put some gas in the rocket. When another rocket came it picked up the little boy and took him back to his mum.
