Lucky dip writing

At school a few weeks ago, we had to complete a writing activity

in which we had four slits of paper.

On one of them, we had to write

a place, for example, 'shack.'

On another, we were to write a

time/day, for example, 'Saturday.'

On the last two, we had to write

two characters, for example, 'Tweety' and 'Black Ninja.'

And then we had to put them in one of the correct three boxes,

labeled: Names, places and Time/day.

We had to wait untill everyone had finished doing this, before we all got four slits out of the boxes, one place, one time/day, and two people.

I picked Black Ninja, Tweety, Saturday and shack.

I decided I wanted to turn it into a slightly tweaked version of 'T'was the night before christmas.'

Ok, a hugeley twisted version...

We had about 3/4 hour to do it in.

But anyway, enjoy my latest piece of writing!

It was the day before Saturday and all through Lakeety,

Not a black Ninja was stirring, not even Sir Tweety.

Their suitcases were packed, all set by the door,

in hopes they would awake at quarter to four.

Black Ninja, you see, was packed for the shack,

all he needed to do was pack a quick snack.

Sir Tweety, it seemed was still snooring away,

silenty listening to all the sounds in the bay.

They were finally ready by half past six

When clumsy Sir Tweety tripped over some sticks.

Then he jumped back up and said with a grin

"lucky I didn't knock over the bin"!

They jumped in the car, prepared for a drive

The shack would not be in sight 'til q quarter past five.

Sir Tweety just groaned as they drove down the road,

and poor black Ninja was in silent mode.

Trouble occurred at South-East Milldank,

when black Ninja drove them off the side of a bank!

Rumbling and tumbling down through the trees,

when they fell out and landed hard on their knees.

"How are we going to get back up there"?

If we stay here, oh,how I fear of a bear"!

But as Tweety kept rampling like an old man,

Black Ninja was simply forming a plan.

His hands spoke to Tweety with the least of a fear,

Hold it, they said, I have just the idea.

Our holidays can still be saved if we try,

there's no need to yell, there's no need to cry!

Just unload the car and do as I say,

we can have fun the old fashioned way.

So they camped out that night, slept under the stars,

As it turns out they had ventured afar,

Their shack, it seems, was just 'round the corner,

But that's how it goes in West California!

W.I.N.T.E.R

Who knows what the time is

when it's time to snuggle up

Who knows what the time is

when you have hot chocolate in a cup.

When delicate crystals fall from the sky

and make the backyard white

When it's time to say goodbye

to warmth, say hello to the beautiful sight.

Of big and fluffy snowmen

Igloos and warm clothes.

Of huge gi-normous ice-men

And frozen rivers with boats.

Can you guess what time I hinder?

Yes, that's right...it's chilly winter.

Summer, Summer

Summer, Summer

Always funner;

Summer, Summer

I love Summer!

Warm and sunny

Noses not runny;

Fans and dresses

All those messes;

Beaches, cold drinks

Who cares what winter thinks!

Warm & fuzzy

Summer, Summer!

Ladies prison

One of our projects at school last term was to create a diorama of a new style of prison.

We had to create a title based on what our prison system offered and think of ways to reform

them and then make the diorama.

I wanted to create a prison for women only and it is based on using positive influence.

Some of the things I listed were; bright colours, a pet for companionship and responsibility, a bookshelf with titles that are appropriate to help the prisoners find the good inside themselves, learning a new trade and skills so when they leave they can go and work some place and be able to start a new life and think positively about life and themselves.
