From the beginning of time, a young man has been collecting small model figures. He had all the pop figures but one, which he didn’t recognise, so he wasn’t sure if he should buy it. After months of thinking he bought it, was pleased, and so he had them all. from boum32 __________________________________________________________________________ My dog barked. I went downstairs and saw a transparent figure floating on the stairs. She was screaming and scared. I thought it was just a doll but it wasn’t. I screamed too! She stopped and looked at me, and said, “Who are you?” I said kindly, “I’m your friend”.

I’m lying on my bed, thinking of the dreadful day I had today. Looking out of my window, I see a figure flying straight at me. When it arrives at my window I’ll jump on it and join its flight.

Gangster cookie This night the cookie box has disappeared: the red ant who guards the cookie box was saying that she has been attacked by the cookie gang, the most dangerous cookie gangstas. They love cookies. If you see one, call Catie, cat policewoman! She stops all the cookie gangs. from coco 2000 ______________________________________________________________ My dog looked at me with hopeful, pleading eyes. I was at the table eating cookies. I needed to hurry, for tennis. I ate one cookie, left the second and sprinted out. When I came back it wasn’t there. Django hadn’t moved but I was 100% sure it was him! By Cookie.07 ______________________________________________________________ One windy morning the cookies were gone! “I thought it was Bear,” I said. I went to see him. “Where did you put the cookies?” He said, “I didn’t take the cookies!” We went to see Fox. We said, “Where did you put the cookies?” “In my tummy!” she replied. By Lol

C ookie.07 chose the best beginning last week. This is what she wrote: "This was a difficult choice because they were all really good, however I chose Squigly’s beginning because the question was interesting, different and intriguing. I nominate Squigly to choose the best beginning next week."

My story starts in a coca cola bar, the name of the bar is Drink Coca Cola All Your Life. This bear drinking coca cola is the boss of the bar: his name is Cofa. He lives here and drinks only here. I have to go, to drink coca cola! by coco2000 __________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly a huge bear’s head popped out in front of me! It seemed very curious. I was scared, but it didn’t look threatening. I got off the bench and he jumped off the tree. I touched him softly and ran away; he ran after me. We ended up playing tag! Cookie.07 __________________________________________________________________________ This morning, I saw a sad, pink, blue and white bear. I said, “Are you sad?” “Yes.” “Come with me.” He saw lots of bears but he hated them because they teased him, so I said, “Do you want to be my friend?” “Yes I do.” He was happy again.

Have we already cloned? We have cloned lots of different species of animals, for example: sheep cats horses monkeys What is cloning? Cloning is making a duplicate of a living animal or plant. An example of natural cloning is identical twins, and bees, ants and plants can also clone themselves. Scientist clone in labs for hygienic reasons. Despite the fact cloning is very expensive, it doesn't always work. Why do we clone? We clone to: bring extinct animals back to life. get more food from farm animals for example meat or milk (cow). understand the role of genes in our body. recreate a pet you loved. duplicate powerful champion animals. Are there any laws? Cloning can not just be done; there are laws. In 2001, the USA said no human could be cloned. Britain said that we could clone cells to make medicine but not for reproduction. Can cloning be dangerous? Cloning can be dangerous because clones do not always survive or can have serious health problems! Clo
