In France...

In 1932, France, a blue king and a green king were sharpening their swords. The Knights were aiming the catapults. The green king’s catapult broke half of the bridge. The trees were growing out of the bridge. The blue king froze the trees and the sun scorched and scorched the ice melted and so did the blue king. The green king won by a mile! He relaxed. But the bridge was still broken. Because the blue king was melted so did the kingdom that the blue king lived in. so did his Knights. The green king eventually died in 2000.

100 WC The Half Bridge

Avignon, a curious place, even more curious considering there is a bridge there, a bridge where you can't get to the other side!!!! Only 1 half is standing the other fell down years ago for reasons unknown. Apparently it killed a lot of people. Why did it fall down? Some people say a troll flattened it, others say a wizard made it vanish. Are the stories true? Some people also say it was bombed, some say it was burned down by a fire. Whatever destroyed it why do they keep the other part? Why do they have a song about it? Perhaps the song will tell us?

100WC The Bridge

Once upon a time there were two dragon queens who wanted to take over the half bridge called Avignon. They had sharp terrifying claws and horrible teeth. When the army come they killed the queens but the queens didn't die. When the strongest knight came he had shiny glowing armour with silver new gloves. With his strong muscles he could save the town and be a hero. So he got his spiky gold sword and killed the queens because they weren't peaceful queens they were silly old witches. And that town lived happily ever after.

100 WC The Blue King and the Green King

In 1932 a blue king and an green king kingdoms were 1 mile apart. They both had the same sized kingdoms. The green and blue kings were sitting on their thrones. The blue kings throne was made out of blue and white gems. In 1 day the 2 kings decided to find out who was the strongest out of the two of them. So they met up in France and prepared for war. The blue king froze the green king and then slammed the bridge in half with a big tidal wave and that was how the bridge split in half.

100 Word Challenge - Very Late for school!


One Monday morning Mrs Armitage woke up at 9.00. Mr Armitage woke up and yelled at Mrs Armitage and said "It's 9.00". "Slithering snakes!" Mrs Armitage said. She jumped in her clothes and drove to Manurewa Central School. "Oh no! I've got a flat tyre. Now I'm going to be even later," she thought. Mr Armitage fixed it in 5 hours.

Mrs Armitage jumped in the car. “Oh no!” Mrs Armitage said. “I’ve got no petrol, now I’m going to be more late!” she yelled at herself. Eventually she arrived with more petrol. “Finally we can make a start!”

100 word challenge - SPCA

Lily woke up early one morning to the sound of chirping birds. She dragged herself out of bed and went downstairs. Downstairs her mum had some delicious, warm porridge waiting for her.
She got dressed and jumped into the car. She was volunteering at the SPCA with her best friend, Molly. On the way they picked Molly up. When they arrived they were told to deliver fresh food and water to the animals.
Finally, Lily thought, finally we can make a start on grooming. It was fun. From then on they helped at SPCA every Saturday.
