Weekly Competition #5

12 October 2018

WINNERS ANNOUNCED:
cultured_atom and neat_kiwifruit

Well done to all of the creative storytellers who entered this competition! There was a serious cat theme but there were some strikingly creative entries along the way too.

Cultured_atom used skillful storytelling and stuck strictly to the 30 word limit to tell the tale of a curious mind. We thought it was great! Introspective_bilberry was also a winner. They used a perfect poem to tell us about the journey that curiosity can you lead us on. It was brilliant!

You can read the winning entries in the orange boxes below.

WEEKLY COMPETITION #5:
A 30 word story about curiosity

This week, the competition's focus is on storytelling and curiosity. The challenge is quality rather than quantity. So, can you tell a story about curiosity in just 30 words? You can interpret that in any way you want and be as creative as you like! Here's my try:

They say that ‘curiosity killed the cat’, but they don’t know what really happened. I was lurking in the shadows last night, and saw the villain arrive, quiet as anything.

Have a go! A primary and secondary winner will be announced next Friday.

    I was really worried about that man last night, meanwhile when I was lurking someone came and did something very strange.

    STOP IT!

  • chatty_temperature | St Edward's Catholic Primary School | United Kingdom 06 Oct 2018

    There was a very ancient saying: Curiosity killed the cat.

    I lay on his back and considered this .I had no idea what a cat was or why curiosity would kill one,but I did empathise completely with that proverbial creature.
    " If you move," said the voice above me " I will crush your throat." I lay very still beneath the weight of the man on top of me...
    Some say curiosity did kill the cat ,some say it didn't,but there are also other stories behind this one that no one knows.

  • introspective_bilberry | Ormiston Bushfield Academy A | United Kingdom | United Kingdom 06 Oct 2018

    We knew she had a secret,
    Which she said that no one knew.
    Yet the day that she said that
    Something happened...

    and no one ever knew.

    36 bounds of curiousity opens the floodgates of our cove.

  • credible_insect | Ormiston Bushfield Academy A | United Kingdom | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    They say that 'curiosity started a war' but did it start on its own?
    A secret in the corner
    Lurking in the dark
    Guns and weapons
    But where did they start?

  • balloon Claire @ Topical Talk 08 Oct 2018

    What a great challenge! I found it really hard to stick to 30 words.

    Here's my go at a 30-word story:
    Yesterday I passed a snail wearing a top-hat. I asked him where he was going, dressed so smartly? His brother’s birthday party, he said. I joined them for delicious cake.

  • congenial_theory | St Edward's Catholic Primary School | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    Today I passed a homeless man, he was suffering for food, I gave him some money, he got a pack of crisps. A man said what "what are you doing out here come with me?" the man joined with him and got himself a home. I was happy for the homeless man.

    I was walking in the forest, and met a squirrel. I asked it where it was going, because it was speeding towards the trees. He said he is going shopping.

    Curiosity leads to death. Death leads to curiosity. This is how an science-obsessed found it:Found the end of his time on Earth. Never be curious... NEVER IN LIFE!!!

  • good_moth | Maritime Academy | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    They say curiosity killed the cat,but they never said how or why it died.This concerned me as it could mean anything ,this is why I was extremely confused.

  • great_brain | Maritime Academy | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    I think that the cat could get killed by curiosity because if he is curios about something dangerous and someone is the villain he can be killed by the villain...

  • digital_brain | Maritime Academy | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    I will find out my 11+ results tonight I’m so excited for the surprise I get if I pass. Any ideas of my prize But education is more important!!!

    Curiosity leads to death. Death leads to curiosity. The fog deepened as I cautiously roamed the graveyard. The trees didn’t move. As if they were dead. Bushes rustled in the moonlight.

  • great_brain | Maritime Academy | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    I think that you did the right thing because everyone has the chance to be equal🙂

  • loving_attitude | Maritime Academy | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

    It doesn’t matter how many paragraphs you write or how many lines you write you could write a few sentences and make a masterpiece! As long as you try your hardest, then you can do anything you put your mind to. No one can tell you that you have to write a lot for it to be amazing. The other week, I did my 11 plus and my dad asked me how many pages I wrote. I thought he was disappointed in me but it doesn’t matter how much you write. It is quality over quantity.

  • great_brain | Maritime Academy | United Kingdom 08 Oct 2018

  • tough_nature | British Council School, Madrid | Spain 09 Oct 2018

    Curiosity, in my opinion i would say curiosity depends on every ones mind. So this can be the way someone has planned their lives. In some other ways it might be that someone wants to know something.

    A few days ago, my nan and I was baking in her kitchen when her dog ran outside with curiosity. We followed her out in to the garden and all she did was sit by the fence so we went back in. Later my nans dog came back in and tugged my trousers so I followed her and found a hurt hedgehog laying in a hole I called my nan and we saved the hedgehog. So curiosity actually helped a little baby hedgehog.

    "Curiosity killed the cat". A drunken and poor driver ran over a cat searching for food and hid the evidence. The young child sobbed her eyes out at her loss.

  • clever_atom | Faringdon Community College | United Kingdom | United Kingdom 09 Oct 2018

    "Curiosity killed the cat". Curiosity technically cannot kill a cat because a cat has nine lives therefore the saying should be changed to a different being or animal. It is only a saying though.

  • fantastic_duck | Faringdon Community College | United Kingdom | United Kingdom 09 Oct 2018

    If we weren't curious, we would make mistakes never,
    But if we were never curious,
    if we didn’t make mistakes or risks,
    we would stay clueless and unknowledgeable forever.

    I think that this means a man had been had been figuring out a plot made by some villians but was captured and killed. Another man had witnessed his death.

    They say curiosity killed me
    Yet that's what they see
    I was walking to the shop
    And suddenly I heard a loud POP!
    It was a bat!
    Chasing a rat!

He went to the pier at the beach to find some fish to eat. he looked around, but couldn't find any food to eat ,so he wandered home and on the way he spotted a mouse to catch and bring it home for a present, his owner was curious why he thought that was a nice thing to bring into a home.

    Curiosity can be your downfall. It can lead you into the frozen-over lake, over the thin ice. But curiosity can be your ability, if you learn to control it.

    They say that curiosity killed the cat; do they know how it got killed? A dark, slender figure hid in the cupboard, waiting to answer to the cat's curious mind......

    They say curiosity killed the cat yet how did the cat pass. Was it the cat's curiousness or was it what was waiting for it the whole time...

  • incredible_seagull | Ormiston Bushfield Academy A | United Kingdom | United Kingdom 11 Oct 2018

    Curiosity did not kill the cat as the real culprit was hiding in the shadows ready to pounce I know this because curiosity led me to watching from above...

    Although curiosity is said to have killed the cat.
    What would happen if we hid it under a hat?
    With no sense of exploration,
    We would acquire no more information.

    but that is what they think

    I see a dog
    Getting hit by a log
    And then I lastly hear a POP

    Ignore my other comment. They all talk about how curiosity killed me:
    but that is what they think
    So one day i was walking down the street.
    To see a cat that is weak
    So i went over to see
    I saw something beastly
    and the last thing I saw was a bumblebee

    He stepped
    She stepped

    she stood inside
    he tapped the glass
    He was now inside
    -curiosity trapped the man-

    The world turned sideways
    The cars broke down
    Thunder and lightning ruled the sky
    But still she walked forwards
    Hoping to find out the secret...
    The secret that she was never told.
