The Haunted house - By Ava & Madison

Ava, Madison and Amy are walking down the road to a halloween party but they get lost and Ava says,

“I think we are lost.”

Madison says, “should we go see if anyone is in that house?”

“This is not cool,” Ava and Amy said.

Amy, Madison and Ava walked up the stairs.

Madison said “I think it is haunted”

“Come on let's go in,” said Ava.

“No, I'm going  by myself,” said Amy.

“You can’t go in by yourself, we are coming too,” said Madison. Someone in the house called out,

“Help! Help!” The three girls ran into the house. As soon as they got in they raced up the stairs. The stairs were old and rotten, as Amy stood on one of the panel broke off and she almost fell through.

At the top of the stairs they opened a cupboard door, and to their surprise they found a little boy stuck to a chair. He had duct tape around his feet and his arms.   

The girls untied him and carefully pulled off the duct tape. He said “Thank you for rescuing me.” They all ran down stairs, taking a big leap over the hole. “BOOOOOOOO!! We got ya!!” said Luca. “It was just a prank!!” The friends all partied at the house.

My Speech

I think that if I qualified for the Olympics I should not go because in Rio there have been some bad things going down for them. Some people have been robbed and kidnapped. It is a dangerous place. I would like to go but it is so scary so I would not. If I was selected to go as an athlete I would not go! No! No! No! You could be bitten by a mosquito which makes a disease, a really bad one. I could even be killed by them. No, I know I don't want to go, 100 percent.

There is a virus in Rio called zika, which is spread by mosquitos.  It affects unborn babies and they are born with big health problems. It makes a baby's life really, really bad. I would not go to Rio in case I got the disease because I might have to stay in the hospital and I might not be allowed to come home to New Zealand.

Some of the Olympic village was not finished properly when the athletes arrived.  The buildings are very close together and no one likes them. When the New Zealand team arrived at their Olympic village they had to fix them up themselves.   There is also a lot of rubbish in the water which makes it dangerous for some athletes to compete. I would not like to be a rower or a sailor in those stinky water ways.      

There have been some robberies and kidnappings happening which has been scaring the athletes.  The Australian athletes had a fire in their accommodation and when they went outside some people broke into their rooms and stole things. If I was an athlete I would be really mad that someone had taken my stuff. I bet they didn’t think someone would rob them when they were outside in a fire.

I think I should not go to the Olympics because that has been some terrible things happening.  I told you why, but here’s a reminder. There has been a virus, fires and stealing. I don’t think I would feel safe at the Rio Olympics, so I would definitely not go!
