Challenge 5 - Kabelo Grade 5

The Perfect Dance... Or Is It?

Hazel was getting ready for a dance. Her outfit was perfect, her hair was perfect, her makeup was perfect. Everything seemed perfect, but she knew something was wrong. She just didn't know what. Immediately, she rushed downstairs and asked her sister, Ashlyn, "Is there anything on my face!". Ashlyn then gasped. She explained to her sister that there was a huge spot on her face. She tried to remove it, but the spot just grew and grew. Well that's how it seemed.

Challenge 5: Erin Grade 5

Spots Everywhere

I saw a sign that said "Free Hypnotizing Session". Why not, I thought. Just as I walked through the door, it creaked. Standing in front of me was a very interesting looking lady. She did not speak, she just stood there. As quick as a flash she pulled out a picture of a spot. I stared at the small spot but the spot just grew and grew. Eventually all I could see was the spot. I felt something wet on my cheek. Then I woke up to my dog licking my face.

Challenge 5: Caitlin Grade 6

Disappear

It's just another day. But... Something isn't right. Usually the sun's very hot and bright, even in Winter, but today I could look straight at it without hurting my eyes. As I look closer I notice a black spot on the sun. What's going on? As I carry on looking I notice that the spot just got bigger. If it gets any bigger it will cover the sun, what will happen to us then? Other people were noticing and started to shout and scream. The spot just grew and grew until the sun disappeared, and there was nothing left.

The Spot Shaped Like A Hat

On the 18 of May, I spilled some grape juice on my parents mat.

It was a white and black mat. But now there was a spot on it in the shape of a hat.

I tried to clean it up! I really did... But then that didn't work, so I moved my toy Tigger and put it over the stain. It started to rain. The rain made the spot grow and glow. I tried to stop, it didn't work. But the spot just grew and grew, if it got any bigger it wouldn't fit under my toy Tigger!

Challenge 5 - Andreia Grade 6

Lately, I have been doing lots of DIY projects. This morning I decided to make a special formula to make vegetables taste delicious. But it went horribly wrong. I had just finished pouring the formula into a bottle, when my dog bumped the table, causing the bottle to fall. A bit of my formula had gotten onto my frock, and made a spot. I tried to wipe it off but the spot just grew and grew. Eventually it covered my whole dress. Suddenly, my dress disintegrated, revealing my PJs! I'm glad I didn't eat the vegetables I sprayed it on!

Challenge 4 - Lauren Grade 5

Monday Morning.

It was a Monday morning. The teacher was droning on about something that felt too complicated for me to understand. Luckily I had a secret hoard of food under my desk. I quietly reached for a sweet and popped one in my mouth. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a paper jet. Some kids in my row had started to fly them around the classroom. One soared right past Mrs. Eagley's nose. Luckily she didn't notice. I started to crunch on a packet of chips. Suddenly Mrs Eagley looked up. "WHO IS EATING IN MY CLASS?!" She screamed. Then she looked right at me. "KAREN!" Oh dear.

Challenge 4 - Karmen Grade 5

Winter

Winter is my favourite season... Picture this, a row of fluffy pillows and a warm fleece blanket for me to lie underneath, watching a good movie, in fact my favourite movie..Twilight. The fire in the fireplace heats up the room and I love the crackling sound of wood burning. I sip on my piping hot milo and watch the sparks fly between the wolves and the vampires on the screen.  And when I take a long breath through my nose, I smell the sweet smell of the potato chips roasting in the oven..... I really do love winter.

Challenge 4 - Thato Grade 5

Being a Human

Today was another usual day. I could hear the chirps of birds in trees. I was sitting on my branch watching the sun rise. The sun shined on the row of houses in which the humans lived. I looked at the houses and wandered what humans were like. I decided to fly around and see. I passed a house with a rather chubby human sitting on the couch eating chips and sweet snacks. I watched him longer. He did nothing but lie around and eat. If that was all humans did, then it was better being a bird like me.

Challenge 4 - Rosie Grade 5

Lies

The water glistened, and the waves sang
A song so sweet, but oh so sad
Chips of my world fell from the sky
Grew long wings, and started to fly
Petals dropped, all in a row
Waiting for the crashes of the waves to grow 
People said this was all a lie
But that's not true and this is why.

The Chips

There they were, the most delicious looking chips. Guess what? Mom just bought them for me. As I bit into one of the chips, it was not what I expected. It was...sweet. Then mom asked, "How're the chips?" "They are so delicious," I lied. Then a row of birds caught my eye. When mom looked away, I threw those chips at them. Mom turned around and said, "Look at all those birds fly away and look Abby, that pigeon has the same chips as you in its mouth. What a coincidence. Wait where are your chips?" Mom asked.

Challenge 4: Caitlin Grade 6

The Butterfly Effect

I have to get to the machine! It's going to leave without me! I was running when I stepped on a fly. Will that change something!? I rammed into the machine just as there was a flash and it started leaving. I got back to present day, 2050. I went to the past to test my time machine. I got home, and was greeted by my roommate. "Lie is row and chips chair?" She said. "What?" I asked, "you're not making any sense." "Sweet is what dog table?" She replied. What did the fly have to do with language?

Challenge 4 - Andreia Grade 6

I'm about to tell you a story. I won't tell you if it's a lie.

It's  all about a land that's made of chips and types of pie.

There are elephants to ride on, and boats in which you row,

A river of chocolate that tastes so sweet, with waves that go to and fro.

A land that has many unicorns, and rainbows all around,

and a happy mayor made of gummy bears that moves from town to town.

This land is quite perfect, a lovely sight to see.

And of course this land is wonderful for you and me!

Challenge 4 - Kira Grade 6

100 Words To Describe A Chip Packet

I look at the chip packet on the floor and as I look at it I notice details I don't normally pay attention to. For example the chip packet had a spot in the middle where you would normally be able to see the chips... It was empty. On the back of the packet was a  sweet picture of a squirrel running down rows of nuts... The chips where nut flavored. Underneath the picture of the squirrel was the motto of the company that made the chips "Together with chips we will lie and fly." The chips where not successful.
