The Soccer Game of Death by: BillyBobJoe
ReplyDeleteIt was a cold September day. An innocent group of 6th graders were trying to play soccer and being supervised by Mr. Noodles, the strongest, most heroic gym teacher ever. When he was busy checking his email, he heard the most unhuman like scream ever. He glanced up from his smart phone and saw a horrifying sight. The soccer ball had transformed into a monster fiercer than a polerbear with a shotgun.
It had wicked curved teeth stained with blood. Ever where he looked he saw death and blood. Mr. Noodles knew he had to act quick. He pounced on the ball like a cat on a mouse. SNAP his hand is bitten clean off. He ignored the pain and beat that ball so bad it flew to Alaska. There the vicious monster was attacked by polerbears with pistols and was never seen again.

My 6th Grade Invention
ReplyDeleteBy: ilovejb23
Uh! Is my locker jammed again? Well, I know what to do! I’ll have my robot school maid open it for me! My maid’s name would be Brenda. But yours could be any name you like! You get to choose what she looks like too! Brenda would have brown hair, blue eyes, and a pink polka dot dress! Your robot would be programmed to do anything involving school! Even making me a feast for breakfast before school if I take her home! Brenda would even be programmed to do well in gym! So in math when Mr. Dingo is helping other students with homework, I can push my robot for Brenda to come and help! She would come out of her stall and come help! All of the robots would be stored in janitor closets! They would each have a stall. In the stall would simply be a bed and an extra change of clothes! Also, if you lost something your robot would hunt it down for you! All of the robots have a built in GPS for your stuff! So, don’t you think this would be helpful for student? Well, let’s get some car washes started and let’s get some money to make these robots!

Round Robin By: C.O.D pro
ReplyDeleteIf they weren’t in such a hurry, they wouldn’t have taken the shortcut through the cemetery. Todd and Tim were running away from their brother Tommy in the middle of the night. “Let’s go through the cemetery and hide Tommy will get so scared,” said Todd. As they ran through the cemetery, they jumped over the back fence and they were at the cemetery again. So the jumped over it again and they were at the start of the cemetery. They ran back out of the cemetery but all they could see was a cliff. So they jumped but they landed on a ledge they were still in the cemetery. The next thing they know a hand is reaching for their legs and they kick it but it’s holding so tight that they fall and it pulls them underground. They were never seen again.
Tommy went searching “stop hiding in the cemetery jokes over. I know you’re there,” he yelled but no answer. He went searching. Tommy was very scared. He thought what happened to my brothers, where could they be? Whoosh! Tommy was sucked underground. Where am I? He thought. He saw his brother cowering in fear in a corner. Then he saw an army of ghosts and monsters.
They run away but still not fast enough, they duck and hide from the monsters. As they see the biggest monster in history. Its huge about 200 ft. tall and 100 ft. wide. It co7uld gobble anyone up any day and that’s exactly what he was going to do. “I’m too young to die! “Said Tommy. They got ate and were never seen again.
Nothing Ever Happens at P6GC:
ReplyDeleteThe Library
By: Butterfinger!
You probably think that nothing ever happens at P6GC, but you are wrong. Everyone thinks that we have boring classes, the teachers talk slow and the kids are weird. When you walk in, all of the kids are screaming and throwing pencil all over the place. That’s just the beginning. Legend tells it that there are monstrous books in the library. There was only one kid that made it out alive. No one dares to go in or even get close.
One day, a new kid moved into town named Henry. He didn’t know anything about the books because no one wanted to bring it up. He went to the library to find a good book to read. I always thought he was weird. He was tall, skinny and had a huge afro. He walked into the old dusty room and all of the lights were off but one light flickering like a candle. The next thing I know, he gets pulled in like he stepped in a huge pile of quick sand. I waited outside, hiding behind a cluster of lockers to see if he would get out of there or not. Ten minutes went by, then twenty.
The door quickly opened and I saw a glimpse of a slimy, green creature. It was huge!!! Henry was limping out of the room with his clothes all ripped up. He looked like he was attacked by a hungry pack of wolves. Henry was a mess. I went over to ask him if he was okay but he just kept on wobbling past me like I wasn’t even there. I assumed he was all right. From then on, he didn’t say a word to any one unless he had to. But everyone knows books can’t come alive…….Right?
Schedule Robot

If it’s a dark day it only needs charging while you sleep! That’s my new 6th grade invention.
6th grade invention
ReplyDeleteI look in my desk and see a complete mess. ARGH! Suddenly I remembered about my Cleaner3000 I got last week. I dig through my desk until I see a sleek, shiny, black box. I start to set it up and push “Start” Many arms popped out, twisting and turning. A blast of light comes and when I looked inside my desk, it was completely clean! But, oh no! Now it’s so clean, I can’t find anything! I open up the sleek box and a keyboard pops out. I type in “Green math folder and notebook”. An arm shot out and instantly, my math supplies were in front of me. The top of my desk is full and I type in “Top desk needs cleaning” a sudden vortex came and sucked it inside my desk. I love this!
It was the strangest thing I ever heard. And it was the last thing my uncle said before he died. My uncle and I were in a dark, dirty alley behind McDonalds. My fists were bloody and sore but I was ready for another fight but my legs were also sore. Then I heard screaming from the kitchen and the cook ran out the back screaming like a girl. Then my uncle said RUN! While you still can! Then we heard another shriek. Then I ran out of the alley while I heard a body being stabbed in the kitchen then my uncle said EAT THIS and U heard a horrible, disgusting, terrifying, torturing Fart? It was so strong it made the garbage cans fall over. I ran still hearing foot steps behind me then I heard a something made out of metal hit ground, it was the killer’s knife dropping. I knew to keep running even though the foot stops stopped. I wondered who is trying to kill me and why? Was it because he knew that I knew that I saw him kill my uncle? I took a sharp turn into a market where I could find Pablo the meat man’s store. Knives hanging on racks outside for the washers to clean, as I ran I pulled a knife off the rack I heard flesh bulge. I stifled a scream in my throat. It had been too dark to see, I wasn’t at Pablo’s meat store, and I had run into the cemetery, a man with a knife stuck in is rib stared at me with vacant eye. I whirled, horrified, a shadow fled into the alley. Who was following me I was so scared I thought about humping in a grave so that’s exactly what I did there was a skeleton when I saw a soul of a ghost right next to me I had it I got up and I ran and ran until I was back to McDonalds where I saw my uncle stabbed there in the heart I sat down so I wouldn’t puke I could not believe my uncle was gone. But just then a tornado struck McDonalds and had turned the whole world into a zombie infected world so I was being leaded back a cliff and I fell down into the ocean I swam until I saw an island that was infected with man eating plans and there was this big red plant with white spots and no eyes, and I said hello there but just then it shot a fireball at me and hit me and for some reason I said mama mia!And then I saw u lose but before the fireball hit me the next time I went down this green tube under water? And then I saw a turtle on a cloud was waiting for me and I jumped on the turtle and took its cloud to fly to the flag and I reached the top and I slid won and started dancing!
ReplyDeleteNothing Ever Happens At P6GC
ReplyDeleteCIRCUIT SNAKES!
One day at P6GC in the boring class of PLTW, Jim was putting circuits together to make electricity travel to different things. One student had the idea of putting all of the circuits together and to hook them to a computer. There were so many circuits that anybody could hardly move. When they hooked up the last circuit to the computer, the lights flickered, the computers flashed, and then everything went black. When Mrs. Fury found a flashlight to see what the heck happened, the electrical cords turned into radioactive snakes and all the circuits disappeared! Mrs. Fury dropped the flashlight before any of the class could see what happened. When the lights came back on the class could see the snakes. The snakes looked like sour gummy worms with glowing yellow eyes! The class screamed at the top of their lungs and started an avalanche of chocolate! The chocolate rushed so fast that the class (and the snakes) got swept off their feet into the gym.
In the gym all the chocolate spread out so it was like a chocolate swimming pool! All the kids were so excited but Mrs. Fury knew better. She told everyone to get into the hallway. The class was disappointed but did what she said. Mrs. Fury told the class that the radioactive snakes turned into poisonous electric eels that will kill you in an instant! The class screamed and ran back into the PLTW classroom and locked the door. When the gym class came back inside the chocolate and the eels rushed out the door. Everyone ran away from the door. When the chocolate was done draining out of the gym, Jim came running into the gym and tripped on a snake. He got zapped and heard a buzzing noise. It just kept buzzing, and buzzing, and buzzing. JustThen……. Jim’s alarm clock woke him up from this amazing dream.
If I could do anything for one day and not get hurt 1, I would so go sky diving, 2 go jump in a pool of lava, 3 hold dry ice, 4 swim with sharks, 5 jump off a cliff, 6 ride on a hot air balloon, 7 ride a bear, 8 attack a penguin, 9 jump on a puffer fish, 10 lastly I would want to parasail!
ReplyDeleteIt was the strangest thing I ever heard and it was the last thing my Uncle said before he died. Well, I suppose he isn’t really my uncle.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Harp. “Most names should be questions. I mean, how do we know if our names fit us until we live a little?” I live in, well a horrible white cage. I’m small. I mean really small. Like, microscopic, but not quite. My “uncle” was a Mooner. The Mooners torture us. They call themselves vets. Like, wacko’s that starve us and then hang cheese just out of our reach are vets.
That’s what they were doing when my “uncle” died. The Mooners hadn’t fed me through my food tube for weeks. Even the mush they fed me was better than nothing. A piece of cheese was hanging just out of my reach. My “uncles” bulbous eyes looked through my white glass cage. He shouldn’t be here. “Leave me alone.” I snarled and threw myself against the glass. Out of my large blue eyes I saw a Mooner enter, a knife in his hand. My uncle flailed as the Mooner stabbed with the knife. He gasped and smashed my glass cage. “I love you Harp, he whispered. “Fly-“his eyes shut and he slumped. I leapt through the hole towards the fan. My hand scrabbled for a grip but they slipped. I was falling,falling,falling. Suddenly my wings unfurled- I had wings! - stopping my fall and catching the updraft. I swooped through the open window and into the starry sky, The wind ruffling my fur.
My best writing is when I had to answer, “If I could be immortal for one day what would I do?” To which I replied “I would wrestle with tigers, try to outswim sharks and lots of extreme sports! I would also stop armed robberies and learn to skydive out of airplanes. It would feel like I was some sort of super hero. That would be a super extraordinary experience. I would definitely feel adrenaline pumping through my veins.

I counted the number of times I had driven the rusty wagon to hopefully come back with a new pair of clothes. Though no one usually ever sold me anything, I didn’t blame them. If some stranger drove up to me in a flimsy machine wearing 21st century clothes, I would probably be wondering why they were even in Warlord. (Warlord as my family calls it: The Rich City) This time though before I left to “shop,” I stopped by the food factory and picked up some Finghre cans in hope to trade for some new clothes. I had been wearing the same clothes for the past week or two from grandpa, which were too, 800 years old. They were the 21st century clothes as grandpa used to call it. Grandpa used to call a lot of things. He called the nowadays silver hotsuit a “tinfoil frog suit” whatever a frog is. I wouldn’t ask him either. He would just stare hard at a statue of some alien creature with horn like things sticking out of his head. Grandpa insisted we keep it above the couch, muttering something about no animals in this world. (Never mind what animals are) After grandpa turned 800 and passed away we finally took the alien down and threw it out the door. Grandpa also said that back in his time no one turned 800. I don’t really believe him because everyone turns 800 around here! Grandpa said he was one of the first of our kind. I wonder what life was like back in his day with everyone dying at 90 years old. I never got to see grandma though. Sounds like she didn’t live to 800 like everyone else.
ReplyDeleteAs I neared the stores I glanced at my wrist clock. Thirty more minutes before mom and dad would be home and it would take me ten minutes to get back to Pawnland. (Or as the rich folk called it: The Poor City.) I cruised through Warlord carrying a bundle of Finghre cans on my back. I wore a top with sleeves cut off at the shoulders, and some kind of short, denim legwear. I had no shoes on, but I still walked the streets with pride in my strides. My golden locks whistled in the wind. I imagined myself walking through the streets with our matching electric green eyes.
By the time my fantasy was over I had reached the sales I was looking for. I walked up to the first lady, who waved me by without glancing. Rude I thought. I walked over to the next lady who did the same and repeated over.
After a whiles worth of bargaining I reached home with a pair of foot covers for me and mom. Sadly I couldn’t find anything for dad. I took my time walking up to the front doors. I was surprised when I found the doors unlocked- mom and dad home this early? Not a good sign. I stepped into the house and sure enough found them both sulking in the living room looking quite unhappy. I looked at my mom’s face and dropped the sack of Finghre cans on the floor I had never seen her in this condition. We usually looked about the same. The green eyes, the small nose, and the golden hair; but today, let’s just say that she was a mess. You could barely tell it was her! My dad on the other hand was sprawled across the floor. Something was terribly wrong.
