Cool but creepy mask by Charlie

I was walking through the park and I thought I saw the mask off Crash bandicoot in cup form and people jumped into it head first. Paint that doesn’t mix in it and splashed up their legs. It makes me shiver at the site of it because it is kind of creepy in a way. Well it is to me because that kind of smile is creepy to me. But to me it is still very cool and awesome. I feel sorry for those people but they're not really people are they. I hope their not because that would be weird.

"…but I’m afraid it’s the last one," he said… Charlie

"I can't wait," I shouted, as the countdown begins. In two weeks’ time me and my family will be travelling abroad to Madeira (a small island off Portugal). I am so excited because I get to swim every day in a lot of pools and where the weather is always sunny. I like to meet different people and make friends, whilst I am away. Last year I met a Dutch boy named Tobias and I hope to see him again this year. We also go to lots of restaurants; my favourite is Luigi's but I'm afraid it’s the last one as I won’t be going again after this year.

...but it was far too hot... by Charlie

As I got ready for school this morning, I knew it was going to be a hot day. The sun was shining through my bedroom window. My Mum said to me if it’s hot today, she was going to put our 8 foot pool up in the garden. So Christan and I could enjoy the pool after school. While having a busy day at school on our laptops and playing outside. I had a good day at school but it was far too hot to be at school working. I hope Mum had put up the pool so I could cool down and enjoy the water.

But where could I go? by Charlie

We went on holiday last year to Elveden Forest Center Parcs, we had a great time swimming and cycling around the lakes and the woodlands. I and my brother Thomas decided to complete a woodland tree trekking adventure which looked really good, it started out really low and got really high in the end, but was I brave enough to do it? But where could I go if I got frightened? However, I battled my fears and did, climbing high through the trees and finishing with a 270 meter long zip wire to the end. I was so happy with myself for what I had achieved.

Cauliflower Crimson Shivering Deep Walked by Charlie

One day we was very bored and didn't know what to do so my Mum thought about it and said lets go to the beach, We walked along the deep sea and it was very cold and we were shivering a lot. We collected some pretty coloured stones one was crimson colour. Tom tripped over a rock and fell in the sea and his hair got soaking wet. When we got home Tom did his hair again and it looked the same as last time. Then I asked my Mum, "What are we having for tea?
She said, "Cauliflower." 
Then I said, "oooo yummy."

…but it made my tongue tingle… Charlie

I remember really well, that one day last year my brother bought some sweets from Sugar sweet shop. They were called “Toxic waste”. 

Tom tried them and started pulling funny faces but wouldn’t say what they were like. They felt quite hard to touch and didn’t smell much. I wouldn’t try them at the start but eventually the temptation got the better of me. Wow they were horrible, they were sour, bitter, strong and disgusting but it made my tongue tingle for a long time, my brother just laughed at me as he thought it was so funny. He actually enjoyed eating the sweets, “very strange”.

So as she lifted the lid by Charlie

I had a great day playing football with my friend Jack and playing games on the Wii. It gave me such an appetite, I was very hungry. I went searching the pantry for great food, chocolate would have been nice, but no, couldn't find any. So I looked in the fridge, I noticed a container, what was in it? I got mum to get it out, so as she lifted the lid the smell hit me, errrr rotten food, it smelt awful! Funny that, I wasn't hungry any more. The smell lasted for ages and the whole street became burned under a cloud of green smoke.

...but the ferocious wind... by Charlie

On Saturday I played football with my dad, the sun was shining all the time but the wind was blowing very strongly. Then in the afternoon my friend Jack came round to play, we played tig in the garden, my older brother Tom came out chasing us. He had spent all morning styling his hair, but the ferocious wind got up and ruined his hair style, we all laughed out loud but Tom was not happy, the more we laughed the more he chased us and got annoyed. When we went inside his hair dropped down over his face which made us laugh again.

Charlie - 100WC#32

Was this real or a dream I thought. Waking up to find I had shrunk and was stood on a tree stump surrounded by corn and faced with a monster creature on stilts. Having briefly looked up it looked like an oversized chicken, wow I thought that would go well with stuffing and gravy, then I thought oops, maybe not. Maybe he wants to eat for a change this must be the chicken's revenge on the humans. Help what do I do? I jumped down and ran as fast as I could with these little legs I had.

While Snowflake was living with the 7 Trolls her mother (The Queen) was on a hunt to kill her. It was very hard for Snowflake to keep running away from her horrible mother. The worst thing about Snowflake’s mother was that her mother was a witch so it was ten times harder to stay alive and survive. Every time Snowflake wanted to get away from the mountain the Trolls had to stay by her side.

Rapunzel by Sam B

Rapunzel was taking a stroll in the woods like she always did on a normal Sunday. She went past a tree and found a tall tower that stood in a massive steep crater. 

"Help! Help! I am stuck," shouted a voice from below. Rapunzel quickly sped towards a steep edge. 

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair," begged a knight at the bottom of the stone castle.

"How do you know my name?" asked Rapunzel. The knight did not say a thing. Rapunzel let down her hair and the lost knight climbed up her long hair up to the top.

Red Riding Hood by Rose 

My favourite fairy tale story is Little Red Riding Hood because it is fun to read. 

Once upon a time Little Red Riding Hood, Millie, went to bring her brother some ham and mustard because he had run out of food. As she was outside of his bedroom she saw a rat who jumped onto her shoulder. The rat was named Cow, he was Millie's brothers pet. When Millie skipped into her brother’s room she put down the food on his bedside table and popped Cow back into his cage. But she hadn't shut the bars properly, so Cow hopped out of the cage and into the wardrobe where he made a den. He did a little poo in Millie's brother’s best clothes. Millie had to sell Cow because he did a poo everywhere.

Charlie - 100WC#30

Yesterday while I was eating cornflakes for breakfast I was very excited, because we were going to have a great day. We went to see Madagascar at the cinema it was very exciting and funny. There were lots of animals in the film there was a zebra called Marty, the giraffe was called Melman, the hippo was called Gloria and the lion was called Alex. The best part of the film was when the animals danced to the beat of the drum. Then out came the penguins of Madagascar: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private, whilst singing, "You like to move it," with King Julian the raccoon!

Charlie - X Marks the Spot

On the 7th of May will be the General Election which means that every member of the public can vote for their party. You have to be over the age of 18 to vote, some people can vote by post or at a voting booth. There are lots of people to vote for, like UKIP, Labour, Conservatives, Green Party, Plaid Cyrumi, Liberal Democrats and lots more other parties. Each party have their views on how the country should be run. For an example Immigration, Education, NHS, Crime & Justice and lots more. So X marks the spot on who you want to vote for.

Charlie - 100WC#28

"Look over there," as she pointed her finger, said the strange looking lady who was holding a shoe.

The man with the newspaper turned and looked as the enormous ship sailed across the harbour. "IT'S A CRUISE SHIP!!!" he shouted in a loud voice sounding enthusiastic.

The cruise ship glided through the water whilst making a loud noise which made the dog bark, "WOOF, WOOF!!!"

The ship stopped sailing at Cardiff Bay, letting the passengers off the ship which enabled them to look at the fishing boats which collected the fish needed for Cardiff's well known dish: Fish and Chips.

Charlie - My Ultimate Adventure

While I was on holiday at Center Parcs I did my ultimate adventure. I saw a sign post that said tree trekking in green writing. I asked my dad if I could have a go and he said yes. The instructor said put on a safety helmet and some straps around your shoulders and waist. Off I went on my very exciting challenge. I went first because my brother Tom was too scared. I started to climb high through the forest trees by crawling, swinging from branches and balancing across many obstacles and at the very end I went on the zip wire.

Charlie …as they turned the corner… 100WC#26

One morning dad and mum decided that we could go to Madeira. Me and Tom were very happy, we asked, “What day?”

They said, "Tomorrow."

Then the next day we got up very early and got showered and dressed ready for the journey. When everyone got sorted we all set off. After two and a half hours of travelling in the car, we knew we were getting closer then as they turned the corner, we could see the airport and the planes that kept landing and taking off and flying off to different countries. Soon that would be us. We had a fantastic holiday.

PIPE SWAM GREEN CAREFULLY HORSE by Charlie

I went to Hubbard’s Hill last summer on a hot day. We parked up and started to walk around, we entered the park there was a horse shoe nailed on the gate. There were a lot of children carefully playing in the stream on the stepping stones. We watched other people play with their dogs, throwing a stick across the stream whilst the dog swam across to get it. I can’t wait until I get my own dog. The dog ran under the bridge through a pipe and out the other end with a large green twig in its mouth.

… then when I looked out of the plane window…by Charlie

When I went on an airplane for the very first time I was six years old. We flew from Stansted airport to the island of Madeira. As I boarded the airplane it looked huge from where I stood, as I walked up the steps into the cabin I looked through the pilot's window and I saw him turn around and wave to me. I sat down and fastened my seat belt, then when I looked out of the plain window we were starting to move and soon we were in the sky flying really high. Guess what, we really had a good time on our holiday with my family.

100WC#23 The Old Settee by Charlie

I was in a deep forest with trees that were destroyed and lay still on the ground. It was like the trees had been crushed by something big and strong, something with thorns perhaps? Then all of a sudden I heard footsteps going thump, thump, thump!

I ran as fast as I could until... I stopped when I came across something else it was a large sofa…? It was made out of stone with a brick style pattern on it. On the top of the sofa lay a hard grey fox. The sofa looked very weird and not at all comfortable.

100WC#22 …but it said ‘sweet’ on the wrapper… by Charlie

When we were on our holiday last year at Elveden Forest Center Parcs, it had my favourite ever shop of all called, “Sweet Treats”. Which sold all the sweets that you could ever imagine, just like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From chocolate to fudge, from fudge to toffee, from toffee to caramel, from caramel to mints, from mints to jelly babies from jelly babies to liquorice allsorts, from liquorice to Haribo’s, from tangy to sweet, from bitter to sour, but most of all sweets that confused your taste buds, making you think it was something else yet it said “sweet” on the wrapper, yuk yuk.

100WC#21 … the silence was deafening…

In the abandoned house the silence was deafening. You couldn’t even hear a mouse until me and my friend opened the wardrobe and there was a skeleton living in there. We both screamed and ran for our lives. We ran out of the front door of the house and we were still screaming all the way home. That night I couldn’t sleep but just there next to my door was an outline of the same skeleton we saw in the wardrobe. I blinked twice and then when I opened my eyes the skeleton was gone. I knew I saw it but I was not believed by anyone.

Jessica

Today in class we had a giant paper airplane fight. It started when we were seeing how paper planes work. The teacher was tapping at the board while I could hear some folding behind me. Suddenly, a paper airplane whooshed past my shoulder. It hit the teacher's head and bounced back. The silence was deafening as the teacher turned around.

"Who did this!" he yelled. All the children pointed at the person behind me. It was Liam, the naughtiest boy in my class. Liam can scare anyone away by just pulling his mighty fist. I turned my head round.

Sam B

The silence was deafening, for an arena it was quiet. The audience were as still as statues and Messi was halfway through a flip but he was stuck in mid-air. I was the only one moving, or alive for that matter. The roof was also stuck in mid-air. I walked out of the arena, grabbing handfuls of food. No earth. No grass. No air. I had to hold my breath but soon gave up. I knew I was away from earth. The statues could have been dead people and what caused Messi to be in the air could be the gravity levels. There must be a simple explanation, there always is mind you. But where was I and how did I get here?

Mollie

The silence was deafening, on my little sisters birthday. We were supposed to be singing but no one was because there was a green nosed witch. She had frozen all my family and friends which made me very sad. The witch said I will curse your family. Which I knew I didn't want that to happen. So I had to go to the witch’s castle and see if I could go into the dungeon through the fire and see if I could get the golden trophy. Which I knew I would! In a way. I did eventually.

Mia

I was walking down the cold muddy path and everywhere was silent not a sound to be heard. The silence was deafening then a loud screeching noise came across the woods! "Eek" I shouted as I tried to cover my ears but the sound made its way through, so I started to run from the sound but it got louder and louder so I went the other way as the sound disappeared I stopped and silence was one more.  I wondered to myself what it was suddenly, it popped into my head it was my shoes! So I stepped lighter on my feet as I did NOT want to experience the sound again. But I could be wrong...

Morgan

One day I was walking along the woods, the silence was deafening that I could not hear a bird tweeting. I could smell the apple blossom from far far away. I was looking around the forest trying to find a beautiful flower to take to my mum and dad but all I could see was trees. Even though I was in the middle of the woods there was still silence. It was really weird. The trees were like a lime green. The flower I wanted was pansy because my mum’s favourite colour is yellow and my dad’s favourite colour is red.

Eleanor

I was visiting a castle in the highland in Scotland but when I got there it was empty the silence was deafening and spooky. The castle was an old ruin and they were supposed to have a tour I paid £100 for this tour. Wait what's that it’s a blue light wait this is like the Disney film brave that is in Scotland. Maybe I should follow it well Merida did not do very well when she followed the wisp so maybe I shouldn't. Let's just go yes that’s what I'm going to do go home. I'm going to get my money back.

Madison

I was at school, I hate school, I am always tripping and falling. I am the clumsiest child in my school, and I am not proud of it. It was Monday, boring Monday. It was lunchtime, and I was looking for a place to sit. Eventually I found a place to sit, as I walked over to sit down, I slipped on a banana peel. Everybody just stared at me, not saying a word. The silence was deafening. They should have laughed, but the silence was bad enough. I was so embarrassed, I never wanted to go to school again.

Jemima

A few years ago, a young baby girl was born and her name was Kara. From the minute Kara was born she had a problem with her ears. She suffered periods of loss of hearing. A few years later Kara had experienced an extremely terrifying storm. The ear-splitting sound of the storm caused further unrepairable damage and it led to Kara becoming deaf. Kara’s life was changed forever and the massive disability of not being able to hear made Kara feel the silence was deafening. Kara had to live with this disability the rest of her whole life and she was never the same….

Sophia

The little girl slowly but steadily entered the old, creaky house. She pushed the pitch black gate open with a nudge and it fell off its hinges. She stepped onto the welcome mat that looked like it wasn’t very greeting. As her feet rested on the old flooring, the silence was deafening and she slowly plodded down the stairs. Suddenly a loud bang came from the other room and she was knocked over! She ran out of the house and never set eyes on it again, leaving her prized possession an old heart charm the colour of the midnight sky.

Grace LB

I was in a car with my Dad, we drove to a park on a sunny day, then everything turned black so we had to go back home quickly before we got seen by the zombies, once we got back home we saw that everyone went out the house. But then I heard that the silence was deafening in my ears but it was only the zombies outside banging on the door. Then everything came back sunny again, then everyone came back home. Then Dad and I went to go do some racing on the rugby pitch with our remote control cars.

Charlie

On Saturday my family was going shopping in town, I didn’t want to go as shopping was boring, so I asked if they could drop me off at the library so I could look for another Diary of a Wimpy kid book and then  pick me up when they had finished. So that’s what we did. On the way I could hear birds singing, people chatting, vehicles beeping and children shouting it’s so noisy. As I entered the library and closed the door behind, the silence was deafening what a change by only walking through a door peace at last. 

Harvey

On my holiday to Spain we stayed in a big mansion but what we didn’t know was it was a spooky one. When we got there I was petrified because it was scary looking. I nearly ran as fast as I could away. I walked into my room and it was that quiet the silence was deafening. There were paintings on the wall that made me feel like they were looking at me and there were cobwebs in the corner of my room and on the room so I ran as fast as I could to my Mum and Dad.

Rio

Every Saturday, me and my friend Kieran go to the cinema. Usually we watch funny films for children, but this time it was different. Like always we chose a kids' movie, however we had no idea, like most of the children watching, what is about to happen. Through most of the movie it was hilarious, however right at the end, one of the main characters had a bad accident. Everyone held their breath with a hope for positive end. The silence was deafening as if nobody was present at the theatre. Finally, awaited by everyone, the happy ending came and we all sighed with relief.

Aron

This is it, I am playing in Wimbledon finals and it’s the championships point. It’s now or never, the crowd goes quiet, the silence was deafening. I pick up the ball and toss it up in the air. The breeze blows my hair back. I serve it, and he returns the serve, I don’t think I can get it. I leap and stretch as far as I can, the ball just touches the end of my racket. The ball hits on the white line it is in. At first I can’t believe that I have won. I had dreamt of this since I was 10.

Caitlin

The silence was deafening. But then, a sudden movement, behind the big dark bush… A rustle. A creature? What was it? And what did it want? I didn’t know, but what I did know was that it seemed aggressive… Really aggressive. As I turned away to run something grabbed my shoulder. It was out of breath, breathing hard on my neck. Quick reactions are my strength; I kicked back and made a run for it! Heading straight back for my house I heard a call, “Chloe, Chloe!”… How did it know my name?
Chloe
