Conflicting Emotions
Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright!
At the MCG one night.
What immortal foot or eye,
Could kick a goal after the siren and sink the
SWANS.?
Answer: Ex-Northie, Sam Lloyd!
What a wonderful memory was created for Sam, on
Saturday night. One of only 38 players to have
achieved this feat.
And yes; I must admit, that Swans fan or not, as
Sam lined his kick up, I was hoping his aim was true.

Funky Hair Day On Friday 20th of May, Deniliquin North School will be holding a “Funky Hair
Day”. Children may go wild and wacky with their hair on that day. The day is to
raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation.
Children can be as creative as they wish to be with their hair on that day. They can
be as wild– or not with their hair, as they wish to be. Some suggestions are:
Have their hair done in a different way just for the day,
Have special hair decorations that day,
Wear a wig for the day,
Colour their hair for the day (in a colour that will wash out). If hair sprays are
brought to school, these need to be given to class teachers.
Children may wear casual clothes that day.
Children are asked to bring a GOLD COIN donation on the day.
Christie and Jack Gavel will be doing the “World’s Greatest Shave” as part of the
fundraising that day. Paula Barnette will be coming up to school to do this, during
assembly at 12.30 that day (please note change of assembly day for that week).
Parents are invited to come along to this assembly and watch Christie and Jack
being shaved. Christie has set up a fundraising team called, “DNPS Rumbles Rebels”.
If you would like to make a donation directly to this team , you could go to the team
page link, which is:
https://secure.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/registrant/TeamFundraisingPage.aspx?
teamID=95909
Or, you could make a donation on the day.
The Leukaemia Foundation is a terrific organisation. Funds raised go towards a
variety of things– research into treatments and cures for blood cancers,
accommodation for regional families who have loved ones having treatments, and
supporting people with leukaemia in many other ways. Leukaemia has touched the
lives of many people in our town, and this is just one way of helping out.

THE TOILET MONSTER
Seth, Annabel, Xavier,
Talitha and Benji were
playing hide and seek in
the playground.
In the toilets a monster climbed out of a toilet. It
slowly jumped down to the playground.
The kids saw the monster. The kids ran away. They
ran to their classroom and shut the door and the
windows.
Xavier told the teacher, Mrs Hanns. “We found a
monster outside!” said Xavier.
Mrs Hanns didn’t believe the boys and girls. Then,
she looked out of the window. She saw the monster.
Benji said, “I need to tell Mr Hogan!” Benji sneaked
out of the room and punched the monster in the
face.
The monster got scared.
Benji ran to Mr Hogan’s office. “Get out of the
office super quick, because there is a monster
outside.” He said.
Mr Hogan did not believe Benji. Then, he looked out
the window and he saw the monster.
The monster punched the window and it smashed.
Mr Hogan caught the monster with a net and he put
it back in the sewers.
Great Ideas from Seth Robins, Annabel Wilson,
Xavier Johnstone, Talitha Longley and Benji

THE POND MONSTER
Ruby, Kyah, Indi, Alyssa and Kyle walked into
their classroom after lunch, and they saw some
water on the floor.
They followed the trail of the water. The trail led to
the goldfish pond.
Alyssa looked into the pond and she saw a monster.
The monster had big muscles and it was blue. It was
as big as a baby dolphin. The monster was swimming
in the pond and it was trying to find something eat.
It saw Mrs Hanns. It licked its lips. It jumped out of
the pond. It chased Mrs Hanns around the room.
Alyssa, Indi, Ruby, Kyle and Kyah ran out of the
room. They ran to the office. Ruby rang the police.
Kyah rang the ambulance. Alyssa went to see Mr
Hogan.
Mr Hogan and the kids went back to the room. When
they walked through the door, they saw the monster
had eaten the whole class. Mrs Hanns’ feet were
hanging out of its mouth.
Mr Hogan got a knife out of the drawer. He chopped
the monster’s head off. Kyle, Alyssa, Ruby, Indi and
Kyah helped all the kids and Mrs Hanns to get out of
the monster’s tummy.
All the kids took the monster home and cooked it on
the BBQ. They all lived happily ever after, and the
monster went to heaven forever.
By Ruby Gordon, Indi Moore, Alyssa Cawley, Kyle
Orr and Kyah Watson
WRITING BLITZ at NORTH
3 New Books Released!-Exciting new kindergarten authors!
THE BLUE MONSTER
Amy went to the door and opened it. A blue monster
with sharp teeth and hairy legs and yellow eyes
knocked Amy over and ran through the door. The
monster had stinking breath.
All the kids were scared. The room got stinky and
the kids ran outside.
The monster climbed up into the fish tank and ate all
the fish.
Riley, Tynen, Brydey and Riley helped Amy to get
up.
The monster jumped out of the fish tank. It ran
across the room to the fridge. It smashed the
fridge open and ate all the food.
The teacher, Mrs Hanns found a net. She gave the
net to Tynen. He ran up to the monster and threw
the net onto the monster. The monster tried to
escape. Brydey had a big jar. She put the jar on top
of the nasty monster. Riley screwed the lid on the
jar.
All of the kids carried the monster to the fridge.
They put the monster in the freezer.
At home-time the kids took the monster out of the
freezer. It was frozen.
They put the monster in Riley’s car. Riley drove his
car out to the dump. When he got to the dump he
got the monster out.
The monster got run over by a car. In the car was
Mrs Hanns. The jar got broken and the monster was
DEAD!

Camping is fun!
-YES or NO???
I strongly believe camping is an awesome idea. I
believe this, because when you go camping, you have
lots of room to play, you can go swimming and you can
play games at night….
Strong start by Eliza Johnstone
I truly believe that camping is amazing, because you
can cook snags under the fire, smell fresh air and
listen to sounds. I think it is fun. ...
Great beginning by Ella Marshall
It is fun, because you can play with your friends and
play sport. For example, you can kick a footy and run
around….
By Harley Hicks
I strongly believe that camping is my favourite thing
at Easter time, because we get to ride the bikes, go
fishing and hunting, and sleep in a swag….
By Angus Knox
I like fishing, because last year I caught a 66 cm
cod. So, I really like it.
I like motorbike riding, because you can chase
kangaroos and go over jumps….
By Ben Dunmore
….So, go to the camping shop and get wood and also a
tent, and a swag. And, don’t forget your
marshmallows…..
Nice ending by Ruby Caruso
1/2R Stories
The genie gives you a wish.
What is your wish? What
happens?
One day, I found a lamp in my
room. It was dusty and I
rubbed it. A genie came out of the lamp.” I will give
you one wish, but you can’t wish for 1 million wishes,”
said the genie.
I said, “okay! I wish that I will have pets at my
house.”
The genie said,” your wish is granted!”….
By Tyeesha Hicks
…… So, I rubbed the lamp and out came a genie.” I
will give you two wishes,” said the genie.
“I wish I was a Lego person, and I wish, my Lego was
alive!” I said.
Then, POP!!! I was turned into a Lego person, and my
Lego was alive.”…..
By Jack Brown
One day, I woke up and it was so hot I went to our
pool. I asked mum for a drink out of the jug, because
I was sunbaking.
It got so hot, I decided to water sunbake, which
meant I was in the pool.
Mum brought the jug out and left. The jug was dirty
so I cleaned it. But, it was a lamp and I accidentally
rubbed the lamp. All of a sudden, smoke came out…..
By Samara Watson
One day, I was down at the beach. I was playing ball,
and I kicked up the sand. I saw a genie’s lamp and I
brought it to my bedroom. I rubbed the lamp and a
genie came out….
By Harry Bull
On Wednesday, after school, I went to the river and
I found a lamp. A ghost came out of the lamp, and
the ghost said,” I am the genie of the lamp. I will
give you one wish. What will it be?”
I said,” I want to be rich. I want to have lots of
money, to buy my favourite house.”
Then, all of a sudden, I put my hands in my pocket,
and there was heaps of money….
By Megan Lawson
It was night time. There was something under my
sheet. I took my sheet off and I found a lamp. I
thought lamps weren’t real. And then, the floor
started shaking, and a genie came out of the lamp….
By Stella Bashford
One day, I was outside and I was planting a flower. I
turned around and I found a lamp, but I thought it
was a kettle. I washed it and I accidentally rubbed
it. A genie came out of the lamp…..
By Holly Allitt
On Wednesday, dad and I went to the river and I
was digging a hole. I found the lamp and I showed
dad. I gave it to dad and he put it on the ground. The
wind blew it on the sand, and a genie came out of it...
By Charlie McCallum
What They Wished For …I want to be invisible. While I am invisible I will rob
a bank… (Matthew Pitt)
… A genie popped out and the girl wished for a
puppy….(Lucy Willis)
… I was Luke Skywalker, because I loved Star
Wars…(Jim Jachim)
… I wished to be a Power Ranger. I wished to be the
blue and gold Power Ranger, and to have a
swordfish….(Max Hillier)

pterodactyl. I flew all around town…(Stephen
Thomas)
EXCERPTS from 3/4H
Students were asked to complete the picture
and then write the story.
I was amazed! I couldn’t believe my eyes. A flying
centaur was outside my window. I thought that
centaurs were myths. What!
The centaur vanished into the air. Now, where was
my proof that centaurs exist?
I went down the stairs to my apartment. Then, I
walked out the door. The only proof that I had seen
a centaur was a pile of ash. When the centaur went
poof!-into thin air, ash fell on the cement….
By Scout McKenzie
One day I was just birdwatching out of my window,
when I saw something colourful. I took a look. I saw
an extremely big dog head! I rubbed my eyes. It was
gone for a second. I thought I was cra-cra-crazy!
The next day, I went to my window, not for
birdwatching, but to look for extremely big dog
heads. I was leaning out of my window, but
suddenly…. I fell! I thought I was going to die, but I
didn’t….
By Chloe Manzin
….. I was out looking for my hamster, Jo Jo (he is a
magician). I had been looking for days, weeks,
minutes.
One day, when I was looking out my window, I saw a
cat with wings. Can you believe that? I videoed the
cat with lightning behind it. I posted it on the
internet, and I became famous. I was rich…..
By Lucy Pitt
One sunny afternoon, Barney was sitting down with
relatives, watching his favourite TV show, The
Simpsons. That was when he heard screaming,
”aaahhh!”
Barney grabbed his binoculars and hung halfway out
of his window. He was amazed at what he saw. It was
a lion….
By Tahlia Johnstone
There was once a bird. It was the rarest bird in all
of Australia. This bird was called, the Pearl of
Pearls.
Surprisingly, about 12 months ago, there was a man
called, Mr Timothy Hanns, and he was out
birdwatching, in the woods. He did not find the bird
he was looking for, so he went home.
When he got home he made himself a cup of hot
chocolate, and when he turned around, he saw the
bird. “Wow!” said Timothy. He was so happy, but he
forgot, that he had his hot chocolate in his hand, and
he flung it up in the air. It landed, straight on top of
his head….
By Mollie Maher
Hi! My name is Fred. I have found the largest
milkshake in the world. I said to dad,” look out the

world.”
“Let me have a look!” said dad. Dad went to the
window and he fell out…..
