Fancy Fun Friday

On Friday 6th December, our class held a dress up day to raise money for the people in the Philippines who had a typhoon disaster. We had lots of interesting characters at school, such as, Bumble bee teachers, The hulk, John Cena, Harry Potter, Flower girls, and more. Some of the girls in room 4 also had a stall where they painted nails and sold handmade rings. Altogether we raised ... $121,  what a great effort Frankton School!!!

Dangle

We have been learning about visual language, and today we watched a short clip called  DANGLE.  We watched only a small piece of the clip, then we wrote the end to the story. Come and read our endings.


     One day a young man went walking in the wilderness. He came across a thick red rope, dangling from the sky. He wondered what it was and why it was there. He gingerly put out his hand and ...

The scary laugh from the zombie came as he pulled the cotton
rope . The zombies were laughing scarily at him.
by Tyrese


"ROAR" said the rope as the man pulled the rope hard. Then
he disappeared to the moon.
by Wirihana Isaac.

It is going to take him up in heaven and then he going to go through
hell. He is  going to die and go to hell. Watch out! he is going to get tortured by demons.
By Acacia.

I will see him pulling the rope then it will turn night and he will fly up into the air. "weeeeeeee" As he screamed in the air. BOOM! as he smashes into the tree of an island covered with mirrors. Ha ha. by Anuraag

It was a dark spooky night all you could hear was branches in the trees rustling. He could see a light red rope, he pulled it.It turned day "wow wee"he said. He pulled it again it was night. " I never doubted that rope!" he screamed. "Alright" he said, "I'll climb up the rope!"  It takes him 3 weeks, 3 days, and 5 hours but he made it. It's still really dark. He walks for 20 minutes and then... "Surrender!"  yells some knights. He battles them all and takes over their castle.
By Josh

As the man pulled on the rope the 7th time everything stopped. The only man moving was the person who pulled the rope.He said "......""aaaaaaaa".
By Edison

The man pulls the red  velvet rope  again and again. It goes light and dark then he breaks it. "Oh no!"  he cries and he runs away.
By Emily

I think he pulls the rope again and again then it goes light and dark. When it is dark again he climbs up the rope. When he gets to the top he finds a magic castle. Then he slides down a rainbow to a magic house and lives happily ever after.
By Camille

Once upon a time a man was walking through the freezing forest then, woosh! A long, huge, red rope shot down like a bullet. Then he pulled it, then bang! He saw the sky falling on him. "No! the world is ending!"
By Lilian

When the man pulled the humungously long string a farting sound came from the sky and the sky went from light to dark. Then he broke the string and it stayed on dark for ever and ever... FART!
By Xavier

Thump, thump, thump went the rope as the man went to pull the rope down. The rope broke off and fell straight to the ground. It made a small hill of red rope with a golden circle on the end.
by  Storm

Once upon a time there was a man that was walking in the woods and he saw a red rope dangling from the sky. He pulled and pulled and then ... plop! Standing there in front of him were a bunch of hilarious looking clowns wearing crazy clothes. One clown runs and jumps and lands flat on his back. Then another clown comes with a unicycle and rides over the other clown. After that he pulls on the rope and ...Plop!  MORE CLOWNS  COME! They start to chase him so he quickly runs home... Arrr  they  are  going to get me!
by Te Awhina

He pulled the rope and then it went dark. He couldn't see his own hand. He felt the rope slithering around his body like a snake, it went tight. He heard someone whispering "go away, go away".So he cut the rope and ran home.
by Jared

I think he pulls the plaited red rope and he goes up to an unusual planet called Planet Button. The planet has heaps of buttons covering it. Each button has a plastic label attached to it. He trips and stumbles all over the buttons and accidently pushes one that said emergency. Then a deep voice says... "blow up universe".
Boom!
By Jarne


The man pulls the string... its the end of the world!  nah, just kidding, its the end of the UNIVERSE!
by Ayla

As he walked freezingly  to the rope,   he yanked and ...
it  destroyed the earth.   He was flying in outer space into the sun. by  Adam.

The man called Will went up  the hill. When Will got up at the top he found a... huge red  rope heading up to space. He pulled and pulled  then the rope went up up up and  he found a magical  palace.  He walks into the palace. The King and Queen and the pretty princess wants to marry him. Then  he woke up  and saw he was in bed asleep. "It was just a dream, I wish it was real." By Natalia


When he pulls the red golden rope  he sees a tv flicking on and off . Then it becomes night time.
By Daimon.

One morning a man was walking through the snow and he saw a red rope.  He pulled it and a whole lot of snow came down and he was the cone.  dan dan daaaan.
By Edie

I can't believe it. A rope is dangling from the sky. So I touched  it and it wobbled.  So I climbed up.
BY Khalib


Hahaha As  he grabbed the woolly rope,  a bucket of water falls on him and saturates him. OH no something broke! The rope went down down and down but when he saw the plug he ran off in the dark and freezing night.
By Cameron.

chink chink ch-chink raining money is everywhere ! if I pull the rope,  it will stop raining.
By Rehan

It looks like a light switcher,  it says on and off.  It was dark,  I can't see a thing.

Quick Write Time

Today in class we have been doing quick write sessions, where we  only have 10 minutes to plan, prepare, and write about a topic.  Here are a few examples.

Kiwi Golf
I could hear the flags were flapping . I saw balls flying in the air like meteors. I can feel the golf club as I swing it in my hands. I wonder if we can do it again next time.
by Xavier

I heard people screaming and flags flapping. I saw people throwing balls, dropping balls and falling over. I felt the wind and the balls coming at me. I wonder if we can do that again.
by Jared

Boom! Boom!  went the thunder and lightning yesterday. I saw enormous flashes of yellow light
zig-zagging down. I felt big and small raindrops dripping down my back and freezing my toes. I wonder when will it go away?
By Camille

Yesterday we played kiwi golf outside. I saw people laughing on the field. Then the people whacked the ball far. I felt strong because I hit the ball half way down the field.
By Wirihana

Flap, flap, flap went the kiwi golf flags as they fluttered through the air. I saw the balls speed past me like a rocket ship. I felt a freeze go up me like a frozen ice cream. I wonder if we are going to do it again today?
By Natalia

Whoosh! Whoosh! as the wind blew through my hair. Pople fighting over the balls, OMG. "People find your own ball", I yelled. I told the kiwi golf person and he yelled "who cares, at least you've got three balls!" I wonder if anyone else would agree with me?
