The Mysterious Paper Bag
‘’Ahhhhh rise and shine’’ said Elise’s mum. . As Elise stumbled out of bed as cold as ice, on a rainy cold winter morning. She got up and stumbled herself to the kitchen, she poured herself a bowl of cereal and gulped it down in a rush. Elise then made her way up the stairs to her wardrobe and got her clothes out for the day. She chose to wear some warm layers of clothes for this cold dreadful rainy day. She then brushed her teeth and hair and made her way down to the front door. Elise threw her bag onto her back and stumbled out the door. She grabbed her umbrella and walked to her friend's house where they were meeting to walk to school. As she walked past she saw standing there her two best friends Alyssa and Mia she rushed over to them with excitement they then popped their umbrellas up and walked to school listening to the pitta patter raindrops hit the umbrella. When they finally arrived at school, They placed their bags down and walked into the mysteriously quiet classroom. When the three girls went and sat down they heard the bell ‘’ring ring ring ring’’...
When the bell went and the class was awfully silent, a mysterious lady walked in that we have never seen before. She walked in with a long black cloak with a hoodie on. You couldn't see her face or anything. She just walked in and placed a brown paper bag on the table.
When the bag got put down everyone was just staring right at it for a good 10 seconds straight, until it started to move. It wiggled and rustled and tossed and turned so Mia Elise and Myself decided to walk over and look. As we walked over we saw glowing coming out the top of the paper bag. Then it started to move even more…
After a while of discussion and thinking about what to do the three girls decided to open the bag and take out whatever was in it. Alyssa, Mia, and Elise walked to the sports shed. They put on some protective gear that they would think would protect them from what was in the paper bag. They put on a baseball helmet and a bit more protective sports gear. Then they walked back to the classroom trying not to make a single noise. They walked into the classroom and approached the paper bag Elise opened the top of the bag and pulled out the shiny metal thing. When she pulled it out they were so surprised to see that it was a genie lantern. A genie flew out of the lantern ‘’swoooshhhhhh’’ and it said to the three girls, ‘’ after years and years you found me I will now grant you, three girls, 3 wishes each’’. The girls got so excited and had a discussion about what they should wish for. And that was the end of what was in a mysterious-looking paper bag.
Mias feedback - Really cool, entertaining story. A lot of detail was added.. I would like it if the ending was longer though .

The Sly Fox
The full moon was out and it was Dark cloudy, cold, and Still. It was Noah's turn to do the dishes because his troublesome sister wouldn't do her week. So Noah had to think of a plan, a plan that could get him out of doing his sister's chores. So he sprinted to his room and climbed out his window and took off into the deep dark frightening woods, little does Noah know there are sly foxes on the loose…
When Noah was halfway into the woods with No food, No water, No warm clothes, or anything to survive… Then Noah had to have a rest so he sat down near a HUMONGOUS oak tree. He had a little rest and when he opened his eyes he noticed that he was staring straight into sly foxes' deep dark eyes. The fox was a smokey orange color with a snow-white tummy he had pointy dirty blond ears that would stick up when he heard a sudden move. Noah got petrified and started to panic. He was staring into a fox's soul… He didn't know what to do but sit there and watch this fox circle him. Then from the unknown Noah heard a deep frightening voice that said ‘’Don't be scared you're our only hope’’. Noah didn't know what emotion to feel. He was so frightened and had cold shivers going down his spine. He had a good think about what was going on and thought that he should follow what the voice said “don't be frightened’’. So Noah stood up and followed the fox… He followed the fox into a dark sturdy cave. As Noah was walking into the cave he had butterflies in his stomach and so many thoughts going through his head. He then looked up and saw a whole pack of foxes eyeing him right into his eyes. At this moment Noah realized that it was a bad idea to have listened to the voice he heard.
Noah was so scared and had no clue what to do about it. He stood there in fear of why all these foxes were staring right at him. Again he had to think of a plan. Noah couldn't run Because there were foxes everywhere he looked. There were foxes to his left, foxes to his right, foxes in front of him, and foxes behind him. He didn't have a clue what to do. Noah thought and thought even harder than DING. A brilliant idea came to Noah's mind. He knew and learned that foxes got frightened when they heard a loud noise, So Noah thought that if he clapped or made a loud noise the foxes would all run back into the deep dark sturdy cave.
So Noah clapped as loud as he could and all he saw was the foxes lay down on their bellies as frightened as a mouse when it saw a cat. Then all I could hear was the foxes jump and their feet were stumping and it echoed in the cave. I ran when the sight was clear of foxes, I ran out of the deep dark sturdy cave and I was hoping the foxes were so deep in the cave they couldn't hear my footsteps echoing I ran home and jumped into bed hopefully no one could hear me. And that was the story of the day I listened to a deep frightened voice in the woods.

In my spare time and when I can I enjoy Moto X riding. For me it makes me feel free and cheers me up, I feel happy when I ride and I go into my own little world. Riding is such a passion and I really enjoy it!
