Challenge 3/17 - Karmen | Grade 6

The artwork

Well, that's great! A new art project due for tomorrow and I didn't have a clue of what to make. The  brief is to make something using newspaper. I was hungry and I wanted to get in bed,wait that's a good idea I could make something food related, like a hamburger. I started of right away plastering newspaper to form two hands and a patty, two buns, lettuce and cheese. It was done! It looked amazing and just looking at it made me hungry. Im so glad I finished and just in time! I am so relieved and proud.

Challenge 2/17 - Karmen | Grade 6

The race

Nearly there! Now all I had to do was swim across the wide lake and I would win the race. I could see the orange trophy on the other side of the lake. Within a minute I found myself swimming  to the other side. Wait... is that a crocodile!?!? I swam as fast as I could and felt something " chomp " on my foot. Turns out my "crocodile" was just a little fish. My lungs were burning. Pushing through I swam to the other side of the lake. I walked out the lake and collapsed, I had won the race!

Challenge 7 - Karmen Grade 5

Beautiful Nightmare

I was in a plane on my way to Indonesia. Suddenly the door of the plane opened and I fell out. I fell through branches. Someone started running to me, chasing me. I ran to. I was running faster and faster. Why were they chasing me? Soon I found myself tripping over a rock. But I think I lost them. I didn't know where i was.  I looked up. What I saw in front of me was extraordinary! I heard a sound. Then suddenly I woke up. It was all a dream! No wonder it seemed so unrealistic!

Challenge 6 - Karmen Grade 5

Hurdles

Lined up, I stared at the hurdles in front of me... ready for me. I was waiting for the race to start and my heart was beating like a drum. Suddenly we were all running towards the first hurdle...I was jumping over the 4th hurdle before I knew it. I was in the lead. I had just jumped over the 5th hurdle. I could see the finish line, then....my foot started to hurt, I had knocked down the hurdle. The paramedic suspected a broken ankle but I had to finish. Limping I continued. I came last but triumphed.

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 3 - Karmen Grade 5

Flight 554

I woke up to sound of the pilot of the airplane frantically shouting, "MAYDAY, MAYDAY!" Something was very wrong! I ran to the front part of the plane to see what was going on. I registered two things at the same time, one: smoke coming out of the right engine and two: the plane was busy falling! Then I heard the voice of the air-traffic controller saying, "flight 554,stay calm and get ready to.....when the connection broke, for a second there was silence. Then all we could hear were branches breaking as we crashed through the trees.

Challenge 2 - Karmen Grade 5

All The Confusion

While flicking through the channels on the TV, something caught my eye...it was a statue of three men who appeared to be talking. I was amazed by the clothes they were wearing, two of the men were barefoot and wearing robes. The third man was wearing a smart suit and they appeared to be in China because there were lanterns in the background. The three men looked like leaders and maybe they were talking about World Peace...no wonder they looked worried! Suddenly I heard mom shout "Switch off the tv and come clean your room!"

Challenge 1: Karmen Grade 5

My Guardian

After driving all day, we arrived at our new house. Mom told me to pick my own room. Excitedly, I ran through the long passages and saw a closed door. I opened it...there was a huge wolf. Strangely I wasn't scared. It turned its head to look at me with beautiful golden eyes, then disappeared out the open window. I wanted to tell mum, but she wouldn't believe me. That night the wolf appeared again. It slipped in quietly and laid down by my bed. In the morning it disappeared just as quietly. Alex now keeps guard every night...
