Allergies

Allergies are a big problem on earth right now. Allergies happen when you eat something or smell something and your body thinks its bad for you. That's called an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction is when an allergen goes into your body and it reacts by coughing,sneezing,itching and really rarely dying. An allergen is something that your body causes a reaction for. A lot of people have allergies these days .I have done a survey around my classroom  and 75% of people have allergies, 20% of people don't have allergies and 5% of people weren't sure if they had allergies or not. The most common allergies are Hayfever (caused by pollen, mostly from hay), peanut allergy, bee allergy and drug allergy. I hope now you know more about allergies. Thank you for reading.

Flying High

My heart was racing, my head was pounding, and sweat was slithering down my back as my turn on the Rambo had come up. The Rambo Bridge was a humongous tree with a big log attached to it. I took a deep breath...That didn’t help. I gulped in a whole heap of smoke and burnt pancakes. YUK! I looked behind me and saw another group cooking. “It’s your turn James”, Yelled the instructor. As I approached the ladder my legs were shaking. “I can do this, I can do this”, I thought to myself. I started to climb up. I felt like the world was going in slow motion as I was climbing. Suddenly I gave up. I couldn’t go any more. My legs Said,”Stop! “. “Can I come down now?” I said nervously. He didn’t hear. “Um can I come down now!? “Sorry what?” Said the instructor. It was no point he wouldn’t hear. I tugged the rope to say I’ve had enough. The instructor told me to jump down. I didn’t refuse I jumped and landed safely. “So anyone for second turns?” I sighed and said, No thanks.


The next activity was raft building,”It can’t be that bad”, I thought. I was wrong the girls were running and pushing whatever was in their way. “To see what I thought” I thought. My eyes widened. Sheep! Sheep! What on earth would you want to see sheep for all they do is eat, sleep and poop Raft buildings far more interesting”, I said in disgust. I sighed and walked away. First things first, safety, we put on life jackets and helmets. Then we had to build a raft included: 4 barrels, bamboo and rope. My group planned what it would look like. To be honest my plan was far more interesting but then again, “ 1 vs. 6 girls” I thought. “Ok this is how you tie a knot” said the instructor. I didn’t listen and soon enough the time came. Time to tow in the boat. COLD IN THE CROTCH! I felt my legs go numb and the water was so cold it stung. “Oh no! Instructor please stop talking!” I thought. I was in agony.”

“No I won’t do it I just won’t do it”, I said nervously. “C’mon do it. If you do the flying kiwi I will do the Rambo bridge”, said Mrs McGhie, “By the way I’m scared of heights”. That made things easier but I still couldn’t decide. I felt like the world depended on me. It was a hard decision I didn’t want to do it but I wanted Mrs McGhie to do the Rambo Bridge. In a flash I said yes. I was nervous but not as nervous as when I did the Rambo Bridge. I tried to make it look like I was messing up while putting on the harness; it didn’t make a difference. At least I was last. James your turn’s up! “What?!” I said in shock. “M-m-my turn? Really”, I said in confusion. I didn't know what was going on. I got hooked up to the rope and was ready. 3...2...1. GO! “Ahhhhhhhh”,I yelled. Woah this is awesome I had been fired straight up into the air. I started to come down. “ I wasn’t to do this again”, I shouted. “ Well this means I have to do the Rambo bridge but good job!”, said Mrs McGhie. Wow from being so nervous to do it again!

Go Mrs McGhie! Go Mrs McGhie!”, yelled everyone. Mrs McGhie took off her glasses and started to climb up the Rambo Bridge. Mrs McGhie bolted up and in no time she was up. I could tell Mrs McGhie was terrified. She started walking across very nervously. Mrs McGhie got about half way and stopped she was too scared. Wow! When she came down upside down! “yeah!!!”yelled everyone once again. “Mrs McGhie that was an awesome deal”, I said “That was a huge deal”, Mrs McGhie replied.

100 Word Challenge

                                                                          HELP

My parents had just put me to bed. I was in my pitch black room. I could hear crunching and rustling from outside my bedroom window. I could hear tapping from tree branches against my wall.

From in the hall I could hear footsteps, they were getting louder and louder. From the bottom of my door I could make out feet. I could see mr door handle twist one way and then the other. My bedroom door started, very slowly opening...

And then I saw a bright light, shining in my eyes. A black figure walked right up to my bed. It was just standing there.

100 word challenge

I woke up in terror, I felt like everything was going to hurt me after what had happened. I was shaking in horror, I just couldn't forget about it.

I was in my room, I could hear the roaring fire grow as my family screamed. I froze, I did nothing. The burning building started to collapse. I quickly jumped out of my window. I smacked onto the cold hard ground below. I couldn't move and then I saw a bright light. The next thing I knew I woke up here in a hospital. I got told where my family, they were gone and I was alone.

100 Word Challenge

It was midnight, the darkest night of the year. I was walking through the back allies of London thinking why am I doing this? There was only one reason, I had lost my parents during the day and I was trying to find them. I turned a corner and then I saw a bright light, it was a torch, the brightest I had ever seen. My parents were so happy to find me and I was too. I was only 4 when that happened and to find my parents was the BEST thing that had happened to me ever!

100 word challenge



I was walking down the street it was dark and empty.
It was a ghost town! I am lost, I am scared, I am alone.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Who's that? What's there? Where am I?"
And then I saw a bright light!
It was blinding and hurting my eyes.
"Don't worry young one you're safe with me"
His voice was familiar, rough and musty, but old and gentle.
I knew his voice from somewhere, but where?
But then something interrupted my thoughts.
“Come on kid get in the car, Mum’s waiting for us”
“DAD!”

I had found my REAL FATHER!

Bullying

Bullying is a verb, meaning: being mean and hurting someone. Bullying happens in schools, but it can also happen in adult life. This is not a just about hurting someone by saying something and it is not even hitting someone because you hate them. It is a crime, that you'll need to get punished. Bullying can cause the victim to commit suicide, and that's why it is a crime that you should never do in your life. Here are some different types of bullying.

Psychological Bullying
Usually bullying happens in schools. The bullies are trying to make their victim think they're useless, weird, and different from others. The bullies try to take the victims friends away to feel lonely. The bullies laugh at them, spread rumours, and etc. This is nearly invisible to the victims parents or their caregivers. A bully usually have sidekicks to make sure they're not alone, but sometimes the sidekick runs away and leave the bully all alone.

Cyber Bullying
Cyber bullying basically means 'online bullying'. It happens on the internet like Facebook, Twitter, and more. Bullying on internets can spread rumors quickly because if one of the bully post something that is not good for the victim. Then another person shares the photo and others can easily share too! That's the bad thing about cyber bullying. This happens to teenagers because 10 year olds can't join facebook or twitter. Cyber bullying collects more people to join the main bully to make the victim more uncomfortable.

Physical Bullying
Physical bullying is the most violent bullying. It is very hurtful of the victim. However, this bullying can stop easily because the victim's body might bleed from the bullies and their parents will notice easily.
Then the parents will put a stop to it. But the victim feels shy of themselves and wipe out all the evidance and just keep normal. Care about your child more to make them have happy, good adulthood.

As it says on the top paragraph bullying is nearly invisible from the victim's parents. Therefore, bullying can cause many problems in the future. Getting bullied is not a shy thing so be confident and speak to the bullies, and tell an adult that you trust. Get some trusted friends to help you out with the bullies. If you see someone getting bullied maybe you can help the victim to get out of the bullies. If you get an email that seems like bullying resend it to your parents so you have evidence, and tell them don't send any of this stuff. Hope you are not getting bullied!

How Slime Teleported to Minecraft and was Defeated by Steve

                                                               Part 7
I was in a dark place deep underground there was lava and fire everywhere. I turned around and I saw Zombie Pigmen. I also saw a Nether Stronghold. I went in it. There was a Blaze. I knew I had to kill it but I didn't know how to. I circled by himand attacked him. It didn't take long to kill him so I took his rod and jumped back into the portal.

How Slime Teleported to Minecraft and was Defeated by Steve

                                                                  Part 6
I woke up again. "Time to go mining" I thought. So I grabbed my Diamond Pickaxe, my Diamond Sword and 10 cooked porkchops. I walked down the stairs in my mineshaft. I started mining. And guess what I found-a ravine with a STRONGHOLD!!! I went into it and I just needed 1 eye of ender to finish the portal. I started looking for obsidian to go to the Nether to find Blazes to get Blaze rods to make Blaze powder to make an eye of ender. So I started mining the obsidian that I just found. I went back to my house. I made the portal took my flint and steel and it made the purple particles appear. I jumped in.
