Cool shared writing from the STORY TELLERS

Getting Started Story

Once upon a time there was a robot called Frank and a giant

(Describe character) Frank - metal, round, shiny     Giant - covered in hair, can change body size

Who lived in a spooky house in the forest

(Describe setting)   Spiders all over it. Dust everywhere. Vines and spiderwebs everywhere.

One day a man came to the house to rob the house

(Something happened to start the story) Robber steals a couple of rats, jewellery and robots spare parts.

And so they try and catch the robber but he is too fast.

(What does the character do next? Why?) The robot and giant make a trap covered with leaves to catch the robber.

However the giant tries to catch him with his hands and makes a big bang on the ground.

(Something goes wrong) Which causes an earthquake and splits the earth in half, into a chasm of death.

Then the giant steps on the trap and is caught.

(How does the character try to solve the problem?)

Eventually Frank the robot saves the giant

(Do they succeed? Why?)

In the end the robber was caught by Frank

(Bring your story to an end)

Once upon a time there was a round, shiny robot called Frank and a giant who could change his body size. They lived in a spooky house covered in spider webs and creepy crawlies. Rats the size of cats walked everywhere.

One day a man came to their house to rob them because he needed rats, jewellery and robot parts. And so they tried to catch the robber by making a trap and covering it with leaves. Sadly, the robber was too fast. However, the giant tried to catch him with his hands and made a big bang on the ground. The bang was so powerful that it made a chasm that split the house in half.

Kauri Cooking, Term 1

Bon appetit, Kauri

At class meeting, Kauri decided that they wanted to do some cooking. Each University group then had a series of meetings. They decided what would be on their menus, what they needed to bring and who would bring what.

As you can see, the  results were spectacular - and delicious.
