The Flying Dutchman by Nathan and Victor

Flying Dutchman Report

We have been testing out our glider, the first time it was unsuccessful because when we threw it, the plane was not compatible with the thrusting technique. We tested the boomerang throw three times and only one was successful. Then we gently threw it once and afterwards we completed our objective, but we are still using every minute to try and improve our plane.

Great Writing Victor

This is the introduction to Victor's narrative story, Me Being Me. Victor has clearly hooked the reader with his descriptive language and is painting a picture in the readers mind.
Well done Victor on some excellent writing.

The moon emerged from the dark ocean, and hovered into the shaded sky,  radiating its pale glowing face to the world. It’s reflection shimmered on the gleaming surface of the lake in Quetico Park. The roots of the towering pine trees clutched on the drenched soil, the numerous dazzling stars were displayed on the boundless sky. The view brings great pleasure in front of my eyes, but I will never go there again.

Colossus The Giant Flying Shark by Victor P

Colossus The Giant Flying Shark

Colossus the mighty, magnificent, massive great white shark.

When Colossus is on the loose in the waters of ‘Seal Island,’ seals go insane and not only them, even smaller great whites despair of taking the first engaging strike to their prey, and if they don’t Colossus will execute any great white shark that rebels against him. Colossus eats whatever he wants even his own kind if they don’t give way to him. He has his own personality and not only him, every great white has a personality.

Colossus discovered a new special ability that great white sharks from Seal Island perform. The sharks can swim deep underwater to camouflage themselves while stalking their prey, and breach above the water to catch the cape fur seal in it’s menacing mouth. Colossus used this treacherous technique countless times. Great white sharks have numerous hunting strategies and there is a rare attack called tail whip that they use while hunting intruders which shows dominance.

Shark experts wanted to know more about Colossus and they wanted something to take a clear picture of him while preventing themselves from getting eaten or hurt. So the experts made a robotic seal so they don’t have to risk any divers getting hurt. They put cameras on the robo seal to get a clip of what is happening underwater. After they threw the robo seal in the ocean sharks started swimming around the robo seal tail whipping it. After minutes of tail whipping Colossus charged unrelentingly from below the ocean and crunched the robo seal leaving it completely obliterated in one bite and left the experts astonished. Great white sharks are powerful and getting hit by a great white is like getting hit by a small car and leaving you deformed. Its charging speed is 1000km per hour! The monster’s G-Force/Impact power is 3000 pounds or 29Gs!

Colossus has vanished from Seal Island and he has gone off without a warning. Shark experts have found out that the sharks have gone 50 miles from to the east to another hunting ground. The name of that place is named ‘Shark Reef.’ The shark experts know that if they have moved away from Seal Island there must have been another better food resource. They have discovered that ‘smooth hound sharks’ live there and a great white shark’s favourite food, is a succulent smooth hound shark.

The experts suspect that Colossus is very curious about them because he has been destroying their gadgets and showing-off to them. He has been keeping two eyes on what the researchers are up to and is very suspicious.

Colossus is not just a killing machine he has his own personality and is intelligent. He has the skills and the size to prove he can be dominant, but he leaves the scientists with a lot of questions. Were the researches studying him? Or was Colossus studying them?
