The Puppy that Peed and Pooped on the Carpet.

This is a story I wrote in writing time! We read a story and it was that a kid did something bad and he got punished with a very harsh thing example: Milly was mean she kicked everyone! they hated it she got punished with her legs getting chopped off!

W.A.L.T: to entertain!


The Puppy that Peed and Pooped on the Carpet.


There was once a puppy, he was so naughty, he was as naughty as a cheeky monkey who eats your ice cream. Guess what he does… HE PEES AND POOPS ON THE CARPET!!!!  
Oh and by the way he has a doggy door and it is always unlocked as well as a doggy litter tray. He is a little spoilt brat because he has everything that a puppy would ever want.  He is so spoilt he even does it when someone is watching and looks back at them and grins.
His owners felt so annoyed as they had to keep cleaning up after him. He also rips up the carpet in the house, he chews the owners shoes, he barks at them when he doesn’t get his way and he wakes them up at 1am every morning because he is hungry.
If there is one thing that the puppy hates, it is getting wet! His owners have never given him a bath. Everytime they try to give him a bath, he bites their hand.
His owners were getting fed up with the puppy. They decided to take action!
They told the puppy if you do naughty things, we will punish you! If you pee and poop on the carpet, we will tie you down and do that to you.
The puppy was very stubborn, as stubborn as a donkey! He didnt listen to his owners advice. He kept doing his business on the carpet.
His owners said “Right, grab that naughty puppy, its time for his punishment”
Here is his punnishment…

And he learnt his lesson!

He turned into a good puppy and a cute puppy inside and out!

Writing Sample

WALT:  Entertain


Description: We read the poem “My Remarkable Journey” which inspired us to write our own remarkable journeys about why our homework wasn’t at school today.

I was doing my Work on my bed in my room then suddenly a crazy 3 ,headed dog jumped through my window and it grabbed my home work! I jumped through the window it ran sooo fast then we ,got to a molten lava volcano, the 3 headed dog dropped it in the volcano, but just before it touched the lava, a lava/fire goblin grabbed it, and threw it to a eagle the 3 headed dog jumped, in to the lava trying to get the goblin, but it melted!

The Eagle went to a forest and dropped it.A deer caught it in its antlers as it got shot dead by a hunter! Then a hawk came to eat the deer but it picked up my home work and dropped it in a bunny burrow. But it was not a bunny that came out it was a baby dragon! It looked tame but then it grew bigger, and stronger it started attacking me it stood ,on my home work Picked it up and burnt it, with its firey breath it turned at me to breath its firey breath ,at me I ran and ran until I got to school and that MR Roter is why my home work is not here today oh, and I saw Taylor in the Forest! 
"CRAZY PUSS NOOO!!!" (But thats another story!)

Hiwi the Kiwi Story!

”BEEP BEEP” Went the alarm. I whacked the sleep button thinking who turned my alarm to go off at 3.00am! My Dad comes in and turns on the light “GET UP WE ARE GOING FISHING” he yells I think about fishing the last time we went fishing we almost drowned but we were lucky we had our life jackets on!
“Did you read the news paper Olivia” said dad “no” i say “3 men died at sea” said dad i think to myself “now i really don’t want to go” I groan.

 We were driving to the beach with the boat squawking on the roof of the car (I was so scared ) We finally got to the beach. The boat got plopped into the water we went out to the furthest you can go! we felt a bump on the boat the boat got flipped and we got circled by sharks we got out beacon out!

 Just in the nick of time a helicopter picked us up and the sharks pounced but they banged each other on the nose instead of eating us (it looked like it hurt) the helicopter lifted up and we got brought home! we could see every thing the helicopter had a glass floor so it felt like I was flying like a disk!


I felt dizzy half the time because I kept on looking at the propellers! We got home and I rushed to my mum and gave her a hug and would not let go you could never guess what happened next! But that is another story!
