It's a Small world Challenge 2

This week we are sharing what we do in our breaks (or recess) and for fun in the weekends!

Write a post including photos and videos. Start it today and edit it over the week. 

We will then share it with our blogging buddies and find out all about them.

Nathan's 100 word challenge #24

If we share… we can help the children that need food or clothes. So always share with your friends and people that need food at school or on the roads so they can live the life, to get older for a job. Then they can help themselves if they use money for the stuff that they need like food, a home or a good living. So help people that are not in a home so you can help the life of the children so all the kids can go help themselves on the road, school at home, at work.  Help the children.

CLICK ABOVE FOR EXAMPLES!

This is Andualem.   

Andualem is 12 and he lives in Ethiopia. He’s tucking into a big plate of his favourite food, injera.

Injera is a special Ethiopian pancake that you eat with your hands – you tear off a strip, dab it in spicy sauce, and then try to get it in your mouth before you drop any!

Injera is also a meal that you share with your family and friends – it often comes on a big plate so that everyone can gather round and enjoy it at the same time.

Right now, children all over the world are hungry, because they don’t have enough food to eat, but there is enough food to feed everyone if, like Andualem, we could all learn to share what we have.

Write a message about this to Andualem and others, starting with…

 ‘If we share…’

As usual, you have 100 words to add to these 3.

Emily Dribble went for her usual Saturday morning visit to the library. Suddenly Emily saw a rather mysterious looking book so she walked over, reached out and pulled it off the shelf. Then she sat down and started to read the book.
"Bob the Cat was surrounded by a mob of big finned orange gold fish. Suddenly he remembered he was a cat so he ran straight through, dodging one. Having separated the ring of goldfish he ran home to his cat box."
Emily Dribble finished reading the mysterious book, she skipped home and took a nice warm bath.

One dark stormy night there was a mysterious cat that was having a bath next to the castle. Then it walked into an orange house and looked in the window of the house. I saw lots and lots of RATS! The cat separated them into 10 groups for the best group to eat. I run as fast as I could and told my family and they said I was crazy. I said "I am not!" They told everybody else and they told them it was true then they told them the story of the MYSTERIOUS CAT and how it all began.

Nina's 100 word challenge #23

Once upon a time I was at the park with my friends and we started to play hide and seek. I ran to the trees and I saw a very funny thing… A bird was walking up and down a tree with a fish in it’s mouth. I could see that the bird had SEPARATED the fish with its beak and eaten all the insides. Then I remembered that we were playing hide and seek so I ran off to the stream and got the shock of my life! I saw a big BATH with a MYSTERIOUS ORANGE CAT washing itself! I screamed and he looked at me and he looked so angry that I sprinted back to my friends and we went to get ice cream. Then we went home talking like crazy but I didn’t tell them what had happened. When I went to bed I was sure I heard something behind the door…
