Troll threatens scared-to-death trio. By Neil (Newspaper Report)

When, the Three Billy Goats Gruff tried to get over Green Bridge, Mr. Troll of Pastures Green, managed to scare and nearly eat them. Here is Reporter Lindsay with our top story.

When the trio realized that their side of Pastures Green was completely bare of grass, they tried to go to the other side of the bridge where the grass was completely jam-packed full of grass. “We needed that grass” said Little Billy Goat Gruff. But when they got to the bridge, Mr. Troll pounced. “He was a big meany” said Middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff. Mr. Troll then threatened to eat them.
Little and Middle-Sized Billy Goat Gruff managed to get to the other side leaving a final showdown.

Big Billy vs. Mr. Troll, the perfect showdown. As our photographer passed, a giant fight erupted with Mr. Troll getting poked in the eye and thrown into Sunnybun Stream. “I only wanted some food” said Mr. Troll. “I haven’t eaten in about 2 weeks”.

Our Reporters, have found out that Mr. Troll is recovering in Supernatural Creatures Hospital. “I’ll get those goats some day” he said. Mr. Troll is now trying to sue the triumphant trio for blinding his eye and making him nearly drown.

The troll upset! By Luke (Newspaper Report)

On the 1st of October in Spain, Barcelona, three goats had been disturbing angry troll!

Mr. Troll under the bridge had been complaining all day about the racket of the three goat’s hoofs. Mr. Troll said that” I just need sleep but those goats keep trotting over my bridge when I just get to sleep.

The three goats said that” we just wanted to get some food to eat”. The police are trying to catch the three goats but when the police see the three goats there to fast. Mr. Troll had said that” if I here those rackety hooligans trotting on my bridge again I will have goat stew for dinner.

Its day two now with the goat investigation still in hand with the goats still not found. The troll is so furious that the goats haven’t been found that he went out to find the goats.

Down a road near the three goats were running from five police animals. There was a fat old pig, a cheeky fox, Shaun the sheep, domo, and bugs bunny. The five police animals split up and the three goats couldn’t run anywhere.

So the three goats got sent to jail for a year and the troll lived wonderfully.

Spash! Crash! Boom! By Maria and Skyler (Creative Writing)

The Current is a rollercoaster twisting and turning in all directions. The experienced kayaker zoomed down the track. This man was training for the 2012 London Olympics.

Splish! Splosh! He rapidly curved a sharp corner, heading for some rough rocks. He swerved around the jagged rocks so smoothly; he probably could have done it blindfolded!

Waves crashed onto the slim, sleek kayak, splashing onto the man’s sweaty face.

I can already see this man standing on the first place podium, with a gold medal dangling around his neck.

Man's Best Friend. By Elliott and Bethany (Creative Writing)

The man stared mysteriously at the flashing camera.
While the dog whimpered continuously. When they were doing that the vine was twirling tightly, it twisted like spaghetti round a fork.
Just as they took a photo a bird whistled in the tree
And the whole Barcelonan countryside came to life with allsorts of sounds. The breeze sang through the dogs teeth. The man sedated with the dog in his arms.
Then his wife ran outside. The old wooden door creaked and cracked, in and out, in & out. She wanted to see the new spaniel. “Where is the furry bundle?” She cooed gently. When she was saying that the man just stood there like a royal statue.

Human Machines by Neil and Connor (Creative writing)

The glistening pure saltwater was a rushing light, reflecting and shining, as the workers labored until their brains would soon overheat. The wood planks wobbled beneath them, as they pulled the dirty, green nets out of the galvanized steel pipes. The cliffs overlooked the green, spotted mainland, with white sandy beaches and tall, giant palm trees. The boats circle the main, rusty workboat, getting closer and closer, ordering the workers to go faster and faster, slower and slower. The dirty, fly-covered rags of the filthy slaves litter the wooden planks with dirt, germs and viruses. The jaded workers wish they can go back to their grass bivouacs and tiny, uncared children.

They truly are human machines.

Absolutely Amazing Art Attack Auction. By Neil (Newspaper report)

It was a great day today, as Red Beach School held their art auction, the first time in 2 years. This all happened on the 19 and 20th of September, at their hall.

Firstly, as everything starts hard, all the children put in their best efforts to achieve a piece of artwork that they were all proud of. They were then left to put up in the auction. The art included Venice Masks, Dream Time, Tapa Cloths, Clowns and Pottery Fish.

Next, the hall was changed to look a bit like an actual art gallery. Boards and Carpet were brought in to make the dramatic effect happen. Finally, the art was brought in and stapled to the boards. Worker Graham Townsend had this to say “It was hard work putting up all those art”.

When the actual hall opened to the public, most of the parents had already arrived and were bidding consistently. The Art Attack was a big success and some art like Ruben Wiki and Barbara Kendall’s drawings sold for a lot. The Auction closed with around $18,000 being raised.

Child artist, Neil Lindsay said “I’m glad to make art that raises money for the school”
