I was just about to go to the zoo with my mum, hoping to see the giraffes. I thought that I should just play my piano. We squeezed into our tiny car and drove away. We then arrived at the zoo and I was jumping around with joy. We saw all the animals that were there. But then the moment I was waiting for, I was going to see the giraffes. Then when I saw them they looked green. I fed them some food to see if it would be better but then they exploded. A man screamed at me then I replied “Sorry.”
The Unlucky Piano
The man walked slowly into the tiny dark room with a strange green color on the walls. In the middle of the room sat a grand piano. The rather inquisitive man shuffle forwards to the piano. A red light started glowing, and a siren went off. The man had tripped a tripwire. Suddenly a missile crashed through the roof, and the piano exploded in a millisecond. The man flew backwards though the air- all he could say was ‘SORRY PIANO !’ As a splinter of wood from the piano was catapulted into the man’s chest he instantly died, and blood and guts were scattered across the room.
Our Exploding Teacher
It was a normal school day and I just got up. I had my breakfast and got on my clothes. I decided to have a go at my sisters piano. I took one touch and it turned green. Then I could hear the squeaky brakes of the school bus pulling up out beside my house. It was a tiny little pink bus. I ran out to catch it before it went. It took us half an hour before we reached the school gates. I went into my class where my teacher was waiting on me. I said sorry for being late. Then her head exploded.
A Tiny Green Elf
Once upon a time a tiny green elf was walking through the forest of candy cane. He was on his way home from picking berrys and small pianos on the other side of the forest,which is where you get the best berrys. When he got back in to the little tree hut he handed out all the berrys to all his family and friends. Oh sorry I forgot to tell you about the little green elf, his name is chimp he is the smallest elf known to elf country but he does most of the chores. Then suddenly they all exploded.
DO YOUR TEETH AND GET TO BED!
One day,when I was practicing on my keyboard, my mum came in to the room and announced ” That is very good son.” She’d always said that when I got good enough I could play on her piano. This was my chance, I asked “Could I play your piano?”
“No, maybe in a year or so.” she answered. I was so mad, she didn’t trust me but I had a plan.That afternoon I went in to her room and started playing, her room was green and tiny. Then the piano exploded . She rushed in “DO YOUR TEETH AND GET TO BED!” She roared “Sorry.” I said.
Exploding Teacher !
We were in class the teacher was shouting at us looking like she had exploded we all said sorry again and again but she would not listen to us. The person sitting beside me had a green snot hanging our her nose I did not tell her though it was disgusting. The man who teaches piano came in and said “Can I have Sally for piano” She ran with him we all new she was glad. Just as she left the room the teacher was done shouting and with a tiny smile the bell went just as we were about to go she exploded…
The Day my Brother Exploded!
It was the best day of my life,the day my brother exploded. It started off as a normal day. My brother pestering me for my chocolate bar. SoI boby-trapped my chocolate, so what he never knew was it wasn’t actually a chocolate bar. It was a stick of TNT covered in chocolate. As soon as he took a bite BOOM! He exploded . I watched flying green pieces of his brain fly right passed my face . I had never realised how tiny his brain was. But some of it landed on my piano!!! Everyone felt sorry for him except me.
The Exploding Christmas Turkey
One Christmas night Sandra ( the worst fairy ever)sat at the table all alone. She was cooking a tiny turkey in her pink and fluffy oven. Sandra danced over to the television and put on the annual piano contest while the turkey was cooking. Soon she heard the ding of the oven and she rushed to the oven and opened the door. Slowly and delicately she took the turkey out and it was green. Sandra sat it on the table picked up the knife and fork and went to cut the first piece of turkey when BOOM! The turkey exploded! Sandra was some sorry girl.
Ants Attack
There was a tribe of green ants who hated the brown ants, they hated the brown ants alot because they were all big and tough, and the green ants were tiny and weak. One night the green ants planned to attack the brown ants! The leader of the green ants is called Bill, Bill and his tribe marched into the brown ants house! They were their for 2 hours, then there was one final bang and the whole house exploded! The next day there was a funeral for the brown ants! There was one brown ant that survived, he was playing the piano. Bill was sorry!

P6/7 Book Festival Author Joan Lennon
In the P6/7 class room the famous author Joan Lennon came in to talk to us about her exiting new books: The Case of the London Dragonfish, The Case of the Glasgow Ghoul and the Case of the Cambridge Mummy! In class we have been reading The Case of the London Dragonfish. We were asking her lots of questions like: What inspired you to write?; What was your first book you wrote? And-What age were you you started writing? We found out lots of information! Next year I wish we will have another author as good as Joan Lennon.

Stephen Baron
Stephen Baron came to the school of Port Ellen primary to tell us about Haydn a very famous composer and it was very interesting. We played games with Stephen Baron and we danced to the music and it was very fancy and I want to do it again. My favourite part was when we played instruments with him it was very noisy. And I personally think that it was a great idea that Reece(The Prince) died of old age in the acting and I was a great woodpecker. Just as I said I think that the acting was very good from everyone and so was the music, he could really play the piano. We had to listen to the music and if if it changed music we had to do our actions. Mrs Macdonald said the school piano had never been so happy!
This week in p3/4
This week p3/4 have been designing a whirry bang for Hamish Machaggis and other things. He lives in a secret glenn in the north of Scotland.

Port Ellen Cutting the Turf
On Friday the 31st of September Port Ellen primary school choir, me, Scott Kinloch, and Donald Swanson went to cut the turf for the new row of houses at Ardview. Me, Donald, Ruby and Oliver cut the first section of turf for the houses and there was a small crowd and the choir sung. After the cutting the adults went to the Islay Hotel for snacks and the school came back by the end of playtime. The weather wasn’t kind and the rain was miserable. Donald is the youngest in the school and I am the oldest.

What We Did On Holiday
On my holiday I went to England, Bracknell and I had a great time. We stayed at my Auntie Ann and I went to Lego land on the first day of our holiday and it was very fun, we got soaked because went on lots of wet rides plus it was raining at the end of the day. We went to see Matilda on the Theater and it was so good, we also went in to a place called Windsor to do some shopping and it was the best shopping experience ever and I really want to go again.
