100 Word Challenge Jordan & Katelyn

Dear Paul,

It was Saturday afternoon, I told Tommy to come and see, but he refused to. I begged him but he just wouldn’t come! 

It was soaring over the hills, closer and closer, lights were beaming everywhere. I was shocked, I didn’t know what it was?

I sat in the living room scared to death and Tommy suddenly walked out to the living room to see what was going on and I shouted, “Look up can you see?”. He stood in shock, he started to rise, I screamed for Mum, “HELP!”

But before I knew it he was gone forever! Please help me!!

Cassie and Paul 100 word challenge

It was a cold lonely night. Bob and Joey were walking through a deserted city, once swarming with people, now a ghost town. No one knew where all the people vanished to. One day they were there and overnight  then they were gone. It was almost as if they were erased from existence never to be seen again.  As Bob and Joey were walking through the city they were giving up hope of finding anyone. They hadn’t seen any trace of human life for miles. 

All of a sudden Joey yelled, “ Look up! Can you see... there’s someone up there, motionless almost as if he’s frozen in time...”.

Look up! Can you see a plane, bird or cloud in the sky? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see what they see? Well I do. It would be like the sensation of an eagle’s eye view but you are the eagle! How cool would that be! The view of a Seagull, Tui or Kakapo! The chance to fly! Be a cloud or anything that can fly! Learn their language, live their life, hunt like them, fish like them, be them! To do that would take real creativity and imagination. That is something you should wonder. J

Cyclone Lusi Technology Challenge

Mrs Binnie started off by telling us what our challenge was, which was to construct a raincoat that had to protect us from Lusi the storm. Then she told us which things we were allowed to have for the challenge. We needed: 4 plastic bags, 6 paperclips, 1 roll of cello-tape and 1 piece of colored paper. 

We were put into groups of three to five. We started off designing in our heads what/how we were going to make our raincoat and what it was going to look like. We had to include… A hoodie that had to fully cover our head and a pocket that had to hold a phone. There had to be no gaps and had to fully cover our shoulders and torso. 

We chose the smallest person in our group so that the plastic bags could cover most of her body.

We fitted the first plastic bag over her shoulders and also her waist. We cut another plastic bag in half and used that for the sleeves, and last but not least, we put a plastic bag over her head (not covering the face!) to represent the hoodie.

We covered up the gaps with the left over plastic from the bags and paper-clipped the hoodie to the shoulders.

We only had half an hour to complete our raincoat so everyone was in a bit of a mad rush! 

After time was up we packed up all the mess we made and made our way to the floor. 

We left a gap in the middle of the floor to represent the cat-walk

and at the end Mrs Binnie waited with a camera to take the models picture… We had a lot of fun making and designing our very own raincoat! There were a few disagreements but it all worked out to be a great experience.

DEAR DAN CARTER,

I told her that you had sent that

box to me, but when she lifted the lid... she saw a rugby ball and started to cry. I got told off for letting her open it because she was scared of rugby balls. So my Mum sent all the gifts inside the box to the church. Now  I don’t have anything at all because of her. I felt like beating her up but then I would be grouded for life. So if you could, Dan Carter, can you send me another box and could you put a lock on it please.

Sophie & Macy

It all began on that cold, windy, horrific evening when Peter and Margret were cooking chicken noodles in a cup. Margaret was slowly and steadily lifting the lid off of the delicious noodles that she wanted to eat so badly, her temptation was getting to her. But when she lifted the lid she froze and said  “Oh... my... gosh. It's even more yummy than it smells like'. Her heart was beating so fast she couldn’t control it, she got her her metal, giant fork ready for the scrumptious feast, she scooped noodles out of the cup. They turned out disgustingly horrible.

‘But When She Lifted The Lid’

Dear Roselyn,

I told her and told her not to even TOUCH! the jar. That jar belonged to our Great Grandma who came from a secret association that worked under the New York City drainage of.. nobody knows. She dragged it out, scratching the wooden floor, from under Mother's bed and stared at it with her mouth wide open, wanting to know more. So she opened it, but when she lifted the lid... she saw a note at the bottom of the jar and it had some kind of magic word, so she whispered it and the world slowly ended!
