Dion’s Story – Happy Horses

A horse walks into a barCreative Commons License Mark Gunn via Compfight

Once upon a happy time

there lived a man called Joe.

He had a lot of horses

but his favourite one

was called Reggie

and his second favourite

one was called

Little Paddy

One day these two horses

were going out for a jog

but the horses got a fright

so they ran away

 

And on that sunny day

Joe got a call from the farmer

saying the horses were in his field.

 

Joe rushed out the door

and got in his car and drove to the farm,

 

But by the time he got there

the horses had eaten

a lot of the farmer’s crops.

 

Joe hopped out of the car,

said sorry to the farmer,

put the horses in the horse box

and drove back to the stables.

Reggie and Little Paddy

were glad to be home.

Joe was happy that

the adventure was over

and that his favourite horses

were safely home.

Conan’s Story – Matt and the Red Tiger

Once upon a scary, dangerous time there lived a boy

and his name was Matt.

He had a big, blue spiky afro hairstyle.

He had shining blue eyes like the sky.

He was medium sized

and usually wore luminous green shorts and a t-shirt.

Matt was on the trail of the Red Tiger.

Matt has never seen one himself.

And he has heard that strangely enough

legend has it that the Red Tiger is in fact green.

However he has red spots, luminous pink eyes and a light blue tail.

Furthermore, the Red Tiger has magic powers,

 invisibility,

laser eyes

and his blue tail is real stretchy and like a whip.

 

Luckily Matt knows the tiger’s weakness – water.

And he also knows that in this part of the world

there are lakes you cannot see, that you can fall into and die.

 

Armed with this knowledge,

Matt moves along carefully

through the big, huge, unforgiving, towering mountains.

A musty, dirt, damp smell hung in the air.

Birds were flapping their wings.

Sometimes Matt could hear a distant avalanche.

But Matt felt calm and at home because he was an adventurer.

 

It was a scary, dangerous time

and it was just about to get more scary

and much more dangerous.

There was an earthquake.

Matt was just walking along when it happened.

The ground opened and Matt fell in

and started hurtling towards a pit of molten lava.

 

He though it was the end and that he was dead.

But when he opened his eyes he found himself standing

on a ledge above the lava.

 

He looked and found a creeper and swung to a higher ledge.

He launched himself off the higher ledge to move higher still.

Immediately he did that, the ledge broke beneath him

but luckily Max had already swung up to the next level.

But there he was stuck with no chance of getting out without help.

 

He heard a pitter patter of feet.

Along came a red tiger.

The red tiger came to a stop, waved its stretchy blue tail

and allowed Matt to grab it.

Matt couldn’t believe his luck

when the tail lifted him up and he got to the top and to safety.

He had had a narrow escape.

 

But before he could thank the red tiger or even capture it like he had planned to,

the tiger used another of its magic powers and disappeared.

 

Matt went home and no one would believe him,

except his mother who couldn’t think how else he could have gotten so messy.

And the good news is that he lived happily every after but he is still looking for the Red Tiger.

Lisa’s Story – Princess Poppy

Sunrise in the Forest at Night Russ Seidel via Compfight

Once upon a lonely and wintry night time,

there lived a sad and lonely princess and her father the strict king.

Her name was Princess Poppy and her home was the Palace.

Her father was kind and good but he had one strict rule.

Poppy was never to leave the palace ground.

In the palace she was surrounded by a world that was good and true,

but her father knew that outside the palace there was a malevolent witch.

 

Poppy had brown hair, pale skin and blue eyes.

She loved looking out of the palace windows at the open world.

Poppy disliked staying inside the palace gates.

From her bedroom in the palace

she could see the inviting, dark, leafy, green forests, a tall, grey tower

and a deep, blue lake.

She loved the smell of damp from the wintery forest

and to see winter sun shining down on the icy water from the sparkling lake.

 

Usually Poppy was a cheerful and chirpy girl, happy go lucky girl,

but for some time now she had been feeling sad.

She really, desperately wanted to go outside the palace.

So Princess Poppy sneaked out in the middle of the night without her Dad knowing.

She did not know her way around and soon she was lost.

 

She did not know about the malevolent witch

and she did not know that a spell had been cast by the witch

that meant if ever Poppy stepped outside the palace she would immediately become lost.

 

Luckily Poppy met someone who said she would help.

Unluckily the someone was the wicked witch.

She said to Princess Poppy she would give her shelter and protection

in the tall tower where she lived

and the next day she would show her the way to go home.

 

The next morning Princess Poppy tried to get out of the tower

but she found she was locked in.

 

That morning her Dad had woken to find out Poppy was missing.

He sent his army to find her.

They rescued her and frightened away the witch.

 

When her father saw the army and Poppy.

He dashed out and gives Poppy a big hug.

The witch was gone.

The spell was broken

and Poppy could go out and about after than.

 

And so she lived happily even after.

Jack’s Story – The Knights in Shining Armour

Once upon a mythical time lived three knights named Sir Jack,

Sir Kyle and Sir Michael.

They are brave knights.

They live in the castle on the hill in the town.

 

Sir Jack is famous for his sword skills

and the people from the town come to him for help in defending their property.

He dislikes dragons and ogres.

 

Sir Kyle is excellent at archery,and goes to the woods every day to practice his skills.

He has never been beaten in an archery competition.He dislikes robbers and villains.

 

Sir Michael is amazing at hand-to-hand combat.

He is the strongest man in the area and can lift enormous weights.

Together these three knights make a formidable.

One fine Autumn day the three knights headed into the woods.

They had heard from the townspeople that strange noises were coming from there.

The  knights were the only ones brave enough to investigate.

 

As they were riding along suddenly they were ambushed!!!

Dragons and ogres appeared from all sides, a battle began.

Sir Jack with his sword and Sir Kyle with his bow and arrows took on the ogres

while Sir Michael used his combat skills with the dragons.

 

After a long and hard battle the knights captured the ogres and dragons .

They dragged them to a prison, also known as Skull Island from which there is no escape!!!

The townspeople would never have to worry again

thanks to the three brave knights.

You have to pull some story books and a door opens on the ground into a magic garden.

If you go in you will meet fairies, elves, gnomes and loads of mythical creatures.

There are dragons, gargoyles, vampires, devils and grim reapers over on the dark side.

There is loads of jewellery to buy and lots of nice food.

In my classroom there’s a door and one day I went to look at it and it was open.

Everybody was scared.

What if there were dinosaurs or witches.

I said it would be fine and I walked in.

And there was a magical garden there.

There was unicorns and there was an evil queen and her name Gargona.

She cut loads of the horns off them so then I defeated her but then it was time to go.

So I went back to the classroom and I closed the door and went to my seat

and everybody wanted to know, so I told them all about it.

You could be various characters in games.

I would be Steve in Minecraft and I could fly and build without need any resources.

Then I could build a hotel and a mini town.

Now I shall go to Starve.ie and build tons of houses and become a millionaire.

My Weekend in Neverland

By Mya

On Saturday my family and I met Peter Pan.

On we flew to Neverland with him and Wendy.

When we got to Neverland we sat on a cloud and ate popcorn while we were looking at the view.

And then I fell right through the clouds and fell flat.

Then I heard something in the bushes and then all of a sudden Laura jumped out and gave me a great big hug.

Then I started screaming and so did Laura.

After we both started screaming I said to Laura

‘What are you doing here?’ and she said

‘I don’t know because one minute I was asleep and another minute I was here.

Just after Laura had finished talking my Dad flew down to us and said

‘Take my hand’.

We took his hand and we flew back home and when we got home Laura and I told all our friends the adventure we had.

Right now I am flying to Neverland. I cannot wait.

First we are going to meet my boyfriend Peter Pan.

After that we will go out for dinner.

I am on my way to Peter Pan’s house.

I am so excited.

‘Hello Peter Pan’

‘Hi Tinkerbell’.

‘Are you ready to go out?’

‘Yes’.

‘Let’s go’.

‘OK.’

We arrived and all of a sudden the heavens opened. We got soaked. We sat down at the table and ordered.

Next thing Peter Pan went down on his knees and asked

‘Will you marry me?’

‘Yes I will.’

‘Thank you’.

So we lived happily ever after.

Once upon a time there was a King and a Queen. 

The King loved money and the Queen loved honey.

She had ten pots of honey and he had ten pots of money.

 

One day the Queen asked the King to buy

ONE HUNDRED pots of honey.

‘OK, then.’ The King did just that but then

all of his money was gone.

The King was sad, but the Queen was happy.

 

Then the Queen had an idea.

The King opened a shop to sell honey.

So then he had lots of money again.

And they both lived happily, ever after.

In response to writing prompt: ‘Local housing shortage! Family moves into giant shoe’.

‘Once upon a time there was this person

and he was very silly.

He loved money but he had none

because he bought a mansion

and that’s why he had no money.

So he and his family had to move

into a giant shoe!’

The Summoning

The grumpy wizard lost his wand.
He found the wand under the sofa.
He was happy then.

He turned himself into
a great, white bird and flew away.
He felt even happier then.

Can you guess what kind of bird he turned himself into?

The answer is ……………………………………………………………………………….

(a swan. Ryan used a picture of seagulls just to trick you!)

Children writing poetry: Thoughts for Mothers’ Day: ‘She is the sound of the dishwasher closing.’

My Mother

She is the sound of the dishwasher closing

She is the colour white,

the same colour as the washing machine!

She would be a comfy armchair

She is ice cream

because she is cool when things go bad.

She is a tiger because she protects me.

She is a golden daffodil, standing tall.

She is birthdays all year round.

Tiger! Tiger! Burning Bright

Here are some more poems for Mothers’ Day:

These poems were written using an idea

called ‘The Furniture Game’

from Sandy Brownjohn’s book,

‘Does It Have To Rhyme?’ (Hodder & Stoughton, 1980)

Beth wrote this story;

Once upon a time there lived a witch

who lived in a cave on a mountain where there was a dragon.

She thought that she was able to defeat the dragon, but she was wrong.

The dragon blew out fire.

The witch tried to put spells on the dragon,

but the dragon had blown fire at the want,

so she couldn’t put spells on the dragon.

The dragon blew fire at the witch.

So this story doesn’t have a happy ending!

The End.
