Battle of Kingdom Granny Smith

by: Kate Cassell

One day Apple woke up. Apple was green and had brown and white spots all over him. For hair he had a brown stem but this morning the stem was crooked because he just woke up.

Today was the day that Apple was supposed to defeat the evil Banana Meister and save Kingdom Granny Smith. The only problem was that he didn't know how to. Apple had been reading books like crazy trying to figure out Banana Meister's weakness. But, alas, he had no such luck. Later as he was walking around Kingdom Granny Smith, he heard a couple of people talking about Banana Meister. They had figured out his weakness; It was Jiffy Chunky Peanut Butter with some bread.

"Ah hah," he thought, "I have finally found a way to defeat him."

So he went to the local grocery store and ran to the peanut butter isle. He found the Jiffy Chunky Peanut Butter than he went to the bread section and got some white bread. He payed for it and then left the store. He got to his house and put some chunky peanut butter on a paper plate then put some white bread next to it.

He took the plate of food to Banana Meister's house and put it on his porch steps. He rang the doorbell and then scrambled up as fast as could up onto the porch covering. When Banana Meister came out and saw the food, he smiled then sat down and started eating. Apple gave a battle cry and jumped down on top of Banana Meister. Banana Meister was so surprised that he didn't have time to react. Apple took the chance and peeled Banana Meister, thus ending his life.

Later that day the King of Kingdom Granny Smith threw him a parade then later offered him his daughter, Red Apple, as a wife. He accepted and they both lived happily ever after!!

The End!

Apple

There was once a Little Girl. She was picky eater. Her parents could not get her to eat anything green. She absolutely would not eat green apples. They were the worst thing in the world. One time her parents said she could not leave the table unless she ate half of a green apple. She would not touch it, let alone eat it. Even one bite was torture in her opinion. She had stayed at the table all night long. Her parents hadn't gotten any sleep either, because she had been screaming at the top of her lungs how she hated green apples. Her parents were not dumb, they knew that she had to eat green apples for her health. Her tounge would lose its taste buds, because it must taste everything, including he sour factor. That night the parents stayed up late, working on their magnificent and devious plan to get their daughter to eat green apples. The next morning the Little Girl woke up and heard her parents conversing quietly downstairs. She ran down the stairs to see what they were talking about. Her parents looked surprised to see her. She demanded to know what they were talking about. They said that they were sorry about forcing her to eat the green apple. Since they knew that she would never eat a green apple, they asked her to try a red apple instead. The Little Girl agreed to try a red apple. What the Little Girl didn't know, was that it wasn't actually a red apple, but green apple with food coloring. The parents wanted to prove that they were right. Parents always want to prove that they are right. The Litlle Girl slowly and painstakingly looked over the 'red' apple. She slowly bit into it and looked surprised when the sour factor hit her taste buds. She loved it and asked for more. Her parents were laughing so hard. The Little Girl aked what was so funny. Her parents were so pleased with themselves that they laid out their entire plan and told her that she had just ate a green apple. The red food coloring was smeared around her mouth which made her parents laugh even harder. After thinking over this, the Little Girl laughed to. The Little Girl always had a green apple at least 2 times a day. Now if only her parents could get her to eat spinach............

Planetaruim

Yesterday, at the planetarium we learned about the stars and the planets. The sun is just a giant star that has enough hydrogen to last us another 5 million years. Nuclear fusion is what makes the stars shine. Blue-white is the hottest star in the color scale.

Jupiter is next to the moon this month. The Scropion is a constellation out right now. So is Peguses,also Hercules is out Orion is in the wintermonths.

This is the story of Orion: Orion was a great hunter and warrior, but he bragged to much. The gods took offense and sent a giant scropion after him. The battle that followed was one of the greatest and biggest ever. Orion was killed and sent as a constellation into cold winter sky where it was cold and lonely. As a reward the scorpion was sent to the summer sky where it was nice and warm.

This is the story of the bear: Once a beautiful women got into some trouble so she asked her great king to help her escape these terrible troubles. The king granted her wish and transformed her into a bear. The hunters didn't know that the bear they were hunting was actually a young women. The lady went to her king and asked him to do something about her being hunted. The king grabbed her by her short tail and hurled into the night sky. There she stayed. Because the king had threw her so hard her tail was strechetd so it looked like a beaver. She soon got lonely and asked her king to send her son up to her. So the king summoned her son, and turned him into a bear , and grabbed him by his short tail and threw him into the night sky. Just like his mom,his tail was elongated. There they stayed mother and son for all eternity.

Several conastallations were named by the Greeks, The Romans, and the Egyptions. Their names still stay with us today.

The food was good.

The gourmet food was excellent. I was so impressed. The waiter recommended the food. He was so right. The smell was enchanting me. I saw and feel the steam rising up. Ouch! It burned my tongue. I can barely think of the words to describe the taste. I am speechless when I think of the bold envlavourment.

The Printing Press


Everyone likes books. If not books, then comics or magazines. You would not have these things if Johannes Gutenburg had not invented the Printing Press. Even if you don't like books, you may like movies. Many movies like: Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Cinderella, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and many more would have been produced because they are all adaptations of books or comics.

Before the Printing Press was invented monks mostly wrote the books. Therefore they were all religious books like Scripture. Only rich people could afford books. You had to trade all sorts of things to buy books because they were so rare. Back then, only a few people could read and they were mostly boys, so books weren't in very high demand.

The first book off the Printing Press was the Bible.Plus all those other classics like: Pride & Predijuice, The Canterbury Tales, Gone With the Wind, Romeo and Juliet, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. We wouldn't have as high a vocabulary and it problably accounts for 50% of our knowledge.

Obviously our lives would be more boring and we would be more stupid without the Printing Press. Not to mention that our summers would be really boring.

Camp

So far camp is pretty cool. We haven't done anything yet,but it seems like I will like it. My poem is

Me by Maddie Cassell

People ask me who I am,
but it's so hard to answer them,
I am a multitude of things,
so in answer to your question I am everything.
