Surreal Dream

 CONTINUE THE STORY ON FROM THIS STARTER …..


Am I asleep, or am I dreaming?

This was the question that rang out in her head.

She looked down at her hands. Then her feet. Then her clothes. Why was she so small?

Amy had gone to bed that night as a 13-year-old girl, yet in her dream she was tiny again. She had not worn these clothes since she was 2 years old! What was going on?

She had been to this place before, she was certain. It all seemed familiar. Carrying the metal lantern in her fingertips, she waddled slowly through the night, not being able to see further than a few feet in front of her due to the thick wisps of fog that blanketed her vision.

Feeling the warm breeze caress her face, Amy inhaled. The air smelled damp, like it had just finished raining, but she couldn’t remember it having done so. Lanterns, as big as post boxes, swayed in the wind, shedding a feeble, hazy glow across the never-ending blackness.

She shivered. Something was wrong. Surely dreams couldn’t feel this real?

A huge hairy shadow fell over her. Amy screamed, a high-pitched, deafening scream that could have awakened the whole village if there was anyone there. But the whole place was deserted. Amy did not know that so she ran through the village screaming for help and gasping for breath. But no one answered her and eventually she figured out that she was the only person there for miles. 

The Thing was approaching fast and there was nowhere to run. When she shone her lantern in its face The Thing halted because the light was blinding it. It started to crumple before her eyes. Soon after that the world around Amy dissolved and she  was transported back to her bed. When Amy told her parents about this they said that Amy must've accidentally been transported back to her 2 birthday to stop The Thing. Amy's parents said it happened to most 13 year olds if they were born in that village in May every 50 years.

She was comforted by this thought and slept peacefully for the rest of her life.

Toilet Roll Solar System Diagram

Today Klaudia and I worked together on a toilet roll solar system diagram. The shortest toilet rolls was Mercury with 1 square and the longest one was Neptune with 76 toilet roll squares long.

The Darkness ASSCENDING


The cold, dark mist that had covered the country for years and protected its
inhabitants from outsiders was starting to lift. A wave of panic ran over the
country that had never been able to see further than 2 meters in front of their
own feet. Newly hung closed signs hovered over all the shops. The only sound you
could hear was the slamming of doors. On the other side of town, in the frozen
woods, the animals were in a frenzy. They were bred in the winter and had lived so
for all of their lives. 

Bernoulli's Principles

 The ball went up through the toilet roll because the low air pressure pushed it up. When Mrs Glue blew on top of the toilet paper it went up because the toilet paper wanted to go into the low air pressure instead of the high air pressure. When Mrs Glue turned the hair dryer on the side the ping pong ball did not fall because it wanted to stay in the low air pressure zone instead of the high air pressure zone.

New Math's Learning

 Today at maths time I learnt that if in the maths question there are brackets you must always do that first. Here is an example:

2+(4x3)=14                                                                                                                                                      If you take the brackets away it would only equal 18.

The Guinea Pig

Once upon a time there was a man named Bob bought a guinea pig named Bob jnr. One day when Bob was sleeping Bob jnr decided to run away. On the way to the spca he met a dog that people didn't want because they thought he had the coronavirus. Bob jnr found out that the dog's name was Max which was the breed of japanese spitz. So he and Max set out for the spca. Soon they came across a river. The dog said we could swim across but Bob jnr said he couldn't swim. So Bob jnr went on Max's back while Max swam across the river. Next they saw a sign that said spca 100 meters. They ran along but then realised that by the time they reached the spca Bob jnr would almost be dead. So they stopped for the night at the 50 meter mark. The next day they got to the spca and got a new home. Bob jnr got taken by a girl named Cara and got a new name of Chubs. He also had a friend in his hutch with him named Mystic. As for Max he got adopted by a nice family and was very muched loved by a girl named Klaudia.

How To Look After A Guinea Pig

Saving My Sister

“The giant that lives beneath the earth trapped my sister, Fauna, in a crystal ball, how do I get her back,” I asked the great wizard, Bob. “Flora, dinner time,” we heard in the distance. “You better go home now, meet me outside the dragon’s palace tomorrow at 7:52 am,” The next day at 7:51 I arrived at the dragon’s palace. Exactly at 7:52 The Great Wizard appeared out of nowhere in an explosion of gold dust. “What do I do?!!!” I asked. “Stay calm and go and find her,” he said. The next day I went to see the book fairies and ask them questions about crystal balls. When I got there I met a nice fairy named Farrah. She told me that the giant’s crystal ball was surrounded by dark magic and that she would need to find the Phooka Goblins that would help me find a sword of Antelope Canyon to defeat the giant to stop the dark magic so I could save my sister. After they gave me a food basket I set out to find the Phooka Goblins. After about an hour of walking, I saw a blue goblin with orange clothes and brown leather shoes run past me. Before I knew what I was doing I was sprinting through the meadow after the goblin. I followed the goblin into a clearing in the woods. As soon as I entered the clearing I got shocked with goblins bustling about, screaming about other goblins stealing their food. When they smelled my cakes and biscuits they stopped and stared at me for what felt like an hour. All of a sudden they were bombarding me with questions “What's that smell?, what's that?, who are you?, can we have some?” “You can have some if you help me get the sword of Antelope Canyon to free my sister from the giant that lives in the earth,” I asked. “Will we get the food before or after we help you,” one asked. “After,” I said confidently. So we set off. “Sorry but there is something we did not tell you the sword is guarded by a mountain troll. After that we continued in silence each of us dreading what would happen next. After an hour of walking in silence the goblin that told me about the mountain troll whose name was Nog announced that we had arrived at the Antelope Canyon. Soon we heard the mountain troll. So we followed the noise into the middle of the Canyon. We walked cautiously into the trolls cave. So while the goblins distracted the troll I got the sword and the troll fell to the floor. So I gave the goblins my food and set out for the giant. After hours of walking I decided to get some sleep. The next day I started to walk and after a few hours I found the giant and I slashed the giant's hand that was holding the crystal ball. The crystal ball fell out of the giant's hand so I stabbed and slashed the crystal ball. There was an explosion and my sister, Fauna, came out of the smoke. After we had a sleep we went home.
