The Secret City of the Gongas
By Luke
Grade 4

Once upon a time there lived the Gongas. They lived in a city under the deep, dark, scary woods.
Far away from the woods there lived a boy, Justin, who was five years old. One day, he was running from a bully and he ran into the dark, scary woods. Then he fell through a hole. He looked around and he was in the lost city of the Goby Gongas.
The Gongas liked him and said that he could come whenever he wanted. Justin helped the Gongas refill the hole and make a latch so he could get out at night. He first made a bigger home so that he could go anywhere in the woods. He heard his mother call, so he opened the latch and ran back to his house for dinner.
The next day, Justin went back to Gonga City and asked them if they would help him stop the bully. They agreed and they got goo guns and weapons and scared the bully off.
Justin and the Gongas had a great life.
The End.

Shadow's Dance
By Corinna
Grade 4

As I walked along,
there danced an unnoticable black figue.
I looked here and there
but there wasn't a single person in my sight.
When I turned around,
I noticed the figure did the same as I did.
I did a dance and the figure did the same.
It was then that I realized
the shadow was mine.
I nicknamed her Shadow Dancer.
