That’s disgusting son, why would you eat that? I’m going to go hunting” Daddy Crocodile said then he stepped on soft ??? then he kick it away. He went to town find some delicious children to eat. Suddenly he remembered, “I forgot the pepper! But who really cares?” Daddy Crocodile saw two children that were playing with a ball. When he went up to them one of them started screaming “AHHHHH! It’s a crocodile!” Then a giant hippo came and saved the day. BY THOMAS J

The orange pepper

The crowds cheered for semi-final 100m sprint winner, Erik or as they call him the “Soft Crocodile”. The prize was a bag full of orange pepper or a handful of cash, $1,000,000. Erik wanted the prize so badly. Next up was the finals and he was ready to run. BANG!! The gun went and he felt like a millionaire. Oops, he forgot his drink! Never mind, he kept going. He came here to race the fastest runner Usain Bolt. Usain was running first and Erik was running second, BOOF! The rope broke, Usain won and Erik cried.

Kalliopi’s 100 Word Challenge

On a sunny day, Kim went outside to play her favourite sport. Her favourite sport was playing soft ball outside. She and her friends heard a sound in the forest so they went they went through the forest and saw an orange house.  They went in.   The house was very dark and spooky so they opened the light. And saw a girl. They were terrified and in the little girl’s hand was a teddy bear crocodile. When we went home, she told me that her teddy’s name was Forgot and her name was Pepper. Now she is my sister.

Nicos’ 100 Word Challenge

There was a boy named Chris. He was only 8 years old. He couldn’t wait until tomorrow because it is was his birthday. He really wanted a new toy which shoots soft Styrofoam bullets. In the morning he couldn’t wait for his present and was disappinted when instead, he got a plush orange, crocodile toy and pepper for his birthday. When he got to school, his friends had forgotten about his birthday so they gave him books. He didn’t like them and threw them away. The next day his mum and dad bought him what he especially wanted.

The ‘100 Word Challenge’ is a weekly creative writing challenge for children under 16 years of age. Each week a prompt is given, which can be a picture or a series of individual words and the children can use up to 100 words to write a creative piece. This should be posted on a class blog and then linked to the 100 Word Challenge blog. The link is usually open from midday on Sundays until midnight the following Saturday.

There is now a permanent link under the ‘Essential Services’ heading. This will give your the current week’s prompt and instructions of how to enter. Miss W will be going through this process with you. You will need to post your entries to the CLASS BLOG first – selecting ‘100 Word Challenge’ as the category.

Check out the link below or in the ‘Essential Services’ section.
