Daisy
Daisy
We are trying to find a girl named Daisy. She has many faded freckles,silky blond hair and brown eyes. If you find her, bring her to the police station to explain what she did. But be careful. She is very, very strong. She lives in a very sunny place but has a big dog. She's pretty but scary. If you find her, try not to get in her way too much. If you do, she will punch you in the face. When she has calmed down, grab her.

So all the kids went outside to go play in the sand pit, then Leah saw something and said “ what is that? “ Then a monster ran out of its hiding place and started to Chase After them. “ AHHHHHH” they all yelled.

flour and she says “ don’t worry, we can always fix our messes.”
Emma always cleans up after us and she makes me dinner. My mum looks like a angel and she

Time travel changing
Time travel is changing.
It all started on a lovely day. “Morning kids.” said the teacher. We were going to go on a school trip to the amazing Auckland museum, which everyone thought was BORING, well not everyone. Me, Indigo and Amiria thought it was INTERESTING. Everyone thought that we were just going to walk around and look at things but we said “ It's not boring, it's cool. I think that we're going to go on a advencher.”
...
When we got to the museum the teachers said that we’re going to go on an adventure. Then Indigo, me and amiria saw everyone's faces. They looked different, that they looked amazed. We got into it, the teacher said “ready for the advencher.” “YESSSSS.” said the kids. Then something happened, they were going back in time. Back to the stone age where the cavemen or cave women were living.
...
The teacher said that we need to find a cave with a cave painting in it if we want to go back home. While the children were looking, the teacher saw something. “LOOK! Look what I found.” “ What?” said the Children. “ A cave.” said the teachers. “Ohhhhhh.” said Indigo. “ come. Let's go look if there is a cave painting.,” said Amaira, '' then we can go home and take you home.” As they walked into the cave they saw a cave man and women with their kids. “What are you doing in our cave?” Said the cave people. “ We are trying to get home and how we need to do it. Can you let us, Please.” I said. “ OKAY.” said the chef of the cave men. Then they found cave paintings, but it was on the ceiling. “ um? How do we do this? '' said the teacher.
...
“ I know how to do it,” said Amiria.“ We can hop on each other's Shoulders to Touch the cave painting.”WHAT!!!” said Indigo. “ NO WAY ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT, But if we are going to do it, who's going to be on the bottom, lifting us up.” Hmmm. You're right.” I said. “Maybe the teachers,” said the boys. “HAHA.” Laughed one of the boys. “Well…. Um, oh Alright.” said the teachers.
...
“ Alright kids, hop on our shoulder. Shot kids up top and big kids in the middle.” said the teachers. Then they climbed on eachother Shoulders And touched the cave top. Then they got sucked inside the cave top and then before they knew it they were back home.
