1. A STRANGER CAME... PUKEKO 1 2.4.2014

2. A stranger came to Earth. He was dressed with black and grey. He had a big bag so he could take all the sounds away. He took away the croaking of the frog. The sound of toast popping out of the toaster, the phone ringing. The sounds of chattering children singing. The sound of the donkey going ee-oyre. Adam A stranger came. He was wearing black and grey. He had a big full sack with sounds in it. He took the tapping of shoes on the hard ground, the brmm of a lawnmower, the croaking of frogs on a lily pad. The rustling of wind in the trees, the chatter and scream of children in the playground. The tick-tock of a clock, the crash of an earthquake when the furniture breaks, the piano in the music room, a baby waking up from a nice nap. The fantail singing a song, the cicada chirping, the doves singing a song, a horse clip, clop, clip, clop. Some computers working. Olivia A stranger came. He took the ticking of the blue clock on the wall and the ssss of Sammy Snake. The tinkling of my music box in my playroom. Katie

4. A stranger came into house. He took the frogs croaking in the pond, the baby crying in the cot. Libby The stranger came wearing black and brown clothes. He took the sound of a frog croaking and a clock ticking on the wall. The vroom of a lawnmower and the wind rustling on the trees and the sound of a baby waa-ing in his cot and the chirping of chickens and the sound of music on the T.V. and the birds singing and the noise of a fantail tweeting. Tyler The stranger came to Earth wearing black and grey with a big bag. A waah of a baby crying. The ring of a telephone. Mya

5. A stranger came into town. He was wearing black and grey. He had a bag and he took the sounds away. He took away the sound of birds chirping in the trees. “Ha, ha, ha” said the stranger. Away he went, then he took the sound of air coming out of a popped tyre and the sound of furniture crashing in the earthquake. Zoe A stranger came to take noise. No one knows where he took the noise. He took the knock of the doors, and the snap of pieces of blu-tak. The talking of children, chatty children. The bark of dogs, the quack of ducks, the stamping of shoes, the tiny ring of a bell. The songs on the radio and the crunch of fruit. Rosara The stranger took the sound of the dragon blowing water out of his mouth in the pool and the growling of bears in the caves. Brock

6. A stranger came to earth. He had a big bag and he wore black and white. He took the sound away from a clock ticking and the sound of a frog croaking. The sound of ta T.V. in the lounge, the crying of a baby and the chirping of cicadas and the vroom of a lawnmower. Then he took away the sound of lions and tigers. Riley The stranger took away the sounds of a big drum banging in the band. Ajay The stranger took away the chirping of birds and the croaking of frogs in the pond and the barking of dogs in the kennel. Kyro

7. A stranger came. He was dressed in black and grey. He had ab big bag. He took all the sounds in the world. He took the Vroom of the tractor ploughing a paddock. He was like a crook. He took the whirring of a lawnmower cutting the grass. He took away the ringing of the telephone. He took away the popping of toast out of the toaster. He took away the ee-orying of the donkey. He took away the crash of a vase breaking. He took away the croaking of the frogs. He took away the sounds, he only left silence. Dylan A stranger knocked on the door. He took away the meowing of the cat on the chair. Catherine
