How Winton got it's name

One night my great, great Grandmother told me a story of how Winton got it's name. She said that before Winton got it's name it was called No Name Town.

All the people that lived in No Name Town had nothing the only things that they had was wet, damp houses and  old wet clothes. All the kids had nothing, the only things they could play with was sticks out of the streams.

But then one day the Mayor of No Name Town came into town and said,
"This Town needs a name it is bad enough that it's wet, damp and muddy all day everyday. No Name Town is a bad name, so in a fortnight we will have a game. There will be two teams. One of them will be called, "Winton", and the other team will be called, "No Name Town". If Winton wins the town will be called Winton and if it doesn't the town will stay with No Name".

A fortnight later, it was great. It was a warm, sunny day, There was all sorts of equipment for a poor town, There was games like high jump, running, egg spoon, sack race and lots more. That afternoon both teams were competing against each other. Both teams were ready to hear that whistle go, both teams were really excited and really competitive and ready to win. As soon as that whistle went they were off like Cheaters it was amazing.

That mid afternoon, they were about to announce who won the challenge. "WINTON WON"! The Mayor yelled, all the crowd was so happy that they would be living in a town with a great name.

Once the Mayor got the sign up much, much, much more people started coming to live in Winton so that meant that the Mayor got much more money in, so with that money he painted all the houses, got better things in for the shops and he named all the streets.

So thats the story of how Winton got it's name. By Aimee

One sunny day, Mr Humpty Dumpety was sitting on a hard, rocky wall, eating ice cream. He was waving to any one who was coming his way and saying "what's up yhoul ghoul" Then a big gang of big boys came and pushed him off the wall. They said " Do you want a arm wrestle? If we win you have to go sniff a beehive" "Okay then"

So he came up to the first beehive that came his way. He asked the lady who was walking beside it . "Do you want to see me sniff this beehive?" "Of course not" said the lady. "That's a bit peculiar" said the lady. Humpty said, "PLEASE can I? I'm trying to do a bet. I lost it" The lady moved on and thought in her head "You are a very strange man"

So he went back to the wall and he was trying to get back on it. But he was so dumb that he forgot his grippy shoes. So he went back to the lady and said, "Can I please have my shoes back?" "OH are these yours. I didn't know" Here you go." Up went Humpty on the wall then suddenly a gang of butterflies  came, but he didn't know that he was allergic to butterflies. So he sneezed and sneezed then fell off the wall. He broke every part of his body and all the kings horses and his men were gluing and gluing every part they could. For the thousandth time they finally got him back to normal. Then Humpty came back to his wall and started to eat as much food as he could.

Deep at Spider Valley Intsy Bintsy spider climbed up the water spout but down came the rain and he forgot to equip his parachute he landed head first. 500 miles per hour, he cracked opened his skull. 

The spider rescue team came to save him in a helicopter. But as soon as they jumped out their parachutes got caught in the propeller of the helicopter. That made the helicopter crash and made Intsy Bintsy spider go... SPLAT!

Then a army tank came and crushed Intsy Bintsy Spider. Suddenly a plane flew over and declared war. It dropped a cluster bomb. One rebounded and hit the plane it made the plane blow up. So that made the plane surrender.

A crowd came cheering. They ran over Intsy Bintsy Spider. Now if you go to Spider Valley always look for the Spider SPLAT!
