Our marble track








At home we made a massive marble track with everything from hotwheels tracks to toilet rolls.
We made it with our friend and we were inspired by a guy who made a huge one at his house and worked on it for 6 months.
theres a video of it on our video bar!
Our marble track starts by going down a tube. It lands in a bigger one then rolls down a steep hotwheels track.
Then it hits some domino's, Which hit another marble that rolls down some more hotwheels track. Then it go's down two cricket wickets then comes to a big pully, attached to the roof. It knocks a marble out of the pully and the pully go's up with another marble. It then hits a pipe and go's through that and lands in a bowl of water.

gilbeanies writing!


Hi guys!

It’s gilbeanie here and I love writing. I’m up to my 16th book in my series the fracx chronicles.
My friend Harry also loves writing and you can also see his writing on his blog which we have a link to!

I’ll publish one or two chapters of the first book every couple of days so you can read them.
Be inspired!

The fracx chronicles number 1.

The brain snatcher.

chapter 1
Slinx Poodledroop

Outside the window of the castle of fracx, a black figure with a drooped hood stood outside the door to the humoungus castle.
He was soaked head to toe because it had been raining that night. He had come all the way from the forest of mist where monsters roamed the woods.
His name was Slinx Poodledroop.

chapter 2
murder

Inside the castle of fracx the professer of evil was on his couch when the doorbell rang. The professer of evil had a black cloak and a long white beard and glasses that looked like they were going to fall of his nose. He got up muttering to himself that the castle was to big and wandered over to the door and opened it. He asked Slinx what he wanted and what he was doing here then let him in Then the professer of evil screamed so loud you could hear it five miles away.

chapter 3
The journey to the castle of fracx

5 miles away Fox was sipping his fracx dew when he heard a high pitched scream. Fox was sitting at a table at his house in the village of fracx. Fox had short red firery hair and blue eyes.
Suddenly Smaly Sox the troll burst through the door “did you hear that scream!!!?
Did ya did ya did ya!! Was there a scream!? Was there, was there? Huh, huh!!
Am I right am I right?!! He screamed. “yep” said Fox “and it sounded like it was coming from there.” As he pointed out the window to castle of fracx.
“Lets go check it out!” Said Smaly Sox. And so they did.
It was a short walk. They went over the fracx hills and finnally they got there.
They opened the humoungus door. “Creeeaaak!” They peered inside, and there in front of them was horrible sight.

chapter 4
explaining

Slinx poodledroop was there and he was taking the brain out of the professer
of evils head and putting it in his own head! “we must call for help!” Whispered smaly sox. “no” said fox “We must go to gastafrox!” “Ok fox” said sox. They sneaked past Slinx Poodledroop and climed the spiral staircase to the window were the pully to gastafrox was. They climed into the pully and in no time at all they were at gastafrox. “We must find the proffeser of gastafrox!” Exclaimed fox. The surroundings were beatiful. There were people in dark cloaks everywhere and there were millions of small houses. They raced up a flight of stairs and opened the door to the proffeser of gastafrox. “Therewasaguyandhewastakingthebrainoutoftheproffeserofevilsheadandputtingitinhisownhead!” Gasped Fox. “What?!” asked the proffeser of Gastafrox. “Therewasaguyandhewastakingthebrainoutoftheproffeserofevilsheadandputtingitinhisownhead”
gasped Fox again. “oh!” said the professer of gastafrox. “your cute kitty is hungry!” “no!” said Fox
“Therewasaguyandhewastakingthebrainoutoftheproffeserofevilsheadandputtingitinhisownhead!”
“Oh!” Said the proffeser of gastafrox “you want me to give you some french fries.” “NOOOO!!”
Screamed Fox, “therewasaguyandhewastakingthebrainoutoftheproffeserofevilsheadandputtingitinhisownhead!!!”
“Oh, now I get it!” said the proffeser of gastafrox. “Therewasaguyandhewastakingthebrainoutoftheproffeserofevilsheadandputtingitinhisownhead!”
“Yes.” said Fox glumly.
“That guys got to be Slinx Poodledroop!” said the proffeser of gastafrox. “He’s probably trying to get the smart guys brains. He’ll be here before you know it! We need to get everyone out of gastafrox!”

Chapter 5
The fracx mobile

“Evacuate!!” screamed the speakers. “Head to the fracx mobile!!” “Whats a fracx mobile?” asked fox.
“You’ll see!” Replied the proffeser of gastafrox. They scuttled along the dark alleyways until they reached a large platform. There infront of them was the fracx mobile.
It was a huge green spaceship. It looked like it could fit millions and billions of people in it.
“Wow” said fox. They jumped in. There was a table tennis court, a tennis court, a swimming pool(e.t.c,e.t.c).
The gastafroxers were there aswell. “Proffeser.” said Fox. “Where are we going?” “to the forest of mist” came the answer. “It may be dangerous but it will be where slinx won’t venture.” They set off. Down past the castle and in no time at all they were at the forest.

Chapter 6
The shorty trees

There was mist everywhere. They were flying above the first part of the foreset of mist: The shorty trees.
Suddenly the fracx mobile started putting.
“the fracxmobiles running out of gas!” screamed a random Gastafroxer named bob “prepare to land!”
But it was too late. The fracx mobile stopped putting and and fell down into the small vast trees. “smash!!” The engine popped out of the spaceship and landed in a far off place in the forest.
All the Gastafroxers got out and saw that the way out was blocked by the gigantic spaceship.
“We can’t get past!” Exclaimed Bob. “We have to find the fracxmobiles engine!” Said the proffeser of gastafrox. So they ventured through the shorty trees.
The trees were short and shady. But it was terribly cold. There was no sign of life. It was dangerously quiet.
Fox shivered as he thought about the mist monsters that lived here.
If you saw one you would never ever die but the mist monster would haunt you forever.
Suddenly Fox tripped on a small spike coming from the ground. The earth rumbled and a huge spikey crocidile leaped infront of Fox.

Chapter 7
The fight

Unfortunately Fox was at the back of the line. He screamed, "wait for me!!" But they were too far off to hear.
The spikey crocidile got ready to strike. If fox started running, the spikey crocidile would strech its elastic tail with the spikey bulb at the end and whack him over the head with it. Then while he was knocked out the spikey crocidle would feed apon his flesh. Fox took a step backwards and....ZAP!! The crocidiles tail shot out like a speeding waistband. Fox ducked, but only just, beacause it came zooming back. The crocidile was angry now. This was not was supposed to happen. It prounced on Fox and swung its tail round and round. Finnally Fox grabbed its tail and wrestled it to the ground. But that didi'nt stop it.
It was'nt going to give up. Suddenly Bob the Gastafroxer (who for some reason had a sword.) ran out of nowhere and chopped
the monsters head off. "thanks." said fox.

Chapter 8
The handy trees

Fox and Bob caught up with the group and told Sox what had happened.
They were coming up to the handy trees. It was a very dangerous place, because the trees would reach down and pick you up and then they would throw you far off into the distance.
In the middle of the handy trees was the mist monsters den. It was where the mist monsters lived.
The handy trees were huge.
They toward towards the sky. They looked like hands reaching for space, and yet...they were hands.
They moved around, blocking people in their paths. One tried to grab the proffeser of Gastafrox but missed.
"Nah nah, nah nah nah!!!!!!" he screamed. Suddenly another tree swooped down and grabbed the proffesser.
"Yaaah!" He screamed as he was thrown far off into the distance.
He was gone.

Chapter 9
Walkin' an' talkin' woods

They walked and walked. They were nearly past the handy trees when Fox stumbled across a huge, massive pit.
"The mist monsters den." whispered Fox, "the fracx mobiles engine could be in there but we should search there last."
They clambered over the mist monsters den and after about half an hour they had reached the next part of The forest of mist.
Walkin' an' talkin' woods. The trees all had evil eyes and branches that swung around, knocking you over.
They would move to make you lost and they jump out at you, blocking your path. The trees were about half the size of the handy trees.
They were huge and imposing. Suddenly Fox was alone. The trees had changed places and the group was nowhere to be seen.
Fox heard some whispery voices: "Come with us....with us Fox...with us"
Suddenly one of the trees whacked Fox in the head with one of their branches. It sent Fox sprawling into another trees that moved just after he had crashed into it, which made him topple over and sprain his ankle.
The trees now had evil grins smeared over their faces which made Fox shudder.
Just then he heard voices.
It was the group.

Chapter 10
The thick bush

Fox ran to catch up with the group and they burst into the last part of the Forest of mist.
The thick bush.
I think the name describes it well enough. It was a thick bush.
It had dead leaves and branches piled high into the sky.
Fox thought it was impossible that the fracx mobiles moter would have got itself in there.
But they would have to check.
Bob went infront, cutting down all the the branches in the way with his sword. They slowly trudged through the bush, never stopping.
Always walking.
It was getting harder and harder and harder since the bush was getting thicker and thicker and thicker.
They were like trapped prisoners.
They walked and walked but sadly there was no sign of the fracx mobiles engine.
Suddenly they saw sunlight.

Chapter 11
The mist monsters den

Standing infront of the group were two guards.
"Welcome to thee border line between fracx and franglewop." said one of the gaurds in a cool deep voice, "do you have your passport?"
"n-n-no." answered Fox.
"please come this way." said the other guard and he led the group onto a gigantic catapult.
"Fire away!" screamed the guard, and the group went flying.
They went over the thick bush and over the walkin' an' talkin' trees and landed with a "thump!" inside the mist monsters den. With thier eyes closed they staggered into the pit.
They could hear howling and sad low moans. Suddenly Bob saw one. "nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed, "pppllleeeaaassseee nnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!"
But it was too late. The mist monster would haunt him forever.
Suddenly Bob stopped.
He had seen the moter.

Chapter 12
Slinx again

They hurled the moter up with their eyes closed and started to move out of the den.
But the mist monsters were strong and swooped around blocking their way. The group surged past and burst out of the mist monsters den. They walked through the handy trees and the shorty trees until they reached the fracx mobile. But there standing infront of the spaceship was an unwanted figure. It was Slinx poodledroop.
But as he took off his hood he reavealed the face of the Proffesser of gastafrox.
"I was the one who took out the professer of evils brain and there is no such thing as the professer of Gastafrox."
He said. "My name is poodledroop. Slinx Poodledroop. Now I shall take out your brain!!!!" And he charged.
But bob's mist monster was there and slinx saw it. "Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!" He screamed and he ran away.
He ran through the shorty trees, through the handy trees, through the walkin' an' talkin' woods and through the thick bush. But still he ran. He ran all the way too cliffingle where he jumped. A lot of people go crazy when they see a mist monster and will try and kill themselves. But slinx would not die.
He would just keep on falling for 475 years.

Chapter 13
Revenge
Fox and Sox were finnally home. They had got 200 fracxes for killing Slinx Poodledroop but Fox had argued and said it had belonged to Bob.
Everyone was happy. Everyone that is apart from one person.
That person was Slinx poodledroop.
Below cliffingle, Slinx clung to one of the the ropes that secured the rock of land to earth.
The mist monster was'nt anywhere to be seen. This was because Bob had already seen it before him.
"Must have revenge!" He muttered angrily.



THE END

HORRAY!
We have officially finished the first book of The Fracx Chronicles. Now we will start the second book called.......



The Fracx Chronicles number two

The Flying Storm
Chapter 1
Fox was sipping some of his fracx dew in his hut when Smaly Sox the Troll burst through the door. Smaly Sox was a gigantic troll. He had a brown vest and brown shorts and a brown club,as you can see he loves the colour brown. Well anyway back to the story. "Guess what!?" He screamed. "What?" muttered Fox. "I've just bought a bird ship and I've bought a and we've worked who the captain is going to be and it's you!"He gasped. Foxs jaw dropped to the ground, "WHAT?" Screamed Fox. "I've just bought a bird ship and I've bought a crew and worked out who the captain is going to be and its you!" "how much did that cost you?" asked Fox. "300 fracxes." replied Smaly Sox. "But Sox!" screamed Fox,"thats all we have!" For your information, Fracxes are a type of money in Fracx and a bird ship is ahumungus bird ship which you can use as a flying ship. You should also know this but because your so dumb I'll tell you. A crew must have atleast six people to be a crew.
"Oh and dont forget." Said Smaly Sox, "you have to pay 20 fracxes each month to a guy who sold me the birdship,Floop Freckle Pop if you want to keep the birdship."
Fox got up mutering to himself that he would kill Sox one day and opened the door of his house to find a huge beatiful birdship.
