The Annual Conference. By Samuel K

Ercury



    "All right, all right!" Called Sun. "Order in my system!".  "Chill out dude." Said Mercury, speeding around the room. "Your as uptight as a fur less cat with no milk!"  "Oi" called Mars to Jupiter, "keep your kids under control,their animals!" 
    
     " Yap Yap! " barked Pluto above all the ruckus. The brothers Neptune and Uranus were arguing, again. "Yo, Uranus what are you doing, you JERK?!" Screamed Neptune to Uranus , who was gently patting Pluto. "Me?, What about you, you stupid scaly serpent?! I was just patting Pluto!" Yelled Uranus   Pointing to his brother, who was trying to pester Mercury for being too fast.

    Saturn and Venus were having a conversation about moons, while Earth was playing with Jupiter's kids, in order from oldest to youngest, Io, Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto and eating mouth-watering melting marshmallows when suddenly Earth realised something. "Shoot!, I'm late for school!" As the young planet silently stepped for the bag in the corner. "Bye!" ZOOM----, and Earth was gone. "Sigh..., meeting agurned." Said Sun.

The screen that turned in to a jungle by Brooke

One day all these people ran as fast as cheetahs to the cold pool. " let's all jump in!" They yelled and had a turn on the diving board. This guy went splash and sunk slowly in to the pool and all of a sudden the pool turned in to a jungle and he was nearly to the bottom and he landed in a pond of mud. It was as sticky as melted marsmellow he was calling for help and nobody came he was stuck there for ever and ever the end

Narrative writing by Tayla

 A creaky house lived in a forest.Legend has it that it is haunted! Legend also has it that the house can talk! "That's right the house would say to no one in particular".the house was as high as the sky.crash! One of my windows just smashed bang! My door blew up.I think maybe someone is trying to get inside me.I turn on my lights they are as bright as the sun then I flicker my lights fast the person gets scared he slowly walks backwards then he runs then he hears laughter a lot of laughter its me,I'm laughing as loud as I can.
