Story 16 (Mrs Tytler's group) Introduction Start your story here: Chloe and Hudson were quietly playing in the back yard when all of a sudden they heard a woman yell, "Willie the Wizard! Come over here and help!" "Awwwwwww! Do I have to? I don't like moving house." Chloe and Hudson peaked over the fence. They saw gold boxes, a wand, a crown full of jewels and lots of long, pointy hats decorated with stars and moons. Chloe and Hudson wondered who their new next door neighbours were. They were very very curious. They called out to Francis and Shaun to come and have a look.

Story 12 Introduction  Bump, bump, bump went the school bus over the rocks as Mrs. Saar's 2nd Grade & Miss Boyer's 5th Grade classes traveled to New York City for their field trip. “Are we there, yet?” “I’m getting a headache.” “Can I open the window?” “I’m feeling car-sick.” “Zzzzzzzzz” “What time is lunch?” “I have to go to the bathroom,” blurted a chorus of students as the bus continued the long journey from Fishing Creek Elementary to the big apple. Three hours later…screeeeeech…the bus finally arrived in New York City. “We’re here! We’re here!” exclaimed the excited students. “I NEED some fresh air!” said Mrs. Saar as they all departed the bus.

The wound up students, chaperones, and teachers began their New York sightseeing adventure. First, they visited the Empire State Building (the tallest building in New York City). “I hope I don’t drop my lunch,” said Miss Boyer. Next, they scampered over to the HUGE Toys R Us store. When they left, two hours later, the shelves were almost bare. After that, the classes attended a Broadway show called “Mary Poppins”. “Just a spoonful of sugar, helps the medicine go down,” everyone sang as they rambled, exhausted, yet excited to their last stop…the Statue of Liberty.

Waiting to greet them was Bob, the elderly gentlemen who was going to be their tour guide. “Hello, Fishing Creek Elementary School. Welcome to the Statue of Liberty,” said Bob. He leaned in and whispered, “Would you like to go to the crown and the torch? We’re not supposed to take groups up this late in the day, but I’ll make an exception for you.” “You bet,” everyone responded in unison. They scurried up to the crown and the torch as fast as they could, before anyone could see and stop them. The view was one of the most mind-blowing sights anyone had ever seen.

Because they classes were so entranced by the view, they did not realize the Statue of Liberty was being closed for the night. Before the doors downstairs closed, ninjas (disguised as regular people), snuck in and hid until they thought everyone was gone. The ninjas had heard there was a jewel worth $1,000,000,000 hidden in a secret passage way in the base of the statue and they had plotted and evil plan to steal it.

The classes finally came down and were shocked to see the ninjas. Miss Boyer motioned for everyone to quickly hide. As they peeked out from their hiding places the students observed the head ninja opening a mysterious door with a secret password. "Flying monkeys," said the head ninja and the door sprang open. The ninjas were astonished to see that there were 25 flying monkeys asleep surrounding the jewel. "We’ve got to stop them,” said Bob.

Part 2 (Mrs Clark's group)

The students were feeling scared and terrified. Miss Boyer and Mrs Saar were busy trying to calm the children down. They were whispering, “It’s okay! It’s okay! Calm down”. Bob was concentrating hard. Meanwhile the ninjas were creeping very very quietly towards the sleeping monkeys. The monkeys looked very strange to the students. They had wings like the wings of a bat. They were orange and yellow. They were snoring and dribbling and just moving slightly. One of the ninjas, a very clumsy one, stood accidentally on one of the monkey’s tails. The monkey stirred in his sleep and opened one of his eyes. The ninjas froze.

Story 23 ** Start your story here:

My name is Ivy Worms Cowface and I hate my life. The only things I enjoy are my friend Gwen Mackeys, my pets Flirty (two faced cat), Corset (combination of horse and cat), and Spideret (combination of rabbit and spider) and the fact that I'm a witch. Everyone knows, but I charmed them enough not to hurt me. I'm homeschooled by Gwen's parents, because I'm an orphan and Gwen's parents don't have enough money to send us both to school. Gwen sometimes makes fun of me, it's really annoying! The mean girl on our street is Penelope Shocktips.

**Part 2 (Mr Duffy's group) One morning Ivy woke up feeling very angry. Penelope had said something mean to her the day before. Also one of her spells had gone horribly wrong. When she tried to magically lock her door, the bookcase had fallen onto the floor instead. It had squashed Corset. When she tried to fix him with her magical powers she accidentally turned him into a noisy purple frog who had croaked all night. She hadn't had any sleep. Ivy knew that today she had three jobs to do. The first one was to bring Corset back as his old self. Secondly she had to clean up the bookcase mess. The last, but most important thing, was that she had to deal with Penelope. Penelope was making her life a misery.
