Pav's 100 Word Challenge

"BOOM!" A bomb crashed into London's Tower Bridge.
"Sargent Rogers!" yelled Winston Churchill.
Sargent Rogers asked, *"How can I help you?"*
"Get all the pilots to shoot down the German planes before they destroy the rest of London," replied Winston.
Rogers rushed to tell me and the rest of the pilots. We all quickly got into our planes. My heart started pounding against my rib cage as I started my ascent into the sky. I could barely see because of the smoke and fire from the shot down planes. Then next, in a blink of an eye I woke up in a hospital bed...

Georgia's 100 Word Challenge

"Aahh!" I yawned as I got out of bed and put my slippers and dressing gown on. I crept downstairs really slowly. As I stood on the last step, I lost my balance and fell over. My mind went blank.
"Erm...where am I?" I whispered to myself as I fully opened my eyes. I was in a strange room. I looked to the side and there was Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and Harry Potter.
"Aaahhh! Sorry. Well...Hi," I mumbled. "Where am I"
"How can I help you?" Hermione asked.
Just as I opened my mouth Voldemort appeared.
"Ruuuunnnnn!" screamed Ron and Harry...

Sport Relief 2012

 

The children had a great time today raising money for Sport Relief. They were asked to come to school in 'sports clothing' and were then given an opportunity to take part in the following sporting activities and games:

• Penalty Shootout
• Crossbar Challenge
• Keep Ups
• Obstacle Course
• Netball Shoot
• Tennis Keep Ups
• Frisbee Target
• Parachute Games
• Hula Hoops
• Chip in Bin
• Spinning Plates
• Crossbar Inflatable

All the money that was donated for wearing sports clothing and used to pay for the activities has totaled approximately £600 for Sport Relief.

That is an amazing effort! A huge thank you must go to all the staff for making the event very successful and all the children and parents / guardians for their very generous donations.

Visit www.sportrelief.com to find out how the money we raised will help change lives here in the UK and across the world's poorest countries. 

Thank you

Albena's 100 Word Challenge

I was carefully creeping along the grass when I suddenly saw fifty white spiders. I was so shocked that I turned pale white! Suddenly, I felt my hand touch the spider. I pushed it so hard that it fell off the branch it was clinging on to. The other spiders looked at me with beady eyes and came charging towards me. I started to walk backwards, but then I realised that they were poisonous, so I started to run as fast as I could. The spiders were too fast for me and they caught me up. I screamed as loud as I could, but ...

Beth's 100 Word Challenge

Lately, my dad has constantly been telling us all to be careful of these imaginary, fifty white spiders. Everyone thinks he is going bonkers! He said he saw a spider under the table and on time he even pushed mum onto the sofa! Dad, himself, was always walking and cooking carefully. But then, one morning I regret calling him bonkers because that morning I saw all fifty of the white spiders crawling across my bedroom floor. That morning I went downstairs to apologise and told my mum and brother that I had seen the spiders. From that day on we always believed dad!

Lillie's 100 Word Challenge

I carefully pushed the creaky door. Then when I opened the door there was about fifty white spiders!
"Argh," I screamed, as the fifty white spiders started to jump on me and attack me with their slimy, furry, white legs. "Get off me," I yelled.
I got all of them off me and slammed the door shut. For a moment I rested against the door. Then I felt a spider crawling up my leg.
"I thought they were in the other room," I said to myself. All of a sudden, I saw them coming through the wall.
"ARGH, I'M SO SCARED!" I screamed.

Ollie's 100 Word Challenge

It was a normal day and I was playing football in my garden with my mates, when one of them kicked the ball into a hedge and wouldn't go and get it. I decided that I would get it, so I carefully pushed open the hedge and to my surprise about fifty white spiders came scurrying out of the hedge. Some of my mates ran away, but others stayed to get a closer look at the creatures. I stepped closer to touch one of them, but it bit me and the rest showed their teeth, so we all ran away!

Patrick's 100 Word Challenge

I awoke in my warm, cosy bed and yawned deeply, "BRRR!" My alarm clock booked loudly. Suddenly, my sister rushed through the door.
"TV time! Aagh, mega spider!" She shouted in fear.
"Ha Ha, it's just my pet taranchula, Jim." Then a spot of mischief hit my brain. I sneakily crept into my sister's room and wound her alarm clock back to eleven fifty at night. After she went to bed that evening, I crept into her room once more and carefully put my white spider on her.
"BRRR!" She woke up. "Aagh," she screamed. "Get it off me," She pushed back her covers and chased me through the house.

Alex's 100 Word Challenge

One day I was out fishing in a fishing boat and was just about to run out of bait. Suddenly, the weather changed for the worse; huge waves started to crash against the side of the boat! It started to calm down, but then the most horrendous storm whipped up! A hurricane started which was most devastating. Gallons of water went flying into the hurricane and then dropped making a splash so loud it rattled the sky! When the water hit, a colossal whirlpool started. The boat was heading towards the whirlpool, with the captain trying his hardest to steer us away...
