Regan's Story:

Bens Birthday Pranks

Once upon a time there was a family and there was a boy called Ben and it was his birthday today.

He had a little sister called Megan, a dad named Thomas and his mum's name was Katherine and they were a happy family.

While Thomas was icing the cake for Ben, Megan and Ben were secretly setting up a trick for his dad.

10 minutes later……

Thomas just sprinkled the last sprinkles on the cake and suddenly what looked like a poisonous spider jumped out of nowhere! 

Thomas got a great big fright and then Thomas realised it was a pretend spider. Thomas wondered where the spider came from?

Then an enormous strike of lighting came down while Thomas was just about to light a birthday candle. The lights went out and black struck the house but luckily the candle came on fire.

Thomas lit the last 8 candles and came into the lounge and sang Happy Birthday.

Ben, Megan and Katherine sat down on the couch in the lounge but when Thomas sat down, he got a little prick on the bum. He stood back up and then he saw a plastic thorn and he said Beeennnn. Ben laughed.

Thomas sat down and everyone gathered round.

Ben silently blew out the 9 candles, and the power came back on in five minutes.

They lived happily ever after.

Christian's Story: 
 

This is my Writer's Challenge story:

I was just eating cake - suddenly I went very tall (and fat).  I went bumping through the city trying to lose weight but people started throwing thorns at me and they came sprinkling down on my head.  Everything went black, but how? I was enormous, surely they couldn't find enough oil - wait, oil?  Where did they get the oil?  Silently I tried to find the pool (I couldn't fit in a bucket), but soon I found one! I looked around.  Wow, I was being bombarded with humans!  "Wait!", I said, and they stopped.  "I was just trying to lose weight," I said, "can you help me?" "Here, drink this" said an old man.  I did what he said and I went small again.  "Thanks a lot," I said.

The end - or to be continued?

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.

There's a Yeti in the playground!

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

The BIG day!

One lovely morning Dylan went to the beach to test his surfing skills. "The air smelt like salt and the water feels like heaven above" he said in a soft voice. Then he ran in the water to catch some waves then he jumped on his board he looked back he saw the biggest wave he's seen then the wave came closer and closer until...the wave came. Dylan said "it's time for my best trick" and he did his trick and as the water splashed in his face the sun laughed and did tricks in the sky everyone was happy even the crabs. Even though they're a bit snappy sometimes, then Dylan jumped off his bored and laughed it was AMAZING it felt as if the world stopped and his heart was the only sound he could hear then the world started again. In 2 or 3 hours it would be dusk soon, so I should be going soon. As he walked home he saw a big poster it was bigger than a giant, the poster said SURF COMPETITION MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY winner get's MILLIONS of dollars and the girl of your dreams. "Wow thought Dylan." I think I should sign up Dylan" announced Dylan, so he did after 20 minutes of walking he was home he opened the door. Dylan thought about the competition he wondered who is the judge. On Monday Dylan got up at 4.30 so he could warm up he sighed he was thinking of Lilly the girl of his dreams. He looked at his clock 5.00 "the competition started in 2 hours" he said nervously. He left the house and started walking with his heavy bored then he got to the beach he saw all the other guys warming up, he got in the water and waited until the competition started. Then it started it was the BIG day. First up Dylan Tammy. It was time he paddled and paddled and paddled the wave came he was worried, but no time for that it was time for the big trick then he tried to do it. Lilly was watching.
