It was the first day back at school after the Christmas holidays, and the students were very excited . Today they would meet their new teacher. Their last teacher had retired and gone to live as far away from the students as possible.

The students were discussing the horrible things they would do to their new teacher.

“I’m going to blow my nose without a tissue,” said Georgie. “I hope she’s got a strong stomach.”

“I’m going to put a bucket of melted  cheese on top of the door,” said Connor.

“That’ll cheese her off,”said Peter.

“I’m going to put my whoopee cushion on her chair,” said Will.

“I’m going to throw a water balloon at her in the playground,” said Emily.

Then the bell rang. It was time to go into class. The kids trooped in and sat at their desks.

BOOM, BOOM, Boom. They heard something walking up the steps. They began to wonder just how big she was. The door opened and……

Suddenly they realised why the teacher had made so much noise coming up the steps.

She was a dinosaur. She was Utahraptor and she looked vicious!

“Silence!” she snapped and the class went very, very quiet.

The new teacher turned and shut the classroom door. Whack!!! The bucket of melted cheese fell on her head. She stepped to the front row of students, grabbed a boy and a girl, smeared them with the melted cheese, and ate them. “I was running late today and didn’t have any breakfast - that was delicious. Now lets get started with the lesson. Today we are going to be doing fossils.”

The new teacher sat on her chair and the whoopee cushion let out a dreadful noise. “Awww Miss,” groaned the class.

“Who did this?!” she shouted

The whole class looked at Will.

“Uh Oh,” said Will, jumping up. He leapt out of the window and ran for his life.

By recess the teacher had eaten seven students and the rest were discussing what they were going to do.

“Let’s run away,” said Mitchell.

“That won’t work,” said Mekaela. “Utah raptors are very fast runners.”

“I know,” said Will, who had snuck back into the school. “We could set a trap for her.”

“We could hang a cage up off the flag pole with a trip wire,” said Mitchell.

“That won’t work,” said Jade. “She’s too strong for a cage.”

“We could throw eggs at her,” said Georgie.

“That won’t work,” said Cooper. “She’ll get angry and just chase us faster.”

The kids discussed all their ideas but knew none of them was going to work.

Soon the teacher came over to the group. “Time to go back into class,” she said. “I’m hungry”.

By lunchtime she’d eaten another five students. There were only ten left. They sat under a tree and tried to make a plan. Will took off his shoes because it helped him to think better, and a terrible reek rose up.

The other kids groaned. “That smells horrible,” they said. “Put them back on.” “Hey! That gives me an idea,” said Joel. “Will has horrible smelling shoes, I have horrible smelling shoes and I bet everybody here has horrible smelling shoes. Take off your shoes and socks and put them in this sack”.

The bell rang and the kids went back into class. Will sat in the corner and when the teacher saw him she ran towards him in a wild rage. Just before she got to him a sack fell from the ceiling and landed on her head. It had Velcro ties which stuck to her skin and she couldn’t get it off. She started to panic and took a deep breath….. and then the smell hit her!

 It was the worst thing she’d ever experienced. It smelt worst that a skunk that had eaten rotten eggs, slept all night in the garbage and had forgotten to wash for the last 47 years. The teacher shrieked and ran screaming from the room. 

She was never seen again.

And the next day the kids looked forward to meeting their new teacher…..

The End.
