 Week 1 Questions answered by Savvy

Question 1 What is Peter's biggest problem ? The turtle. Why is this a problem? His mum didn’t like the smell. He had to wash his hands at dinner three times because his hands smelt like a turtle. How does Peter feel? Annoyed with his mum but knowing he had to have clean hands for dinner. 

Question 2 I don’t have any younger siblings 

Question 3 Fudge loves socks! What is something that you love to play with? My dog and bunny toy. Because I can run around chasing my dog. I love to cuddle my toy bunny. 

Question 4 Fudge wants to be a bird or a dog. If you could be any animal, what would it be and why? I would love to be a monkey because you get to eat bananas and climb on stuff and have fun like I do. 

Question 5 What does Peter's dad do to get Fudge to eat? Tipped cornflakes on top of him in the bath. It was a great idea because fudge ate again. 

Question 6 Fudge falling over and losing his two front teeth was an accident. Have you ever had a bad accident? NO

Question 7 - Do you think it is fair of Peter's mum to blame him for Fudge's accident? Why did she do that? It wasn’t fair of Peter's mum to blame him. Because she didn’t have anyone else to blame that was taking care of fudge 

Question 8 Why do you think that Fudges parents don’t call him Farley? Do you have any nicknames? Because Farley is a weird name . My nicknames are Savvy and Banana! 

Make a prediction what you think will happen next? Peter will go to fudge’s birthday party?

Problem Solving and Teamwork

The challenge:

To rescue SAM from imminent danger! He cannot swim. He is trapped on top of a cup and his lifesaver is trapped underneath. The only thing that can save him is getting the lifesaver over Sam. The challenge is that the pairs cannot touch Sam, they cannot touch the cup, they cannot touch the lifesaver. The only thing they can touch is the two paperclips they have been given.

Can they do it?

There"s a yeti in the playground! By Griffin

                          There's a yeti in the playground!


We knew we should not of walked out of the class room when we herd  wailing sounds but when we did all we could see was a giant baby!
"WHAAAA!!!" cried the baby before lifting our science teacher Mr. lollipop.
"PUT...ME...DOWN!!!!!!!" screamed Mr lollipop.
"NO" said the baby and then he ate Mr lollipop!
"YAY!" shouted everyone
"ONE BILLION YEARS IN DETENTION!!!!!" shouted mister glob

"nooooooooo!!!!" nooooed everyone.
and then the baby wich I call bob started smashing buildings!
"YAY no school!" shouted the class.
but then a giant banana went crashing through the roof!

There's a Yeti in the Playground...

There was this strange noise echoing around in the playground this morning. It was a wailing sound, and I dont know if it sounded more like a dying animal or Maisy whining, but I was certain that it was one of those two. Or three. Maisy was trying to come up with another better option for what was making that crazy wailing sound, because, obviously, she didn't like my idea(who wouldn't like my idea? I mean, I like that idea, and I think everyone else would to. Apart from Maisy of course. Uggrrrhhhh!).
Maisy wasn't doing very well, though, because all she could come up with was that wailing sound sounding like Gary getting stuck in the recycling bins for the umpteenth time(that would be annoying, wouldn't it?!) and the fire brigade aren't happy about it. While I was thinking  about that, this strange, swirling, windy sound started sneaking up behind me, before slowly fading away. I ignored it, thinking it was just some wind. I surveyed Maisy, without turning around, saying:"Have you come up with anything better than Gary getting stuck in the bin again yet? Because im sorta curious about it now". No reply apart from a faint screaming and that windy sound again. "Maisy?!" I turn around. "Maisy!!!" I shouted in horror. Maisy had been swept away by a tornado.

When I heard a weird sound I was very scared.

"What is that wailing sound?" I asked our teacher.
"UM AH, it must be the wind" stuttered the teacher,I could tell she didn't know ether. All these thoughts were spinning round my head one of them was it would be amazing if the school was closed!" please teacher let us go out!" begged the class. There was silence for a long time.
"No-one knows whats out there, maybe a Yeti!" shivered our teacher. Ops I need to introduce my self, my name is Cathy, I am 12, I've got long black hair down to my feet and everyone says I've got way too many freckles. Anyway, let's get back to the story.
"Let's hide in our tote trays" shouted Nathan.
"How, were too big?" my best friend Katrina suggested.
"What about we lie in the middle of the floor like our lock down drill?"I asked
"YES, YES, YES!" the whole class shouted, even our teacher thought it was a good plan. Just then the door creaked open, we lifted our heads slightly and we saw a Yeti! It was obviously blind because it walked straight past us and left the school grounds, yay!

"Please don't think I'm weird but I've been hearing some strange wailing noises lately," I said.
"yeah me too it's coming from the playground"
Who you just heard was Jack he is a short and chubby kid and he's pretty clumsy he once fell over and thought he broke his left leg. He has brown hair and blue eyes. Oh, and I'm Jeff, by the way, I also have blue eyes and brown hair and even better I'm SKINNY. Anyway...
"WAIT you've also been hearing them," I said in joy
"DAH" Jack replies "let's go check it out"
So we did. There's snow brushing against my face and I didn't pack a jumper aaaaaaagggggggghhhhh stupid me!

We finally arrive and see a green thing with a guitar. "wait a sec" I whisper to Jack its Kermit the frog. "Oh hiya, fellas" Kermit shouts.My heart starts beating mega fast and Jack faints. I decide to leave Jack and walk forwards. "Oh kermy dinner time" Miss Piggy says.
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH shut up you stupid dumb pig" Kermit shouts in frustration! THE END

"Whats that sound in the playground," Asked Mahamid.
"I don't know it's probably just the wind" Answered Abdul. And they walked away expecting nothing!

The sound was like the wind in a hurricane or a parachute flapping around in the wind or maybe a rocket taking off

"Alright class today w-whats that ferocious sound, I'm gonna go check it out," Said miss Jefferosa in a moderate tone. As she walked it got louder and louder.

Then she was there, she almost fainted at the sight of the thing producing the sound, and it was one of the children in her class, and his name is... Jeff, and he was blowing on a piece of toast, and Jeff has super breath. But that's a story for another day.

THEEEEEEE EEEEEENNNNNNNDDDDD
