A Slender Loris is a small rain forest monkey. It was thought to be the first primate seen by man.
Habitat
The Slender Loris lives in thin strips of rain forest in India and Sri-Lanka and some areas of Ireland. A Slender Loris lives in tall ever-green trees with lots of vegetation and dry forest floors where it was safe.
Behaviour
The Slender Loris’s is a loving creatures who will risk their lives to protect their families. Slender Loris like any other monkeys grooms each other for fleas and eat them. A Slender Loris will have 2 babies a year, not many for a monkey. A Slender Loris family will be up to 4-5 members big but hunt in pairs of two. Slender Loris sleep in tight balls or cluster with its family till night time comes then they will hunt for food. They can change colour in different temperatures of heat.
Diet
Slender Loris eat insects some spiders and slugs. It also will eat plants, nuts, fruits and some small mammals and flowers. They will eat gun leaves if they can find them because there are many other animals that eat gum leaves.
Appearance
A Slender Loris has huge orange eyes with a white line going down to tis nose, it has brown grey or red fur. They have no tail but long legs and arms to help stay in trees. Its eyes are its most useful tool since it has night vision to see at night.
Life Cycle
When a Slender Loris baby is just born it looks like an alien monkey then when it grows fur, then when it’s fully grown it looks like a proper Slender Loris.
Slender Loris are endangered and need to be protected, if we each try to stop hunting their number could go up in the future.

My skeleton plot writing sample.
On the 21st of October the Ancient Victorian hall went up for sale because the owners had died and they had no will so the mayor had put it up for sale, many had seen advertisement because it was as pretty and as bright a butterfly swirling in the wind but they did not know that it was haunted by the ghosts of Alfred the butler, Mary, molly, Madeline the servants they could not leave the hall, they had to serve the hall till it was burnt to the ground in ashes only then could they rest in peace.
It was extremely important they liked the new owners, they felt the should have some say in who buys the hall Alfred was stern and made a couple of rules about who moved in.
A week later some people see the house like a family but molly (the servant) dropped dusty, dirty pot plants onto the floor which scared them away in seconds also a teacher came in to look she examined the gorgeous paintings In the first hall when Mary popped her face threw the painting and poked silly faces at snitch sent her screaming out the door pleased, congratulated and applauded they floated back up stairs when suddenly they heard a small creaking noise behind them they all spun around at once to find a small couple walking throw the door Madeline wanted a go at scaring them away so she picked up a statue a making it float towards them, but they did not scream or shout they just went to look in one of the master bed-rooms next Alfred tried hiding behind one of the paintings and bellowing “I will haunt your souls for ever but even that did not work, after many attempts they still weren’t even a little scared. The ghost felt absolutely stymied, till finally Mary (the smartest ghost of them all) told them to make friends with this couple, and before you could say I’m wearing pooh-bear under-pants they were all good friends. And the ghosts took on there old jobs to help out and when things got tuff they just said to themselves at least we aren’t languishing on our own and they lived ghostly every after and that was a long time.

Emma I know a story a true story it happened I think 20 years ago from today some people know but not the true story only I know.
I was walking in the cold, frosty snow I soon became lost it started to snow even harder and I would probably die before it stopped, so I ran to find shelter, I stopped for breath I sucked in big gulps of air I had been running for hours, then I spotted a light. Was? I dead no I was panting still it was a house light, even though I was puffed I rant to it, when I got there the owner welcomed me as a guest I was given food and water. The owner was very peculiar he kept staring at me as it I was a boy wearing a ball gown. Soon he told me this story that happened this very day three years ago he told me about the mail coach and how he wad driving four men home in his wrecked, dirty mail coach when the drivers Clydesdales slipped on the clear, slippery ice and toppled off the cliff taking the carriage with it, the passengers all died none of the bodies were found.
The weather started to clear up so I set off again , before I left he told me that if I hurried I could get a ride by the mail coach, and so I set off I felt a bit strange and scared, I soon lost track of time and soon it was dark. I got a huge fright when the mail coach came rushing up behind me at a very high pace, it was like a heard of elephants running away from its predator in on the hot savannah.
I rapidly waved my arms trying to get the drivers attention. it stopped so quickly it was like watching a movie in fast forward mode then stopping it as fast as light in a movie festival, the drivers were very peculiar because when I asked for a ride they didn’t say yes or no they just nodded and when I hopped in the passengers would not talk it like being in a library in the middle of the night. Suddenly for some reason I felt as if something was wrong I tried to open the door but it was locked tight. I heard a high pitch scream then everything went black I slowly opened my eyes it was 2 days after the ride in coach they had found nothing else.

scarecrow

The smith family was driving up to a small cottage they had rented for the weekend. They could hear the voices of chirping birds in the trees, but when they saw the cottage. Their eyes popped out of their skulls, it was gorgeous.
The only thing that scared them was the scarecrow. The families conversation turned to talking about how evil it looked like. “It looks like a bat or like it want to scare us not crows.” The whole family laughed at that one.
There was soon complaining coming from the oldest child because she had to sleep in the living room because her parents got the master bedroom and her 2 brothers go the other rooms of the house. It was so unfair and the worst part was it was the closest room to that unpleasant scarecrow languishing in the overgrown corn field. The sun was setting over the scarecrow which made it even more unpleasant and scary.
At 9:00 in the morning the Smith family got up, got ready and went for a walk and for some crazy reason the oldest child stays behind.
A couple of minutes later she hears a noise. She realises it is the kitchen phone buzzing. She runs to find it. She searches till finally she finds it. She answers it. There is nothing for a while until slow, oh ever so slowly, the sound, no, it could not be…yes, very heavy breathing.
She immediately hangs up, the chill of that heavy breathing is still slowly trickling down her back, a chill as cold as ice on a snowy dark winter night. It is as if someone is watching her every move. She slowly sits down in the leather chair. She keep searching the room as if expecting someone to be there. She slowly turns on the TV. It crackles then turns off. She stares at the field as if she had been expecting the scarecrow to be out there but it could not be….yes it is, the scarecrow was gone! Suddenly there is a knock on the door. She looks through the peep hole. No-one was there. She runs to the phone to ring her mum. Her mum’s phone rings in her mums bedroom. She runs upstairs and finds the tormented face of the scarecrow staring in tat her, so lifelike, so evil, she swears. She saw it blink at her. She begins to feel more and more terrified. She tries to scream but she’s too scared to make any noise at all. Suddenly a noise rings out not from her but from the phone. She ran down the stairs she would do anything to get away from that evil scarecrow. She grabbed the phone as quick as a cheetah running after its prey on the hot summer plains of Africa. She answers it but the only sound she could hear was a sound so terrifying. It made her faint.

We had to write a letter to the Minister of Conservation to argue why our pest was a major threat to our environment.
23 August 2009
The Honourable Tim Gosner
Minister of Conservation
Parliament Buildings
Wellington
Dear Mr Gosner
We have heard that there is some funding available to control our invaders that wreck NZ’s bio diversity. There are lots of invaders in NZ but we think that stoats have a major impact to NZ’s wildlife.
Firstly, they chew tree roots which are joined to trees and it needs their roots to breathe.
Secondly, stoats kill our native birds and steal their eggs. If stoats kill our native birds there won’t be a native bird like the kiwi or native animals to represent our country, NZ.
Finally, they’re a major threat to our eco-system. We rely on birds to get rid of annoying bugs and if there are no birds there would be more annoying insects.
In conclusion we say that stoats have the biggest impact to our bio diversity. Therefore we believe we should get the funding to start a campaign, to show the public what this pest is doing to our wildlife.
Yours faithfully
Maria and Timera

As Creepy walks into a cold dark cave the walls look like they are closing in on you. The ceiling drips with water from the rocks above you like a hyena dribbling. The rocks feel sharp as a pyramid. Suddenly an opening appears like magic. Creepy walks in. Suddenly there’s a loud bang and every thing goes dark. Creepy realise a boulder has fallen in the place of the door. Creepy has enormous tiger arms and a long stripy tiger tail to scare her enemies away. She has a pair of twitching insect antenna to feel her way through the dark. Sometimes she uses the glow of her vicious shark teeth. She has two funny looking vulture sings. She crushes beetles with her loud elephant feet.
A couple of villages spotted her. She thought she should fly away from the angry villages. She felt something crawling up her leg. She looked down and big black spiders were running up her legs. She wants to push the boulder out of the way but the villages would cut her in half. She gets an idea. She would smack the spiders with her tail and hoped the spiders would crawl away. The did. She had become thirsty with all her work. She found a couple of drops of water from the ceiling. It’s not much but it would have to do.
Below is my reflection on my writing.

My holiday recount (1st attempt with no teacher assistance)
In the Holidays me mum dad and my two brothers stayed at the beach in a tent. We went boggie bording 6 times a day. We go Mr whipy every morning at 11 oclock. One night we had a big bom fire and some girls coverd in Glow sticks and it was so dark you could only see the glow stick. The next day we had to go home we had lots of fun.
Holiday recount (reworked with teacher conferencing)
The bon-fire
We walked down the cold sandy beach to the sand crater where we were planting a bon-fire. My Dad carried the lumpy wood and put it into the enormous sand crater. We sarted up the bon-fire. We could see the wood burning inch by inch. Some one opened a bag of soft squishy marshmellours. We pushed them onto some long skewers and toasted them over the warm fire. Suddenly every thing fell silent. All I could hear was The huge blue waves crashing onto the sand. I felt tired so I went up to the big grey tent and went to sleep.

Purple
Purple is the colour of lavender in my bathroom
Purple is the smell of grapes growing in a greenhouse
Purple tastes like sweet, juicy blackberries
Purple is the colour of my favourite necklace.
