its the year of 2068 and robots are our best friends.it was school i jumped up because i don't want our ALIEN teacher to bellow about coming in on time ... AGAIN! i jumped on my hover scooter realising i left my pineapple-pad in my room. *just my luck* i thought to myself. when my robot brother came running out he chucked me my pineapple-pad and tapped his metal chest. the school horn went sending an earthquake of noise around the city.

Welcome to the blog, Katie! I wonder what a pineapple pad looks like? Is it an upgrade on an apple? Sounds great!

You have lots of great ideas. Make sure you edit your work for capitals and full stops - we have an audience of thousands!

It is the year 2068. My school is in the clouds and the houses are made out of wooly jumpers. I travel to school in an engine powered scooter with 500 seats ( It is called theES567). We each have a highly trained helmet that is like a calculator. In addition, we have a enormous touch screen whiteboard that helps us learn to read in 0.0000000000001 seconds.

Charlotte

24/5/2012 09:12:59 am

Continuing the one before!

On the top floor is where teachers park their ES567's. Furthermore it has a lift down the side of the building which is cotrolled by the G7J2 robot which is the worlds quikest job doing robot. As well as this, it has 1 huge room which is the classroom and it can fit 500 children in it. (It is Fantastic!)

Mr Temple

25/5/2012 08:10:28 am

Do you get paid for driving the ES567? It sounds interesting. Our class will shortly be getting a whiteboard like that.

I want one of those helmets....

Communications had vasty improved and Drew knew he could get in touch with his friends just by thinking about them. Huge, metal spaceships zoomed overhead as Drew walked towards the town square. It hadnt been the same, since the aliens landed from Mars, but Drew knew there was nothing that the humans could do. He glanced up at the huge holograph screen that was directing him towards the new prisons.. Slowly, and reluctantly he marched on...

Fantastic 100 word challenge Mr Patterson!

Mr Temple

25/5/2012 08:13:16 am

Sounds like a frightening vision of the future. The ending was great. I wonder if he is alone as he heads to prison?

Mr Patterson

24/5/2012 09:07:06 am

Great to see you taking part Rachel. I cant wait for 2068 if iPads are going to be bigger!
Dont forget, to add punctuation to your writing when you are online.

It is the year 2068 and the cyberbots have taken over the world. Even my school has resorted to being underground to protect us all from the cyberbots. In the classroom, the walls are all touch panels and use a 'eye contact beam' which works when you look at something on the screen and close your eyes and then open them again it selects what you looked at. ( it's amazing)!

Charlotte

24/5/2012 09:18:23 am

Cool 100 word challenge Tyler!

Mr Temple

27/5/2012 11:34:58 am

Clicking with your eyes - what a fantastic idea! So if cyberbots have taken over the world, are all humans living underground. That would make us like rats! I wonder how you might defeat cyberbots? Imaginative ideas, well done!

sophie

24/5/2012 09:18:09 am

in 2068 It would be green nealy with all off the aliens coming the hole place would be destreoied . Most off us would live up in the sky where all the people would talk to you saying "hello how are u are you new i havent seen you" you would be panacing the children would have to lern with there fingers but if your realy lucky and you have some books left off maths then you can lern and with a calculater. I would just not like that to happen you would have great fun through when new toys get invented like jigantic i pods come out so 3 people could play on 1 . Also you could get a phone thst is 3D but it would be great for children to have games on there phone. (Its so entertaning for kids ! )

Mr Patterson

25/5/2012 01:02:09 am

Well done Sophie, you have made 2068 sound very tempting and I like the sound of gigantic iPods for more than one person to play on. Good use of punctuation, but make sure you dont miss any full stops as well. Your second sentence is quite long.

Lauren

26/5/2012 04:32:20 am

It's the year 2068 and school's have been improved. The teachers do not just have white boards or black boards they have a robot like computer and you don't even have to use a keyboard or mouse, all you have to do is speak any think like you tube and it will automaticly go there!! Also the children has mind-controlled pens thus they only has to think then the pen will write it down. If you make a mistike you can rub it out with a pen rubber. In addition to this, the teachers are adroids however the head is a extraterrestrial from the planet named T5.C22 which is in deep outer space.

Mr Temple

27/5/2012 11:37:32 am

The idea of mind-controlled pens is interesting - how much do you think you could write in 1 lesson? I wonder what lessons children have.

Great use of openers and which sentences!

Drew

24/5/2012 12:55:52 pm

GOOD!!!!!!

Mr Patterson

25/5/2012 01:04:12 am

A good start Shay. I like your description of a dusty world with no rain,

Remember this is a 100 word challenge, so try to write 100 words if you can next time.

Drew Lake

24/5/2012 12:54:03 pm

In 2068 there will be grass as green as my school jumper. There will be 1000's and 1000's of buildings for all the people to live in. Aliens in there gigantic spaceship's will fly high in the air and take over the world and the humans couldnt do anything about IT! There will also be martians, monsters, giant green beans, killer carrotts, deadly broccoli and toxic tomatoes. Ipads will be usefull for working on at school and also communication with friends and family or anybody in the world.

Mr Patterson

25/5/2012 01:05:48 am

A fantastic description of the world in the future Drew!
Excellent start, and a great simile. Good man! Your writing would make an excellent start to a story Drew.
Next time can you try to use extra punctuation. (You used . and ! this time)

Drew

30/5/2012 12:32:28 pm

Thank you!!!.

Connor

In 2068 the school hovers 10,000ft in the sky, there is a school hover bus for kids who dont have a Scoover which is a scooter that hovers.

Mr Patterson

25/5/2012 01:06:39 am

Great start Connor. I love the idea of a Scoover, clever thinking.
Remember this is a 100 word challenge, so can you manage to write a little more next time?

Luke link

It's the year 2068. T-645 Primary School is floating high in the clouds. People are arriving to school in their hover vechiles. The school is highly populated with robots and extraterrestrial beigns. In stead of whiteboards, the teacher uses a large Ipad like thing. Many pupils are from alternate universes. The school has a large simulation room on the bottom floor. The Headteacher is a bionic cyborg from an alternate universe named P67-HT3, which is hovering in deep space. Ipads and Ipods are like plasma screen TV's. Many robots can travel faster than the speed of light and can carve faces into little moons and comets. The school has 4 huge floors fitted with 52 classrooms to hold 967 pupils. There is 104 teachers who are all androids. Many kids use 67H-FGR helmets to complete their lessons.

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:11:58 am

I wonder what a FGR helmet looks like? I'm sure it has a screen inside. Does it remove the need for a pen? I would love to see a sketch of one.

Terrific use of numbers to make you sound like an expert, Luke; in fact, you might be a bionic cyborg!

jade link

25/5/2012 03:28:36 pm

The world is a stranger compared to now. Imagine flying rocket cars with additional upgrades and stylings. Think of hover boards replacing bikes, skateboards and scooters. The unfortunate people, who live near the sky-way, hear the terrible noise of super nano powered automobiles and the smell of the black hole petrol that is used. This is the new world...

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:14:03 am

An excellent piece of personification to start your 'imagine' list!

Is it a utopia or a dystopia? (look it up if you're not sure!) Your last sentence suggests a dystopia....

Lauren

26/5/2012 02:06:02 am

in 2068 the sky is green the grass is blue and people turn to aliens and dogs turn to space ships and cars no longer eggsist cartoons come to life,houses are lime stone and my school is made of marble and tv's mite never egzist again stuffed toys mite come to life and puppets could get scaryer and water mite be durty,really hard to drink and food could be steal as rock so hard to eat you mite never see a cartoon again santa could never come back and my friends and move far away so I could never see them again and more people could of died with really bad dieses or could be really bad so they died.

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:15:52 am

It sounds like a frightening world you have created! No TVs? Stuffed toys coming to life? Arrrgghhh!

Some terrific ideas, but don't forget every couple of lines need a full stops!

2TPs for contributing a blog post!

The houses are made out of bloutack and the fruit is big as a truck.
the worms are as big as pipe cleaners. You can take a ipad to school and robots rule the erth.

Shannon-Jo link

26/5/2012 03:15:16 am

It is the year 2068. The school hovered above the clouds and the teachers were robots. There was 7500 children in this enormous school and each and every child had their own ipad to read and right. Furthermore, cars nolonger existed, instead of cars you could get around quickly on hoverboots. In addition, you could communicate with each other through solar panelled helmets from miles away. Girls’ make-up was luminous and you could see in the dark with it on. In the HJ626 there lived 5 secret agents (all girls). Also, they had laser light lipstick to capture the little boys and girls.

Lauren

thanks Lauren. xx :)

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:17:52 am

An interesting description of the setting. I enjoyed the hover boots and solar panelled helmets ideas. I wonder who the secret agents are? It is an intriguing start to a story.

Lauren

26/5/2012 04:47:08 am

in 2068 peole are robots and pets are aliens and cars are bins and electricity is gone so people can't go online because there is no power left again you had no beds left so you had to sleep on flour or worse ground you had to wear ripped cloths and walked round bear foot there was no clocks or fire places so you had to warm your selve up and no seties had to sit on floor houses didn't anymore so you had to live in a little shed and no toys or anything to play with like dolls or action figers or and thing to play with so kids had hardly anything to do.

Mr Patterson

31/5/2012 03:17:17 am

Great ideas for the future Lauren. Im not sure I could manage without being able to go online! A very interesting idea to make the world worse in the future than it is now.

Can you think about what might have happened to make the world a harder place to live?

Katy

26/5/2012 12:32:48 pm

It is the year 2068 and we live in a giant spaceship that travelles around the galaxy, meeting aliens and other new life forms. The ship is filled with everything people need to survive, like food that a special robot makes, there is even a special robot that makes water for all the people and animals that survive on the ship which is called the PURPLE SMURF. This ship has gold and silver walls and floors also it has giant rooms with every enviroment that used to be on earth.

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:19:48 am

Great ideas about the different rooms having different environments.

I wonder how big the ship is? How many people live on it?

Rhiannon Telford

27/5/2012 03:06:16 am

It is the year 2068 and we all live in a giant spaceship that travelles around the galaxy, meeting aliens and other robotit things to find and be friends with.The ship is filled with all of my friends in the world (charlotte india and abbi and jasmine). All of a sudden abbi and jasmine fell out of the spaceship ... ALL OF US jumped out of the spaceship to save them and that was the end of abbi and jasmine they were GONE!!!!

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:20:31 am

This sounds the whole story, but I like your entry underneath!

Brooke Telford

27/5/2012 03:38:50 am

It is 2068 we live in the sky and your cars can fly. Also ther is not a shop because everything we see we can eat and drink. Also you can not go to school as i will be to old. Also you do not have police because we live in a better world with no crime. We can go back in time. Also you do not have a TV or a DVD player because everyone works or plays together. Also we have a lot of sun and rain.

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:21:59 am

Some good ideas, Brooke. Your sentences use full stops very well and I like the opener : Also,

Could you use other words like : In addition, or Furthermore,

I'm sure Mr Patterson would be very impressed!

In the year 2068 there is hover scooters all over the world insted of cars.There is lots of transport such as hover train,p-991,hover bike,hover scooter and lots more.There are cyborgs and extra terrestrial men and woman.We all live in the clouds it is really high so if you fall of there is no coming back up.At school we use ipad-56's and 160'inch tv's also at school we have our own voice actavated rooms its amazing in 2068.

Rhiannon Telford

27/5/2012 04:29:45 am

It is 2068 when world has changed, we all live in a a shipwreck called the Launchpad 35228 me and my friends call it the black beauty.We live underwater where you can see lots of beautiful coloured fish.The fish are robotic life forms.There are underwater buses,cars,submarine and hovercraft.The school kids help them learn with a doctor who item called The class item to help kids.You can have lots of fun by kicking Mr Chips the robot teacher and pinching and pulling off his arms it is really funny once me and Abbi stole his arms and legs in class so he could'nt get up and teach.We have ipads,mobiles,ipods and blackberrys and we post our homework on facebook to help us.

nathan palmer link

27/5/2012 05:10:31 am

in 2068 i think we may be living underground and it will be sandy like the desert. we would only come out on a night time to look for food as wild creatures roam the land feeding of us humans.

nathan palmer link

27/5/2012 05:25:27 am

in 2068 we will be living underground because it was too hot to live outside and only coming out when it is dark and cooler to look for food. We have to be careful as the the big creatures roaming the land feed of us. It is very sandy like the desert so all towns are underground. The schools had all the new computers with all kids using ipads. trains ran underground because they would overheat because of the sun, They were used to take us from town to town to visit freinds and family.

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:25:10 am

Great idea about living underground! Those creatures sound scary! What do they look like?

india

27/5/2012 11:01:20 am

It is the year 2068. The school is now hovered above the clouds and there are robots and aliens as teachers. There is 900,000 children in this tenolicgal school and every child had their own ipad 3000 on there backs. also, cars nolonger existed, instead you go thrugh a taransporting tunnel. Girls still wear make-up and you could see in the dark with it on , and the boys still jel there hair. also there is 700,000 teachers, which are robots from planet zob!!

Mr Temple

28/5/2012 09:27:45 am

Well done for combining new technological features, with current items (make up and hair gel!) A transporter tunnel sounds great....

jay p ;)

27/5/2012 01:33:50 pm

It is year 2068.The schools are hovering above the clouds and most people or robots or aliens! In one school there are965,765. If you join the school dfe,t34 you get your own ipad 3456. Do you want one? My house is under ground so I have to get the teleporter 2317 to school. The school has 69 flours so we use the hover boards to get the top.(it's fun!) School starts at 7:00AM and finishes at 5:30,however some days can be really fun.Although day can be boring, some days are fun because you get lessons how to use the teleporter! (yipee)

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:23:51 am

Lots of great sci-fi language: teleporters, hover boards.

Terrific punctuation too, especially the comma with your although.

You use 'fun' and 'boring' a lot. What about dull and interesting/exhilarating?

Jasmine

27/5/2012 03:18:59 pm

In the year 2068 all the earth has changed and school is now above the clouds. All the teachers are holograms, homework is a thing of the past and school only lasts fot twenty minutes a day, however in twenty minutes we learn more than in a whole school week of the past, from time to time you see the odd flying saucer pass by with men a little unlike us driving them.
To get to school we have to travel in a flying car, which has two turbo jet engines.
The children also receive an iPhone twelve that will give them a chance to learn out of school, whilst it being fun.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:25:49 am

School for 20 minutes but you learn so much! What's the secret? I like the idea of the iPhone 12 and flying saucers and teachers as holograms. I wonder how you pass the remainder of your time if school is done in 20 minutes.

jamie (uk)

28/5/2012 12:50:58 am

In 2068 Tanfield Lea Community Primary School was hovering in the sky. In the school there was 52 inch tv's at every work station,which they controled with there eyes. There was a car park on the roof were everyone parked their hover scooter, hover bikes and hover boards. There are 8 classrooms, which can hold a maximum of 250 pupils in each classroom. There is a crazy teacher in one class called Mrs Woogieflip-331. The 331 stands for what number robot she was.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:27:28 am

Terrific ideas Jamie. Excellent punctuation. I wonder what makes Mrs Woogieflip so crazy? Try to use a few more openers like Although and others.

rebecca violet

28/5/2012 05:26:53 am

imagine what the tv would look like. but world would of ended. I would be dead and u.f.o,swould off landed

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:28:39 am

A good start Rebecca. Could you explain what the TV would look like? Can you enter a virtual world by stepping into your TV for example?

Roan Huntsman

28/5/2012 12:24:19 pm

My home is in the clouds and connected to earth by a large cable which gives it electricty. The school is on the ground but there is no land left around it. I travel to schoole on a flying scooter, called a JD space hopper. The days are dark as well as the night time but there are flying spaceships which light up the place with bright lights.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:29:43 am

I love the idea of the large cable which gives the clouds electricity. Also, a futuristic space hopper. Well done!

Taylor Little

28/5/2012 01:21:07 pm

It is 2068 our school is now underground and very tall. The teachers are aliens and very scary! Everybody is magical and just thinks about where they want to go and gets there. The food is magical as well if you say what you want to eat it will appear to you.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:30:53 am

No change about the teachers then! I particularly like the idea of thinking what food you would like and it appearing. Does it come from a vending machine or a robot servant?

shannon-marie

29/5/2012 12:15:35 am

it is the year 2068 people are green androids and 67% of children are aliens. Schools are underground with camouflager force fields surrounding them. green grass is now purple and all animals live underwater such as cats,dogs,ferrets and hamsters.Food will appear to you whenever you ask.houses and schools are 8-12 stories high.in one of the schools there are 26,123 pupils and 4000teachers.the children have 75 minutes of school in there day all learning about 2012. there are no jelly fish,sharks or dolphins because wild animals have to share the amazing,beautiful ocean.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:32:17 am

Imagine history lessons about 2012. Children in the future will be amused by our 'old-fashioned' mobiles and TVs! You really sound like an expert about the future - well done!

jamie miley

29/5/2012 12:20:38 am

in future they might be aliens flying above when you are committing together.

jamie miley

29/5/2012 12:32:13 am

it is 2068 and the world has changed also we are living on air you learn at school we learn with numbers and more for transport you can see lorrys cars /van/trains.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:34:02 am

Thanks for your ideas, Jamie. Will those aliens be driving lorries and cars? What technology will we have?

Tia Bailey

29/5/2012 01:12:30 am

It is 2068 they was no sun at is snowed all the time.The only animals living was Panda's,giraffe's, dog's,cats and penguin's and gobbley's to, Gobbley's are an animal that is green and has soft red fur and they are SO CUTE they don't bite or scratch.When you walk in you house and say light's the light come on by it's self. If you wanted a small house you would haft to pay £50 and a medium house £80 but if you wanted a Mansion you would haft to pay £200 and you would get £100 off. You school lessons would be and in this order art playtime math's reading dinner/playtime p.e. I.C.T P.E..
Your cup's would look red and shaped in to a panda.

Mr Temple

29/5/2012 02:36:09 am

Some imaginative ideas about the future, especially Gobbleys. I would love to see a sketch of one. Terrific punctuation too! Automatic light switches sound very possible. I'm glad to see most of the lessons are the same though. What special futuristic equipment might schools have.

courtney

29/5/2012 12:35:26 pm

it is year 2068 you live up in the clouds .The only animals that live there are gremlins they are fluffy and cute.We get around on cloud buggys they run on air for fuel.you only go to school one day a week MINT .Mobiles have no buttons you say a text it writes it for you.

Mr Temple

30/5/2012 01:14:39 am

Cloud buggies sound fantastic! It would be much cheaper if they ran on air too.

Could you uplevel 'MINT' to a better word?
