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?

 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?
