Girls’ Northeroos Topple Hay Public
Report by Tabitha Napier
On Wednesday, our Northies girls’ soccer team went off to play Hay at their home grounds for
round 2 of the PSSA soccer knockout. Some of us thought they would beat us by a mile- but they
didn’t! Our northtastic girls won with a convincing score of 4-1. Choosing which position each of
us took, we all chose pretty well. We all co-operated and worked as a team to get the ball to our
scoring end of the field like we’d been doing it our whole lives! Well done to our goal kickers-
Chloe Paton who scored 2 goals, Hannah Dunmore with 1 goal and Holly Amor with 1 goal. Thank
you to our parent drivers, Jane Frazer, Geoff Mulham, Rachael Napier and our amazing coach
Miss Smith who also took a few girls. Next week our girls are competing against Leeton at our
home ground at Rotary Park. Well done team! (Photos from Rachel Napier)

Netballers Knocked Out by Southern Cousins
Report by Sophie Willis
The Northies netball team went off to play a good
game of netball against South last Tuesday. The
Northtastic team of Chloe Paton, Sophie Willis, Holly
Amor, Samantha Hughes, Charlotte Strong, Olivia
Manzin, Jemma Smith, Sophie Murray and Kira
Dickie, showed some great skill throughout the game.
In the first quarter our Northies scored 1 goal with
South showing great defence.
Second quarter scoring 2 goals, we had picked up our
game a little more but we were still behind.
Moving on to the third quarter we were attacking the
ball and taking every chance that we had, leaping for
the ball. It really payed off and we scored 3 goals!
By now Mrs Hunter barely had any nails left. Our last
quarter, was definitely our best but we couldn’t quite
get all of our goals in the net, scoring 2 goals. It was
a tough game, but we played amazingly ending with a
score of 8-12, South’s way. Thank you to all parents
that drove and to Mel Dudley for time keeping. But
most of all, a big thanks to Mrs Hunter, our super
coach.
X-Country Team Does it Tough in Wet Weather

athletes managed to qualify for the DPSSA team
which will head to the Riverina carnival, in the coming
weeks:
Eimear Gogarty-4th

Charlotte Strong-1st
Charlie Dudley-2nd

We wish them, all the best!

….. Then, a big flashing light came down right in
front of them. It was no ordinary light. It was a
UFO. Out came a big gooey monster, named Mr Goo.
Mr Goo challenged them to a tug-o-war game…..

“Hey Harry!” said Luke. “Do you want to take Ben for
a run?”
Luke had a dog called Ben. He got Ben when he was
four. He was a pup, off a farm nearby. Luke and
Harry were best friends and they went everywhere
together. Harry’s backyard was enormous, three
times bigger than a normal one. Luke lived on a farm
of about 2000 acres. He had been everywhere on his
farm, except for a paddock at the back. In that
paddock the grass was always green. The trees were
always enormous and there was lots of feed for
cattle. Luke wondered why his father never let him
in the back paddock….

“Aargh!” Said Chubby.” It’s school athletics day!”
“Torture!” cried Skinny.
Chubby and Skinny were walking to the Carbonara
Oval. They were both wearing the same red clothes.
They were in the same team, The Red Faces.
When they finally got to the oval, the running had
started. Chubby, especially hated running. So the
two boys hid in the boys toilets until it was time for
the tug-o-war…..

…..The Tugganata was the strongest monster to ever
rule the land. It was kept in a cage made of titanium.
Ding! Dong! The bell rang to start the tug-o-war. The
two boys went over and gripped the rope so hard it
felt like holding a ton of bricks.
Ready! Set! Go!.....

It was a lovely day as Jake, Bob and Eddie went to
go fishing. They decided to go to the swamp. ” There
are good, juicy things there!” Bob said.
“Yeah!” said Jake.” Like crayfish!”
So, off they went.
Once they got there they found a rope. So, instead
of using fishing lines they used the rope. They put a
bit of meat and cheese on it.
After a few hours, the rope started to wobble….

“Ouch!” Cried Flubber.” My bottom is being scraped!”
Flubber and his absolute best mate Timmy were
having a game of tug-o-war. It was game on; Flubber,
Timmy and Rex the dog, versus Winkler, the next
door neighbour’s pig. The two boys were asked to
babysit it, while Mr and Mrs Slum were on holidays….
By Hannah Dunmore
…. When they got to the hill, with their rope, Jack
saw something in the sky.
“It’s a meteor!” screamed John. ”We’re going to die!”
Doge, the dog started barking at the thing in the
sky.
“Don’t be stupid, John. It’s a UFO!” Jack yelled, over
John’s constant screaming.
Jack was right. Hundreds of UFOs were streaming
down to Earth……

…Wazza was having a sleepover at his best friends
for his birthday. Goater (the family pet) saw some
succulent and juicy looking sausages, and when he
went for the sausage glory, he heard; SCRUFF!
BING!...noises, coming from the front yard. He
thought he should go and have a look. He jumped out
of his skin at the sight of Wazza and Baz playing tug
-o-war with a DODO! How could it have survived the
meteorite?...

The Four Humongous Dinosaurs
Late one afternoon, the four dinosaurs went for a
stroll. On the walk, the mummy dinosaur said, “It is
time to move out and get your own houses!”
The first dinosaur built a house out of paper. The
second dinosaur built a house out of cotton candy.
The third dinosaur built a house out of garbage. The
last humongous dinosaur built his house out of toilet
paper.
A little fly came along. He was a super strong little
fly and he had a chainsaw. He chopped the first
house down! The humongous dinosaur ROARED and
ran to his brother’s cotton candy house, cracking the
ground as he ran. The fly fell in the crack and died!
The dinosaurs laughed and lived happily ever after.
The end!

WHAT’S BEHIND THE DOOR?
STORIES FROM 3/4H
Xavier woke up and decided to go to a waterpark. It
was really bright when he got out of bed. He got
dressed in his favourite suit. He got in the car and
drove to the closest waterpark….
The strangest thing happened. He opened the door
to the water park and there, was a huge pipe sticking
out. Xavier wanted to go into the pipe and before he
knew it,… plop! He was getting pulled into the pipe.
Xavier had just fallen into a deep slumber. Swish,
swash, swish, swash! His head hurt from falling on
the beach. Wait, this was no beach, it was an island.
It was just like the movie that he had watched
yesterday. He felt so stupid.
He thought about it, and decided to make a fire. He
got heaps of bark for the fire and some for shelter.
Finally, the fire was lit. Then, suddenly, SLUMBER!
Plop! Plop!
“Rain!” Xavier shouted. “Rain! Freshwater finally! A
boat!” Everything was going great.
He called out to the boat and the crew came over.
He went home, well, actually, to the hospital. At the
hospital, they said that all the salt water was good
for him. Xavier had a goldfish’s memory and forgot
about yesterday.
Then, amazingly, on the next day,it happened all over
again.

One afternoon, I was riding to my friend Will’s house
because he got this new video game where you smash
gnomes with a sword. When I got there, I knocked
on the door. No one was answering.
So, I opened the door to see if he was home, but
when I opened the door, there were all of these
little gnomes running around. I thought Will was
trying to prank me, until I saw him stuck up on the
roof. The gnomes had come alive and jumped out of
the TV screen. They had big, black beards and these
massive hats with big dots and squiggly lines.
So I went to get a ladder to get Will down, but the
gnomes were in the way. Quickly, I thought they
hate swords…..

Ch..Ching! That’s the sound of money coming out of
my pocket to buy an awesome pogo stick.
When I had bought it there was a button on it. It
said, ‘Turbo on!’ I pressed it and it went bonkers….

Phew! I’ve been climbing this mountain for hours,
possibly even days, months! Wait! Let me guess-you
are wondering why I was even climbing it anyway?
Am I right? I knew it. Well, let me tell you, right
from the beginning.
I was invited to a party on the 21st of May. The
invitation didn’t say who had sent the invite. It just
said that you were invited to a party up in the
mountains, and also, it said that my name was Alice.
Well, my name is not Alice. It is Emilia Emilia Johns.
The person that sent the invite has no sense of
taste, because his or her invite was brown and black,
and all the colours that I hate.
Anyway, I got the invite and off I went….

Knock! Knock! Frankie heard a knock on the door. He
opened the door. There was no one there. He looked
at the ground. There was a letter. It was an
invitation. He picked it up and opened it. It said,’
dear Frankie, you are invited to my birthday. From
Bobbly.’
That sounds great, I thought. I have to get a
present for him. I know that he loved plants. I will
get him a really good plant.
I went to the shop and I saw the best plant ever. So
I brought it home and wrapped it up in some
wrapping paper.
The next day, it was Bobbly’s birthday. I was so
excited….

One day, my friend came over and we bounced on the
trampoline.
Later, we went back inside, but we forgot to close
the door, and a very annoying baby crawled in. We
thought it was cute at first. But, when it got to the
bathroom, there was trouble. The baby flooded the
whole bathroom, using the shower and the toilet.
Why did he do it?
I told my family, and they were angry. I went to the
bathroom to find him. The baby wasn’t there. Where
did he go?...
By Brodie Barlow
…. When we got home, the door was open. My room
was a mess. Dean’s room was a mess, and there were

the babies. It was hard. We didn’t know their
names…..

It was a very stormy night. Weirdly, it was actually
summer. My friend, Matilda was at my house for a
month because her parents were on a romantic
getaway; which is good, because we’re technically
having a sleepover for a month.
You’re probably thinking,it is not a sleepover, be-
cause we have to go to school, but you see, it’s the
summer holidays, so BOOM! Ha! Ha! Yay!.. Back to
the story.
Matilda and I heard something. It sounded like a
baby crying. Me and Matilda got our gumboots and
raincoats and went out to see what was going on. We
opened the door. A baby zoomed in.
At first, Matilda and I bought the baby was cute and
funny. Then, another baby zoomed in. The two babies
looked exactly like each other. They stood up and
said,” we will get our revenge. We will destroy you!”….

everything down. It was evil.
I took it to the bath. I went to get something to eat
and when I came back the bathroom was filled with
bubbles. While I was getting something to eat the

The bubbles went through the window….

One day, my mum said that I have to babysit my
baby sister.
After one hour, I took my baby sister to have her
nap. The problem was, my baby sister, Amy wouldn’t
go to sleep! So, I went to sleep instead.
When I woke up, Amy had put mashed up spinach
everywhere in the kitchen. Also, she was watching
the TV. Now, I had had enough.
I put up posters that said,’ COME AND GET A FREE
BABY!’ Then, I took her to an old shop.
“I would like to hang up a poster to sell my baby
sister, please.” I said to the shopkeeper.
“Alright then,” said the shopkeeper.
So, I hung my poster up.
“Now it’s time to go home,” I said to myself.
When I got home, my baby sister was crying, so I
gave her a bottle of milk. Then, she fell asleep. I put
in the bedroom, and watched my favourite TV show.
All of a sudden,….

One day, I was going to play with my sister, Jess.
I saw Jess with a box, and on the box, it said, ‘DEAR
OWNER, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF ME!’
After I read it, I showed it to mum and dad.
I opened it.
Mum said, “oh my!”
“It’s a baby!” said dad.
The next morning, I heard a,’ FLUSH!’
“It could be the baby,“ I said to myself.
Then, I walked to the toilet, and I saw the baby
having a bath in the toilet, with bubbles.
Then, mum came and said, ”oh my gosh! One more
thing; and that baby goes out!”

I was getting ready to go to my auntie’s house
because she was having a baby.
When we were all ready, we got in the car. Dad drove
the car to my auntie Jane’s place.
When we got there, we had to go to the hospital,
because the baby was ready to be born.
After the baby was born we went to our auntie’s
house. The baby got a toy and threw it at someone’s
face. Someone picked the baby up and the baby
jumped up onto the fan. The fan broke, but someone
saved the baby.

Just then, dad got home from work. He works at

the couch. The baby was throwing the cushions
