Fabulous Award

The nominees are... A tense feeling ran down my spine as the four squares of animation showed on the huge screen. Millions of butterflies in my stomach fluttered around...

I thought our video was the best by far but I wasn't the judge, it wasn't up to me to decide. My fingers crossed. Who was going to be the best... The winner?

Bold letters bounced up on the monstrous screen. it spelt 'the winner' Barely on my seat the tension was outrageous. My butterflies became even more stronger.

Announcing the winner. My eyes shut tight. '' Around the world " By Jade, Madaline, Lexi and Kyah. I couldn't believe my eyes.  We had won. It was a dream of a lifetime that had came to reality.

I smiled the smile of joy as our group got awarded a trophy and a certificate. I felt like a winner... I was a winner.

An addictive treat.

Opening the lid of M&M's Many colours blinded me. A wet substance dribbled down my chin. Glancing at the desirable treat I just had to take one...

Slipping a single M&M into my mouth. I could soon taste the flavour of smooth, desirable and sweet chocolate. Then I took another one.

Popping the M&M into my mouth. The flavour of sugar and cocoa once again visited me. Once I had my fifth M&M I couldn't stop.

Grabbing a handful of mouth-watering minuscule objects. I chucked them into my mouth with one gulp. I looked in the container and there was only one left.

A blue M&M sat lonely. I popped it into my mouth. Smooth chocolate covered my teeth. I swallowed. All that was left was a mouthful of saliva.

My Bubblegum Speech

Bubblegum

Is bubblegum good or bad? 

You decide and I will help you.

When I say bubblegum you would 

think oh yum, delicious. That chewy

sticky goodness with desirable flavours.

When bubblegum was first released in 1928

everyone thought it was the evolution to lollies.

It's not. Bubblegum is a waste of money.

If your parents tell you not to eat bubblegum.

Don't! and you will soon understand why...

Do you know what makes bubblegum so chewy?

Plastic and rubber. I know disgusting right. 

They just add colour and flavour to so you can't tell.

Brands say that bubblegum cleans your teeth.

It doesn't. Their just lying to make more money.

Thats your money that you could save up for other things.

Bubblegum also contains a lot of sugar and is

seriously fattening too. So don't eat bubblegum.

Bubblegum is not healthy they are all lies.

When you have bubblegum all 

you are doing is producing saliva 

that isn't needed.

Please don't eat bubblegum. Trust me you 

will have a better life and less dental visits.

Beautiful Colours

Beautiful Colours

Elegant colours emerged from the sky then brief flashes of orange and red disappeared as the sun came up to greet us.

Soon clouds were hovering above me. Puffy and huge. A sudden burst of sunshine struck. The day had arrived...

The wind howled and blew. A chilly breeze stung my eyes while freezing my ears. I was as cold as ice.

Suddenly the wind got warmer and the sun grew bigger. A pale blue colour lit up the beautiful sky above...

The sun begun to set as lovely colours of pink and blue awakened.

No clouds were to be seen.

Stars started to appear. Then I was left with a sky of midnight blue.
