ECR - Enchanted Chainsaw Rampage

Every Monday The Witty Wordsmiths, Anya, Evie, Torin and Olive, get a new story starter from the website FaboStory and then we're challenged to write the middle and end to the story. On Friday Andrea enters them into the writing competition and hopefully, one of us wins. 

Maureen is one of the Fabostory writers...

Maureen’s Story Starter (the story starter that was sent to us)

The school caretaker looked at the remains of his storage shed. “What a mess.” He shook his head. Scientists were calling it a localised earthquake. There was the heap of rubble in front of him.
Very localised, he thought. Just his shed.

The principal patted his arm. “I’m sorry. The insurance company is calling it an Act of God so they won’t pay out any money to help us rebuild it.”

“All my tools were in there,” the caretaker sighed. “The school tractor is under there and the mower…. All the paint and the pool chemicals are in there too….”

There was a slight shifting in the bricks and dirt then a slide of debris cascaded down.

The principal backed away quickly.

The caretaker stared in horror. “Oh no! I forgot I left….”

Anya's story starts here....

Finish the story here:: "my enchanted chainsaw in that broken shed!"shouted the caretaker."Oh no!The rocks are going to hit the button of the chainsaw!" exclaimed the principal. The caretaker smirked. "Mwuhahahaha!" laughed the caretaker .Then RIP!The caretaker ripped off his clothes .He was an evil scientist!"Evil Mc Glee's the name... enchanting things is my game. "Charmed Evil Mc Glee." Mr help me!"cried the principal."NO!" shouted Evil mc Glee."my chainsaw will kill you!" Suddenly the principal put his hand in front of him like he was using the force. The chainsaw went flying towards Evil mc Glee and it hit him! Evil mc Glee turned into a goat!?!"baaa baa ba baaa*" Baa-ed Evil Mc Glee. The goat ran away out of the school." Well no more caretaker, but only a goat"sighed the principal. "Should we turn the school into a petting zoo?" asked a kid who just came out of class. "Maybe so." replied the principal. The next day as you all know ,no more school but a new petting zoo.*you will pay for that.

Bring Back the Monkeybars #BBMB

Most children bring a yummy lunch and a new bag to the first day of school. Ila and Jaya brought that, and more. They came to school armed to change the world...well, at least Grey Lynn Park. Over the summer they started a campaign and brought all their petitions, signs and badges to school o start the #BBMB movement. 

Jaya and Ila started a petition to bring back the monkey bars at Grey Lynn Park. They shared their idea at the first school assembly. 

Please watch the video below, and if you can help, sign their petition and support them. 

This goes to prove that it doesn't matter how small you are, speak out about a good cause and your voice is LOUD!!!!


Jaya and Ila.

My America Trip

As last time I'm writing about my trip to America. It was so hot I was melting to little pieces. When we went to New York I ate a massive piece of pizza. It was so big I had to eat it very slowly. One night when my mum went out to the Bruce Springsteen's concert, which by the way went for four hours, was good, but anyway, while she was there my mum's mum and dad went out and took us to the Lion King movie {live}. My rating of it out of ten would probably be eight  because it was a musical not just a normal performance but I liked it. After she went and brought us a packet of pringles and one of those really big pizza slices. I got a Margarita and George got a Hawaiian unlike me. I got full halfway through it and then they all helped me. Stay in touch for next weeks edition.

Aliens ATTACK!!!!

Once upon a time there was a house in space that had Aliens that lived inside the house they looked super weird. They had three eyes and lived right next to Titan.  The aliens transport systems could travel five times faster than the speed of light. Their transport systems are... rocket bike, rocket ship and mother ship [ 59,0000 times bigger than the sun] . The mother ship can fit over 99.9.99.9.99,000000000000000000 passengers... p.s there is 99.9000000000 mother ships . If the captain was to be a human the human would probably crash the ship. The aliens favourite food is dark matter.  The aliens names where... Johnny , Jack , Jeremy and Lucy. The aliens went to their motherships and then they fired up the engines and then flew to earth. They invaded earth and killed every life form on earth then blew it up BOOM [ Human ] AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! the end  by Jozier 31.10.16                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Alien Invasion

Once upon a time there was a  space city that  was on planet mars. Each house had a rocket that could travel faster than speed of light. Each building had eleven rockets that could travel faster than the speed of light. In fact it took 4.2 seconds to get to Jupiter. Why would you need a rocket, you ask? To get food . What do they eat, you ask... meteorites. Who lives here, you ask...aliens .                                                                                                                                                                                                   One day they found out about a new planet called Earth .[Not really new] They were really interested  in it so  decided to go check it out .They went in there rockets and went so fast, in fact, I think it only took 2.1 seconds to get there. Once they got there they checked it out they didn't like humans so they destroyed earth and that was that .By Noah .

Halloween

Today after school it is going to be Halloween. I'm going to dress up as a zombie and me and my brother and sister have already started to
decorate are house with Halloween decorating things. My sister and brother are both going to dress up as a monster but I'm not sure if they are going to trick or treat because I'm going to trick treat. I think I that I could get over fifty lollies in my bag of a pumpkin shape. I cant wait till I go trick or treating. If my brother and sister do actually come trick or treating I might go trick or treating with Rhys and Luca and lots of other people. My mum said I could only have some of my lollies after Halloween because she doesn't want me to get sick and saying I want to have more lollies please and my mum would say no and I  would start to get angry and get told off . If I talk back and that would be really naughty. Last Halloween I went to Luca's and Rhys's and we got to watch lot's of TV but we actually got to play age of war the others watch the TV when I played it. By Ben
