Huge Tarantula Arrives In The Mail

A man in Bristol, England, received an interesting package in the mail after moving into his new home – a huge spider!
The Brazilian Salmon Pink Birdeater, one of the world’s largest spiders, arrived at the house in a box marked ‘Return to Sender.’ They are known to be aggressive with 2.5cm fangs and can shoot toxic barbed hairs from their bodies which can cause blindness.
The spider was supposed to be returning to the previous owner of the house and the parcel had been travelling within the postal system for about 3 weeks without being opened.
The spider was taken to a vet who says it was ‘very unwell’ and ‘showing signs of dehydration.’ The mould from the bedding inside the box had caused a lot of the hair on the spider’s stomach to fall out and the vet was surprised that it even survived.

Worlds Longest Baguette

The Guinness World Record for the longest baguette has been set in Milan, Italy.
The 122 metre long baguette was baked at the Milan Expo 2015 World’s Fair. More than 60 French and Italian bakers worked 7 hours to break the record.
The bakers fed the bread through a portable oven by moving the heat along the length of the baguette. It took about an hour to bake 20 metres of the bread and bakers were force outside to hold the dough straight and avoid breakage as each section was baked.
This is at least the 4th world record set at the Expo this year, including a pizza that is 1.5954km long! The Expo runs for 6 months and is due to end on October 31st

secret writing

I get picked up by my handle and i go throw long strings and then get sucked in the middle some of the strings fall onto my face and then

i choke on them, then i fall onto the ground

hide and seek

          hide and seek

The wind whispers to you in
the light,
With you standing still,
The bushes and trees breathe to you,
But there still not there,
They yell to you like a screaming cat running throw the night.
But you didnt answer back.

the exploding planet

Jessica S

my plan
setting: on an exploding planet.
characters: aliens, me, gray, sponge-bob.
problem: planet exploding.
solution: help them stop from stopping the planet exploding.

WALT 1: introduce the characters and setting well my story introduces a problem which is resolved in some way.

WALT 2:  write a few grammatically correct sentences.                                                                                                              

paragraph 1 - hopping into the space rocket

“Well lets just get into the space rocket now” said gray, so gray, sponge-bob and me went into the space rocket. we sat on the seats, the space rocket started “(AHHHHH!)” sponge-bob was screaming so loud he blocked my ear drums, and we are all happy because…

paragraph 2 - landed on the planet
“Where at the planet!!”
Put then gray said “is this the right planet?”
“Yer the commander said go to a exposed planet, and were at the planet.”
We hopped out of the rocket ship, there was laver spitting everywhere sponge-bob asked “why are they singing and not doing anything”. So i asked them “why are singing and not doing anything?” The little tiny alien said “because our planet is exploding everywhere and we cant do anything.”

paragraph 3 - sorting out the problem

Gary came and said “well we can help you from your planet exploding everywhere,” the leader came in and said “how are you going to help us” “well” said sponge-bob i can use my sponge body and sit in the laver from going everywhere great idea sponge-bob. so sponge-bob did that and he stopped the laver, then gray said to everyone hopped into the rocket ship and stay there until we're finished all the aliens said OK and they hopped into the rocket ship.

paragraph 4 - fixing the problem

sponge-bob was still sitting on the laver singing (because the song that the aliens were singing got stuck into his head) me and gray got our tools and made concrete and put it on top of the laver we finished  doing that and made some buildings for them to live in.

paragraph 5 - finished planet

me and sponge-bob got all the aliens and said “ come out and see your planet” so all the aliens came out and saw there planet and said thank you very much and then me sponge-bob and gray went back into the rocket ship went back to earth.                                   

                                 THE END!!!!!!

green poem

Green is the feel of the sparky up grass.
Image result for colour greenGreen is the sound of a big green tick.
Green is the taste of kiwi fruit dripping down my chin.
Green is the sound of the leafs waving in the wind.
Green is the lime taste of a ice block.
Green is the smell of nail ploshie on a girly girl night.
Green is the feel of goo getting stuck between your twos.
