The Newt
By Calypso & Olive
There was a slimy newt on the carpet. The newt jumped onto my dad’s newspaper.
The newt was very vicious! It tried to bite the newsboy! It was very scary but the newt ran under the newspaper.
Just then, my mum came down to give us breakfast but dropped the breakfast. She screamed when she saw the newt. I thought the newt was cute because it had been reading the newspaper the whole time. I sneakily picked up the newt and dropped it on my newborn brother. My newborn brother Jacob screamed. I got in lots of trouble. I quickly picked up the newt. I thought I was going to have fun with this newt.
Today when I went to school we were learning about newts. That was funny because I brought the newt with me.
After school, the newsboy came to give the newspaper. When my dad opened it the whole thing was about a newt running loose in town. If it was found the reward would be $1000 because the newt is very dangerous. I would not hand in the newt. It was my pet! Why would I hand the newt in?
I thought, “What should I do?” Just then my parents came in. Would they find the newt? Please don’t find the newt, please. Lucky me! My parents didn't see the newt. Sigh of relief! But what would they do with the newt if it was handed in? But for now I had a pet newt. I thought I would show my friends at school. Hmmm… maybe not. They would probably steal the newt and hand it in. I definitely did not want that to happen.
Then I remembered newsday. Newsday was when people from the news come to our school and we can be on the news. It was my turn to be on the news. I would say I have absolutely no idea where the dangerous newt was. Yes, that would be a perfect thing to say. Just then the news truck pulled up outside the school, everybody started running to the gate, they were so excited. Especially me because I was chosen to say the line.
I would be on the news! When reporters came to the hall they called everyone who was on the list to come to the stage. After about 7 people it was finally my turn to say my very newsworthy paragraph about the new laneway that was opened today. I said my line and then sat back on the couch.
When I got home I decided I should probably hand in the newt. I asked my mum to go to the news office with me, so she took me. I went inside and held up the newt. When they saw it they instantly gave me $1000 dollars.
But they didn't take the newt. I was confused but also very happy, why did they not take the newt? Then I saw them with a portable cage out and said, “Put the newt in here. We'll take it to the police.”
“No. I will never give this newt to you. Your new policeman is going to kill it, I know it! Your silly policeman. I am going now.” I cannot believe I just made that big scene in front of the whole school. I mean they are silly.
When I got home I decided to make a newt cage out of a new newt newspaper. Yes, that would be a good idea. I started working. Oh no! It is time to go to school. I was so embarrassed at school. Everyone was pointing at me and whispering. In class I got a red card for embarrassing our school in front of the government. In fact I got expelled from the school.
My parents said, “It is not your fault and you are right but they were going to kill the newt which is cruel. You got a reward from the Against Animal Cruelty Club. We are going there tomorrow. Any ways, you should get to bed.” For now I had a pet newt but I hope I don’t need to go through that again!
The School with a Water Park
By Jemima & Skye
The new newsletter from Killarney Heights Public School was very interesting.
The new newsboy went to have a look. When he read the newsletter he saw that they were going to install a water park into the school.
He read it out to the whole school. When the school heard the news everyone started shouting, “There's going to be a water park in our school!”
It was going to be a great day for the children.
Soon the day came and there was so much screaming because there was going to be a water park in the school! By the end of lunch everyone was so thrilled! Everyone was wondering why there was going to be a water park in the school and when it would be ready to go in.
It took a while for it to get set up for everyone to try it but everyone was so excited. After 15 minutes, of waiting, the builder finally said that the water park was ready for everyone to go in! When they saw how big the water park was they rushed back into the classroom to get their towels and swimmers. Then the whole school started to play in the water park.
Soon it started to rain and everyone got out. Only five kids stayed in the water park when everyone else went back to class. Soon enough it started to thunder and lightning and they were told to go back to class. When they got back to class, they played with Lego. After about fifteen minutes of playing the sun came back out again and everyone went back in the water park where they spent the whole day. When everyone's parents came to pick them up they were amazed to see a water park in the school. They even got in it!
Then they all spent the rest of the school's day until it got dark.
News Story
By Sophia
One day my mum asked me to go to the newsagent and get a newspaper. On the front cover there was a baby who got bitten by a newt. On the other newspaper there was a newsboy who found a new jewel that could fly. After that day I watched the news and the newsboy was on the news! On channel 7 there was going to have a new laneway that will be near our house. After there was a giant newt that was as big as a classroom! Then I went to bed. I was really tired from watching all that TV!!!
The next day my mum was going to have a newborn baby. It was going to be so exciting. My mum didn’t know if it was going to be a boy or a girl [It was going to be a girl!!] Everyone came to see. We named it Zoe. My mum asked me to go to the shops and get something nice.
So I got some chocolate that was new. It was called perfect chocolate. I tasted it and it was delicious!
YUM YUM!!!

The story of the newborn
by Saphira
A newborn was on the newspaper sent by the newsboys on New Year. The newborn was no ordinary newborn. It was related to newts because of its poisonous bite. Inside the newborn was a newt seeing whatever the newborn could see.
The news group was preparing an important emergency to warn about the newborn, but just then, they received an important message from the secret detective that discovered that every day, the newborn was becoming dangerous. Because the newt inside was also a newborn so it had a deadly bite that is very poisonous to become as poisonous as the bite of a newt. But, how did the the newt get inside the newborn? That is what I will explain next.
After the black and purple hole disappeared, the spies came in the house, took the newborn, and delivered it to the house of the inventor. After the inventor saw the newborn, the newborn was adopted after a long decision and argument. So they removed the newborn newt inside the body and the newborn came a member of the family.
So that is how I got my baby brother.
The New Newt
By Emma
Please Help! In the newspaper, there was a new newt. Some newsboys wanted to catch it so they could put it in a new museum. The newsboys ran onto the laneway and into the woods. The newsboys knew that it would be hard to find the new newt. The newsboys trampled through the woods and finally found it. The newsboys tried to catch it, but it had new special powers. It had camouflage and they could see it one minute but could not see it the next. The newt climbed up their legs and the newsboys knew that they couldn’t catch it. The newt went into one of the newsboys’ mouths! He spat it out and it fell on to the floor. One of the newsboys pounced on it and caught it. They walked back down the laneway and there was a newborn baby in a pram and a lady was pushing the pram along the laneway.
“Urgh! What is that?” asked the lady.
“It’s a newt!”shouted one of the newsboys proudly.
“Newt, newt” cried the baby.
The baby grabbed the newt but it wriggled out of her hands. It scrambled away back into the forest and it was never seen by the newsboys again.
“Well, that was a waste of time,” sighed one of the newsboys.
The newt was safe and the town never thought to put the newt in the museum again.
