How The Weka Got His Colourful Spots! by Ella

  There once was a weka, a very plain weka. It had no  character and was just brown. The little weka looked at his  friend and asked, "How come you are so colourful and pretty?"    His friend just looked at him,sighed and then flew away  into  the  sunset and didn't return. As he was flying away the little weka stared after him with a sad face.
 All of a sudden beside him was the prettiest  thing he had  ever seen. It was a RAINBOW!!!!!! . The weka was determined to fly to this rainbow and go  through it, hoping to earn his colours. So off he went on his  journey. About ten minutes later he had reached the rainbow.  He flew right through it. Suddenly he had a funny feeling shooting down his back and a tingle went up his spine. He looked down and saw that he was colourful. He was a very happy little weka.  And that's how the weka got his colourful spots.

How Baby Kangaroo Got Lost by Niamh

One hot day Mother Kangaroo went for a drink at one of the three close watering holes. Father Kangaroo was on the lookout so hunters couldn't hurt Baby Kangaroo. Mother Kangaroo had told Baby Kangaroo to stay where he was until she got back. He stayed and waited and waited. Finally he thought, "I'm bored." So he did a bad thing, he set out to find Mother Kangaroo. He hopped until the track split. "Left or right?" he thought. "Left!"
Again he hopped and hopped until he got to the first watering hole. There he met a turtle, a beautiful turtle with the most colourful shell. "Can you help me?" he asked, "I am lost."
"Go to the next watering hole. There my brother will also help guide you to where your mother may be. But I will guide you to him," replied the turtle.
Baby Kangaroo hopped off but the turtle's voice guided him. He hopped and hopped looking at the ground then BUMP! He looked up.
"Mother Kangaroo!" he cried.
"Come on, your father is worried about you, let's go home," she said softly.
So they hopped back home.

A long time ago, there was a man living in a desert. The man was getting bored and went for a nap. He had a special dream. In this dream he dug a waterhole and met the seven sisters.Then he went for a walk. On the way he climbed over four sand hills. He saw some kangaroo and emu tracks, two rock pools and a river. Then he saw some tracks from other aboriginal people. He followed the track and arrived at a village. He became good friends with them. Then a voice in his head said, "if you want to have this, dream as hard as you can, and then it is there."First he was thinking, "that's impossible!" But then he tried and he dreamed as hard as he could. He also dreamed that there was some tree tucker to have a nap under. When he finished dreaming everything was there.

How The Turtle Solved The Problem And Found Her New Home by Nicole and Hikaru

 

Part 1
Once upon a time there was a turtle and her seven sisters who had just been born in the nice golden sand.
The seagulls nearby were ready to grab the little turtles. She was fast and got to the water but sadly her seven sisters did not survive. She went into the water and she explored for a while. She climbed out of the water and found some land with a watering hole. Around the watering hole was an emu, a bush turkey and a kangaroo fighting over the water.

Part 2

She ran up to the watering hole and started to break them up but they kept on fighting and fighting. Finally when it was night time, they got really tired so they went back to their home.At midnight they all went towards the watering hole again. They ran to the watering hole as quiet as they could but then they saw each other at the same time so they ran to get there as fast as they could. But the water was gone because the turtle drank it all.

Part 3

The kangaroo, emu and bush turkey decided to not be upset about it. The turtle found her new home in the watering hole with all her friends. The kangaroo, emu and bush turkey decided that every time they were thirsty they would come to the turtle's home to get a drink.

Part 4
At night in the turtle's new home the turtle would look up at the sky and see the seven stars. She called them the seven sisters because she had seven sisters but they all died.

And that's how the turtle solved the problem and found her new home.
