Dear Ministry of Education


Cross country..
I believe that cross country should be compulsory to all. Even if you don't like running or if you have health issues like diabetes. You can walk it or run it.
Firstly, if you have diabetes or your are injured, you still could walk some then run some. Everyone should at least try because it's not fair on the people that aren't injured, who have to do it.


In addition, if your’e not a runner you can still do it. You can walk with the teacher at the start or at the back of your race. Walking is just as good for you as running.  You are still getting fresh air and some fitness.


Furthermore, If you did not do the cross country you would have nothing to do. You would just be sitting down being lazy, wishing you had done the cross country. Do you want to be bored all afternoon?
So you can see that i think that cross country should be compulsory for all students to have a go. Cross country is good for your fitness, it stops you from being bored and it’s good for your health.
Sincerely Eden

I've noticed the troll keeps threatening to eat the three billy goats gruff and this isn’t good for you or our town's image.. Firstly, the troll will not get angry at the billy goats gruff anymore. To stop that you need to build a second bridge, the troll won't have to worry about anyone walking along on his bridge, or making him feel annoyed. He will get angry and will make everyone's life miserable. In addition, there will be no more trouble what so ever. There will be no more arguing, no more fighting between the billy goats gruffs and the ugly old rotten troll, and this makes everyone upset. So you can see, the land will be worth a lot more than it is now. With two bridges, it will be worth a fortune, wouldn't that be great. So much money. In summary, If there are 2 bridges not only will the ‘people’ of this town get along better, you will save ...

Drip Drop, the slime dripped through from the second floor as we walk into the creepy dark cottage. We went up the stairs and saw a huge pile of green gooey slime lying on the creaky wooden floor falling through the cracks. Suddenly it started getting taller and taller and wider and wider. A face grow and started to chase us all the way to the door. The door was locked. It tried to eat us. All of a sudden the door blasted opened. We sprinted out the door. Into the car and drove to town. Hopefully we were safe.
