Dragons

by Andrew

Have you ever wondered about dragons?  If so, read on. There are many different kinds of dragons.  In this text, you will find a description of several different kinds of dragons, as well as a legend about each one.   

The first dragons are Golden Winged Raptors.  They have gold wings and three claws on each foot.  Golden Winged Raptors are as tall as two houses stacked on top of one another.  They are as wide as a school bus.  The Golden Winged Raptors have two horns on their heads and they can breathe fire.  

Romans once worshiped the Golden Winged Raptor.  But once they saw an actual Golden Winged Raptor and when they went to worship the dragon, it attacked them.  Almost all the Romans died, except one smart Roman who shot the dragon with a harpoon.

The second type of dragon is an Armored Dragon. It is born with armor on it.  The Armored Dragon does not breathe fire. It can teleport, change shape, and has fireproof skin.  It is as tall as three cars stacked on top of one another.  It is as wide as two cars beside each other.  This dragon has three horns and two claws on each foot.

Armored Dragons used to be used to protect Asia.  They fought all kinds of other dragons!  Once, the Armored Dragons turned on Asia because people were doing bad things.  They broke all the houses, buildings, barns,- everything!  After they did that they found a cave and that is where they all lived the rest of their days.

The third dragon is Vegal.  His skin is purple.  He has one hundred teeth.  He lives in Antarctica and kills every dragon he sees.  He never leaves Antarctica and he hypnotizes people to do things he wants them to do.  He is the strongest dragon ever.  There is only one Vegal.  He is his own type of dragon, there are no others.

Long ago, Vegal hypnotized a Monk to kill all of the other monks.  After Vegal was done hypnotizing the Monk, monks who were still alive went to Antarctica to kill Vegal.  The surviving monks tried to kill Vegal, but sadly, they were all killed by Vegal.

The fourth type of dragon is the Double Terra Dragon.  This type of dragon has two heads and only lives in the desert.  These dragons used to be big but over time they grew smaller.  Now they are only as tall as one car and as wide as a door.  They spit rocks and only eat lizards.  If they see grass, they die immediately.

Once, there was a Double Terra Dragon that did not pass out or die when he saw grass.  This Double Terra Dragon ruled Earth.  He was in charge of everything that moved.  People did not want a dragon to rule them, so they tricked it into going to Antarctica.  The Double Terra Dragon met Vegal in Antarctica.  Vegal killed him.

The fifth type of dragon is a Cloud Dragon.  Cloud Dragons used to be deadly, however over time they changed.  When they changed, the Cloud Dragons became the friendliest of all types of dragons.  Cloud Dragons are cloud shaped with one claw on each foot, three horns, eyes, and a mouth.  They are as wide as a carpet and as tall as a piano.

Long ago, the Cloud Dragon was the second deadliest dragon ever.  He killed everybody who was nice.  Since he killed everybody who was nice everybody left in the world was mean.  Then two Armored Dragons fused together and killed the Cloud Dragon and then most of the people became nice.  After this, all the Cloud Dragons that were born were nice.

The sixth dragon is a Flame Dragon.  The Flame Dragon breathes fire, has two horns on its head, and has five claws on each foot.  They only live in volcanos. They are as tall as a tower and as wide as a building on its side.  They are all red.

Once, very far back in time, a Flame Dragon guarded a tower.  He was forced to because if he did not Vegal would kill him.  Guards forced the Flame Dragon to guard the tower because there were riches there.  When the guards came for the riches, the dragon killed them because they told him to guard the tower.  Then the head of the guards hired a knight to kill the dragon.  The knight killed the dragon and got the riches back.

The seventh type of dragon is the Terror Dragon.  Terror Dragon starts every single nightmare people have.  They are invisible, have three claws, but no horns.  These dragons can be as big as they want and can change their size.  Even though they could probably beat Vegal, they are afraid of Vegal.

Long ago, Terror Dragons helped people have good dreams until one day when a King wanted a Terror Dragon to visit a spooky place.  It took the Terror Dragon three days to travel to the spooky place.  He was frightened.  He came back from the three day journey and ever since he and all the other Terror Dragons give people nightmares.

The eighth type of dragon are Acid Dragons.  Acid Dragons can melt anything. Their height is as big as a skyscraper and their width is as wide as four filing cabinets beside each other.  Acid Dragons have five claws on their feet and three horns on their head.

Long ago, an Acid Dragon lived when the dinosaurs lived.  Every night, he would have a feast of dinosaurs, because he had a feast of dinosaurs every night he had to be a very good hunter.  After a long time there were no dinosaurs left.  That is why the dinosaurs went extinct.

The End

Matt The Dragon

By Kate

Once there was a dragon and his name was Matt. Matt had a brother named Charlie, a dad, and a mom. They lived in Dragonville. Matt’s dad wanted Matt to be mean and to eat little animals.  But Matt did not want to be mean and eat small animals.  He was nice and he liked to eat leaves on trees. Matt’s dad, brother, and mom were the opposite. They were mean and liked to kill animals.

Whenever Matt could he would save the animals. His dad was so mad that he made Matt go to summer school to learn how to be a real dragon.  At summer school Matt was given a list that said what he needed to be a real dragon. The list said that you need to have your teeth sharpened, you need to have your fire flamed, and you need to have your claws scraped.  Matt did not like this at all.

“You need to go to it!’’ his dad said.

“No!’’ Matt said and he stormed upstairs.  I am leaving he thought. He got some leaves, blankets, and clothes and he left.

It took him a while to find somewhere to stay then finally he found a small cave. By 3:30 he had eaten all of his leaves so he went out to find some more.  He saw that most of the animals were scared to see a dragon walking in the forest. He looked for leaves for half an hour.  Finally he got tired of looking and went to ask someone for directions.  

He saw a rabbit hole close by he walked over to the it.

“Hello,’’ Matt said, “can you tell me where I can find some trees?’’

The rabbit did not get out of the hole but it poked its head out.

“Why would I help you?’’ the rabbit said in a weak voice. “You ate everyone in my family and now it's just me,” said the rabbit.  Then she started to cry.

“That wasn't me!” Matt said “I tried to protect your family.”

“Then if it wasn't you, who was it?” she said angrily.

“My family,” Matt said.

“If you are really a nice dragon,” she said “and you're not trying to trick me, go get me some carrots.  There is a farm three miles down to the left.”

Matt took off to get carrots.  He got back two minutes later with his arms full of carrots. The rabbit looked really happy when she saw all those carrots.

“Wow,” she said. “I will make a deal with you, if you can get me carrots every week, I will tell you where the best trees are,” offered the rabbit.  

“Deal!” said Matt.

The next two weeks were good for Matt. He kept his promise, every week he would get carrots for the rabbit and she told him where he could find the best leave.  The leaves were so good!

Matt found out the rabbit’s name was Lavender.  Matt and Lavender became friends.  He was having so much fun Matt did not even think about his family.

Back in Dragonville, Matt’s mom and dad were talking.

“I miss him,” said his mom. “I want him to come back.”

“No,” said his dad. “He is a disgrace.  He left.”

“No, I want him back!” said the mom. “Charlie, go off and look for your brother and when you find him make him come home.”

Charlie took off.

Matt was laying in the sun right outside his new cave when Charlie showed up.

“Mom wants you to come home,” Charlie said to Matt.  

“No, I like it out here, ” Matt said.

Suddenly, Lavender appeared and Charlie attacked. Three seconds later, Lavender was gone and Charlie burped.

“Hey, that is my friend!” Matt yelled.

“Was your friend,” Charlie corrected. “Now come on, mom said she will make a deal with you if you come home.”

“Fine,” Matt said, so the two dragon brothers left Charlie’s cave and went home.

Half an hour later Matt and Charlie both got home.  

“There you are!” said Mom. “Now if you go to that camp you don’t have to be bad.”

“Did Dad agree?” asked Matt.  

“Well,” Mom brought her voice down to a whisper and continued, “No, but you can be good anyway.”

“Okay,” Matt said.

Healthy Living

By Emma

    Are you a busy person? Do you get outdoors much? Do you get frustrated easily? Well, if you are any of those things and aren’t as mentally and/or physically healthy as you’d like to be, here are some ways you can be more healthy easily.

Exercise

   Exercise is one of the many ways you can get healthier mentally and physically. Exercise may be hard to squeeze into your daily routine if you are a busy person but it is worth it. The way that exercising can make you more mentally healthier is, it may help calm your nerves. It can also, make you more happy.  Exercise also helps you physically, too. There  are a variety of different exercises that you can do to make you stronger and also, help you lose weight. For example: burpees, jumping jacks, sit-ups, mountain climber, and push-ups. Those are just some exercises that may help you.

          

Vitamin G

    Vitamin G is the second way I will talk to you about today. If you don’t know what Vitamin G is, I will explain it to you. Vitamin G is not a vitamin that you eat. It is a different type of vitamin. Some people say that it’s a vitamin for your mind. Vitamin G is what you need when you don’t get outside enough. Do you have an idea of what it is? Vitamin G is another way of saying green time. Vitamin G is when being outside helps stimulate your mind. In other words, doctors believe that being outside helps your mind by making it think.

    

     Many health experts call the problem of kids not spending enough time outdoors “NDD” or “nature deficit disorder.” The obvious way to cure this is, getting Vitamin G. Studies show that spending time outdoors automatically makes people more happy and more focused. That’s how Vitamin G can help you mentally.

Healthy Food

   Eating  healthy food is a great way to get fit! Eating healthy also helps your heart!❤️ Some bang-up healthy foods are apples, carrots, oranges, bananas, broccoli, and lemons.  If you naturally go for junk food, maybe try diets. Diets go along with healthy food. Most diets decrease the amount of junk food you eat for a period of time. Anyway, eating some types of healthy food can help your night vision, help you reduce calorie intake, help your sense of smell, help your heart, and more!!

       Did you find a way you like? Hopefully, you did!! Remember to always stay healthy!

    

     

 

Bullying

Fight Fire With a Fire Extinguisher

By: Emma

The topic I'm talking about is really important. Bullying. The definition of bullying is,  repeated, aggressive or unwanted behavior, directed towards school aged children.

Have you ever heard the saying, “Fight fire with fire?”

It's basically saying, if someone did something mean, be mean back. That is wrong. You should fight fire with a fire extinguisher, not a bully. In other words, if someone is being rude..don't be rude back, instead be kind to them.  

I know how hard that can be, but I suggest following this saying instead, “Just kill em’ with kindness.” Don't literally kill them, instead be kind to the bully, no matter what.

If you or someone you know of is being bullied, don't be a bystander...speak up. Tell a teacher or another trusted adult immediately! Don't fight fire with fire, it just makes more fire. Don't be a bully to a bully, it just makes more bullies.  Instead, speak up and remember, alway, no matter what, be kind.
