Once upon a time there was a hidden valley. In the valley there was a boy he could jump rivers and climb to the top of every tree in the valley and he could do lots of amazing things. He loves to eat fish and he loves to sit around the fire. One day when he was sitting around the fire a wolf came. The villagers said "run!!!!!" 

"NO!!!" the boy said "they are attracted to things that run. So wait and see what they do. If they attack, get your weapon and attack them back but you must not die. Now get your weapons." We got our pet bears and attacked. 

10 minutes later

We have won!!!

The rubbish robot

Once upon a time there was a rubbish bin just sitting on the beach. Suddenly a storm came. One night there was lightning ZAP!!! Then all the neighbours said “What was that?". The lightning had shocked a whole lot of bins. Suddenly there was a rumble!!! and a BANG!!! like something was running around. Everyone woke up and screamed and went outside and the rubbish bins were alive! 5 of them were nice and introduced themselves. "Hi, my name is Smelly, my name is Happy, my name is Jumpy, my name is Lovely, my name is Giggly, and that’s the evil one Smash".

Volcano city

Once upon a time there lived a boy that lived in a city of hot boiling magma.
Suddenly he heard a bang and a boom and then he saw what the big bang was.... it was a dinosaur. "Run!" they said, but  the dinosars were actually good. "Ok"  they said "Do you want a ride"and he replied "of course" and they all lived hapily ever after.

As the sun came out all the monsters started to die expect for 2!!! The creepers and the spiders are here... “arhhhhh!!!” I started to collect some wood suddenly I saw the monsters, creepers and spiders start to chase me. Suddenly I heard a BOOM!!! “What was that?” When I turned around I saw my house had blown up and the monsters stopped chasing me “I must build my house again.” “oh no, why do I only have 12 pieces of wood?” It took me all night “done” I said finally, “wow”!!! “I wasted all my wood”.

If we shared

If we shared the world would be a much better place. People won’t be called mean names. No one will be hungry. if we share we will get lots and lots of friends. People will play with you and like you and be friends for life even when you are forty and even when you're older and you can share smiles and houses. You can share pets and friends. You can share lots of things as long as your'e nice and there will be no burglers because there will be people sharing things with them. That’s why you need to share.

THE PATH TO DESTINY AND HORRER

One day in the land of China, in the forest of Azkaban, there were two paths and 4 boys (me/Ashton, fin, Aaron and Thomas). Aaron and Thomas went down the mossy lane and they saw a terrifying dragon and a ghost dragon slayer. Then Fin and I went up the stairs. It was worth it because there was a field of leprucorns up there. They gave us 500,000 buckets of money. We bought a unicorn and a leprucorn and a very very tame dragon. We had to feed it souls of people and they lived haply ever after.

Explanation writing

HOW Milk Get From The Cow To The Super Market

The Calf drinks it mothers milk until it is older enough to eat hay and grass. Cows don't have milk until they are about two years old when they have a baby. Milk goes through pipes and is stored in a refrigerated tank . Then a tanker truck comes to pick it up . The milk gets tested  the n it goes into a room called a freeze room ( I think it Might be cold in there) then it goes into bottles which is put in the super market.

 It was a dark and quiet night we were just sitting down for dinner then..........

Suddenly we heard a smash! We all screamed AHHHHHHH!!!!!! We went to have a look it looked like some sor sor sort of egg and it didn’t have a scratch. OMG! It’s magic!   Suddenly it hatched and inside was a dragon. I begged mum and dad if I could keep it. “Please please, can I please?” They replied “Fine only if you stop bugging me”. I looked after it for a long, long, long time until it died. Then my kids found another dragon egg and it carried on and on. Whoever lived there found it.

Olympic games

                                                                Valerie Adams

                                                                                                                                                         

(born 6 October 1984) is a shot putter fromNew Zealand. She is the reigning women's Olympic champion and three-time World champion, two-time Commonwealth and World Indoor champion. She currently holds the New Zealand, Oceanian,Commonwealth and equal World Championship recordswith a personal best throw of 21.24 metres.

Adams is one of only seven athletes (along with Usain Bolt, Veronica Campbell-Brown, Jacques Freitag, Yelena Isinbayeva, Jana Pittman, and Dani Samuels) to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event.

[edit]Career

In 1998 Adams first met former javelin thrower Kirsten Hellier, who would become her coach for the next 11 years.

Adams first came to prominence when winning the World Youth Championships in 2001, with a throw of 16.87 m. She followed this up in 2002 by becoming World Juniorchampion, throwing 17.73 m, and had her first taste of senior success winning a silver medal at theCommonwealth Games with 17.45 m.

She finished fifth at the 2003 World Championships at eighteen years of age. At her first Olympics in 2004, Adams finished eighth, while still recovering from anappendectomy she had just weeks before the competition.

The following year, Adams earned a place in the international elite, winning a bronze medal at the World Championships with a personal best throw of 19.87 m, and going on to finish second at the World Athletics Final. At the 2006 Commonwealth Games the 1.96 m-tall athlete won the gold medal, breaking the 20-year-old Commonwealth Games record of 19.00 m with a throw of 19.66 m.

In 2007, Adams went to the Osaka World Championships as a favourite to take a medal due to her being one of only three women to throw over 20 m before the championships. In qualifying, Adams led the field with a throw of 19.45 m. Adams held second place behind Nadzeya Astapchuk throughout the final, but responded well in the last round with a mammoth throw and Commonwealth record of 20.54 m to take the gold. This made Adams one of few female athletes ever to take IAAF World Titles at youth, junior and senior level.In 2008 Adams broke the Oceania record in winning her first World Indoor Title in Valencia (20.19 m). At theBeijing Olympics, she qualified for the final with the longest distance thrown, 19.73 meters, on her first attempt. She won the gold with a throw of 20.56 m, a personal best, beating Belarussian thrower Natallia Mikhnevich. It is the first Olympic gold medal in track and field for New Zealand since John Walker won the 1,500 meter race in 1976. She also won the New Zealand Sports Award of the year in 2008.

At the 2009 Grande Prêmio Rio in Brazil Adams won the competition with a new personal best andOceanian area record of 20.69 m. The throw was also the world leading distance for the event.^[2] In August, Adams won at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin with a throw of 20.44 meters, ahead of the German Nadine Kleinert and Lijiao Gong of China.

At the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships she was defeated by Nadzeya Ostapchuk by a large margin, in spite of the New Zealander setting a continental record of 20.49 m.^[3] Adams announced on 28 March 2010 that she would no longer be coached by Kirsten Hellier after an 11 year partnership.^[4]In April 2010 she announced her new coach was Didier Poppe.^[5] She was consistently beaten by Nadzeya Astapchuk in the big meetings that season. She set a meeting record and season's best of 20.37 m at the Athletics Bridge meet in Slovakia, later saying that a change in her technique that April had begun to pay dividends.^[6] Later that season she won at the 2010 IAAF Continental Cup with a season's best mark of 20.85 m and also competed at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, where she set a Games record mark of 20.47 m to retain her title. In late 2010 Jean-Pierre Egger took over as her coach from Poppe.^[7]

Adams won the 2011 World Championships equalling the championship record 21.24 met by Natalya Lisovskaya in 1987.^[8] At the 2012 World Indoor Championships Adams won the competition with a throw of 20.54 m, a new indoors personal best.She has won 12!!!!!!!!medals.  The women's shot put ball weighs 4kgs.

How chocolate is made

Chocolate  is made by one little flower.The flower get pollinated by a small insect called a midge. Fruit pods start to grow and it takes 6 months.The pods have to be cut by hand.When you open the pods and you will see cacao beans.The cacao beans go into a small box and they are left to ferment. Then they are put into a bigger box to dry in the sun.

Then the seeds are roasterd for 3 hours. The seeds are grounded with sugar into cocoa powder.

The powder is melted to chocolate on the heat. Then the choclate in put into moulds.

Now you have chocolate.
