This week for maths we played a game called Battle Sheets. Battle Sheets is the same to Battle Ships but different because it's on a Google Spreadsheet. We had to play with a person. I battled Christopher and I won. What you have to do is you have to place your ships anywhere. There is a Aircraft Carrier,Battleship,Cruiser,Destroyer and a Frigate. Your partner that your playing with is not allowed to look at your battleships or else they will keep on hitting you and you might hit or miss.

Haunted House

It was a cold windy night in the City where darkness filled the streets, barely anyone outside.

One night, 3 friends wanted to go camping, so they went camping in the woods. Luke, James and Taylor were camping near a Haunted House, which they didn’t know.

They went on a walk around with their bags in the woods to find a place where they could stay at. In the middle of the woods. They thought that this was a perfect place to stay in.

James went up to the door and knocked three times while Jack and Taylor were standing at the back of him. It opened by itself, and Luke said “ Hello, is anyone here?” They all entered. All of a sudden, the door closed. They tried to open it, but they couldn’t. They all became scared, but luckily, Taylor came with a flashlight. Taylor was the only one that was not scared of the dark. There was finally light, and everything looked creepy. Blood was everywhere, and spiders crawled on the floor. They then split up to look for things that could be useful.

Luke and Jack went upstairs, where they saw a casket in a room. Jack went up to the casket and opened it.  A Vampire with poisonous teeth shockingly rose up and bit Jack in the arm.Jack nearly died.But luckily Luke found a first aid kit and neutralised the poison.Luke ran and closed the casket and took Jack downstairs. They both got downstairs, where Taylor was nowhere to be seen. They walked around to try and find him, but not a single sight of him.  They went in the living room and saw a zombie on the couch. There was blood everywhere. The TV was on.They went passed the zombie and went into the room where Taylor was at. A creepy lady was doing something to Taylor so Jack went to the kitchen and got a frying pan and whacked the lady in the head. Then they got taylor and took their bags and went home. They never return to the haunted house again.
