The Evil Scientist and the Robot


by Thilo

The desert was empty except for a solitary warehouse. It stood alone on the sand dunes which shifted whenever the wind howled and whistled.

Inside the shed there was an evil scientist who had built a malevolent robot. This robot had to pollute the earth’s air. To achieve this, the scientist had put dangerous chemicals into the robot.

Each night the massive robot walked on his six legs to reach a major city by dawn. As the sun came up and the people came out of their houses the poisonous smoke would blow out of the robot’s chimney.

The people were very worried about the robot!! The world leaders had serious meetings. They tried to bomb the robot, but it was indestructible. And also, it was impossible to to find out where the robot would go to next. Because first it went to America and then to Russia.

One day, as the robot went back to the warehouse for more chemicals, the evil scientist stood in front of the door. As the robot came over the overjoyed man shouted
“ You are on the news! You did very well! Come in!”
When the robot entered the door the shed darkened as the robot filled the whole door.

The scientist asked “How many people did you actually kill?”
“Five million” replied the robot.

More chemicals were put into the robot. Suddenly the scientist wheezed “ Oh no! The polluter!!”

Next day, in the newspaper Robot switched off was the front page title. And,  Controller killed himself was the subtitle.

Now the robot has been trained to help the police catch the criminals.

The Big Bad Wolf !!


Never go to the dark freaky forest as you will  see the wolf sneaking through bush. He will use
his sharp teeth to bite you. He is fast, you will
never see him and you will never know you’re gone.

"Watch out", the wolf has razor sharp teeth like
an assassin’s blade.His brown paws are hairy like a pola bear.Mr wolf has giant hairy ears which are used for hearing danger and people.

The wolf has a big loud voice,As he goes "Aaahooooooooooooooooooo," He could scare Red Riding Hood.The wolf runs fast and never stops finding food.

Mr wolf sneaks through the bush then he will jump on you with his sharp claws.You will never feel what happened because he is fast. Mr wolf will not stop eating meat until he dies.

I will feel so afraid when l see mr wolf running fast in the freaky woods.

My thought is mr wolf is strong enough to kill other animals and he is so Evil!!!!!!!!!.

Mr wolf follows anything he like see's like Red Riding Hood and other people.

Cheetah

by  Neil

Cheetah

Long with black spots

Snarling and growling

Running and leaping through the air
Thin and sleek

Camouflaged in the grass.

2014 senior syndicate speeches

Aria, James, Neil and Ashin all stood up and said their speech in front of the class this term. Here is Neil's speech, full of jokes!

Hey, James, can you please stand up?
Can you guess what my speech is about?

That's right - it's not easy being me. I am going to tell you why.

Being a twin AND cleaning the house AND leaning English is not easy.

It is not easy because we get the same present for our birthday, same shoes, same clothes.
People also call us the same name, maybe because we have the same face and maybe the same colour of skin and hair.
How would you feel if you get into trouble for something that your twin did, and that's why it is hard being a twin.

The next one I would like to talk about is cleaning the house.
Cleaning the house is really hard because I have to clean birds' poo and their cage. It takes 10 minutes to clean the cage. 
And I hate cleaning my room! I have to pick up my toys, my clothes and make my bed, and also have to clean the disgusting smelly toilet. And I have to wash the dishes, and I wish I could play 'minecraft', not wash the dishes!!
I have to clean the shower and the lounge, it's really hard work!
I also have to clean the garage and the backyard. That's why it's not easy cleaning the house.

There is another thing that is hard being me. That is learning English.
Do you know how many words I have to learn?
Maybe a million!
People tell me things that I don't understand.
A ball to me is something to bounce. When I read about a girl going to a fancy dress ball - guess what? -  I thought she is going to play with a bouncy ball!

Now you can see why it is hard being me. I have a twin, I have to clean the house and learn English.
If this keeps happening I will pull my hair out and scream like a girl!!!
Thank you.

TRIP TO THE W.O.W MUSEUM





 There were lots of different cars and dresses


this is one dress, we were not allowed to take some photos. I don't know why.


 W.O.W means World Of Wearable art
this is another dress they are all pretty special!

This car looks pretty cool because on that car is the English flag on it.




There were also old cars and they look awesome.








This car is really rusty and I don't think that it can drive.






The modern cars are also awesome because they are inside large and this got a TV and stuff like that
