The Ilminster Green Team performance took place in the Ilminster school hall. Class after class lined up and sat quietly on the carpeted steps. The hall was set out like a real play, with painted walls and detailed areas in the hall. Shaun Diver, a student at the intermediate, stood up from his seat, and walked solemnly into the middle of the hall, and welcomed the audience with a well put speech about the performance. "Welcome to the Green Team performance," He said. "I hope you enjoy the play!"

Story Starters: There Was Smoke Everywhere...
There was smoke everywhere.
It filled up the art room in Jade Mountain, and students coughed, sneezed and staggered backwards, bumping into one another. It was very hard for Peril to stay out of the way of scurrying students. especially when she was the one who made the room start smoking. For Peril, it was easy to start a fire. It only took a small sweep of a tail and WHOOSH! The room would be set on fire. "WATCH OUT!" Peril yelled as a sandwing almost fell onto her wing, "Don't you know who I am?" Everyone at Jade Mountain Academy knew that Peril was Queen Scarlet's killer creature. So, it was a silly Question to ask, even Peril knew that. "ARGHH! Forget it." Peril muttered, waving her talons in the air, trying to clear the smoke from her view. "Wait! No! Don't forget it! No! Ack!" Peril collided with a mudwing, taller than she was. "Hey, um, Peril?" Suddenly Peril's brain started working, she knew this particular dragon. "Clay!" Peril cried, a large toothy grin emerging from the depths of her face, "I'm so sorry about the smoke! It was a TOTAL accident!" Clay looked at her, a little worried, but recovered when Peril said, " I didn't mean to! I just did. Sorry!" Clay grinned, " I know you didn't mean to. I bet it's hard trying to console your fire scales."
A loud thudding noise echoed through the hall. " OK! WHO DID IT?!" An adult female voice broke in, "COME ON! SHOW YOURSELF! Why does this always happen?" It was clear that the angry voice belonged to nobody but Tsunami, the most bad tempered seawing Peril had ever met. Well, according to Peril she was. Another voice cut in, this time a bit squeaky. Ok, way too squeaky for Peril. "Oh dear! I think we might have to include a smoke alarm in here! Actually, I think we should have smoke alarms in all the rooms in the school. Just to be safe. Oh! And fire alarms!" As Sunny said this she looked at Peril. Only a little bit though. Sunny was the only teacher at the jade mountain academy that was actually nice to Peril. Apart from Clay. Clay! But sometimes Peril just wanted to shove Sunny off a cliff. Or something similar. For some reason It just felt right.
"Where's Starflight?" Clay asked, "Is he in the library?" Tsunami sighed dramatically, "Where else would he be, you handsome idiot?" Tsunami said cooly, catching Peril's eye. "Actually, I'm over here. I was in the library, It's just that I couldn't stand the noise. You know? The screaming and all that?" Starflight said, looking at Tsunami, Clay, Sunny and Peril. "Um, you tell him." Tsunami, whispered to Clay, " I hardly even know what happened." Clay looked at Peril, as if she could save him from the situation. "Um. Yes. It was me, but it was an accident. And... um... accidents happen?" Peril looked hopeful and there at that moment the muscles in her mouth broke down. Completely. Peril wrinkled her snout. "I'm sorry." She managed to say, "I just got a fright when the paint fell onto the canvas. Or let's say, EXPLODED." Peril tried to smile innocently. But it didn't work.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THESE ARE?!" Tsunami thundered, "I SPENT A FORTUNE ON EACH OF THOSE!" Clay came to Peril's rescue. At the wrong moment. But thanks anyway Clay! "It's not Peril's fault guys." Clay argued, " And I don't think you should threaten Peril like that Tsunami." " Hey! But - I - " Tsunami stuttered, " I did pay a fortune for those!" Take that Tsunami! Peril thought. " Hey! You guys!" Sunny cried, forcing the Mudwing and Seawing apart. " It's not fair for either of you! Now hug!" She ordered. Orghh! Gross! Peril thought disgusted, It's only good if it's just me and Clay! Tsunami was the first one to pull away from the hug. Clay nodded. " I need to talk to Peril." He said. " Alone." Oooh! What now Clay? Clay gestured for Peril to follow him and they both walked down the hall.
"Peril, this is important." Clay said, looking sideways at her. "I, um. I'm going to the sky palace. To collect some more students. And... " Clay was starting to mumble now. " And? " Peril asked, "And I, um, was wondering if you would like to come with me? That is if you would like to." He asked shyly. "Of course!" Peril sang, hugging him. "Whoops! Did I burn you? Sorry! But yes! I want to come! Am I being annoying?" Peril asked, eyes glittering in the sunlight. "Yay! I knew you'd say yes!" Clay whooped, " Come on!" He leapt of the ledge of the mountain and hovered in the sky, before motioning Peril to follow him. Soon two silhouettes flew against the setting sun.

If you were wondering if this was real, I'll assure you this is fake. Although, I wish it were real! It would be super cool! 🐉
No one took notice of him, as if he was invisible. Sometimes they walked right past his tent and didn't even flinch. They're completely ignoring me! Eagle thought angrily, They should at least say hello! Eagle sniffled a little then sneezed. A plume of smoke erupted from his nose. Humph! Eagle sneezed again, this time a sprout of fire flew out of Eagle's snout. The fire caught the cotton fabric on the tent, and started building up. Uh, oh! A small voice inside the back of Eagle's head screamed.
Suddenly the whole tent caught on fire. Eagle tried to move, but his feet were glued to the floor. "Help!" Eagle cried, "Somebody help me!" Eagle heard a distant scream from outside the tent, It must have gone right through the fabric! Eagle realized.
Eagle pulled his feet away from the dusty floor, and stumbled. He quickly got to his feet and scampered over to the cupboard where the water vessels were stored. They were quite heavy, since they were full with cold refreshing water. Eagle trudged over to the fire, and splashed the water everywhere. Eagle occasionally broke a few water vessels, but other than that, Eagle was doing well.
The fire was finally out, and Eagle was huffing and puffing. Whew! Eagle thought, That was hard work and I made it! Eagle collapsed to the floor with hardly any effort. He rolled over fast as a giant water vessel crashed where he would have been if he hadn't moved out of the way. "Jeez!" Eagle muttered, " Didn't see that coming!" Eagle was slowly getting up, when a small dragonet flew in from outside the tent. " Watch out!" Eagle shouted, as the small dragonet collided with the Eagles stomach. " Orghhh, Whahh?" Eagle groaned.
The small dragonet looked over to Eagle and squeaked in surprise. "EEP, EEP, EEP!" Eagle looked sideways and walked over to the squeaking dragonet. "EEP!, Eep, eep?" Eagle picked up the dragonet as it squirmed and wriggled. " You, are one wriggly pipsqueak." The small dragonet stopped wriggling as if it were offended by Eagles words." EEP!" cried the dragonet." What now?" Eagle said. "You can't possibly be hungry, could you?" At the words of hungry, the dragonet perked up.

If you were wondering if this was real, I can assure you it's not. I made it really look like it was real, but I promise you, again, that it is not. Just try to enjoy the scene!
Josie hadn't meant for it to happen. She had accidentally hit 'send all' on the messaging app. Soon her driveway was full with cars that had party food and drinks in the boot.
They all piled out their cars 1 by 1, chatting and blabbering about how cool the party would be.
Oh dear, when mum and dad come home I'm gonna be in big trouble! Josie didn't want to think about punishments just yet - she had a party to sort out!
Josie had to do something - fast. " EVERYBODY! I KNOW YOU GOT MY MESSAGE BUT I ACCIDENTLY PRESSED 'SEND ALL' SO THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE ARE CORNELIA BOYD, IVY MCMILLAN AND RIO SCOTT!" Josie yelled loudly.
I could feel my face flush, and that was when I totally lost It.
"EVERYONE APART FROM RIO SCOTT, IVY MCMILLAN AND CORNELIA BOYD CAN LEAVE NOW! GET OUT OF HERE!" Josie yelled, catching two little boys sneaking into the house.
Ivy, Rio and Cornelia came up to the front porch where I was standing, a look of confusion on their faces soon made Josie burst out laughing.
" Your faces!" Josie giggled pointing and clutching her side. She grabbed her friends and went inside to start the "actual" party just the four of them.

In The Deep Dark Woods
In the deep, dark, woods lay a pebble. Not just an ordinary pebble, in fact, it wasn't even a pebble! It was a charmed crystal, trapped in a thick layer rock. The Heir towered over the gem, muttering a great deal of curses laughing as she did so. The Heir stumbled backwards from the large silver cauldron which held the enchanted stone. A massive shoot of vapour evaporated from the cauldron. The evil Descendant stepped nervously toward the bubbling cauldron. It was supposed to make mist appear as it had, but, it wasn't supposed to be blue!, It was supposed to be a fiery colour red.
The reason why the Heir was making stones, was because she was incharge for the elements, In fact, she was an element herself! She was the element of wind, thunder and darkness. the other elements were: Earth, Water, Fire, Ice, Force, Time, Shadow, Light, Moon and Sun. These elements had special powers, and the Heir wanted them all - just for herself.
After making a vicious plan to steal all the elements, she set of to actually do it. The heir was in a duel with the other elements since they had refused to give their powers to the evil heir because of her greediness for power. The heir was enraged and claimed war over the elements.
So the heir and the other elements begun a duel, the elements' fighting for their lives, and the heir fighting for power. Although the elements were out numbering the heir, the heir was more powerful, having two elements in one. The heir had started to snatch the stones around the elements neck, snapping the chain that held the stone, and seizing the runaway elements by the collars of their shirts, and asking them savage questions where they hid the tablet with the answers to all her questions.
Once the heir had no answer, she threw the elements into a wall, making their heads go all fuzzy, she rummaged through all their pockets hoping to find a map or something useful, instead she found the rest of the stones. The elements had no chance against the evil heir - the elements were defeated, wounded by the heirs magic, as you know the heir two elements - now, she had them all.

Band Quest Practice
Yesterday I had band practice with Cornelia, Ella, Louie, Bill, Stavers, Harry and Nathan. Ricky was our teacher. The reason why we were practicing music, was because Band Quest was coming up, and the band school had signed up to take part in the enormous competition. When you take part in band Quest you need to play 2 songs. The songs we chose were Happen To Me by BENEE, and, So True by THE BLACK SEEDS. Cornelia was playing the bass for so true, and the E-guitar for happen to me. Ella and Cornelia were both singers for both songs. Louie was Playing the E- guitar for both songs. Bill was playing the keyboard for both songs as well. Stavers was playing E- guitar for so true and bass for happen to me. I don't know what instrument harry is playing but I do know that Nathan was the drummer for both songs.I was also playing the E-guitar. It took Half an hour[30 min] to actually practice. After we practiced both songs, we helped Ricky pack up the gear we used.
Then we walked outside at the back of the hall. Why were we there you ask? Oh yes, how could I forget! Ricky said we had to make a band name up in 5 minutes, otherwise he would choose a name for us at the choice of Waireiti or Waireiti. Of course no one wanted that name! So we Quickly made suggestions like, Black guns? No already a band name. Poisoned roses? No already a band name. What were we to do! "Hey, you guys, what about open doorz?" Ricky said, a bit of excitement in his voice. " Cause if the lady asks how you got your band name, all you need to say is: We were wondering what our band name was and then we looked up and we were under open doors. So that's how we got the name! Plus we all agreed to it!
So that's what happened on tuesday afternoon. Band practice with Ricky, and band name choosing with the band. Hey, I should say With the open doorz!

my holiday
In the holidays mum took us hiking to waihere domain.
At the beginning of the walk, there was a playground. In the playground there were some plastic swings and a really bumpy slide . Rusty and I had to take turns on the slide otherwise one of us was gonna get hurt. We saw a empty pool, and some silly people had spray painted bad vibes on the pool sides.
At the end of the walk was a shimmery waterfall. There were stepping stones that went across a little stream that connected to a sandy pond. There was a cave on the other side of the stepping stones. It leads though the cave & up the waterfall were you find a cool looking place.
There is another way to get up onto the waterfall but, it is on a 6 foot tall cliff and the path is only as long as half a ruler. The path is long and steep.
At the end of the hike, we got to eat some delicious sushi that gave my stomach a tingling sensation. That was my favourite thing!
Seeya!
