Sleuth Smoosh

Article posted May 12, 2011 at 06:58 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 573

This it the story of Sleuth Smoosh. Funny story um how should I put this he's a tomato. He was sitting at his desk at midnight when the phone rang. It was Detective Mcsplit the Banana. "Help me I'm full of apprehension. Bad Mischief is out again. " "Okay I'll go" said Sleuth Smoosh. So the two ran down the street never thinking of going nonchalantly. Then under Taco Bell there was a carrot trapped in a giant taco. "Help Help" said the carrot. The two foods got the carrot out of the taco. The two asked the carrot is he knew where Bad Mischief went and he said the white house. "Gasp President Corn lives there" said Detective Mcsplit. "Big surprise" said Sleuth Smoosh sarcastically. The two foods recruited the carrot but he said no. On the way to the White house Sleuth Smoosh said "I have a hunch that Bad Mischief is going to capture President Corn. So the two ran to into the White House. It was very quiet maybe to quiet. When all of a sudden Bad Mischief jumped out of the closet. "Ha Ha Ha" said Bad Mischief. I was so undeterred to capture President Corn everyone said I couldn't but I did. Then out the back window the carrot came and kicked Bad Mischief on the back of the head, and Bad Mischief fainted. Then everyone was silent when a soft mumbling came from a trunk. "Do you here that" said Sleuth smoosh. "I do here it and it's coming from that trunk. "well don't just stand there open it up" said the carrot. Then Sleuth Smoosh and Detective Mcsplit opened the trunk and President Corn was inside. "Thank you for rescuing me" said President Corn. "Let's put Bad Mischief in jail" said Detective Mcsplit. "Good idea" said Sleuth Smoosh. So President Corn Detective Mcsplit Sleuth Smoosh and the carrot went to the Jail top put Bad Mischief in his cell. But right before all four foods left the jail the lights went out there was a scream in the darkness and Bad Mischief was gone?

My favorite exhibit was the light room. The room could take away light waves. When they took away green light waves everything green turned brown. When they took away blue light waves everything blue turned green. When they took away red lightwaves everything red turned dark purple.

The Queens

Article posted April 27, 2011 at 05:58 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 490

Once there was a boy who who went on a expedition to a place where nobody has ever been to before.
Once upon time there was a boy who went on a jaunt to his aunt's house. When he got there he stopped to look at his favorite picture of a bright green meadow. The picture almost looked alive. When he touched it he could feel the texture of the grass. Then the room started to rumble and flower warriors walked right out of the picture and grabbed the boy. The flowers were indomitable. No matter how hard the boy kicked or screamed they wouldn't let go of him. Then they brought him tight into the picture. They brought him to the highest mountain on the highest cliff where laid a castle. There were creatures of all kinds but they all looked the opposite of vivacious. Instead they looked sad and scared. Inside the castle was a great Queen dressed in green she acted nice but had a trace of evil. She told the boy to never go by water because but she was cut off by a man made of water who brought the boy to the bottom of the sea. Where there a Blue Queen told the boy on the hottest day of summer the Green Queen will dry up all water. The Blue Queen said how consistent her schedule was. She did nothing the Green Queen locked me up here. She told him the Green Queen is the master of land and I am the master of water The boy liked this Queen she was very amiable. Then the two people went on a great extravaganza to talk to the Green Queen about how awful she was but then something amazing happened.

My awesome school

Article posted April 25, 2011 at 08:23 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 463

Do you have to walk at recess on a blacktop instead of play. If you drop a paintbrush do your teachers bite your ear off. If you answer yes to any of these questions leave your school and come to Greenbriar.

At recess we get to play lots of fun games. Some are 4-square kickball and tag. I like 4-square the best. It’s so fun to hit the ball and watch the person almost miss the ball. It’s also okay to get out, it’s how you get better and know what not to do. Also many games are fun. You think you’re starting the game and the king shouts “PACK MAN” and everyone runs around laughing.

Another cool thing we have at greenbriar is Art. At Art we get to do lots of cool stuff. Once we got make Greek pottery. We got to use real ink on the pottery. The Greek people would draw every day life. I made two people playing catch.

Well now you know just some of the great reasons you should come to Greenbriar. So come now by.

The pale was awful there would be mob attacks on jews just because they were jews. So the Marks went on a boat to America The marks were worried for their son Nathan because his eye was puffy and they worried he wouldn't pass inspection but everybody did:). They were forced to live in a small apartment called a tenement. They also had to work at a bad factory called a sweatshop. Eventually they made a lot of money and moved to a better home yay.

The Field Museum

One thing I did over spring break is go to the field museum. Some stuff we saw there was see the most completed T-rex in the world, see how the world evolved etc. The T-rex's name is Sue because it was discovered by a girl named Sue. What's weird is nobody knows if the dinosaur is a boy or a girl. The T-rex is the most completed
T-rex in the world. It's 90% complete. I also saw how the earth evolved. One thing I learned that I already knew is that global warming isn't all humans fault. The earth is naturally going to get hot and cold. One reason the earth might get hotter is because the orbit around the sun get's more oval like and more circle like over million's of years. Also sometimes the axis of the earth changes it's axis over millions of years. So sometimes the axis will be closer or farther from the sun. Well that's some of the stuff I did over Spring break by.

Once upon a time there was a boy who possessed a magical ability to travel anywhere in a instant. One day he decided to travel to a new a place, somewhere where nobody had ever went. So if he could travel anywhere why couldn’t he travel to a place he made up. There isn’t a reason he couldn’t so he tried it. When he tried it his body froze up then he levitated in the air and with that he traveled to a new world. When he found himself in this new world he guessed he is quite keen at this ability. As he ventured in this new world he realized how scarce the life was here all he saw was a few small plants. Then when he turned a corner he saw a great witch. She appeared to be scrutinizing a purple frog,but then when she sow the boy she got so exited and elucidated on this world. Then at the end she said “and now I will wipe out this world to make my own world with that she started shooting him with a sort of red beam. The boy was in a quandary but he thought if he was so plentiful of magic why couldn’t he get back home and then he did.

In science lab we made a barometer. A barometer is a instrument that measures air pressure. When air pressure is greater it presses down on the balloon which makes the pen attached to it go up. When the air pressure is lower the air in the jar pushes up which makes the balloon go up making the pen go down. What's really weird is that every square inch is 14.7 pounds of air pressure

Article posted February 17, 2011 at 05:18 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 182

This week was so fun I'll tell you. We got to learn about weather. We learned that humidity is how much water is in the area. The more water in the air the more humid it is. When the air has all the water it can have in it, it is 100% humidity. If it is 100% humidity It'll usually be raining. I hate rain.  There is low pressure and high pressure. Low pressure is when the warm air rises leaving moist air and it sometimes brings rain. High pressure is when cool air goes down bringing nice cloudless days. If it's summer.  Well that was my week by.

Nick's Dad is just signed a paper that let's Nick get 30% of the money that a man who sells frindle products makes. I think Nick's Dad is really mean because he saves it for collage then let's Nick have the money until collage.  When Nick does get in collage he is rich.  I'd be so exited I probably would be exited for a whole week.  At the end Nick got a letter his teacher would give him when the frindle stuff was over. Nick didn't get the letter until collage. When he saw it he was so exited. If I saw it I would tear the paper right off, he did'n see the letter since 5th grade. He did and it say'd that frindle was added to the dictionary.  I would be so exited to have my own word in the dictionary. Well that's how everything went by.

A news reporter just came to Nick's school. She interviewed the principle. The whole time the principle was fidgeting as the girl asked her question. The next day everybody new about the new word. I think it be ok to make a new word. I think Nick's teacher is overreacting because she mad that her students are playing. It's like if you are playing a game and someone walks up to you and says, " You made that game up you can't play it." I bet if I was a teacher I would be fine if kids made up a new word.

This week learned about colonies. The main thing we learned about is Jamestown. Jamestown is a English settlement in Virginia. The people of England came to Jamestown to look for gold but there was no gold. Only fertile ground so they grew tobacco. They stated with very little money and ended up with a lot by shipping the tobacco to England. It was very hard to live in Jamestown evan with all the money. The water in the river was polluted and the indians were attacking a lot.

In math we learned about order of operation that's when you have a big problem and you do the operation in the right way it is, multiplication division addition subtraction.

Hanukkah

Woosh I just saw a snowball fly past my face, we always have snowball fights on Hanukkah so it must be Hanukkah.

When my cousins come over we always have snowball fights. Sometimes the adults will come outside and play. We’ll also will build forts snowman and big snowballs. We’ll go down the slide and i’ll be so slippery and fast that we’ll go flying off the slide. Sometimes I’ll hide and my cousins will try and find me and I’ll jump out and scare them. Then we’ll all take turns hiding. Eventually one us will hide inside and we’ll play inside for the rest of the day.

When were inside we’ll have a cup of hot coca to warm us up. Then we light the candles the candles always burn for ever. We’ll blow at the candles and they never go out because we don’t blow that hard. Then we always talk about how chestnuts roasting on an open fire is a winter song not christmas song, but my cousin always argues that it is. I like talking about that because no one thinks they are they are winter song but they are. Then my cousin complains that it’s a Christmas song then I tell her it’s important for people to know that it is a winter song then everyone goes home.

:( Well by I can’t talk now because I’m decorating for new years by. :)

Universal

This winter break I went to Florida. One of my favorite things I did there was go to Universals studios and Island of Adventure. My favorite part of both parks was going to The Harry Potter part of the park. They had a perfect replica of Hogwarts and hogsmades. The best ride in Harry Potter was so cool. You fly around with Harry and Hermione. It looked so real. Part of the ride was projected and part of it was real. The projected parts felt so real that I thought I was really flying.
The other park had a roller coaster that was awesome when you get on there's a touch screen that you choose a music and you get to listen to it. I'll make a music video of you. then a brings up a track that goes strait up literally 180 degrees up. Then it did a steep drop not strait down. The roller coaster did all these crazy loops, turns and drops and when the ride was over you got to watch the music video of you. Well that's one thing I did over break by.

When I saw that I got exited so I went inside. There were all sorts of potions. red ones blue one green ones etc. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw something. It was the address book to all the witches in the world. I walked over to it but when i was almost there i felt like I was falling. I looked down I saw darkness.

Gems

Article posted November 8, 2010 at 07:49 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 660

Crystals are pure forms of minerals made out of atoms. The atoms are arranged in patterns unlike most rocks. Most crystals form in the mantle and are brought up by volcanos. A organic gem is a gem formed by living things. For example pearls and amber are organic gems. Most mineral gems are underground so to get them people have to dig a hole that goes underground and mine for them by hand. When gems are formed they look dull dark rough edges etc. So lapidaries (gem cutters) cut polish and hide flaws so they look like what you see in the store.

The slippery slope

Article posted October 13, 2010 at 05:11 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 567

I’m reading The Slippery Slope. It’s a book about three kids who lose there parents in a fire. Also a evil man and his troupe try to steel there fortune that they can’t evan use! The strange thing is they think one of their parents are alive. they figured this out by using a secret code called V.F.D what’s evan more strange is they don’t evan know what V.F.D stands for! They didn’t figure out what V.F.D stand until they meet their best friends triplet brother who they thought died in a fire! He told them that V.F.D is a secret organization which they all ready knew. Also everything in the organization is named after V.F.D. from the valley of for drafts to village of fowl devotees to very fresh dill etc.If you’re wondering why there’s been to fires it’s because the guy who want’s to steel the fortune (Count Olaf) burns everything he he want’s to get rid of which is a lot of stuff. Including the V.F.D building which is the main part of V.F.D, if you want to know if this madness will ever stop you can’t ask me because I’m not sure. But if I have to give a opinion if the three kids will ever be save I say know because the name of the series is A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I don't know what it would be about, but all the plays are made up. the only one I know wasn't was The empors new clothes. I think egypt would be about a evil king doing some thing bad and someone would stop him. Bye
