    The moment they had feared was finally upon them; the electric storm had arrived. With the world in ruins, they began to board the ship in hope of salvation…
    Ethan led a normal life… until now.
    An electricity bolt zoomed past his ear narrowly missing head.It shot past him hitting someone else.Well,not everybody was as lucky as him.Running past,he looked back just in time to see yet another person in flames-reduced to nothing in just a few seconds.Ethan gulped back tears.He had no idea if the person he saw was one of his family members-it was just as bad viewing this incident knowing he could not do anything to help.He started running again knowing it wouldn’t do anyone any good if he also was reduced to ashes.

    In the distance he saw a strange shape deflecting of electric bolts.Hesitantly,he made his way to the strange shape in hope that it could offer him any form of shelter.As he got closer,he realised the shape he saw in the distance was a ship of some kind.He called out to the other survivors in his loudest voice,”HEY,COME HERE I THINK I HAVE FOUND SOMETHING!
    Instantly,he heard a rushing sound as people ran towards him from every direction.

    Ethan supervised the people boarding the ship making sure no one was left behind-they couldn’t afford to leave anyone behind.Soon enough,the ship was full up to the brim,and a young child was the only one left-in their haste the older ones pushed the younger ones behind which resulted in the young child becoming the last one.There was no other way , he would have to be left behind.”No stop!” Who was it talking?The person who talked came forward. “I will leave the ship,I am old and I don’t have much of a life left.You are young.”Before Ethan could protest the man left the ship and pushed the young child and Ethan on board and the door closed behind them.This was the kind of thing they were dealing with now … life or death.

    I believe that was a powerful thunderstorm,However i think that the animals are boarding in the ship to stay safe.
    the ship was built to stay secured
    in my opinion i think that the animals felt nervous as they did not know what was going to happen
    i think the ship is heading to other planets to stay riskless
    It is possible that humans may go to other planets and live there to stay safe

    I would think this is a mighty storm as it is bolting frightening lightening ferociously from the angry thunder clouds.
    Considering the fact the ship is metal ,the lightening would pass through the ship and cause the people inside a powerful electric shock meaning all the equipment different.

    The moment they had feared was finally upon them; the electric storm had arrived. With the world in ruins, boarding the ship , in hope of salvation…

    Stuck to their seats , dragons zooming through their stomach, were the last few brave survivors of the storm untill… well, you’ll find out. Never knowing whether any of them would return alive .Whether anyone would hug their dear ones again .Whether anyone would live to tell the tale . Earth’s fate was up to them ,the last few soldiers. Who knew they wouldn’t leave that day , who?

    Prior to blast, an ear-splitting roar filled the atmosphere. The alarm repetitively screamed warning ” DANGER DANGER” . All in shock ,all discombobulated, the captain nervously ordered the crew . but before anyone could take action , something terrible had happened . . .

    Smoke steaming out all the thousand keyboards , corpses lying on the dusty,burnt floor .
    THUMP
    goes another light tube.
    You could say it WAS the end of the world, you’d be 100% right to say that.

      I’ve done Activity 1

      Activity 2:
      The moment they had feared was finally upon them: the electric storm had arrived. With the world in ruins, they began to board the ship in hope of salvation. Suddenly, a funny looking creature was talking to them it has 4 very big, round eyes, no ears, an orange sloppy mouth and some decent clo5thes, his name was Edgar. ” How may I help you today ?” blurted Edgar, while chewing on a piece of gum, that looked a bit like VOMIT!!! (EWWWW)
      “We are here to board the ship as a family,” said family.
      “What are your names?” said Edgar.
      “Stacey, Rob, Mum and dad,” murmured dad looking a bit suspicious.
      ” Come on into the finite ship (A .K.A know as the escape room) !?,” exclaimed Edgar, while pointing at the people passing by in a hurry to get to something. When they got in the really horrendous ship that in their heads they didn’t imagine it to be looking like this. They saw those funny little creatures like Edgar, but they saw Animals too, that we’re talking to each other.
      “This is so weird,” quietly said Stacey.
      “OH! This is going to get real,” hissed Rob.
      “Since you’re joining the ship our “Maze” crew would like to give you something” declared Edgar. In the distance. they were two gigantic aliens people, who were very familiar, ran towards them and deliver a huge chocolate cake…
      “OMG!,” all of them was screaming in despite. They tucked in their delicious chocolate cake, few seconds later 1… 2… 3… THEY ARE FINISHED ALL READY!!!! (by the way, it was delicious to eat)
      “WOAH! calm down (arrogant people) let me show you to your room,” exclaimed Edgar, while showing a smirk on his face.
      “He’s very extraordinary nice!!!,” hissed Mum, while walking down the hallway. “This is your escape room !?,” said Edgar.
      “Why does he always say MAZE OR ESCAPE ROOM were on holiday!!!! GOSH!,” angrily Dad said. As they walked in the room they saw a gigantic bedroom going on and on. As soon as they were in, Edgar slammed the door! ” Good luck with your escape room!” said Edgar.
      “OHHHH!!! come on its a holiday, not an ESCAPE ROOM !!!,” repeated Dad…
      After that, they yell for help! but nothing came.” Look at the window!?” Mum said looked confused. The family quickly ran to the window…
      After a while, ( well basically the next day) they didn’t realise a door next to the master bedroom that there was a door. They opened it mysteriously it was the space airport again!
      “Ummm… I think we are the Finite ship(A.K.A the maze and escape room)” exclaimed Rob and Stacey.
      ” OHHHHHHHHHHH!!! that’s why he kept on saying escape ship or maze ship,” shouted Dad.
      “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR” The family screamed…

      THE END
      Activity 3:

      What do you think is happening in the picture?

      It looks like the storm hit the ship.

      Why are the animals boarding the ship?

      To go on an adventure, while the storm hit the ship!

      Who built the ship? Why was it built?

      Maybe an alien because it looks like a space ship because it came from outer space

      How do you think the animals boarding the ship might be feeling? Will they have conflicting emotions?

      They might feel emotionally because they’re boarding a ship.

      Where do you think the ship is heading?

      They might be heading to outer space for more protection.

      Is it possible one day that humans will live somewhere other than the Earth?

      No, because if we live in outer space we won’t have oxygen unless we suit.

      By Khadijah!!!

    I’m thinking that it maybe broke because it was shocked and it broke.

    1. Mrs Ahmed

      Wow you and Saif have the exact same ideas.

      Maybe you can expand on “shocked” what type of shock. Also Gerry There are 6 questions, this requires a minimum of 6 sentences.

      Have another go! Would love to hear your ideas.

  6. Jessica M.

    Silver challenge:
    In the picture it looks like it’s a thunderstorm and there’s thunder coming from the sky.

    The animals are boarding the ship because there’s a thunderstorm coming.

    The ship was made for salvation.

    I’m not sure about the 4th question.

    The ship is heading to space to be safe from the thunderstorm.

    Yes it is impossible you cant go to space.

    1. Mrs Ahmed

      Question 4: how are the animals feeling whilst going into the ship? Are they happy, anxious, sad, nervous?

      Why might they be feeling that specific emotion?

  7. Saif K.

    I’m thinking that it maybe broke because the shocked and it broke

    1. Mrs Ahmed

      Saif, what is “it”?
      What is “the shocked”?

      Vocabulary: UFO, invasion, thunder, storm, electric shock, city, wreckage, aliens
