Remember some of the interesting ideas we discussed in Literacy this week, when we discussed the question ‘What is a story?’ Bring in some of your creative genius for this task.
What I love about the 100WC is the variety of the writing it generates AND I don’t have to wait until Wednesday to see the brilliant homework you have been doing! So get writing, I need some exciting weekend reading!
This week, you have 5 words and these must be included in your 100 words.
The words are:
Funny Orange Waved Pavement Tortoise
Try to plan your story: your writing can of course be funny and unusual, but try to avoid just using the words in a random way, be clever about it!
As they walked towards Emily’s house, she wouldn’t stop talking about how funny it was when the orange cat ran into the wall, because it was trying to jump over it.
“And did you see it when the cat tripped on the pavement when she was running? “she exclaimed.
“Hey, Emily!” called a familiar voice. It was her best friend, Sadie.
“Hey to you too Sadie!” replied Emily as she waved hi to her friend.
“Have you seen my new pet tortoise? She’s called Coral.”
“Sorry I am busy, maybe next time. Bye.”
As I walked in to the pet shop I saw the most fabulous animals ever! This pet shop was no ordinary pet shop, it was magic!! They had orange cats with wavy claws, funny polka dot tortoises and loads of bunnies with green and blue fur! I had to choose the polka dot cat so we did. As we left the pet shop I saw the oddest pavement slab. It had cracks down the middle and there were loads of names printed all over it!! It was the most amazing day! I was so glad for what happened.

The snail shell was suspended in mid air. Inside was a small orange tortoise, below the shell, on the pavement a pigeon sat waving at the tortoise. ‘ Serves you right for playing that funny little prank on me. My feathers still hurt you know,’ said the pigeon.
At first the tortoise thought it was quite a good idea but the pigeon obviously thought differently. What was it about the prank that he didn’t like. Maybe it was because he set the pigeon’s feathers alight, or the bit where he pretended the cheese grater was a water slide. How should he know he wasn’t a mind reader.
Today was a really weird day. I was striding down the pavement to my house when I saw my friend walking on the opposite side of the road. “Hi” I shouted. He turned his head and said “Hello Leo”. Jimmy ran across the road and offered me a packet of sweets. “Thank you” I said. “That’s alright” he replied. I waved him goodbye and walked into my house.
I ran upstairs into my bedroom and happened to notice a funny, orange tortoise jumping on my bed. I hopped onto the bed and started jumping with it. Suddenly it did a back flip and then….. I woke up and found out it was dream.
I watched my pet tortoise Jenny lumbering around the orange carpet.
“Could you take Jenny for a walk?” called Mum.
“Okay,” I replied.
I picked Jenny up and helped her onto the pavement. She was rather lazy and it was ages before she started moving. After walking for 20 minutes, I took her inside where she dozed off. She was exhausted.
Just then, my brother, who had slept in, crawled into the living room. That was funny, I thought. He was acting just like Jenny.
My brother plopped down next to Jenny and started snoring. “They are so sleepy,” I sighed.
The mindless, domestic tortoise waved goodbye to her friends and began to walk slowly down the road, when she noticed something funny, something out of the blue, a man’s head was lying on the pavement, and a man’s legs and…in fact it was just a man lying on the street, but that’s still pretty strange. He looked hurt. “Pig Man!” shouted the tortoise, “I need you!”
A small pig with an orange tea towel around it’s neck dropped out of the sky with a parachute, only the parachute didn’t work and the pig fell on the man. Problem solved.
I was walking home with my friend when she spotted a pet shop, we wandered in and had a look at the fish. I looked at the tank next to us and waved at tortoise the when sudenly a funny orange tortoise wadlend in to site. I called for my friend and she let out a welp and knoked the tank over. The shop owner gatherd all of the tortoise exsept for the funny orange one. With dread I watched the funny orange tortoise wadlle its way threw the pet shop, out of the door and on to the road.
Hello, I am a tortoise. I want to see if there is more to this world than this old boring house. So last night I waved goodbye and fled into the night. You might think I was slow, but it was fast for me! Soon I was tired and snoozed in the middle of the pavement. I was awoken by a strange wet sensation. I peeked out of my shell. A gang of teenagers was spray-painting the road bright orange. It wasn’t very funny. Did they not notice me? I went back to my home as an orange irritated tortoise.
Sophie was trailing behind her friends Amy, Alice, and Jessica. As she quickened her pace she tripped on the chewing-gum-encrusted pavement, she stumbled and as she flailed to stop her fall her eye caught on an ad at a bus stop of woman wearing a vile orange top. Her friends waved at her and called for her to catch up. She passed the pet shop and saw a tank with the smallest tortoise she had ever seen, it was sooooo cute. She remembered her friends waiting at the bus stop and realised how awfully funny she must look.
John was walking down the pavement when he saw an orange tree. He started to pick the oranges off. Suddenly, he saw a weird tortoise. It is normally very rare to see a tortoise on the street. He picked it up but when he poked his head it bit John’s finger.
“Ouch!” said John. So he put it down. Then he saw his friend and he waved at him. His friend waved back. John walked and walked until he saw a poster; it was a very funny one. He carried on walking for ages until he made it home safely.
The Revenge of the Tortoise
Yesterday I was walking down the pavement of Campdale Road and I walked past the Tufnell Park playing field.
I saw an orange tortoise.It was rolling on the ground then started running, or going its fastest, away from a person with a net.
They were growing new grass there.I thought it was quite funny. I saw my friend and I waved and had a good chat, when I looked back to see the great escape of the tortoise.
It wasn’t so great, the tortoise had been captured but the grass had been demolished. (I expect the man with the net got fired).
Swimming, I was admiring all the glistening pavement like stones underneath me when just about a metre away was a bright orange object almost beckoning my tripping feet towards it. It was funny because all the other stones were either grey or just cream coloured or the colour of a tortoise! I soon found out that I had actually swam very far off to sea, and just waved hoping that someone would finally come and get my wrinkled and forgotten body. I glanced nervously at the shadowy creatures whirling underneath me making a cold and horrible rush meet my spine.
As the small boy walked down the pavement, he saw a car race down the road. He thought how funny it’ll be if a tortoise was driving the vehicle. He got confused about where his friend’s house was, so he checked the address on the invitation and understood he had to take the first left turn and continue until he found the house with an orange door. He finally found it and entered. He gave the present to the mum and got a cup of apple juice. After the party, Alex waved goodbye to his friend and said happy birthday.
We live in a magic house.
It is full of mischief
Things move about it really annoys me.
I know the ghosts are nice.
They are just playing about
It’s not their fault that mum and dad built the house over their burial ground!
last week I came home with a friend.
They decided to play a little prank
They flushed him down the toilet
And I had to rescue him from the sewerage tank!
I wonder what will happen tomorrow.
Maybe the microwave will explode!
Perhaps the rooms will move about.
Or maybe the furniture will be on the ceiling.
You never know what will happen next.
When you live in a magic house.
