One day a shadow came out of a box.
The shadow wanted to avenge his defeated grandfather.
The people who defeated his grandfather were:
Elie
Abi
Niamh
Pablo
The shadow searched and searched and found their location. It was:
International School of Toulouse
22222
Colomiers
France
The shadow climbed through the vent and hid In Pablo's closet. In the night when Pablo was getting on his PJs, he was kidnapped by the shadow and he screamed. Everybody got up and saw the shadow and...
They where running and running but Pablo had a plan that nobody knew! Pablo had shadow handcuffs in his pocket. He suddenly turned and grabbed the shadow and it did work! Pablo asked why he was doing this, the shadow said, "Because you made my grandfather go to the secret shadow jail; so why did you do that?!" Because he was doing bad stuff and we tried to ask him to be nice but he did not listen so we had no choice to put him in a secret shadow jail!" "Oh, so I need to be good and that will not happen?" "Yes." "Ok."
At the end of school Michael asked his mum Elizabeth to go to Josh's house
"Yes Michael, you can."
Ding Dong! - the door bell rang.
"Hi Mr Brown I am here to see the amazing wizard Josh!"
"What, did he tell you something like being a wizard?"
"Yes, why?" "JOSH!" "Yes dad, what's the matter?" "Go away now or else!" "Bye Mr B and bye Josh." Michael went running home and told his mum. "I will call Mr Brown now my dear boy." "Hello, Mr Brown, my dear boy Micheal has come home saying that..." Beeb beeb "He just hung up on me !" "Dad was that Micheal's mum?" "No I need a big talk with you Mr Josh Brown!" Ding Dong! "Who is it go away" "NO." "YES."
One day there was a wizard. He thought he was a normal boy. When the danger came his father and gran had to tell him about him being a wizard!
"Josh we need to tell you something very important."
"Ok dad."
"Me and your gran want you to know that you're a wizard and there is a big danger coming- King Fluffy."
"What! I am a wizard! Wow! I have been working out, By the way is King Fluffy a big ball of animal hair?"
"No, he is a big black monster, he brings wizards to his spaceship and takes their powers! You must keep the wizard world a secret to humans!!"
He was amazed; he wanted to tell his friends but he had to keep it a secret. But he could not keep it, so he told his friend Michael and Michael said - "Wow, Josh, you are a ..."
"Shhh! You need to keep it a secret, OK?"
I loved music but my parents said that I wasn't allowed to play music and that it was dangerous.
But I didn't think it was dangerous it was beautiful it had a lovely melody. So I went out and waited o see the musical play of Mozart. But he didn't come. So I waited five hours out there but nothing hap end I was about to go home when a lovely melody I looked behind me there was nothing I was just dreaming I said to myself.
Homework is very important for you because if you have a test and you have a very bad score, well, when you are older you would not get a job and a jobs is important because it gives you money so you can buy a house and stuff that is important. Well, that's not what's going to happen if you do not work hard!
TV safety There are some channels who are not suitable because they can have some violence and swear words... And they can give you nightmares!
Bye everyone. That's all from me. See you next Thursday!

She's got the eye of the tiger,
Flashing her eyes.
She's a brave, popular girl.
She's Tarzan wife.
Living in the jungle going fishing,
Helping the animals:
That what it's about.
I needed to travel the dark forest but no one came back when there was gone.The forest was a scary, dark forest.
On the ground there was lots of stones. There was only one little light , but, boom! No no no no the light broke it was dark I could hardly see. Something touched me. It sounded like danger. An owl was singing. I took my light that was in my pocket and turned it on and…
"Hey you, stand, don't move"! I shouted in front of the not MASTER OF MASTERS.
He pushed me and tied me up with his MASTER rope. If i'm still like this I wont be able to go to school.
He did this weird trick with a hypnotiser. I couldn't look. I closed my eyes, for a second I opened my eyes. Then I closed them again. I opened them. The voyagers were not there except ME! He untied the rope from me when I wasn't looking.
I had to drive the Mega Awesome Rail Cable Water Thing to school. I know how to drive it because my dad is the president of the Mega Awesome Rail Cable Water Thing company. I sat down the comfy chair. It's also fluffy too. I drove it to school using these weird buttons.
The arrival at school was OK but not good. Our 4 hour maths lesson turned into a how to hypnotise people class. Science became into a how to grow hypnotising plants. Our History lesson was why did Napoleon get hypnotised. I was like that is not true. It was the hypnotised day!
All Shyneert was hypnotised by the not MASTER OF MASTERS!
I called my BFF Crispy to come to my house to wonder what happened.
Crispy always dreamed to go to the Mega Awesome bla bla bla… And he is!
He couldn't stop saying "When are we going to arrive at the weird"! As you know he calles it weird.
That's just boring. Anyway, when we got to my house Crispy and I went to my room.
We spent hours and hours concentrating on the mystery. We found clues on the Fricynet, (internet in Shyneert) we searched for the MASTER OF MASTERS and there was a thing that said:
He is going to hypnotise the town of Ghonchy next Krontier and then, the whole of Shyneert!
Today was my birthday I'm ten years old today. My mum and my dad are proud of me, but I really want a dragon for my birthday that's all I want. I know that dragons don't exist but I love them.
It was time to go to school. On the way to the school one of my best friend came and told me that the lake was close. I had no idea of which lake it was because there is no lakes in the city. So I went to go and search for a lake.I knew it was school time but it sounded fun to go and find a lake.
The morning awoke with cold air on Clara's cheek.
"My Birthday!" announced Clara, happy.
"You're only five and you're HUGE!" said her brother, Oscar.
"Oh, stop all that nonsense!" shouted Clara.
"Stop all that nonsense," sighed her parents a bit happy.
Clara creaked open the door of her parents' room.
"We've got the best present for you after you get dressed," said her
mum.
So she skipped to her bed, and got dressed as quickly as she could. They went outside to see her present.
"A horse!" cried out Clara.
It was an early Yuister in the town of Schistik.
I was getting ready for school. Meanwhile my mum was cooking breakfast.
She was going to prepare some Dyksters (Toast with Maple syrup and blueberries) I really loves Dyksters. It's savoury and extremely scrumptious. Stania (my mum) does cooking club every Yuister, and that's today! I hate Yuisters because at school I do 4 hours of maths a day! I never listen to instructions, that's why I get told of 3 times a day! (that's a LOT)
I go to school by this weird train that flies on a cable with a boat on top. I call it The Mega Awesome Rail Cable Water thing. Nobody knows what it is called? It must be called: Totally Mysterious! Crispy is my best friend and he calls it weird… That's just simply STUPID! How can someone call that weird? Well right now I need to go to the Mega Awesome bla bla bla…
I was exhausted. It was dark and lame, creepy and vague. It's like if ghosts were surrounding me. Breathe, stay calm. I walked to the giant station. My mum pushed me in front of the Mega Awesome Rail Cable Water thing. I looked at it like every day. I stepped it, I entered it, I sat down… Nobody said anything. It was calm and peaceful. Nobody talks.
Suddenly, a man came and interrupted the whole silence. "Hello everybody. Are you enjoying life? I am. I've come here to hypnotise you! Muahahahaha!"
"Excuse me, I'm trying to read this catalogue, so please don't come and disturb us." A posh lady said that. I had this feeling she came from Buckingham Palace.
"No one interupts the MASTER OF MASTERS!" Every famous person in Shyneert has this strange name. It's really contagious. Wait a second… His fake name is not Master of Masters. It's The Contagious Man! He is an evil guy with red cherries on his lip. His cherries on his lip are actually mini bombs that can explode the whole city.

This one is a great interactive book version of the book, with a map too!
We puzzled over this picture, what Anthony Browne meant by the statues. Mr Gregg wasn't sure. But we found something on the Internet. Anthony Brown explains:
"There’s a picture in Voices in the Park where the two dogs are racing around, as the text says, “Like old friends,” and I've painted the mongrel dog with the pedigree dog’s tail and vice versa. That’s just a little way of saying there’s no real difference between them. The two statues above the dogs represent the woman and the man in the story. They’re set in stone; they’re never going to change."
The last few Thursdays we've made a little time for some big questions that have come up, and some more that have come to join them.
We haven't had time to answer them all. Some of them would be very hard to answer. So, for now, we just asked the questions.
For Ryan's question, we did a bit of Googling. We just asked the question and here's one answer we found on the ESA site. It says there are about 1012 stars in the Milky Way. 1012 means 1 with twelve zeroes after it. That's 1,000,000,000,000. The Milky Way is a galaxy, a bit like this one:
Each little speck of light is a star.
The website then says there are 1012 galaxies in the Universe. So, 1,000,000,000,000 galaxies.
We multiply those together and we get 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the Universe! That's called a septillion, and it's a lot more stars than we guessed at first!
We also began to look at Cristina's question, and strayed into secondary school territory, talking about elements. Here's a song we looked at:
We've got a lot more big questions:
and still more to come...
Do you have any answers to any of these big questions?
We've been reading Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne this week, and doing some drama and writing linked to the book.
Here's Anthony Browne himself:
We've looked at how Anthony Browne's drawings of places are often metaphors for people and their feelings. For instance in these two illustrations:
On the left, dad and Smudge are going to the park; on the right they're coming back. Here's some examples of what we wrote about the change:
He had been
exhausted, but now he was exultant! Smudge had been joyful with her dad. What
had been sad paintings were now alive and in love! What had been a lamppost was now a glorious flower. What had been dark windows were now colourful, different-shaped windows. What had been a poor beggar dressed as Santa was now a brilliant ballet dancer.
Pablo
He had been
gloomy, but now he was blissful! Smudge had made him happy by telling him
jokes. What had been a lamppost was now a flower.
Ryan
He had been
gloomy, but now he was on top of the world! Smudge had cheered him up because
she had noticed that he was depressed. What had been paintings were now
dancing, laughing people. What had been a lamppost was now an exotic white
flower. What had been limp, lifeless trees were now healthy and sturdy, with small, bright flowers (or lights). What had been dull, grey flats were now sleek, clean apartments. Instead of a broken heart, a little reddish heart was painted on the wall. Instead of sad, poor people, the street was filled with cheerful chuckling citizens!
Mimi
He had been
miserable, but now he was joyful. Smudge had told him jokes. The street
was joyful and happy. It was clean now. Santa had all of the things he wanted.
The paintings were smiling and had come out of their pictures now. They were
dancing. What had been a lamppost was now a flower. What had been a broken
heart was now whole. The puddle of tears was gone. Santa was dancing ballet and
the paintings were dancing tango. The trees were happy and had leaves coming.
Clara
He had been
dragged down with gloom, but now he was blissful. Smudge had been talking to
Charles and had told him all about it. Instead of lamppost, a giant flower
sprouted up. The branches of the trees were standing as straight as the Queen
now.
Maia
He had been
bored, but now he was joyful. Smudge had told him rhymes. Smudge had been
talking happily with him. Dad was smiling and the whole street seemed to be
smiling too! The trees had lights now. They were happy.
Fernando
He had been
miserable, but now he was exultant. Smudge had made dad the happiest man in the
world! In the town all was covered with bright colours. The lamppost was in
flower. King Kong was smiling at the top of the building. Father Christmas was
ballet dancing. The Mona Lisa was dancing with the Laughing Cavalier. The trees
were not falling down any more. There was no rubbish all over the floor. The
heart was filled up.
Gustavo
He had been
feeling down, but now he was feeling up! What had been a broken heart was now a
love heart. Smudge had told him jokes. What had been bent trees were now
sprouting trees. What had been a gloomy building was now colourful. What had
been a sorrowful lamppost was now a sprouting flower.
What had
been a miserable town was now amazing!
Penny
He had been
grim, but now he was exultant! Smudge had been happy, yet she had been sad that
her dad was gloomy. She had spoke to him to make him blissful. It was night
time, yet it was a lot happier.
Alicia was SO tired, so she went to rest.
When she woke up they decided to go and explore. They found a cave and crept inside. When they were all inside they found a secret passage and crawled through.
But they soon got stuck in a horrible bit of it . There was only a bit of light coming though. They started to get scared.
They could not go back because rocks where falling on them.
Today I was walking with my brother to basketball and I was amazed. I saw thousands of flowers! I don't know all the names of the flowers. If you know some of the names can you please tell us on a comment?
