Write like a year 6 (part 2)
It is a dark and stormy night, shadows cover the 2 story house in darkness. Lightning strikes and suddenly quiets down. Only being broken by the voices of the dead houses owners. I look closely and the curtains, suddenly they open up but looking inside I see darkness and as the lighting strikes it opens up a pathway of light throughout the house, all you are able to see is bright red blood dripping down the wall, It's still wet. I start to question if it's haunted or not.
Blood drips down the walls of the grey ruined house. As I get closer to the house more blood appears and I start to see faces. After their faces appear I start to see that the other half of their bodies are gone! Ghosts appear and the lightning starts getting louder and louder. I start to think they don't want me near their house so I back away slowly but as I get further and further away fog rises off the ground mysteriously. I start to sprint past the house but it seems when I run I go past the house again and again! So I stop running and I end up in front of the house again I freak out I'm so scared. What should I do!?

Write like a year 6 (part 1)
Kids peered over the bushes and they see a house entirely made out of candy, chocolate and sweets. The kids are wearing blue cloth and are wearing a bright blue hats on their heads.The kids are dying to eat the house, but are hesitating too, because they are scared that whoever lives in the house will get furious about not having a roof over his or her head.
It's a lovely day, and not a speck of rain fell and not a sound of wind blew. the sun shines brightly and the delicious chocolate melts, and as it drips down the house the children get closer and closer to the house. They look around and they see that the roof is smothered in whipped cream and topped of with humongous bright red cherries.The walls are lightly covered with chocolate and dollops of pink marshmallows are on either side of the green sticky door. The house is surrounded by white and red candy canes.The window matches the door as they both have blue frosting around the edges.
They realize no one lives in the house so they eat it. They have to run back to there house. They run as fast as they could, only because as they ate the roof a old lady in such a deep sleep snore so loud, and they wanted to laugh but in doing so they woke her up so instead they ran! They made it home in time and they agreed to never go back there again. _________________________________________________________________

Write like a year 6 (part 3)
One day I was walking down the beach and I saw a castle sitting deep in the water. The castle had a old faded tan color. The castle made a sound and I thought it was about to fall on me, but instead it opened a pathway into the castle. I walked in not aware of how old it was. I stepped out for a moment to admire the ancient look of the castle.
As i looked closely I saw the windows that looked like it was carved into the castle, I don't think you could see through them. I looked inside noticing it was a 3 story castle. I walked up to the second floor and I saw the bedrooms and looking down across the hall, I saw the stairs leading to the top of the castle. I got to the top and I felt the breeze creeping inside through the top of the castle roof, so I walked further up and I noticed I could stand on the roof. It felt so cool standing on the flat roof. But just then I had to go home so I walked home and told my mum about it all. She was so surprised so she looked at the castle and took a sample.She then took it back home and she noticed something weird. But she didn’t tell me. I was to scared to look so I just walked away. Then she called me back and I was shaking!

Fake recount about a hot dog eating contest
Walt: Create fake recount
Sometimes my mum makes me do some weird things. One time she even made me compete against my family in a hot dog eating competition. When she asked me I said yes but I didn't know what I was in for. I thought this was more for someone much bigger than me like my older brother because he can eat a lot.
Yesterday my mum asked me if I wanted to do something exciting. She said “would you want to have a hot dog eating competition”. I replied “YES PLEASE!!” I was so amazed because it's not normal for her just to ask something like that. I knew it was going to be fun! I thought she meant to go out a place and have a hot dog eating competition but I was wrong. We got to do something even better. I got to do it at home! We had 5 rounds to do, and whoever passes all of them would win. The winner could pick whoever had to do their chores for the whole week.
The first round I had to compete against was my little sister’s. I was so happy because I knew I would win. I ate four and a half and my little sisters could only eat 2 each which meant they only ate four and that meant I had won. I wasn’t that excited because I knew I would beat them anyway. I only knew that because they never eat much.
The next round was a bit harder because I had to compete against my older sister. My sister ate five which was hard because I already ate 4 and a half but for some reason I ate five and I was so full. But then I saw the other half of the hot dog. It was from the round before so I decided to eat it. Which meant I won! I was so happy I beat her but I was also so scared to do the next round as it was against my older brother.
It was so hard because I already ate ten hot dogs and that meant I couldn't eat as many. It also meant I couldn't eat any more. That meant I lost the third round! It was against my brother. He eats more than all his siblings sometimes he can eat more than my dad so I would have lost anyway. I was fine with losing but then it was up to my brother to win against my mum and my dad or it could be the other way around.
I stayed to watch and it turned out my brother beat both my dad and my mum I was shocked but I knew he was going to win anyway. I was just hoping he didn't choose me to do his chores and he didn't he choose my older sister! I was so happy but I felt sad for her because she had lots of chores to do so I decided to do some of her chores and once I thought it was enough just for her to handle. I let her do the rest.
In the end we all had a great time being able to have so much fun with hot dogs! I hope I would get another opportunity like this. It was so fun but it made me feel unwell. I said hesitatingly “Will we do this all the time?” My mum realized I wasn’t feeling well so she replied “ No not all the time but maybe every now and then”.
40 hour famine
On Friday June the 7 me and some of my friends particapated in the 40 hour famine! It is so cool and while you have fun you are also helping people that need things
We had the 40 hour famine at school. First we go home then around 6:30 we go back to school and then we drop all our stuff in the library because the library is the place where we had to sleep and a teacher kept an eye on us so we wouldn't eat any food. We could only eat barely sugars and we could only drink just juice. It was such. fun experience even though i did it last year. Im even more excited this year because I'm a year 6 and its funner because you are able to be a leader for your team. It didn't happen but I was still very excited!! I was so happy that I was in a team with all me friends and I even got to sleep next to them and that was even better. I had lots of fun eating the same thing for breakfast and dinner. I still had fan because my friends were so fun to play with. It was hard to talk without them making me laugh every five seconds. 40 hour famine is helping kids in need of food, water, shelter, schools and even foster parents.
We had lots of fun doing activities, performing and even watching movies. The first thing we did was we played in the hall it helped us kill time and it was lots of fun too. Once everyone arrived we had time to prepare our performance. We had 45 minutes to do so! We could either dance, sing, tell jokes, or we could choose whatever else. After our 45 minutes were up we performed on stage one group sang and the rest danced!! we had spare time to either play in the hall, sit and chat in the library or play in the creative space, We did that for about 20 minutes and then we could stay in the library or watch the movie. I choose to stay in the library but my friend made way to much noise so we had to watch the movie. After that we went straight to sleep! In the morning we had to pack up our stuff and play in the hall until our parents picked us up. My sister and I went home first but it was still fun.
I hope you get an opportunity as cool as this some day because it might be the best moment with your friends. Overall it was a pretty amazing experience. I hope you will join in next year!!!

Treasure chest
One day I was sailing on a boat. I learnt how to steer and how to catch the wind to make the boat go faster, but what I didn’t know was how to stop it from going out to far into the sea. I ended up sailing out way to far into the sea. I was so scared but then I saw a little island. It was very dry and it looked like a desert island. I had to stay there because I had nowhere else to go. So I went there. Sadly there was no food, no water and no rescue either. I got to the island and sat there for a bit. Then I decided to have a look around. Because I decided to look around, I found a treasure map. I was so happy but mostly surprised because I have never seen anything like it. It had so much detail on it. I was confused because I didn't understand pirate language but I found a way to understand it.
It took me to a strange place. I looked around and found a strange looking spot on the dry sand. I started to dig in that unusual looking spot. I dug for a bit but then I hit something hard. I tipped the sand out of the hole and I found a treasure chest. I looked at it then I tried to open it but there was a lock. I looked on the outside and I saw a clue. It was about the lock and how to open it. I ended up under a tree. I dug for a while and saw something shiny. I washed all the dirt off of it and it turned out to be a key. I Tried to unlock it and it wouldn’t work. I tried all the other keys but one. None of them worked but then I tried the last one and I finally opened it.
Inside was a whole lot of coins. There was diamonds too. I was so happy and I had no idea what I was going to do with all of it. I saw paper and it said that all of that was worth $25,000. I looked at the date and it said 1985. I realized that it was worth so much more now. It was worth millions more. I was so happy so I decided to send a note in the bottle asking for some help and in doing so I received help.
I got home and told my family about it. They were so happy and said I could keep it all. I was so happy and decided to save some to give it to my parents. In doing so they had enough money to buy us a mansion.
I had a room so big that it looked like a mini house. I could fit lots of stuff in there and all my siblings had the same sized room. My parents got the biggest room. We all had our own closets. We also all had kings beds. I bought all my stuff with the money I had left over. I bought a hammock, a swing chair, couch, a smart TV and much more. I bought some new clothes, shoes, a new phone, laptop and iPad. I also got air pods which were very expensive. I still had lots of money left over so I decided to ask what pet my siblings would want. My older sister asked for a guinea pig so I bought her a guinea pig. Then I asked my brother and he said a kitten I also bought him that. My mum and dad wanted a bunny so I bought it. Last but not least I wanted a puppy and I got it. My baby sisters just played with our pets because they can’t look after a pet by themselves yet. I had $1 million left over so I bought all of our pets food beds and toys to play with. I ended up buying a Jacuzzi because I still had money left over. I had $8000 left so I bought some picture frames and a lamp for me. I bought a desk to put it on and I bought a chair with wheels so I can sit on my desk. I only had $1000 left so I bought some food and gave it to some homeless people. I had 50 dollars left and I decided to use it on our dinner so I bought us dinner.
That was the best day of my life. My family and our pets were happy to. Even My baby sisters were happy and there not always happy. I was glad to see how happy my family were but most of all I got to spend even more time with them. I hope you enjoyed this story!
