Autumn
A group of leaves are jostling on the muddy ground.
Umbrellas protect you from the cold wet rain falling from the sky.
Trees are losing their multi-coloured leaves.
Under the trees I see blending leaves swirling and twirling down.
My Mum makes the best hot chicken soups.
Nothing left on the barky trees.

Leaves in Autumn
Floating leaves flipping and flying through the air.
Golden, yellow, red and brown swaying on the trees.
Leaves drifting and tumbling to the leafy mat.
Leaves rich red reflecting crunchy golden.
Swish smoothly and silently to the green grass.

Wood Chopping
"Dad, where's a base?" I asked my Dad as I scanned the wood frantically like a car maker trying to find a bolt. I found the perfect one it was chubby and moderately tall for a block of solid wood. I adjusted the block of wood so I could start chopping.
Chop! Slice! I was hacking as hard as the world's best axe men would in a competition. Although I had an old tommohawk with a wobbly handle it wasn't rusty and it could still cut wood fine, but not this piece.
After a couple hundred swift, careful chops, I had to cut my chunky base up. I let my Dad have one whack and he split it in two uneven pieces with one powerful blow, that wood is as soft as an increedy ball. But now I was going to split the thin half into puny quarters, one swift blow from me and it was a delicate pencil falling over.

The Orange Crystal
Wallop, I fell onto the ground like a horse tripping me from its hooves. I suddenly turned around to see what I had tripped on. It was this bit of orange crystal, it completely stood stark in the ground. I pulled it out.
"That's kauri gum" said my neighbour Brice. He collected a lot of kauri gum. He had one that was as big as a middle-sized turtle. My neighbour's dog Donny kept sniffing at it like a dead pheasant. I gasped in disbelief.
When I came home I thought it must be a spectacular treasure to who had one. Once I washed the dirt off it I would always remember it as the orange crystal.

The Big Slide
Wow! As I got out of the shiny silver car my poor little eyeballs nearly popped out of my poor little head. Right there in front of me was a slide. Not just any slide. This was the biggest slide I had ever seen! As I climbed up the wavy black ladder, Dad called out "Hey Tommy, apparently it's a lot faster with a blanket," and he chucked me a small blue blanket. "Thanks Dad." I called back.
I slowly approached the immense shiny slide. I estimated about six metres long, jumped on the blanket lickity-split and went flying down the slide. Wind whipping in my face and the sound of children playing merrily rung in my ears.
I was nearing the bottom of the fantastic slide and... bump! I flew off the end like a big black canon firing across the open turquoise seas and landed on my feet with a thud. I ran up to Dad beaming "That was sooo much fun!!!"

Sunrise Surprise
The stalk sky loomed, covering the daylight with it's arms. Greyness surrounded me. My hands were shivering like a dog shaking off water. I took a small step forwards and let the outburst of wind rush past me. Craning my neck to look for my soccer ball, I tripped and landed on the dewy grass. As I got up the grass soaked my shoes and clung to my legs.
I lifted my head and looked up at the sky to see lavender, peach, rose, crimson and orange stretched around, not the dull grey I was imagining. The sun was a ripe orange dangling on an invisible thread. As the sun became clearer, I found my soccer ball under the rose-pink blossoms of the flowering apple tree. As I kicked the ball cautiously I glimpsed the sun rise again and thought I wish it could stay like this forever.
Gradually the soft colours faded and the sun began its tiring journey. Slowly, I began to walk back to my modern house. Just as I reached the first concrete step I realised that I had forgotten all about my soccer ball. Running through the pea green blades of grass, I was squinting for any sign of my soccer ball. I had been searching for what seemed like hours before giving up and going inside where it was cosy and warm.

Mum
Her eyes are hazel like pure brown.
Her hair is silky straight.
Her lips speak out the nicest words,
like Dad who loves me too.
Her ears are soft as petals of roses.
Her nose is a button who shines so bright.
I love my Mum 99 million times,
just how I love my Dad.
