The Mystery Forest
We made a short story on a type of journey. I hope you enjoy mine.
The Mystery Forest
“Where did it come from?!’’ I was running through a forest when a zip of lightning struck past me.
I turned around but all I could see was the bush swaying in the breeze. I kept running and I heard
footsteps following me. I turned around for a second time but still couldn’t see anyone. I dove into
a large bush that looked like it was made just out of leaves. Behind the bush was a little bunny
that was cute until it saw a carrot because it sprung at it like lightning and had razor sharp teeth.
It was like a great white eating a tadpole. I was just about to run out of the bush when I heard
crackling leaves as if someone was walking on them. I peeked through the leaves and saw big
black shoes walking slowly across the leaves. I knew it was a person because it dropped a large
silver and gold weapon and when it picked it up they had big hairy hands like a man.
The mysterious man slowly walked away looking around and walked deeper into the forest.
I waited until I couldn't hear any breaking leaves and then got out of the bush cautiously.
I was so confused, everything was just so mysterious. I followed the footsteps of the man
because I wanted to know what was going on. I started to jog to try and catch up and finally
I could see the man. He was very tall and had a black hat, jacket, t-shirt, pants, and very big
shoes. He was just standing there and his weapon wasn’t in his hands. “HEY’’. I yelled as loudly
as I could. He jumped and turned around. “Who are you?”
“I am the mystery man, king of the Mystery forest. Who are you?”
“I am Steven Mugurken. You are not safe here, I need to protect you.” Protect me from what?
Them he said while pointing in the sky. There was a giant plane that had a red and yellow
bullseye on the bottom of it. What is that? That is their logo. What do they want from us?
Revenge. Why? Because they set me up. They used to be my friends until we robbed a museum. Yes I was a criminal. They heard the police outside and told me to quickly grab the giant diamond that costs 100 million dollars. We always wore a uniform that had that logo on it and they quickly took their jackets off and held me as I grabbed the diamond. The police came in and saw them holding me so it looked like they were trying to stop me. That's how I went to prison. When I got out of prison they were waiting for me. I ran straight into the forest because I had no home or money because they took it all away from me. I found this weapon in this shack up here, which is where I have lived for 12 years now. I thought you were one of them which is why I tried to shoot you. We walked for a bit more and then we heard footsteps. But this time it was more than one person. It was them they saw us and the chase was on. They caught up to us and tackled us to the ground. Then I remember waking up in an old shed hanging above a pit of hot boiling lava. The mystery man was next to me wiggling around trying to get free. Then they came around the corner and said well well well look who it is. They just said goodbye and a countdown started 3 2 1…
I found trying to think what my story was going to be about was the most challenging thing for me. Please tell me what you thought about my writing in the comments.

Digital Technology Matariki Project - Bluebots And QR Codes
For Matariki we learnt about the stars. We made a special Bluebot mat. On the mat we had QR codes and when you scanned them you learnt about the stars. The kids had to code the Bluebots to get the QR codes. We learnt that there are nine stars in the cluster and that each star has its own name and something that it is connected to like the sea or the weather.
