Deserted Beach

The sun-kissed sand had no foot prints as if this beach was no-man's land.

The sea lapped gently over my feet before dashing back into the ivory white foam.

The floral white seagulls screeched like violins and wheat brown fantails like flutes.

The gravel grey road had no charging cars, only me, the sand and sea.

Lamborghini Selfish by Alex

The Lamborghini selfish has an orange window in the middle of the car. There is one seat. It can accelerate 0-60 miles an hour in 2.4 seconds. It has 600 hp and a  f1 (formula one) steering wheel. It is epic just like a f1 car. The seatbelts are like a fi car.  It has big exhaust pipes that make it go fast.

An ancient castle By Lotta

I gingerly meandered up to the half cracked drawbridge as the rusty portcullis rose timidly. The watery moat is misty but I can just make out the outline of the murky swamp creatures. Night suddenly falls as I stare up to the find the lonely, medieval, huge turrets gloom over the isolated land. A shadowy figure gravitates towards the cracked and foggy window and stares back at me...

by Lotta

The Castle by William

At last we reached the castle while fending off wind and rain. We hastily traversed the drawbridge avoiding the watery moat full of venomous sea snakes and stingrays, piranhas and crocodiles that lurked below. I went into the haven of stone through the rusty portcullis and into the tall medieval turrets to see my mother the Queen of England.

The Ancient Castle

We stood in front of the iron gates. They were about as high as two buses on top of each other. They opened at last. We came in front of the tall turrets and windows. In front of us a metal door swung open like a mouth. Out came an English man with a suit. I looked back and saw the long wooden drawbridge come back up. There was also a swimming pool, then the man said it was a moat.

Lamborghini

Lamborghini 

As the glooming lamborghini zoomed past as I saw the design and texture on the car. At night I can only see it's dark eyes glaring through my heart. It is like a super fast cheetah zooming past me so fast. It moves so fast I jump away. Whenever I see the car I think it's a masterpiece. It looks so delicate I wish my dad had one. My dad said it was going to be the last time I saw it. My dad also said it was to powerful, it was like a flaming bill.

Power Surge by Leonardo

The fear of falling is spreading in my head like wild fire. The smell of vomit is poisoning, threatening me to do it.  The sky, cars and hands are just a blur. When is this life threatening ride going to end? I hold my breath so vomit doesn't come up. My tummy is churning and tossing. I scream so loud my voice box hurts. The people in line are as tiny as baby ants. Finally I'm off but I'm feeling dizzy I have to lie down... bbluuuhhh noooooooo.

ORIGINAL SENTENCE: THE BEACH WAS EMPTY ON THIS STORMY DAY

IMPROVED SENTENCE: THE BEACH WAS EMPTY, ALTHOUGH WE STILL WERE HAVING A BBQ ON THIS STORMY DAY

The Bright Green Lamborghini By Hannah

The gleaming of wheels daze my eyes while the sleek design of the Lamborghini zooms wildly past. My eyes narrow as the glaring frustrating lights blaze in the night sky.  The vain Lamborghini screeches its tires tearing around the motorway. The unusual doors that go upwards close and it dashes away in a blur. Bright green is the colour of the Veneous Lamborghini. The rumble of the engine deafens my ears as my arms start to tremble. My dry throat quenches more and more for water as I watch the bright green cheetah whizes away.

By Hannah

The bright red Lamborghini By Matthew

The new Lamborghini Sesto Elemento raced down the street with its angel-like lights shining on me. The roaring engine hurts people's ears while I drive past. The sleekly designed body catches people's eyes. The nitrogen-filled tyres lifts up the body. The Lamborghini races down the road like a F1 (Formula 1) car. It accelerates like a plane taking off. I think it can go faster than anything else on earth.

THE DEVIL'S WHEEL By Harry

The time of happiness is up. The ungreased gears of the power surge creak up. I'm in the sky now. I still taste that disgusting low caliorie ice cream. Suddenley I hear a shunt of a lever. Screams make my ear drums bleed. People strapped tight in front of me hang on for thier dear lives. The wind trys to rip me in half. Suddenly, the person in front of me let out the most vile vomit ever. I'm relived that the low calorie ice cream taste is gone, because there's nothing worst than that. I can now sense everyone's fear of dying. I too end up thinking I'm goning to die but just then, a forgiving mechanic below pulls a lever. The devil's wheel stops moving. I unstrap, I spit out the vomit, fall to the ground, and smooch it.

The Ancient Castle by James

The ancient castle, although it was rubble, perched on the lonely deserted hill in the dystopian society.

Why I want to meet Sachin Tendulkar By Shaan

One person I'd want to meet in history is Sachin Tendulkar because he is the most famous cricket player ever. He started in 1989 against India's old rivals Pakistan when he was only 16 years old, then last year he played his last match vs West Indies in the final match of the test series when it was his 200th test match. His highest score in tests was 248 not out vs Bangladesh in December 2004 at Dhaka. My mother has met Sachin Tendulkar before I was born. He is nicknamed as 'The Little Master'. In One Day International's, his highest score was 200 not out vs South Africa in the 2000s where India made 401 for 3 after 50 overs. He plays the IPL (Indian Premier League). He played for the Mumbai Indians which Corey Anderson from New Zealand is playing for in this year's IPL. His highest score in IPL is 100 not out vs Kochi Tuskers in 2011. He can bowl but he doesn't do it that often. His best bowling statistics in One Day International's was 5 wickets for 32 runs against Australia at Mirpur in 2001 when he got Man of the Match for his superb bowling. In Tests, his best bowling statistics are 3 wickets for 14 runs vs the No. 1 test team South Africa but not against Sachin Tendulkar. In cricket he has scored 85,356 runs altogether in International and Domestic cricket. He is one of my favourite players in all cricket. I definitely want to meet him.

Swiming sports

Last Friday Totara went to swiming sports by bus. When we got there we waited for it to start.
When it started pepole swam a length and then they had the length finals. and after that they had the width and the width finals. They had freestyle, backstroke,  breaststroke and board free style.
Afterwards there was freeplay. Then we left and came back to school.

Jungle Fire Part 1 by Oska

Streaking fire gnawed through the clearing as though it was a wild wolf howling great bursts of flames.

I snatched Flint, my sooty coloured baby flying snake, out of the sky around me. He gave a hiss of disapproval, but when he caught sight of the fire his turquoise eyes turned huge and glossy.

We leapt out of our tree hut to land on the forest floor. I had my backpack on just in case the fire burned down the...Oh crud! It was going to! I leaped and plunged towards the river, when I reached it I dived in, unaware of the hidden danger…

My name is James Dare, I was brought up in the raging forests of Heria cut away from the rest of the kingdom.

The Mad Scientist

I followed the evil scientist without him knowing. He trotted into a DARK ROOM.  What I saw I would never forget. What I saw- It had a big body and gloomy green skin. You're right- It Was Frankinstein. He caught sight of me as I started to sprint away He chased after me like a dog chasing a ball. I ran out of the lab panicing and hid behind a tree "Did I lose him?" I whispered to my self…

A Dark place

My heart was beating. An old, slimy, wet staircase appeared in front of me. "What shall I do?" I asked. But nobody was there. All I heard was the wind howling. My hands were shaking. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. It was a horridle day. There were grey clouds everywhere. I saw bright lights in the sky. It was so dark.                                                                 
                                      HELP ME...

Sentence of the Day (add a clause) by Shaan

Original: The castle was on the hill.

Improvement: The ancient castle stood tall carefully on the deserted hill, as though it had been there for over 500 years.

Too Much Fun By Kahma

I hear the sound of myself, Tom and Harry howling with laughter. We're laughing so hard our brains might explode (hopefully not). The odour of stinky mud pains my nose, but I see the clear water glisten above which seems to make the stench powerless. I can taste Mum's dry meatloaf I had eaten earlier, as I burp. I feel Tom tugging my shoulder yelling, ''This is so much fun!" 

I laugh in agreement, I wish school didn't exist so we could do this everyday. It would also to stop Dad lecturing me about my bad grades.   

Sentence of The Day by Azure

Task: add two adjectives and improve the verb

Original: The grass moved as the breeze passed through it.

Improved: The healthy moist grass shivered side-to-side as the breeze swirled through it very gingerly. 

The Power Surge By Hannah

I felt my warm breath against my chest as I had an anxious thought that I might fall out... The stench of rubber started to slowly drifted up my nose. Whenever the cars zoomed past my safety belt felt like it was coming loose. I saw the blue sky shimmering and I let out a squeak of excitement. Out of the corner of my eye I got a glimpse of the corkscrew roller coaster going round and round. The taste of hot dogs still stained my mouth from lunch.

By Hannah 

Sentence of the Day

The grass gently swished as the strong breeze zoomed though.

The Sad Castle by Felix

The ruined castle watched over the joyful village as if it wanted to join in. 

Power surge by Jake

The fear fall looms up in the distance.  Another wave of dizziness sweeps over me as the disgusting taste of vomit lurks in my mouth. The aroma of candy floss flies up my nose. I'm certainly regretting going on this ride. The power surge is too fast!

Power Surge By Liv

The deep rumbling started, I looked at Noush, she gave me an awkward smile as a worried response.

I looked cautiously at Mum, but soon enough she disappeared with a blur. 

Even though it was pitch black with my eyelids shut tight I could still hear my friends piercing screams.

I felt my shaking fingers gripping tighter the the craggy seat.

My throat felt like I swallowed a cloud.

Then I saw my mum, and Noush gave me a calm, happy smile and the the deep rumbling became lighter. 

Medieval castle

The rusty drawbridge sags creakily if even the slightest starved mouse limps across. The gloopy moat slodges about under my feet damp and unforgiving. Tall turrets try to lean against the crusty castle. The rusty portcullis screeches in pain if you try to open it. There is not a sound of a happy soul anywhere as the wind blows soullessly through the still cold air. 

Power Surge By Eli

I can hear people screaming and my heart pounding, as the person-next-to-me's candy floss breath wafts up my nose. All I could see was clouds, sky and the sides of my seat straps. All I could taste was the candy floss I had for lunch. It felt like I was going to vomit in the middle of the ride but luckily I didn't. All I could feel was fear, I tried closing my eyes but it didn't make a difference. Then in that moment, I knew I was never going to go on another roller coaster.

Forgotten By Kahma

An medieval castle lies lifeless, the tall turret's point pricks through the rain, as the rusting iron portcullis       

slowly creaks open. The wooden drawbridge silently started to lower. I look down at the moat, the reflections of lost kings hide beneath the blurred water. 

Power surge By Cassie

I could smell the hot dogs from a long way away. I thought I was going to be sick. I could hear the wind crashing trough my ears. I could see the sky clearly. I could feel my heart beating and the cold air blowing in my face. I could taste the cold air and the candy floss I ate before the ride, which was a big mistake!

Power Surge by Emily

As they buckled up my seat belt I thought, "Is this a good idea?" By the time I decided it wasn't, it was too late. Up I went, wind whistling in my ears and all the while my stomach churned as I went just a bit to far out my comfort zone. My muscles tightened as I turned around just waiting to fall out. Sick started slipping up my throat. I saw lots of little faces turning around and around. Then suddenly I felt a jerk as the ride stopped. "Thank goodness that's over," I thought to myself with relief.

by Emily

The power surge by Anouska

I gazed at the blurry sky, the taste of my toffee apple swishing in my mouth. The whining wind wipped at my ears as the smell of fresh polar-air blasted up my nose. I felt the blood rushing to my head... OH NO! MY SEAT BELT IS LOOSE! Suddenly I felt dizzy. The soft white clouds streamed past my eyes as I heard a deep rumbling sound that I haden't noticed before.

Staircase to Heaven by Leonardo

Saliva builds up in my mouth and the smell of wet leaves fills up my nose. I am thinking of angels and cupids. Leaves flutter past me. I feel the tingling of the numbness in my fingers. The brightness is blinding me. This is so confusing and weirdly crazy.

THE POWER SURGE! By Matthew

My heart was racing up my throat so that I could taste vomit. I could feel the soft seat under my back. I  heard the other people on the ride SCREAMING their heads off. That really hurt my ears. The sound of whirling came from the engine. My friends were watching in horror at the front of the line. I thought my seat belt was loose....... would I fall out?? It felt like I would.

The Power Surge at Rainbows End By Toby

Cold surges of impromptu wind viciously infiltrates my frothy mouth, while blurs of glimmering white clouds stream past me.

I touch the slippery bar with my hand shaking violently of nervousness of a rare mechanical mishap. Wafts of air smelling like oil that obviously came from the somewhat tedious spinning mechanism hastily entered my nose.

But my brother was somewhat oblivious to the stench, in order to listen to the mechanical whirr, as if it was music to his ears.

The blue sky above me is astoundingly shiny and like I am ond the edge of blindness. But then I think, how did my brother talk me into this?

Freedom By Eli

There it was, freedom, happiness, seeing light for the very first time. Rain dripping continuously. It was hell until God called my name. Angels were singing, my heart pounding, the wind blowing like never before, the mysterious rip in the clouds blew fresh air into my mouth. I was free.

The Light by William

The clouds parted before me and all rain, sleet, thunder and lightning ceased. I could feel the rain drying with the intense but welcome heat and light. The algae covered and musky steps vanished into the sun like space in my line of sight, I drew hope from it and heard the gentle voices wafting over to beckon me. I knew what this unearthly light was, after all I'd done I knew this was heaven. So then banished all thoughts of despair, replaced them with steely determination and took my first step on a long road to freedom and happiness.
