A giant zombie pterodactyl has taken a liking to roost on the rugby goal posts on the eve of the biggest match of the season. It’s up to team captain Rangi and his prop forwards to get rid of the giant beast.

Kererū have been writing stories following an exciting sentence starter.  These are the ones we did last week using the above sentence.

Captain Rangi and his prop forwards put broccoli on a string and led him to a crane. He gets hypnotized and dyed in the team colours. The huge crane lowered the container of dye. The pterodactyl was scared. If I was the captain I wouldn’t let it play rugby. The giant epic super zombie pterodactyl swooped and got a try because he swooped up so they could not tackle him. He got 5900 likes and subscribers. It was amazing and sick. By Max

He thought that it was a huge lolly actually he thought he took all of the balls. He ate them and they tasted disgusting. He hung upside down like a bat and he turned into a bat.  “Ggarsp”... It got locked up for three years but… he escaped. Two weeks later… he was a ghost, “Boo, boo, boo.”  He haunted the crazy crowd. He turned into a rainbow bat because he was way, way too happy. He won the game and he one a medal. By Kyla.

The pterodactyl flew straight up, then flew straight down, then scored a try for the team, and all of the players were proud of him. The pterodactyl got player of the day. He was very happy and surprised even though he was a pterodactyl. Still the players still like the pterodactyl and the pterodactyl loves them too.  Then the players put him back in his world, safe at last. No more flat balls ever, ever again. Now we can play rugby again and no more pterodactyls ever again. By Benji

The boss got a shotgun which shoots broccoli and they shot it into a bucket of soap. The pterodactyl fell into a trap and the trap was spray paint. It was red and yellow and his number was 22. He got some on and he got the ball. He flew away up to the sky and he came back to find and was visiting the goal post. He took the goal post and took down the biggest game of the year but it took a year to fix the goal post. The boys were angry because they will be in the camps and that means the finals. If they didn’t the zombie pterodactyl would get a trophy because he got 22 tries in a day. He has wings and he went up and then he flew over their enemies, scored a try and it was 22 nil. Nil means zero and the zombie went back to zombie words and he kept his two trophies in his house. He came back to watch his old friends play bugby and tackle. By Jonty.

Some kids came to the zombie and then asked the zombie to play for the team. The zombie agreed to play the game but the zombie didn’t know how to play. They took the zombie to the training center to train and they had to put the zombie in their colour. On the big game the zombie was to be subbed onto the game and the kids came to the zombie to say, “You're on big guy.”  Then the kids weren’t mad anymore at the zombie pterodactyl. Pterodactyl flew to the try line and the kids won the game. The zombie made a loud noise and the zombie flew away to play again. By Louie.

The zombie pterodactyl sat on the rugby post, the coach got some guns and shot it. They tried and tried but they kept missing so they used a broccoli blaster. They turned it into a giant piece of broccoli and they laughed. It was huge, almost as big as a skyscraper. They were so happy that it was gone and they had a party to celebrate. It was huge, at least an hour long and they even posted it on youtube. It got a lot of views, it went viral, and they were happy.  By Deveraux.

The pterodactyl tackles the paint with goo. The pterodactyl tips the goo on the rugby players. It was green and everyone laughed at them so they were mad. It was slimy and gooey, it was gross. The team captain and the rugby players made a pit of lava but the zombie pterodactyl didn’t fall for it though. I yelled at the pterodactyl and got a head of broccoli and annoyed the pterodactyl. It was crazy and epic. It swooped 26 meters down and scored a try. We went back home and brung his trophy and he put it in his house in dragon land. He built a mansion and he loved it because it’s diamond. By Hunter.

A giant zombie pterodactyl was perched on the goal post so the team captain asked if it wanted to play rugby. The dragon said, “Yes,” so they lured them with a piece of broccoli to the training zone. Then the team captain painted him red like their team colour and then he hypnotised him to be good at rugby. Then he got subbed on and he flew away with the rugby ball. All of a sudden it dived straight down and flew over the other players, then it dropped the ball on the try line. The crowd roared, the team cheered and it was a huge victory because the other team was their worst rival. The pterodactyl got player of the day and a big trophy. Then he went back to zombieland and celebrated it with all of the other dinosaurs. They made a replica of it in stone for a statue in the city. The pterodactyl got a special dino-novel prize in front of a crowd. The pterodactyl kept the trophy in a special spot in his house. His house was a big tree hut on the side of a big old extinct volcano. It was overlooking the enormous zombie city in the distance. He could go for a fly for some fresh air. The next day was another game so he flew back to the rugby pitch. He got ready for the game. Then the coach blew the whistle. He dived for the round ball, he grabbed it, then flew straight up, then he dived down with the ball, and passed it to another player. After the game he flew back to his house… By Lucas.

He lived a happy life with his children and wife. By Eddie.

The rugby team ran around the zombie pterodactyl. It was pretending they tried to get closer. Then the pterodactyl fell from the next and had a hurt leg.

Let me try to calm it down.” Then the Blues team came to say, “Hello,” and they sang. The zombie pterodactyl fell asleep and we took the ball back. Red team won and we celebrated with a party cake.

The zombie pterodactyl painted the red ball and it fell on one of the rugby players. After all of that, finally the rugby players caught up.
