Challenge 4/17 - Rosie | Grade 6

The show must go on!

I simply couldn't believe it. First the sun was shining and the next it's pouring buckets! “We can't do it, we just can't. I haven't the money to rent a new stage.” My boss said, pacing up and down. “It just had to be outdoors.” I mumbled under my breath. “It was going to be so fantastical, so magical, so stunningly different, but then the weather changed dramatically!” My boss said, emphasizing every word. It’s true it was going to be precisely that, and I have a way to keep it like that. “The show must go on!”

Challenge 3/17 - Rosie | Grade 6

The Not So Scary Witch

"Finally!" She sighed, looking down at her creation. I don't know how she thinks she's so scary, I wondered as I stared at her funny little cauldron on the floor. Inside was a mixture of boiling green liquid that looked like it had brussels sprouts in it. "Eww!" I thought, and pulled a face. She wore a witches costume -The EXACT one I wore to Halloween! - and a pathetic green wig. "It's happening!" She screeched. Suddenly, the liquid started molding into a pair of hands. They clapped and, strangely, a burger popped out. She grabbed it and started chewing viciously.

Echo

"I'm not who think I am." She whispered to me. "Who are you then?" I asked as if it wasn't that serious. She sat there without saying a word for a few seconds, while we watched the crocodile pull against its chain. All you could hear was the chain and the sound of me kicking the orange, stone wall. But there was now way out. We were stuck in a cell, with a crocodile and a few wooden boxes. The silence became deep for a second, when a crack echoed and soon the sound of a million stone bricks collapsing...

The Creature...

"We need to go!" Said Stacy. " We can't, not until we find it" I said rather impatiently. It was Halloween 2017. We were looking for something or...someone. "Please! I know I promised I would help you, but I didn't know you were this serious about it!" Stacy whisper-shouted. Suddenly, the slime dripped through a crack in the wall, no it wasn't slime it was... "Umm,Rosie?" Stacy looked at me like I was crazy, and then shesaw it. "RUN!" I screamed. We took off through the house and out the  door. Leaving the creature behind..

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.

Challenge 3 - Rosie Grade 5

Bullets

Bullets,millions of them, from all directions and I knew sooner or later they would come my way. I dropped down onto my hands and knees and slowly crept to the table. On that table was my radio, which was a good start, but if I stood up to reach it they would see me. I needed a distraction so I threw my shoe across the room. As I did that I grabbed the radio and ducked. I radioed the Captain and requested backup. The Captain started responding, then I heard a massive explosion and that's when the connection broke.

Challenge 2 - Rosie Grade 5

Three men trading

"I started twenty years ago, with absolutely nothing. That's why I'm here, to trade and sell," explained Mr Johnson. Mr Chang and Mr Brahmin thought about the deal for a moment. The atmosphere was tense. "I'm sorry the offer is late gentlemen, but at this price I'll be coming back for more " Mr Johnson said. Mr Brahmin answered, "I'll give you four crates of rice, but that's it!" Mr Chang stared into Mr Johnson's eyes. He was an old wise man, very smart indeed. "Sir, I have three crates of silk, handmade by my own men. Four pounds a crate."

Challenge 1: Rosie Grade 5

The sound

I snuck out of my camp bed and crept outside into the dark, wet, winter morning. The noise had kept me awake all night. It became louder as I tiptoed into the hall. My heart was thumping. I couldn't imagine what was in there. The thought made me shiver. It felt like the only things on this planet was me and this creature. My skin felt tight and prickled. The icy weather caused my breath to show. My hands were shaking like a million reeds being blown by wind and my feet wobbled as I walked. I can't do this, I thought. The scratching and whining grew so loud I couldn't hear anything else. I stopped for a second before I opened the door, I held my breath and slowly placed my hand on the handle. The door opened and there it was...
