TC-Jack

Hi my name is Jack and I am 9 years old. I live in Papamoa in New Zealand and it is a nice place here and we get lots of sunshine. Hows the weather over there? Is it sunny, rainy or cloudy? I like crystals, lego, playing tennis, the sea and animals. I have a dog called Spot and he is a black labrador and he likes swimming in the lake outside our house. We live next to the beach so we go to take Spot to the beach a lot. I go to Tahatai Coast School and it is near the beach as well. I play flipperball and if you don’t know what that is, it is like water polo but has got some different rules and it is for kids. I do surf club and it is really fun and exiting. I have a teacher who is scared of spiders and cockroaches. Bye from Jack

Alien Invasion

On a very dark night, I was at the park with my friends, Manjinder and Dylan and a weird little ball came down and landed in front of us. It started to glow red then blue then yellow then it started flying in front of us and then shot up into the air. “That was weird” whispered Manjinder. Then suddenly lots of little balls came shooting from the sky and everyone started disappearing faster than sound can travel so we started running and running and we hid in the Pohoutakawa trees until they were all gone, but when we went out, Everyone was gone - there was not a person in sight. “Where is everyone gone?” asked Dylan. "The balls probably took them” explained Manjinder. “Hey you guys what’s that over there? Wait a minute, it’s a baby alien crying!” I whispered, “Lets go get it!”. Suddenly it saw us and started crawling over to us and said “Goo goo”. “Wow, that’s amazing!” we all said except the baby alien, of course. “ We better help it but we don’t know it’s name”. Suddenly it said “ Boo-baa!”. “So I guess his name is Boo-baa, is that your name?” Manjinder asked. “Boda” Boo-baa screamed with excitement. Now we had to look after a baby alien, That was too much for us. Suddenly Manjinder yelled “Bikes!”. “We could take the baby on...” "Yeah on our bikes!” I blabbed to Manjinder. So we went home and got our bikes, when I was going back to the park I saw one of the glowing balls that we saw earlier was lying on the ground not glowing so I picked it up and took it with me and when we were all there at the park it started glowing and then... //To be continued...//
