Sabrina




My greatest fear is going into the dark. I am scared of the dark because I always think that in the dark that there are creepy monsters. When I was small I was really scared when I was going to my bedroom. Even when I was in bed I was still very scared. Whenever I am asked to go upstairs in the dark ,I am always scared.
Alyssa


What I fear the most is wasps. A wasp bit me and the bites are sore. They are very dangerous insects that like to fly around. They hurt so much.
Jessica
What I fear the most is a game called Five Night at Freddy. It is a spooky game with lots of jumpscares. Before a jumpscare the lights go out and you hear some wind up music then a slender man pops out.I  play this game on my iPad. It's fun and very scary.

The Robot Batteries

There was a submarine moving along the rough and cold ocean floor. The long submarine carried a little boy named Tim. With the five year old boy there was also a friendly and electrifying robot.

While they were under the ocean playing with their plastic toys, the robot´s old batteries accidentally ran out.

Suddenly the robot shut down frantically.

Luckily Tim had two spare batteries that the funny robot could borrow, and he placed the clean batteries carefully back on the robot.

`Oh no’, yelled the worried boy. ‘We don´t have enough batteries´! The robot opened his eyes slowly. Tim and the robot rushed to their onboard base. There they had a miniature submarine stored.

Tim drove while the robot was being an annoying co-pilot. The little submarine had an onboard arm that could grab heavy objects.

`Now all we have to do is find some batteries´. Tim exclaimed contentedly.

`There´s one´ mentioned the anxious robot.

The battery was moving (they didn´t know why).

They just grabbed the battery.

When their path lightened the robot looked backwards.

`Watch out, a bulb-fish´! The alarmed robot gasped.

They tried to trick the ginormous fish.

`Look´ the robot shrieked. 'A narrow path´!

Tim drove through the narrow path with the fish in close pursuit.

The fish crashed into the narrow path, an

 Tim and the robot grabbed the battery.

`We’re safe´! the robot expressed.

The Bridge

In Queensland lived two poor boys named James and Jimmy. James and Jimmy were tramps. Their parents died when they were little. The two poor boys were so skinny that they looked like sticks! It was a wet Friday afternoon when Jimmy found a beautiful apple tree.

“Finally Food” Jimmy shouted excitedly.

James ran towards Jimmy and they both gazed at the apple tree.

“Lets go” James cried as he ran towards the bridge that led him to the apple tree.

When James was halfway along the bridge, an ugly, fierce ogre jumped up in front of him.

“This is my bridge and who ever crosses my bridge will be part of my supper”, the ogre roared.

James was terrified. He bowed down to the ogre and cried “ Oh please Mr Ogre please, please, please let me pass, I’m just a little tramp”.

“No, unless you let me be your boss” the ogre shouted furiously.

Without thinking twice James shouted “Yes, be my boss”.

The ogre game a huge grin and let James pass. After gathering all the beautiful apples he gave some to his brother, Jimmy. The apples were delicious. They were sweet.

Years later the ogre started to be nice to them. He gave them delicious food and fashionable clothes. James and Jimmy were so happy, they were never sad again.
