Wydown Orientation

Our trip to Wydown taught us a lot about next year. We parked in the garage and then rushed to the auditorium, not forgetting to grab a pamphlet. I grabbed a seat next to Ava. We waited for the orientation to start by talking about the school. Soon enough, the lights dimmed and the crowd fell silent. Jamie Jordan, accompanied by Doug Weiner, trotted onto the stage. She gave us a welcome speech and introduced us to Mr. Weiner. He will be our grade level principal. She explained the color-code of the pamphlet and sent us on our way to follow the 8th graders to the classrooms. I had social studies first. It was super fun to see Mrs. Miller do all of the crazy costume changes! Next we went to literacy and learned about all the fun projects we'll do. Then in science, we watched a video of kids doing labs and going on field trips. Next, in math, we compared 6th grade to 5th, and discovered we are in for a lot of homework. Then I went to spanish/french to learn how the current 6th graders like middle school languages better than the spanish classes we currently get. Lastly, I went to Main Street to hear what all the elective teachers had to say. There are so many choices! I am overwhelmed by all of it! I saw: Drama, chorus, art, exploratorium, band, orchestra, ELL, and they were all persuading. Middle school is super exiting and I can't wait to start!

Middle School Orientation

           By Ken

On Thursday night a lot of 5th graders from the clayton school district came to Wydown Middle School to learn about wydown. When we got to Wydown some students gave us this piece of paper, it was blue. Me and my mom went into the the theater room. We sat their for a few minutes, until a guy came up stage and started talking about what was gonna happen. He explained that the piece of paper you got at the entrance if you had a color like blue you would be in group D. Me and my mom was in group D, the guy also explained that a 8th grader is gonna be the people that you will follow. So me and my mom and a bunch of parents and kids in group D were going to the math room first. One of the math teacher’s explained what was going to happen in 6th grade math. Then we went to the language room. One of the teachers showed us a video that showed students talking about why they choose the language and why they liked it. After that we went to the social studies room the teacher explained about 6th grade social studies. Then we went to the reading/writing room. We got to sit in beanbags and pillows. The teacher showed a slide and video showing 6th graders talking. Then we went the lunch room were a bunch of people sitting at tables explaining about school clubs. Then we went to the science room and the teachers explained about science showed a video showing 6th graders working and 6th graders at field trips. After that I went home with my mom.   

The Fire 100WC Ollie

I was stuck in the building. Fire blocked every door I ran up to the roof and cried for help soon the was fire truck but, they were not any old fireman they were special. They had backpacks with wings that helped them fly high to the roof. The smoke was getting stronger and stronger. I soon fainted because of the smoke. The last I saw before I fainted was the fire man reaching for me. When I woke up I was in hospital bed looking up at the ceiling. I sat up and saw my family.

The Rebels 100WC

The nine worlds were under attack. Terror was spread across the lands, like butter spread onto bread. The rebels from a distant galaxy hated the nine worlds, and were ever so jealous of their precocious belongings and way of life. They assumed the only thing that they were to do was to plant an attack. In that time and place jealousy was something to be very mad about. The side that was jealous would attack the side they were jealous of. As perfect as this was for the rebels, there was much controversy about it. The rebels had a plan. they would bomb the city.

100 WC: The Rescue

The  Rescue

By Robert

The lightbulb popped and in a flash the building was lit flames roared and the lady ran away from the air stealing fire.She cradled the baby as the fire was burning her apartment. The bat winged firemen flew to the rescue and one of them took the baby to the crowd of people watching this horrid event. The lady screamed in panic and swiftly they set the red trampoline. The five firemen threw her to the trampoline and she hit the trampoline head first.

She flew in the air with a parachute and landed safely.   

Chocolate Milk

We are writing about the argument of the chocolate milk discussion.

Edward thinks that chocolate milk should be in school because I like it and also it would be crazy if they took chocolate milk away and no one would drink regular milk.

Aidan's thoughts are that, they should keep chocolate milk in school because no one would buy the regular milk. It shows that 29% more of the milk was wasted when they took away chocolate milk.

my thoughts about the chocolate milk is that I can not drink chocolate milk but it would be not fair for the other chocolate milk drinkers. The milk population of white milk would overpopulate and it would be bad because kids would not drink unflavored milk.

the Rescue

the fire clouded the woman's vision, the smoke rising.The woman ran to the balcony, where the
firemen would be able do see her. Soon, through the smoke,the woman could see the wings and the hose of a fire truck, And then, through the smoke, came the firemen. They had the wings of a birds and yet still wore the common firemen outfit. One firemen started to put out the fire, while the other grabbed the woman's child, then the woman. They then grabbed all her values and important thing then exited the building. they took the wings off and left.
