Dragonworld Pobble, WALT: to continue the story starter
Dragonworld
This was their favourite time of day to fly.
As the glowing, crimson sun dipped down below the vast horizon, retreating to allow night to take its place, the dragons took flight.
The sky looked beautiful: wisps of pillow-like clouds seemed to part in front of them as they flexed their powerful wings. Like sails from ancient ships, the wings beat in the dying embers of the sun’s fire, embracing what little warmth remained. Thousands of tiny scales that covered the beasts’ bodies glistened like rubies in the dazzling light.
As they reached full speed, leaving the world far beneath them, they almost grinned as they thought about where they were going. There would be others like them there. It would be paradise…
They thought there would be other dragons and they would be allies but unfortunately they thought wrong… After they arrived, which was 2 hours of flight until they arrived to a volcano but to them this has no effect as they are fire dragons, so they head on into the volcano they meet these black dragons about 5 of them and 1 bigger black dragon by the name of Vulthuryol an ancient dragon that can speak so intelligent in fact it taught it’s fellow dragons to speak too… They took one look at the 9 red dragons, and growled. BLACK, BLACK and also more BLACK. How were they going to get out of this….

Magic Biscuits Pobble
Magic Biscuits
Brian had often bought things from the market that had turned out to be the most outrageous, disappointing fakes.
He had presumed that the magic biscuits would have been exactly the same. How wrong he had been…
The dog biscuits he had bought from the market had made his dogs 3x the size. Then without warning the dogs ears became pointier and they turned grey… They had TURNED INTO A GIANT WOLF! But instead of behaving they didn’t leave him alone. Brian lived in a small town but a forest about 15 kilometres away stood there. The canines turned and looked in the direction of the woods, the dogs growled and turned to Brian’s direction. Brian needed a REVERSE SPELL!!!

The door flew open, a bear stood there with a confused expression on his face. “Uh hi.” Said Fazbear. “Can we stay here our pizzeria burnt down.” Said T.Freddy. “Sure.” He said with a small smile.

Black Panther, WALT: to write about a picture on the web or pobble
Black Panther
Black panther is a marvel superhero, from a non-realistic country by the name of Wakanda. He’s the prince of that country. It’s his responsibility to take care of people who live in Wakanda. Wakandans mine this fictional metal called Vibranium. Vibranium is what they use to make technology such as his suit which is made out of it. Black Panther is my favourite superhero.
