The Elephants Child Retell

There once was a elephant who asked really curious questions. In his family there was his mum, Aunt Hippopotamus,Uncle Baboon, Aunty Kuko bird and his Uncle Giraffe. The question he asked his mum was what do crocodiles have for dinner?. Then his mum would spank him. Then asked his Aunt Hippopotamus and he got another spank from his aunt. He asked Uncle Baboon,aunty bird and uncle giraffe and they all spanked him as well. They spanked him till he was red all over. After that they all said if you want to find out what they have for dinner. He had only a little nose. Yes I do. Well go to the river than and you will see replied his mum. So the elephants child set of on a journey to the river.

On the way to the river he walked past lots of trees. He took some food with him. All he took with him was 100 rockmelon, 10 coconuts and 40 bananas with him. He travelled a long way through the middle of Africa to get to the river.

On the way he meet a rock python snake was wrapped around a rock in the mud by the river. The elephant's child asked the rock python and said what do crocodiles have for dinner. The  elephants child spoke to the snake and said please don't spank me please I have been spanked by all of my family. Suddenly the rock python snake spanked the elephants child. The python said go over to the river and see for yourself.

So the elephants child did and he meet a crocodile. Then asked the crocodile what do you have for dinner asked the elephants child. The crocodile replied and said come a little closer. So the elephant's child did. The crocodile said come even closer and the elephant did come closer. Then again the elephant moved even closer. Once more again the elephant moved closer. The next second the crocodile snap his jaws wide open and got hold of the elephants childs little nose. Then both the crocodile and the elephant pulled. The elephants childs nose started to stretch more and more.Suddenly the rock python said to the elephant I will come and help you pull. They were both pulling so hard that the elephant nose was so sore it was red. Finally the crocodile let go of the elephants paw nose. He managed to get his nose out with the help of the rock python. Then thanked the python for helping him.

The python started to talk to the elephant and said look you have got advantages. The python said advantage number 1 you are spraying water on your back to keep you nice and cool. He could now also put on a mud cap on. Advantage number 2 you can grab leaves to eat of the trees. You couldn't do that before could you. No replied the elephants child. Once more the python said advantage number 3 now you can spank. Oh I can go and spank my family now because they spanked me hard. Now I will spank my family even harder than they did to me. So the elephants child set off back to where he came from. With him he took a lot of  leaves rock melon and some sugar cane He took lots of leaves and rockmelon, sugar cane with him on his journey back to where he had come from. After a long time crossing the middle of Africa he finally arrived home. He started to spank his aunt hippopotamus,uncle graffe, his mum and his uncle baboon. He didn't let anyone touch his aunty kuko bird. Then after that all his family wanted a nose like that. They all asked the elephant where did you get that nose from. The elephant replied saying go see the crocodile at the river where I walked to on the other side of Africa. So some of his family set off and went to the same river as he did. So now all the elephants you see now have a long nose which is called a trunk.

This is Jared reporting from studio.This is the big story of today. I have received this picture of this robot and a teddy bear. The bear is standing on a jettie, off this lovely beach. Have a look at this picture.  

This is the description of the robot and his teddy. The robot has some buttons on the front of him.  It has blue eyes, with white dots in the middle of the eyes, red hands, white over most of the body. The windup is grey. His teddy bear has a white cream color on his chest and stomach. He has brown feet and a stripe of white cream again. The rest of him is brown. Teddy has a black nose. The teddy also has black eyes with a white dot in the middle.

  The robot seems to be holding a teddy bear. If you look to the bottom of the picture you will see a reflection in the water. The reflection that you can see is a lego man in a suit with black stripes and four buttons. The lego man also has yellow hands. The lego man is smiling with his eyebrows up above his eyes. I think that the lego man is exactly the same as the robot with his teddy bear.. By the looks the man is holding a walking stick in his right hand. The lego man also has some spiky hair. The colour is brown. He is holding the same teddy bear as the wind up robot is.

In the water the lego man is standing on the same jettie as the wind up robot. The reflection looks like the sky is a fine day with no clouds. If you turn it around the other way it looks like the robot and his ted are up the right way.  

He could be dangerous so dont approach him. Call the police if you see him. He could just be on holiday.  He might just be having a day out at the beach. I don't know for sure. This is the end of the major story of the day. Now for the weather forecast. Good night.

Laser Tag

I was going to Palmerston North for my cousin's birthday. He was turning 13. So now he is a teenager now.  It is down the road from Daytona Go Karts. We were at Daytona Go Karts before laser tag. We eventually got to laser tag in Palmerston North.

Going were me, my two cousins and some of my cousins friends , my nana ,and my great aunty. I was playing with my cousins and their friends. All of us were going to play laser tag wanted 3 games and that was the maximum that we could have.” Ethan said ok then “ we will have 3 games.

Then we had to watch this video about how to play Laser Tag. We all sat down on seats to watch it. You had sensors on your stomach and both of your shoulders and one on your back. To hit them you had to shoot at those sensors. If your shoot them so manys times, you kill them at you get points for shooting them thats, if you kill them. Im not sure of how many points you get for killing them. I also think that you can get points for just hitting them. Im not quite sure on that.   There are two types of guns that you can choose from. They are the phaser that can shoot long range. The blaster which is used to shoot at close range. They all make sounds. Then if you shoot something it would give you a machine gun. To operate it you had to put your hand under it near the top of the gun. Then you could shoot. It ended.

Then me and my cousins and friends walked into this room with all the vests with the guns hanging on the side by a cable. A man came along with this device, and waved it in front of us and it gave us what teams that we were on. I wasn't sure what it was I was blue and the other team was red. On my team was Ethan and his friend. The other team was just Jatin and Ethan friend,s sister. The man told us to walk through this door that had red led lights that were around the outside of the door. You had names like mine was Torpedo, Ethans was Ace and his friends sisters name was Batman. Ethans friends name was Bubble. Then it started to countdown 5 4 3 2 1 0 and then the game started. I was like ohhhh its about to start in my head. Then it started.

Everything was dark black with a outlined with the colour range of yellow,  red, green, orange and blue. It must have been glow paint. Even though it was hard to hide from the other team I still managed to hide. Then I scored 2200 points I think it was in the first game. One dumb thing about it was sometimes they would put you on another team which was stink. Ethan and his friend beat me and his friends sister. I beat his sister 400 points.

Sometimes you would hit your own teammate by accident. The next game I hid behind a wall and I was like a sniper trying to shoot the other team. I was just sitting on the ground to shoot. A few times Ethan’s friend and his sister would come by and I would shoot from behind. Then they would run away and hid again so I would have to find them again. At the end of the game I managed to beat my score of 2200 points. The score was 3400. I thought to myself I must be getting better at laser tag.

I managed to beat my score of 2200 points. The score was 3400. I thought to myself I must be getting better at laser tag.
