On Friday 26th March, 1977 there were 3 friends, Alexa, Rebecca and Lavinia. It was a really sunny day but cold at the time.
The day had started and they did maths in the first block science in the middle block and carried on with science in the last block.Rebecca, Alexa and Lavinia were mucking around during maths so they had to stay in at Morning Tea. What a sad.
Morning Tea had finished and they started with science. What a lucky Alexa, Rebecca and Lavinia were in the same group.“What science experiment should we do”? Mentioned Rebecca.
“We should do a mini student potion and prank Mr D, so he can shrink”, added Lavinia.
“Oh, that would be a good idea”. Answered Rebecca.
They all began to start their project and Alexa was getting irritated because it was too hot and stuffy in the classroom.
“Clean up class it’s nearly lunchtime”, Mr D yelled
“Okay”. Everyone agreed.
They ended up playing catch and run at lunch playing. It was a funny game because they all played and most of them stopped playing because they got tired of running. Lunchtime had finished and they all hurried to class.
“Carry on with your experiment for a bit and we will go out for dodgeball after”. Says Mr D.
“YAY” everyone agreed
“AHAHAHAH”. Alexa, lavinia and Rebecca were Laughing.
Hey, you 3 stop laughing! Matter a fact you 3 can stay in the here and carry on with your science experiment”. Chuckled Mr D.
“Oh nah, we’re sorry Mr D, we’re sorry”.
“No I don’t want that!”
“No I don’t want that”, mimiced Alexa.
“Eww, don’t mimic me! Clean up class, except for those 3 girls”.
“Please Mr D can we come out and play”, asked Lavinia.
“No you can stay in here and carry on with your work”.
So the 3 girls had to stay in class and do their project.
“Aha remeber when we wanted to do a mini potion to prank Mr D”. Rebecca said.
“Yes”. Alexa and Lavinia agreed.
“Yea well we can tip it on him so we can bully him for being so short and mini”.
“Good idea Rebecca”, sighed Lavinia.
So they continued on with their project and sang songs. Oh no Alexa has made a mistake.
“Alexa why”? Rebecca yelled.
The potion bubbled and over flowed over the jar.
“Remeber when we made a mini student potin well look, it spilt, so don’t touch it!” Exclaimed Lavinia.
So as the potion bubbled, they didn’t have a choice. They would have to clean it otherwise it would shrink the whole classroom. They had tryed to clean it with the paper towels but the potion was to strong and they all shrunk to 5cm or should I say 2 inches tall. Now they would have to struggle and try to avoid all the hazards and everything else.
“See now look what you’ve done”! Mentioned Rebecca.
“Oh i’m sorry”. Answered Alexa.
So now they have to explore the future being a mini student. How are they gonna feel?
Being a mini student was really hard for Rebecca, Lavinia and Alexa because they couldn’t pick anything heavey only like string, straws, cotton, paper, books and pieces of old cardboard. Well obviously they were only 2 inches tall.
“(Whistly), come here little fellas, come here?” Alexa was callingfor the ants.
“What are you doing?” Lavinia asked.
“Oh I’m calling for the slaves so they can hunt for some food.”
“Well what are we gonna eat then?”
“We can eat the crumbs off the floor”.
“Great idea Alexa”.
So as all the ants were hunting, they waited for their food to come. The ants bought their food back and there was tons of crumbs there was bread crumbs, chip crumbs and biscuit crumbs. So now they have heaps to eat.
It was Saturday and they didn’t know what to do so they made paper aeroplanes and played on them. They made it out of paper and glue. Whatever they wanted to climb and they couldn’t they can use the aeroplane to fly up there.
It was funny because they had nothing to hold so they had to balance on top of the plane.
They had to be careful wherever they flew beacuse if they went to the corners of the roof then they would of died. Spiders, Birds and Rats/Mouses are their HAZARDS!! There was a hole in the wall at the bottom near the corner of the cuboard; that’s how the mice and rats can come in.
Night Time 11:55pm
They made a bed and a pillow so they can all slep on it. They used paper for the bed and scrunched up paper for the pillows, they also used coloured paper for their blankets and tucked it under them. They all fell asleep happily ever after.
It was a Sunday morning when they woke up in a shock, they all looked in the mirror and saw themselves the height they were before they shrunked.
“Yay we’re back to normal!” Said Lavinia.
Finally they were back to normal now they can get them some burgers and chips to eat and coke to drink. But before that they had to clean everything up first especially the potion on the ground. They went to clean it and they shrunk again so technically they can’t clean it only when it dries up in about 3-5 weeks till now. Everytime they shrink they un-shrink every 2 nights.
Dear KidsCan,
Thank you for everything you have provided for us. It has been a blessing and an honour.
I’ve really enjoyed the yummy, delicious food you have given us, and those Warriors jackets? To be honest, if our school didn’t have those jackets I think there would have been a lot of sick kids over winter.
Everytime I eat the bars and fruit cups, they fill me up – sometimes it makes me want to eat more.
Where would our school be now if we didn’t have you there to support us? It’s been a big, big pleasure to have KidsCan help us out and we really appreciate it.
Please do come back to our school next year, even though some of us won’t be here. Just come back. Please?
Yours sincerely,
Seantae (Year 8)
Clendon Park School
I strongly believe that 5 year old kids shouldn’t go to school by themselves. Do you? why?
So the first reason why they shouldn’t is because if they walk to wherever they want to go they might get scared or lost. Like you know they’re only 5 years old and like how are they going to know where to go, unless you were brought up with a whole lot of directions. (LOL)
My 2nd reason why is because they might get kidnapped/taken. You know it might not be real or fake but to be honest it is real because it’s happened to someone before and it can happen to them. Who would want to never see their daughter, son, niece or nephews ever again. Exactly.
My final reason why is because they might get bullied or even insulted by older students/teenagers. Like they would think they’re tough but they’re not they just want to be cool and all that.
Have you thought of it yet? Do you still want to send your 5 year olds to school alone? Well, if you do you didn’t listen. Those are all my reasons.
Jump Day
It was Wesdnesday 28th August 2019 and I was full of excitment and joy, little did I know it was going to be an alright day due to the weather.
As the morning began we as in Room 6 had Whaea Maxine in our class for the whole day. We all walked in normally with our mufti on and sat down on our tables.
The bell went for morning tea and we went to go and JAM some Basket-ball. It was SOLID as. We went back to class after Interval and carried on with our art.
It was finally lunch time and we had a sausage sizzle with a drink, that was a fundraiser for the manulua year 8’s, whaea Tania was holding that. It was cool.
Lucky cause some of us weren’t finished with our art so those people had to stay in.The bell went for playtime and the ones who finished was aloud out.
After lunchtime we went back to class and did the roll. Sad life on the ones who had to stay back and clean up the class, while the others went on the courts and got into our groups, I was in group 2; we had to start at station 2.
As we were changing stations we went clockwise, so that mean’t group 2’s last station was station 1. You know all the year 8 and 7’s had to make sure that the juniors were alright and skipping. The leaders were Me(Seantae), Demetrix and Ben, we did have other leaders but they had to move to group 10 because the lines were uneven. I l;like Jump Rope For Heart because it’s a really good opportunity for the juniors and they can get time out and play.
I really enjoyed that time out of class because we got to play guder board, skip, draw and also watch a video about skipping. I wish we have another event like that.
I believe kids shouldn’t get paid for doing chores. Do you believe that? Well if you do good on you. Let me tell you why you shouldn’t get paid for doing chores.
The first reason why you shouldn’t get paid for doing chores because they pay you enough with love. Your family would always love you no matter what, they would always look after you, feed you, get clothes for you and do a lot of stuff that makes you comfortable.
My other reason why I think you shouldn’t get paid for doing chores is because why would you want money when you don’t need it. Like your underneath a roof, you have food and clothes, what more do you want.
That is why I think kids shouldn’t get paid for doing chores. What do you think? Would you rather live without stuff or with the most important thing in your lives?
One hot sunny day in early October my cousins were staying over for 2 weeks until their mum got back from Australia. Gabby was so annoying that all I wanted to do to her was tell her to go home. Johnny was okay but he’s a baffoon whenever it came to cleaning; like I had to babysit them. My mum had this meeting at my aunty Manawa’s house and we all went there for the night.
We got to her house and we had a barbeque there, it was cool. I made the beds for all of us to sleep on and had popcorn and watched a horror movie. It was crack up because my cousins were scared and I keep on telling them that the boogie man will be under your bed when you go to sleep. (LOL)
When my aunty walked in she said NOT to go in her room and touch her laptop. When she walked outside I ended up going into her room and looked at her laptop, I wasn’t a really a good listener. I opened up the laptop and there were these messages that were sent to my father. I didn’t know who my father was, we heard that my dad left me years ago. My aunt walked in and started shouting at me. So you have been talking to my dad all my life.
“ yes, because your dad left you and your mum when you were little”.
“Seriously, so I’ve trusted you not to lie to me and you lied to me my whole entire life, wondering why my dad left me”.
“I’m so sorry”.
“That’s not going to change no more”.
In the school holidays me, my sister (Adrian) and my nana went down to Invercargill, it was really boring down there and cold. It was sunny then it started to rain. We had to take three flights, the first flight from Auckland to Wellington, Wellington to Dunedin, then Dunedin to Invercargill.
When we were in the plane, heading down to Wellington me and my sister had butterflies. We finally arrived in Wellington. When we got there we had to wait for the plane to appear, so we waited and waited. While we were waiting we got us something to eat at the Wellington airport. My nana said 5 more minutes till our plane will arrive. The plane was finally here. I couldn’t wait till then.
When we got to Dunedin, we had to wait. Our plane wasn’t going to come until another 10-15 minutes. SERIOUSLY!!
I was like falling asleep, YAY, our plane is here. Me and my sister were falling asleep, while we were on the plane. We finally arrived. It took us approximately 3-5 hours and 30-40 minutes to get here, but if we took the plane from Auckland straight to Invercargill, it would of taken us 2 hours and 10 minutes.
I saw my Aunty waiting for us at the airport, holding a cardboard with my nans name on it. When we got to the Hotel, me and my sister we were aloud to sleep in the master bedroom, while my nan slept in the single bedroom. My nana didn’t want to sleep in the master bedroom because she would of gotten a sore back. She doesn’t like anything high. The unveiling wasn’t until the second week of the school holidays on Wednesday. I couldn’t believe that we were really down here, sleeping in the master bedroom, getting everything we wanted and even aloud to go to the city OMG.
It finally came, I was waiting for it my whole entire life. The TIME MACHINE. I couldn’t believe it. I was ready to go where ever I wanted to go. It was 2020 and I was in America, Washington Dc. That’s where I always wanted to go.
Well, any way my name is Gabriel and I always wanted to go to America. I had ordered a time machine that would take me out of New Zealand. There was so many people staring at me when I arrived there. I could hear people say hi to me. I couldn’t believe that I was actually there.
I was roaming around the city and I saw heaps of people doing their shopping. I even saw people buying gun bullets, I was like are we having a war or something. Oh no, My time machine is overloaded with power, I had forgot to take the cord out. It had turned off and I was stuck in America for ever. The time passed by and it was 12:00pm when something bad was going to happen.
The PURGE, what? The PURGE. I was like what? Okay, It is when a bad person comes walking around shooting innocent victims. Oh mate! I was trying to turn back, but I couldn’t. Duck down NOW!(BANG,BANG).
It was the day when I knew everything was going to change. I knew something really bad was going to happen.
Well, anyway when we all got ready we ended up going up north to stay down there for a while. I saw heaps of family members down there, it was the time when we all had a family feast. (when you and your whole family get together and have a big feed.)
when I saw everybody coming down screaming their heads off we all were in shock. “I just got off the call with Nana Grace and she said that Nana Bonnie passed away.” I was like what. So we all had to pack up everything and go to the Marae. Everybody crying out with tears.
I couldn’t believe something like this happened, I was crying hard out because I haven’t seen her in like 4 weeks. My dad was upset when she had died because he told me that when he was little he used to get everything, but not any more. I was like sad life.
When I started at C.P.S (Clendon Park School) I was very nervous at the time because there were so many people staring at me( like what are you staring at. nahhh). I was in room 8 with Whaea Marie. We had to do basic facts, I got 78/100. When we had to tell the teacher what we got everybody was like your brainy, your brainy and I was like no I ain’t.
The second year I was in room 6, I was scared to walk in there because most people said that Mr. Dawson was a growly teacher, I didn’t care. Mr. Dawson did the roll and we had to find out 2 facts about a buddy and their name. After that, we did a brainteaser, it was pretty hard but I still did the best as I could.
2019 has just started, so after this year is over it would be my 3rd-year here at C.P.S. I am now a year 8 and I would be moving on high school.
