Prompt: Bath, Orange, Fighter, Danced, Clumsily
Title: Peace At Last

I lay in the warm bubble bath, surrounded by quiet, candles flickering orange, red and yellow like a mini suns, giving the bathroom a dim glow. Glad to be out of the chaos of looking after my sibling, Tom.
“Evie!” yelled Tom. “Look at me!” I could hear him clumsily thumping around the bedroom, probably holding his plastic gun, pretending to be a brave fighter, like Dad was.
“EVIE!” He was getting really impatient. I reluctantly got out of the bath and opened the door. Tom danced around the bed beating his rifle like a drum. Ignoring him, I walked back to the bathroom and slipped back into the water. Peace at last.

Prompt:
Title: Dedication 118 words
The barrel of the gun was pressing into my head, loaded and ready. “Hurry up!” the terrorist barked in my ear. He shoved me into a room with all the other hostages, the gun still on my forehead. Once I was inside he snatched the gun back and closed the door. Locking it behind him. Outside I heard a bang, a thump and the sound of bending metal. The door unlocked and opened. We all crowded in the corner. A young man poked his head through the door. “It’s okay.” he said. “He’s gone.”
10 years later the gun the man had used was made into a sculpture and was dedicated to the man that saved our lives.

Title: Stolen 

136 words

As Ava stood over the dead body with the bloody knife in her hand, she collapsed on the floor. Grace had ruined her life, why was she guilty? Grace was dead, she was free. However, she couldn’t believe what she had done. Dropping the knife Ava turned and fled, down the street, away from the body. On and on she ran, and at Grace’s house she ended up. Into her room Ava went and she grabbed what was rightfully hers. The thing Grace took that infuriated Ava so much that the only solution was to kill her. Now that she had what she needed, Ava sprinted back to her house, her safe haven. She opened her hand and lay the contents carefully on her desk. The only thing that mattered in her life. A blue paperclip.

“Yes! YES! The moon is almost full! I can feel it.” Yells the Sargent, even though he probably can’t as we are stuck in the pitch black shell…….
Of the durian. Legend says that when we have been inside here for 100 years the shell will open and we will take over the world!!! I see a slither of light, the Sargent was right! We pour continuously out of the fruit, and breathe in the fresh air. Landing softly on this green substance we march onwards to take over. Thud! Ten of the troops collapse on the ground. Then another, and another. I spin around only to realise the killer can’t be stopped. He is legendary, he is….

Reflective Questions

Question #6:
'What lessons were learned from failure today?'
Today in French I failed to understand what a word meant and therefore got the context of the word wrong. I now understand what it means and I do see where I went wrong.

Question #3:
'Where did you encounter difficulties today?'
I encountered a difficulty carrying all my books to the library. I had a big pile and most of them were heavy. This resulted in books ending up on the floor. Thankfully Ellena helped me to carry them into the library. Next time I think I will bring in a bag/suitcase. It will make it much easier.

Hi guys,

This is just another 100 word challenge.

Promt: ‘Can you invent a magical animal that could live in one of these magical places and tell us all about them?’

Pitter! Patter! Pitter! Patter! That’s the sound that the most terrifying animal in the desert makes. Creatures scatter left and right to make way for this monster. It has spots on its back, claws at the fingertips, and razor sharp teeth inside his mouth. Poison is spilling out of his mouth as he looks for his next victim for dinner. The animals try to hide but he is too quick, in a flash, the tiger is gone. Then the lion and the snake. And very soon the only thing left on the sand is the terrifying, poisonous, sharp-toothed, stuffed full……...lizard.

Prompt: ‘...when did it arrive?...’

I sit impatiently on the couch waiting for my package to arrive. Ding! Dong! I rush towards the door as the mailman dumps the package. “Sign here, here and here. Yup. Thanks” And he’s gone. I drag the package into the living room where Dad is waiting. He looks up from his newspaper. “What ‘ave you got there ‘un?” he says. “When did it arrive?”
“Like, 30 seconds ago!” Is all I can say as I run to the kitchen to grab the scissors. I rummage through the drawers until I find them. Then I sprint back to the living room and open the tape. As I peer inside I realize. This is the wrong package.

Prompt: “SHOUTED CRIMSON MISTY FRANTICALLY GRAVE”

“Ellie!” Mum shouted frantically. “Hurry up! We need to get to Sam’s funeral!!!” I am still trying to get into the crimson dress Mum made me wear. I scramble into the car just as Mum starts the engine. The car doesn’t start. She tries again. “ARGH!!!” she yells. “Come on! We’re walking!” ‘Walk’ is not my definition of what we are doing. ‘Running’ is more like it. We turn up at the graveyard just as they are lowering the coffin in. I drop my flowers on top of the grave. The misty breath coming from my mouth tells me I’m not dreaming. I just buried my Dad.

Thanks!!

I'm 12 now!!!!!2 Happy Star Wars Day!!!

(Star Wars SUCKS BTW)

Reflection Questions

Wednesday 2nd May

The reflective question for today is:
'Where did you meet success, and who might benefit most from what you've learned along the way.'

Today I met success with Mr Williams our Technology teacher. For Market Day this year my group is making ginger beer and we had no idea how to make it. Mr Williams gave us a secret Southwell recipe and the ingredients/equipment to make the bug.

The people who might benefit from this would be:

• Me
• My Market Day group
• Mr Williams - we are attempting a new way to see if it works better than last year.

My birthday is also coming up on Friday so YYYYAAAAAYYY!!!!!!!!

May the fourth be with you people!

Prompt: '...how did he/she get up there?...'

"LILY!" I yell. "COME DOWN PLEASE!" Tears are streaming down my face as I crane my neck towards the speck at the top of the Burj Khalifa. "HOW DID SHE GET UP THERE?" My Mother yells above the sound of the sirens screeching. I don't bother to reply. "SHE'S GONNA JUMP!!!" cries some man over the crowd. Everybody turns to watch except me. I can't bear to see my little sister, my dear little sister. Jump off the tallest building in the world. In our home town Dubai. And it's all because of me. A gasp. A scream. A thud. Then there's blood.
