I walk into the office building and everyone started to smirk and laugh I was wondering "why?" then I looked at myself in the mirror like windows and I was dressed like a clown! I didn’t remember putting it on but I was wearing these clothes. Then I ran out of the building and into my car. My beautiful Mercedes X had been replaced by a stupid as smart car. I decided to roll with it, I started the car and the engine roared to life. I vroomed down the highway. I will sadly never recover from this disaster. Oof.

*SCARY* WC100
*DON'T READ IF UNDER 10- THANK YOU*
They should never said yes. The guests thought they were entering a floating haven, Unknown to them this was a real-life hell-hole after they had dinner in the nice restaurant they went to a set bed which had clean clothes set for them, especially for them, it would be there last ever sight, the bed shelf with the built-in light as they closed their eyes and went to sleep, a chef came in decapitated them, and dragged their body to the kitchen and made into a meal for more oblivious and greedy guests.

FREEMAN
He was trapped suddenly, gradually, things started to move closing in on him. He was scared that he would die or be confined to a small space and die of starvation. The walls circled around him spinning like Ballerinas in dance it reminded him on his home far away and his children which he would never see again. He closed his eyes he felt a warm breeze life him off his feet and high into the sky above. He was ascending slowing, like a slow hover he rose above the enclosing circle he was going higher he was a freeman.

My Emoji Story
The Legend of the Immortal Ice cream in the mountain of Matterhorn!
By Levi
Back in the days of old there was a Urban legend of Ice cream that made whoever ate it immortal. Located in the Middle of the Mountain of Matterhorn in Switzerland. One day in America a rich man named Snobby McSnobbypants who was big and round as well as having the traditional McSnobbypants tiny mustache heard of the legend and wanted that immortality so he selected 3 of his best men 1 of them , Luca was from Switzerland himself he was known mostly for being a great skier, He had heard of the legends and had always his life's dream was to know If the Ice cream was really real or not.
After a long airplane ride they arrived in Zurich and brought hiking gear, Luca knew what they needed and brought some extra things one of the other two selected for the job scoffed and said "Ze boss will give us what we need and you aren't ze boss!"the other laughed, Luca was annoyed but carried on buying the extra things.
After 5 hrs of snoring, laughing, and conversations later they had arrived at the foot of Matterhorn. Clusters of buildings and a small cafe sat at the base of the mountain. Luca was excited the other two were nervous, one of them squeaked "I need to go to ze bathroom" and the other one piped "Ya ya ya me too" Lucas looked confused but nodded in acceptance, Then the pair bolted straight to the car and drove off laughing about how stupid Luca was to fall for their trick. Luca was sad, angry, Because he just realized that Snobby McSnobbypants wanted him to die!. But since he was at the Matterhorn he decided to complete his dream and find the Ice-cream.
Before he started the trek he decided to visit the small cafe it was actually a small Ice Cream parlour a old man was standing behind the counter Luca walked up to the counter "Hello young man!" the old man said cheerfully he look old like 1000 years old, he had crumpled white hair, A small goatee, and eyes white like the snow he wore a dusty red t-shirt and light green shorts he then said "I think you would like the old gold flavour ," ice cream flavour and while getting his ice cream the old man said "I don't get many customers in here," he paused then continued "I made this ice cream shop because I thought the myth about the ice cream was popular but apparently not," Luca finally finished his ice cream and walked out.
He started climbing the snow was cold his hands felt numb after 2 hours of climbing we found a rock pointed out of the stone he sat on it trying to catch his breath he had climbed 101 metres (331 feet) then he heard a distant rumble and then a wall of snow smashed into him he blacked out. When he woke up he was in the old man's parlour but it was full of people they were crowding around Luca and muttering "look he's not dead, broken, or scratched how?" Luca was bewildered all of a sudden the crowd parted and the old man came through Luca asked him "How am I alive?" the old man said "...
School interview- With my Mother
Why? Because she went to O.I.S when she was a child too and I want to see the differences between my Mothers time at O.I.S and my time at O.I.S.
Q.How big was the school when you were there?
A.It was 10 classrooms and about 260 to 290 students (in 2020 there are 10 as well)
Q.What was your favourite memory from O.I.S? and Why?
A.Year 8 camp because it was really fun and it was a good mix of kids. We did lots of cool activities like Abseiling, Orienteering, Bushwalks, Nighttime Obstacle course . Being in the bunk rooms with my friends were fun.
Q.Was Technology the same four as they are now? (Hard mats, Digi, Food and Textiles, Art) what was your favourite
A. We didn't have Digi Tech and Hard Materials was split between woodwork and metalwork. My favourites were Woodwork and Art
Q.What have you noticed visiting the School this year that was different to when you were there?
A.The Hub and Learning Center were resource sheds, The Hall set up completely different to how we had when I was at O.I.S , Also we had a big obstacle playground / course that has been removed.
There you have it folks a quick Interview about O.I.S in 1993 compared to O.I.S in 2020.
My opinions about my school
Pros:
The Canteen serves delicious food
Lots of Sportgear if you forgot to bring your ball / Accessories
Really nice teachers
Good field for playing games on
Great Sporting variety
Cons:
Far away from my home
The school uniform is a bit strict (for my liking)
Weird rules about coming into school
Sometime teachers dismiss bullying
Special events at my school
SPECIAL EVENTS AT MY SCHOOL
Today I will be telling you about five of our special events.
Triathlon team event- OIS is probably one of the only schools in Otago To have a Triathlon Team Event. It's when you and 2 others pick an event (swim, bike, run) and you do your event and your other two friends do the other events. It's a lot easier than the classic Triathlon but you don't get a reward like the people who do the classic Triathlon
Camp fundraising- At OIS we have a Year 8 (grade 7) camp and we have fundraisers for it. We either have a Garage sale, Make Cheese rolls, Make and sell Cakes, Take something to sell at a Mini Gala. If you really want to make sure that you have enough money to go to camp you can do all the options.
Cross Country- At my school we have a semi-big field that is big enough to run a full- fledged 1 kilometre (1036 yards) run. Everyone has to compete in Cross Country ( unless you're on holiday). If you come first in our Cross Country you go to the North Otago Cross Country and if you beat that you go to the Otago Cross Country.
James Hargest- At my school we have a sporting rivalry with James Hargest college in Invercargill where each year they come up to us in Oamaru or we go down to Invercargill and play sports with them. We play most sports Soccer, Basketball, Cricket, Netball and many other sports.
Year 8 camp- I may have hinted at this one earlier but this had to be on this list because It's the best part of OIS (apparently). You get to choose what Camp you go on for a whole week!. The options are Kiwi Explorer a camp for adventurous people who like Soccer and biking, Wainui a laid back camp for people that just want to relax, Boyle River a mix between Kiwi and Wainui relaxation on the first day and adventuring on day two, Last but not least Mt Somers it's basically Kiwi explorer but more hiking no biking and lots of scenic views. If you had went to my school which camp would you go on?.

I compare my school with Cobham Intermediate
This will make a long lasting Rivalry... maybe...
Similarities
Both in New Zealand
They specialise in year 7 & 8 (grades 6 & 7)
Differences (1 point will be scored for whoever is bigger or better):
Size
O.I.S 200 cubic metres (200 x 200 metres)
C.I.S 150 cubic metres (150 x 150 metres)
Decile scale
(the less the number the less money they need from the Government to run)
O.I.S: 6
C.I.S: 8
Number of pupils
O.I.S 382
C.I.S 624 (the school is small for the number of pupils!)
Suburbs that they are in:
O.I.S: Oamaru with a population of : 14,667
C.I.S: Christchurch with a population of 398,520
Total score
O.I.S- 2
C.I.S- 2
TIEBREAKER:
Best rating on Google (weirdest tiebreaker ever)
O.I.S: 4.6 stars
C.I.S: 3.5 stars
BUT... Cobham Intermediate had more good reviews than bad reviews meaning that it's a Tie!
My School's Grounds.
Well no, Compared to others schools my schools grounds are actually quite small. They are mostly made of dirt and more dirt our courts are made of concrete with steel basketball hoops spurting out of the courts. The library, classrooms, and office have been built around the court.

How World War 1 began
1906: The first event started 8 years before the the actual start of the First World War! It was the launch of the HMS Dreadnought a new naval ship which made every other ship in the world obsolete. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted to equal the new ship and make more starting a naval race. They were eager to face off and see whos navy was stronger.
1908: Austria- Hungary took some land from the Ottoman Empire and made a new country Bosnia and Herzegovina which angered the empire of Serbia forming a hate between the two countries , this spiraled into 2 mini-wars the first Balkans war and the second Balkans war which shrunk the Ottoman Empire.
28 June 1914,: Archduke Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austria- Hungary throne and his wife Sophie visited the Bosnian and Herzegovinian capital of Sarajevo they drove to the capital.
10:28 am: A group of six assassins with weapons from the Serbian gang Black hand planned to kill him the first assassin threw a grenade at the car and hit the car behind Franz.
10:40 am - 10:45 am: The Couple wanted to see the people that the grenade actually hit in hospital but the driver took a wrong turn and stopped to reverse Gavrilo Princip (the last assassin) ran in front of the car and shot the Archduke and his wife with a pistol he was treated as a criminal in Bosnia and Herzegovina but in Serbia he was a hero.
28 July 1914: Austria- Hungary and Germany declared war on Serbia, See that Germany declared war Britain declared war as well as France and Russia.

Droughts and Floods: Earth day
Droughts:
A Drought is when there is unusually long dry weather. There is lots of dust storms and not enough water to survive, people don't have enough water to nourish their crops and give water to their cattle so sadly people die of lack of food and dehydration. Droughts are getting a lot worse because of climate change and the world is getting warmer which is meaning more Droughts. When Droughts happen the ground becomes hard and when there's finally rainfall the ground is so hard that the water can't seep through to get to the soil and the water stays on top and floods.
Floods:
Floods happen when there is too much water and it overflows onto land. Floods have been a threat since humanity started. The water drowns the crops and drowns cattle ending in starvation. The worst Floods happened in China in 1931 and killed 2,500,000 people to 4,000,000 people. Floods have become more common because of the Arctic ice caps melting which is making the ocean levels rise onto islands.
