The prompt: ‘But where do dit go?’ She shouted.

That night the clock struck 12 as the mysterious black hooded figure swept through the room, silent and sly like a fox. Swoosh went the shadow dancing across the floor. Under every bed and desktop, through every cabinet and drawer until there was only one room left. The master’s bedroom. The sleeping master was tossing and turning and when she turned to face the figure the precious diamond ring slipped off her finger. And like that, he was gone. The screams bellowed through the night: “But where did it go?” She shouted “And who took it?” And until this day the question remains.

“As I accepted the role of the CEO I knew it would be tough but the weight being put on my shoulders was heavier than I expected. Being the first female CEO of this brand is making me feel like I have to do it right, perfect even. That I have to show women that it isn’t hard to become one unless you try. But I can’t deal with the pressure any more.”

I cried as I sat there at my mothers grave. She would tell me I could do it, that nothing is impossible! But ever since she left, nothing is possible.

This week for 100 word challenge about these words: bicycle desperate yellow warned greedily. This week was a hard one because we had to do it about our exhibition topic. My topic is gender inequality so fitting those words into a story about that is really hard.

‘I want a job.’ I looked at my father right in the eye while I was wearing his favourite yellow dress of mine told him what I wanted.
‘You won’t get it honey, you’re acting a bit greedily,’ my father warned me. I was used to that answer, like it was a wheel on a bicycle. I was desperate for a job.
Why? Why am I trapped inside these walls? I saw men with briefcases and hospitals filled with male doctors. My body filled with anger. I want to change who I am to live freely and be myself. Why aren’t we all equal?

The men just stood there still, lifeless, over 100 years ago they were real. Always bickering, always fighting. William and Thomas, brothers for life and frozen together. Both holding the scroll of power that made them who they are. In the 1920’s William and Thomas were both sons of the queen. William was older so he was going to be king and Thomas was not. Thomas was a jealous person and was always annoyed that he wasn’t going to be king. Thomas found the scroll of power and made the next person who touched it frozen. He handed it to William and now they are frozen together forever.

Last week was book week and the theme was Reading is my super power. In writers writers workshop we made a comic about our character and what their secret power is. Drawing Mary Poppins and the doll was difficult and the way i had to word it was definitely time consuming but it was worth it because I am proud of my work.

This video teaches you about how to put your adjectives in the right order. We learnt about it on Monday and then we decided to make a video about the order. I hope you enjoy it!

We had to create a 6-word story which is a story with only 6 words and it has to have emotion to it. After we finished it, we had to find a picture that matches it on splash face and add it to the story on pic collage. This is mine, I hope you like it!
