Skype night...

On Thursday the 10 of April we had our skype night. We Skyped 12 different countries. Out of those 12 countries we skyped about 15 schools. For me one of funniest skypes was the school from Perth because they thought that we lived on Rabbit Island. Another funny skype was from Russia because they said they had pet polar bears!. The funniest skype of all was one of the ones from America because the teacher sounded like a Chipmunk. A couple of highlights for me were staying up most of the night and watching movies on Friday instead of doing school work.

World War 2

One day I was happily sleeping when I heard I siren, this wasn’t an ordinary siren this was a town siren and that means everybody has to go into town. When me, my brother and my mum got there, their was an army and it looked like they were waiting for us then someone on the microphone said, can all the Jews go to the left and all the other people go to the right so we did. Then the army was snatching us and putting us into trucks, one of them took my brother then my mum scratched the officer then he shot her. Then he wept, my brother was in tears.

The hero

Time is speeding up we can’t stop it, or can we. “We have hope” said John, “look a hero”.

 “Where” says Bob.

“There he’s helping that plane”.

“That’s amazing” said Ben.

The hero came down. “HELLO friends and family my name is Boy of the future”.

“Boy Of The Future will you save us from time speeding up?”. “Yes” he answered”.

“To late” said the villain, “time is going too fast”.

Boy Of  The Future says “I thought I had time, I’m going back to my planet”.

John said “No, why?”

“Cause I can’t save you” (he flies of till he can’t hear them no more and they explode).

The Kingdom

"You're 5 minutes late!" Her majesty exclaimed, the whole kingdom could have heard, gosh she was so loud. "But I thought I had enough time..." I mumbled as I set the tray of food before her, she scoffed in disgust "don't talk back to me!" "S-sorry.." I said quietly. She sighed while shaking her head "servants" just loudly enough so I could hear. Suddenly the door swung open, "I'm here to take miss Victoria" "um, that's me..?" I responded, almost questioning myself, it turns out I was the real heir to the throne and Queen Sophia was now the one serving me!

The midnight nightmare creature

I was running towards Daniel, arms extended, and ran right into him knocking us both down. We got up, took each other’s hands and ran off into the night. We were running away from our lives, just to be with each other.  After a while I slowed, making Daniel slow too, because I thought that someone, or something, was following us. Daniel sensed this and stopped. The snap of a twig made us whiz around, only to find a person. Then the person morphed into a gruesome creature and sliced its claws across Daniels chest. I ran off searching for help, but I thought I had enough time…

The Monster

It was dark in my cave and I haven’t seen a slice of light in three days apart from my fire. I’ve been eating mice and bugs that crawl around my cave. RAWWWWWW! Suddenly a really lowed scary sound came from the other end of the cave. BOOM BOOM BOOM! The ground shook as this nose got closer. I thought to myself have I heard that nose before, it rings a bell. Yes it’s a, man eating cave monster! I started to run but I forgot which way the nose was coming from its was there in front of me turned around and ran but I thought I had enough time.

Fireballs

I’ m sprinting for my life out of the magical enchanting forest as fire balls are getting thrown at me. I had annoyed the Dragon and now I had to pay. Another fire ball hits the tree next to me I jump but don't look back. Another lands by my feet. I’m sprinting even faster now! The fire balls are getting closer and closer. But I refuse to give up! I keep running not looking back. As a fire ball hits me, I fall to the floor in pain. I try to keep running but I know its over. But I thought I had enough time.
