My magic power……shApE ShiFTEr

I woke up one morning, but it wasn’t any morning. I felt alive and excited about something, I don’t even know why! I knew something big was going to happen today-VERY BIG and I was going to be apart of it. I quickly got changed and got ready for school in record time. We finally arrived at school, Ash and I made our way up to the lockers and suddenly stopped and looked around. There was no-one at school! We went up to the office and the ladies were there. They said we only started at 11.00 today. Ash and I looked at each other dumb founded! We couldn’t believe that we had forgotten. As Ash and I strolled down to main street we tripped at the same time, and fell intoi a pool of shimmery purple sticky stuff that smelt like my lipgloss. Luckily we had 2 and a half hours till school started! We decided to catch the bus back to my house. After we had had a shower and got changed, I explained to mum that we only started at 11.00 today so she drove us to school.

First class was English. We had homework due in and I had forgotten! Mr.B was furiously yelling at me I swear I could nearly see clouds of steam coming out of his ears! I stared into his eyes and concentrated, it felt like some sort of energy was building up behind my eyes! For a split second I was lost and felt like I was Mr.B and made him stop yelling at me. Next thing I know I was me again and back in the class room with everyone working quietly on the laptops. The bell rang and as soon as it did Ash and I ran over to each other, “Did something weird happen to you in English like you could read minds? Because I could,” Ashley blurted out. I looked at her for a moment and said “No, but I can change into people, just like a shape shifter!!”

Throughout lunch we experimented on our friends and I turned into one of the canteen ladies and made her give us free food! The bell rang again and we had P.E and Mr.H was going to be away so we had a CRT (Casual Relief Teacher). I was ready I was just tying my shoelace when a giant shadow fell over the top on me, I froze with fear, looked up to see a tall, musculine, figure staring down upon me. I jumped to my feet and as I did he called “BLOCK RUN” There was a wave of groans and a couple of sarcastic ”Thanks Maddie!” Mr.F he called himself and if someone sat down or even looked like they were going to they had to do the block run again. By the time it was half a period I had done the block run 3 times I was so puffed and tired I could have passed out. Then I realised that I could use my powers, by the look of it Ashley was thinking that too. I tried really hard to get his attention but couldn’t so I sat down……….. He was getting ready to say ‘block run’ but I stared into the two round, black, shallow holes that he called eyes and concentrated. The feeling began I could feel it building up I opened my eyes and I was Mr.F staring back at myself……………….

About half an hour later the bell sounded and everyone rushed to get changed and Ash ran over to me with a massive smile! “Maddie, Maddie!!! That was awesome I can’t believe you did that! Mr.F bought everyone food from the canteen and let us do whatever we wanted for the rest of the period!!” she whispered as she gave me a massive hug! That night Ash slept over and we told my dad everything that had happened that day. We could tell he didn’t believe us but went along with it anyway. After a while he said “And how did you get this power?” Ash and I stared at each other and tried to think of where it had come from, we didn’t actually know when or how we got it. Then mum came in and said that she was trying to get the purple stains out of our uniforms and she didn’t know how we got them. Dad said “Purple stains how did you get them?” It suddenly clicked we had got the powers when we tripped into the purple sticky stuff.

We didn’t get much sleep that night and the next morning I couldn’t wait to get to school, Ash and I had arranged to catch the early bus I was so excited to explore my powers and how much more interesting things I could do with them! The day went on as usual and by the time the recess bell rang I felt really powerful like I could take on the world Ash and I were a team! During maths we were all talking about what movies we were going to see on the weekend when suddenly the fire alarm went off and everyone started screeming and panicking about what to do and where to go. Mrs.L said “Stay calm and move out the door in two straight lines and don’t muck about. We are to walk to the oval just like we practiced! QUICKLY EVERYONE”

Ash and I knew what we had to do. We zanuck out of the back  door to find the flame and to see if there was anyone trapped inside. Ash picked up on a person’s thoughts “I don’t know where to go! How do I get out of here?” We worked out where they were and I shifted into that person and helped her out. I had a great idea I could turn into the fire and make it go out!! So I concentrated so hard it felt like my head was going to explode. I was the fire, I didn’t no what to do I was scared, then I heard Ashley’s voice “It’s OK Maddie you can do it, the water supply is near the girls toilets.” As fast as I could I made the fire spread towards the water supply and my plan was to burn it down releasing the water onto the fire causing it to go out. It all happened to quickly one minute I was the fire now I am me again standing next to Ashley in front of the whole entire school! The principle spoke still shocked “If it wasn’t for these two girls there would have no school ground left!! Please give them a round of applause!!” It was extremely over-whelming to have to have everyone clapping for you. It was amazing.

Two weeks later little did we know that all the teachers had nominated us for a bravery award which was very rarely given out. Ashley and I were on the fromt page of the Herald Sun!! It read “Local Heros save their school!” They even interviewed us aswell, this had been the best week of our lives and a memerable expereince. Later that day once again the hall errupted whan Ash and I walked up onto stage to collect our awards. I was speechless………

English term 1

Last term in English the best piece of work I did was the rewrite of the fox story from the fox’s point of view, because I think that was one of the best stories I’ve written. One of the most interesting things I learnt last term was how to use my blog properly because there is so much more you can do to make your writing stand out and look pretty. The assignment I most enjoyed was the fox assignment. I enjoyed it the most because it was one of my favourite pieces. I didn’t really not enjoy any of the assignments although I don’t really like reviewing movies. The book that I most liked reading last term was Chinese Cinderella. It’s one of my favourites because it’s a story of an unwanted daughter, it was sad but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I found I learnt most when I was sitting with Dannii and we were working together. I could have learned more if I didn’t talk and get distracted. What I think I could work on this term is not talking as much and getting distracting and I work well with Dannii because she is my best friend. I can work to the best of my ability this term by concentrating without talking as much.

‘Doctor Who’ review questions

1) Some of the ordinary obejts and events that are used in extrodinary ways in the ‘Runaway bride’ are:

a) The Doctors spaceship/time machine was disguised as a phonebooth,

b) The evil robots were disguises as Santa’s,

c) The Christmas tree balbauls were disguised as bombs,

d) The

 2) I think that the show used everyday objects and things in strange and different ways because not only does it make them exciting, it also makes the storyline more unpridictable as to what is going to happen next!!

3) I think if the TARDIS was a normal looking spaceship it wouldn’t have as much effect as the unusual phonebooth flying through the air on the freeway because it is different. exciting and extrodinary making the movie more enjoyable to watch.

Doctor Who Review…..

‘The Runaway Bride’ is one of the recent ’Doctor Who’ episodes, it is a modern remake of the original television programme in Britan that ran for a long time. Unlike the old episodes, the new ones have a more inviting feel about them because they are modern with the characters they use and things they relate to so more people can relate to them and enjoy them more!

‘Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride’ was set in 2006 in London, it is about a bride called Donna who was happily walking down the aisle on her wedding day but all of a sudden disappears! She finds herself on a spaceship staring at a strange man(Doctor Who) who was very surprised and curious as to how she had come and who she was. The Doctor examined Donna and found out she is made up of unusual small particles, human particles. Meanwhile evil robots disguised as Santa’s go undercover, their mission was to bring Donna to the Racnoss(who was a massive spider). The Doctor was trying to figure out how Donna had got the particles. Donna said that Lance had been giving her a coffee every morning for 6 months. That was it, and because she had, had lots of them she was now completely made up of tiny human particles! They came face to face with the genus behind it all, the ‘Racnoss’. The giant spider was scheming to repopulate her kind through her children and rule the world! They would live on humans(that was why they were there). To Donna and the Doctors surprise Lance was on the ‘Rancnoss’s’ side all along. Will the ‘Racnoss’ take over and rule the world? To discover the amazing twist to the end of this wonderful scientific modern day fantasy you’ll have to watch it!

Russell T Davies who is the talented writer, produced a very well put together modern film.

Euros Lyn, the director, added to the storyline turning everyday objects in our lives into unusual things. For example, there was a flying phone booth but inside was the Doctors spaceship and the evil robots disguised as Santa’s, making the movie unpredictable and suspenseful!

Over all the character were very well suited to their parts. I particularly like the Doctor, he’s role was unusual and no-one really new his character properly, throughout the episode clues were given away and at the end he said his kind was responsible for the extinction of the Racnoss! I certainly didn’t picture that. The Racnoss was also another character that I liked. What amazed me was the makeup, the costume and all the hard work that had been put into making it look so good. It was almost breath taking. The only complaint that I would  say was the unnatural-ism on the charactors face, it was like someone said be sad so they turned on a sad face, it didn’t look that convincing to me.

   The main character, ‘Dr Who’  is played by David Tennant. David Tennant, is an English writer, his career began when he got a part in The Royal Shakespeare Company. He also played a role in the very well known film ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’. He had lead roles in many dramas as-well he even worked with one of the other ‘Doctor Who’ charactors Christopher Eccleston, many people have mixed comments about which is better at filling the role of ‘DoctorWho’. Also in the Royal Shakespeare Company was the actress Catherine Tate who played Donna Noble (the bride) in ‘Doctor Who’. She also had a massive hit with her show’ The Catherine Tate Show’ as-well as many other movies with lead roles that she created herself.

I thoroughly enjoed the film ‘Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride’. I can’t really relate to all the other ’Doctor Who’ films because I haven’t seen them. So I can’t say that this film is better than all the rest. Although in the next episode I would like to see some better acting but overall I’m looking forward to the next episode of the modern scientific, film, ‘Doctor Who’.
