Kindergarden trouble

The wind was howling while I walked to the door. I glanced around the room to see if anyone was watching. My dirty fingers reached for the door handle, as it opened a gust of wind slammed the door shut. I screamed in pain as I watched the blood trickle down my finger. The teachers rushed to my aid and my favorite teacher Trinity frantically called my parents and my nana. As I sat down on the couch waiting for the ambulance, a dark haired girl called Brianna walked up to me and asked,
"Is that blood or red pen?"the sleeping gas  The sound of the ambulance's siren got me to my feet and I was rushed to the hospital, I was put in a white room which smelt like medicine. They made me inhale sleeping gas and drifted off to sleep while they started on my finger. When I awoke I was in a room with my family looking relieved.

The Mystery of the Shop Murderer

Yesterday as I was walking home through the dark cold lonely alley with my German shepherd Daisy, when suddenly I heard a loud smash! I looked over my shoulder to the only shop on the street, Richie's Tattoo Salon. I carefully moved towards the shop and that's when I saw Richie inside with a piece of glass on his arm with blood flowing out and a gun on his neck.                                                                                                          

"No! No! I'm an innocent man I promise!" yelled the robber to the policeman. 
"He's not!" Richie cried. 
"Go Daisy," I said to my precious doggy. The next thing she did was charge up into the robber whose name was actually Luke. 
"You are going to jail for 8 years!' said the policewoman.

A Stormy Sunday

It was a stormy Sunday night and I wanted to pass time so I decided to go the movies. I went to see the man at the counter and he said the only movie I could watch was Frozen, I screamed yay !!! 2 mintes later I found that no one was in the theatre. The movie just started when I needed to go to the bathroom, I locked the door and when I tried to open it I couldn't get out, then 5 little kittens came under the door and rescued me. They said, "What movie are you watching?"
I said, "Frozen." They said they really liked that movie.
I said, "If you free me I will let you have my 5 extra tickets that I have." They got me free and then followed me back to the movie. We noticed that the movie was paused, we went to the counter man and I got six buckets of popcorn. The man said that I was really greedy because he didn't see the crazy kittens running around. I said thank you and we went back to the movie, it just started and then we went home because this was a horrible movie theatre. I took the kittens home with me and we all lived happily ever after except the monsters in the cinemas!

But in the end, Scorpion defeated sub-zero. But sub-zero's brother, Kenloa, found out about his brother's death and sought revenge on Scorpion.

The Eels

Eww! The slimy skin slips through my little 5 year old fingers and plops back into the water as the silky skin shines in the the sparkling daylight. As soon as it is in the water with its other eel friends I lean over with my Dad and see the little eel eyes looking at me and my Dad. As we walk out of Nelson Aquarium with my family I still remember the little beady  eyes looking at me, and say to Dad I never want to see another eel like that again.

Christian Cullen and Faasoa means pride and was a 
Samoan chief.

When I was three my mum named me PJ so I  could have 
my own name. 

Cole's Bike Trail

On the last day of February, me and my family went to Silverstream on a train for the bike event called Bike The Trail. Before the event started at 10:00, we went to McDonalds for breakfast. I got an apple pie, so did my mum. My dad got nothing and my little brother got a bacon and egg muffin. When I went to pay for the food, I saw the Mc Cafe's macaroons and my mum said next time we went to McDonalds we could get one so I did but instead of one 1 Macroon I got 4. 3 chocolate, for my dad, my brother and I, and 1 strawberry for my mum. The race was starting and my family and I were off and it was 15 km for the track and it was a while but worth it. About a quarter way from the starting line we were biking next to the Hutt River and we had seen a man who had a white and black Husky. Me and my dad had so stop and wait for my slow mum and brother, about halfway we had a stop for a snack. When we were about 9 km away from the finish we stopped for a drink, mum said that she had seen a lady tip over the front of her bike and her face was bleeding like big time. I got really tired when we were about 9.1km away from the finish but then I spotted a yellow sign saying 8km to go,keep biking! So I biked as hard as I could and then I knew where I was, I was at the one of the bridges that I have biked before. Then I saw another person and he said to us you are 2km away from the finish keep going! Then I had seen a green hill and then a big black tunnel it was the finish on the other side, me and my dad waited for my mum and brother on the other side and we all crossed the finish line together. It was the best and longest bike ride I had ever done.
