Hide And Stuck

An 11 year old girl was playing hide and seek with her cousins and thought she had found a good hiding spot in the washing machine. While she was in the washing machine she felt her legs go numb and she couldn't push herself out. She got really scared when the device that stirs the clothes was pushing against her chest and made it hard to breathe.

Her sister tried getting her out with butter,peanut butter and even ice to try to get her to slide out. The sister called their mum and she rushed home with the girls aunt.

The mother couldn't get her daughter out so she called 911 and the fire-fighters were sent.S he was in the washing machine for a few hours.

I don’t think that was the best place to hide...

Watch Out Phone Thieves

300,000 mobile phones are stolen every year in Britain. A new feature known as the ‘kill switch’ is being added to Google and Microsoft Window phones. When peoples’ phones have been stolen the owner sends a signal to their phone which makes it stop working. Apple and Samsung have a similar feature on their devices.

However thieves may be able to still use these phones. The kill switch only works when the phone is on so the thieves might kill the kill switch when it is off.

Dog On A Log

On Saturday there was a dog on a log. In the water.

The dog was stuck on the log for three days. He was a black and white dog. People said the dog belonged to a fishermen and he might be wondering where his pet is. The Navy rescued the dog and they took him to Great Barrier Island police station.

(In fact, a fisherman knew where his dog was and was going to pick him up on the way back… But the navy ‘rescued’ the dog first.)

An Awesome Car Wash

On Saturday there was a huge car wash at Pukekohe Intermediate to fundraise for a kid’s school trip to Rarotonga. A man took photos of my mum and her friend holding up signs for people to come get their cars cleaned.There were four stations where the cars would get washed. Lots of people came to help and we nearly washed eighty cars or more.
