…but I didn’t understand the instructions… by Lexi

There I was, travelling cluelessly at 24,790mph through space. Let me take you back an hour... 
Deafening screams of pain and fear echoed throughout the once peaceful planet. I was laying in bed, scared, until my dad came running in; his hands shaking and eyes red and teary. “They’re here!” he whispered
“Who are?”
“The humans!” I scrambled out of bed and together, we tiptoed cautiously down to the secret bunker holding the one and only: ‘Space rocket 2000’. He gave me the guide on how to use it, but I didn’t  understand the instructions in the book! 5,4,3,2,1 blastoff!

''But I didn’t understand the instructions!'' Courtney cried.

''You should have looked at them more carefully then Courtney! '' Imani shouted back at her. The two girls looked furiously at each other.

''What have you two girls done?'' questioned their mum.

''She did it.'' They shouted at each other as they pointed at each other.

Later that afternoon Imani went to her friends and Courtney was left at home she went onto the internet and decided to get a replica of their school project and gave it to Imani when she got back.

She got back and apologised to Courtney.

…but I didn’t understand the instructions… by Maddie

Earlier on today, I had to do my homework which was sooooo hard!!! I even had to bring my dumb mum to try and help me. That didn’t work. I knew what you had to do but I didn’t understand the instructions. Why do I have to do it anyway? It's all just stupid stuff which wasted half a day of my life which I will never get back again. Thanks, teachers!! Anyway, now I have finally finished and I ran to the freezer and got a chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream with a flake, smarties and a cone.

I was sitting on my chair one day in summer, when I realised, I was hungry. I sprinted downstairs and went into the cupboard where the bread was, I needed my PB&J sandwich. Then something awful happened...

I looked at my hand because usually I have the instructions on there, but I must've washed my hand because they were gone.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

I ran upstairs quickly and sat on my floor. I pulled a big black case out from under my bed and looked inside. There they were, the spare instructions that my mum had written. I started looking at them, but I didn't understand the instructions...

Laser by Samuel

"Make sure you read the instructions if you do then nothing can go wrong," explained Commander Johnson. Johnson had created a laser with a group of scientists to destroy a satellite launching nuclear bombs into the earth's most iconic landmarks and countries but for some reason this great commander trusted a rookie with the laser.  

Two months later, it was time to destroy this satellite but one mistake and it would blow up our beautiful earth. "But I didn’t understand the instructions!" said the rookie. 

 "It's too late now I'm sorry I trusted you!" said Johnson. It's all over. 

…but I didn’t understand the instructions… by Ella

It was a normal day like any other but summer was here, summer was my favourite time of the year. It meant no homework. I would just sit watching TV all day long and only eat junk food. Sometimes I would often imagine I was in a TV show called Pirate madness and all the pirates would speak with funny accents. My hero Captain Blackboot told me one day to find the old treasured pirates loot on the Stolen Island , but I didn’t understand the instructions so I sailed off all on my own following the old treasure map.

…but I didn’t understand the instructions… by Maya

"But I didn’t understand the instructions!" There I was, shouting and arguing with the teacher, telling her about my missing homework. This was one of my old excuses. Things have been hard lately. Mum had been worse than usual and I had to do everything around the house. At home it's only me, Mum and Daisy (our dog). I just don’t have time to do homework or to play out with friends or anything. I just hope that one day Mum will get better and we could do all the things we used to do together. I wish...

…but I didn’t understand the instructions…by Scarlett

Yesterday morning I had been oblivious to what was happening. I was awoken by screaming. When I opened my eyes I saw my wall illuminated by crimson lights so bright that it burned my eyes, and saw huge metal bullets hit the earth. People outside shouted at me to do stuff, but I didn’t understand the instructions, but mum quickly ushered me outside and underground into a bleak room. 12 hours later, mum lead me out of the room and outside. I stood dazed as I saw my cute little hometown was now just a smoky field full of rubble...

…but I didn’t understand the instructions…by Clara

I took a deep breath. "You've got this," I thought to myself. It was my first day at my new job. My job was at the factory where everyone comes to work on their 18th birthday, and I had been placed in control of the factory security. My new boss had been to see me earlier to tell me what I was to do, but I didn't understand the instructions they had given me. I had been organising my pencil pot when alarm bells started to ring. I panicked, pressing as many buttons as possible. "I've killed us all!" I screamed.

…but I didn’t understand the instructions… by Ben

It's Saturday, my friend's birthday and he chose go karting, his favourite, which I am sort of good at but not amazing.
There were not many people there, in fact it was just us. The man greeted us and told us the rules of what to do, but I didn’t understand the instructions properly. We suited up and got onto the track where we chose our race cars (well go karts I just like to think them as race cars) and we set off.
Waiting for the green light to go ...BEEP, and we are off, or am I?

…but I didn’t understand the instructions…by Grace B

I was building a Big Ben 3D jigsaw puzzle in my cosy pink bedroom. It was a brand new puzzle that I'd treated myself to, with my birthday money. After 10 minutes of setting up the puzzle, I realised that the instructions were in Russian (RUS.) But I didn’t understand the instructions. The problem is that I can’t put the pieces together because usually the instructions tell you which piece goes where.  The perfect result will be finishing the jigsaw puzzle, it will be a great achievement that I will have accomplished all by myself without any help at all.
