Amiria 100 word challenge

As I lie on the grass I eat my sweet corn chips with my cat Row and my dog Sweet. The blue birds fly across the sky over my house. ‘ Come on Amiria let’s go to the beach’ Yelled mum. ‘Okay Mum’ Replied Amiria. They walked down to the beach side by side with Sweet the dog. ‘ ‘Look mum there is the beach and there is the  Kai iwi Beach Park. Said Amiria. ‘ Sweet do you want to play fetch? Asked Mum ‘ Ruff ‘ Sweet replied ‘ FETCH ‘ Yelled Amiria. So they went to go and play in the water and play at the beach park. They lived happily ever after.

Lindsay 100 Word Challenge

“One, two, one, two,”I think, my arms aching as I row,  watching the countryside fly by. We’re almost done with practice today; everyone’s tired, hungry and soaking. Taking a quick break, I lie down in the boat to catch my breath. After a quick glare from my rowing team, I groan and pick my oar up. “It’s not long till we get to the dock,” I think. I say aloud,”Hey, want to get some fish and chips after?”

My response is relatively positive, seeing as we’ve been working out. When we get to the dock, everyone performs the daily ritual of cleaning up. I usher everyone into my car, handing out sweet peanut and chocolate energy bars.

Sweet rows

Sweet rows

Today is the best day of MY LIFE! I’m in a  chocolate FACTORY. I’m in this long hall there are these sweet rows of chocolate down and they have every kind of CHOCOLATE it’s amazing!  The chocolate comes out the bottom when you press the button on the tube. As I lie here and stuff my face with  caramel chocolate chips  writing this I wonder if there are chocolates somewhere in here that can FLY!  That would be so AWESOME that could just fly into my mouth!!  I have a plan I’m going to sneak some chocolates home because there’s some good stuff here! It’s home time and I think I put on like 2 kgs of chocolate today and like 2 more kgs of the chocolate that in my pockets.

Chloe's 100 WC

Today is the BEST day of my life, because I going to a chocolate factory. I get to do whatever I want. A small group of us have just entered the Cadbury chocolate factory. As I walked down this amazing hall I can see on the wall rows of  sweet chocolate chips. I just want to lick the chips so bad. I looked up and it looked like Mr Wonka had just invented a bar of chocolate that can fly. I was amazed by what he has invented in the chocolate factory!

Then suddenly the door slammed the windows opened ,“I've come to help you,” said a voice  coming through the window. “What?“ Kai muttered. “Come “ said the voice again”. Lighting struck and waves were crashing Kai was confused. “Umm who are you and why do you want me"? ”I have a gift for you but hold still".  BANG Kai woke he didn't know what had happened. “What happened”? no one answered he looked around and \ then he got up from a chair and started walking he stretched his arms out,  lasers came out of his arms. “Ouch what was that? Do I have super powers“? he mumbled “No i'm being silly “ Kai turned around  there it was staring right at him…

My super hero

My mum is not like other superheroes that can fly but my mum has special powers .Those powers are looking after me and taking care of me. Making sure that I have enough to eat making sure that my clothes are washed and the last thing is making sure I have got enough love from my mum. I love my mum more than anyone else she takes care of me the most. On mother's day I usually give her jewellery but that's not enough she would give her life just for me. My mum is my superhero.
