A parody of Three Little Pigs by Sherie

Once upon a time, there were three little chickens. Each chicken wanted to build a house. One chicken built a a spaghetti house. The second chicken wanted to build a candy floss house and the third chicken wanted to build a muesli house.

When they finished building their houses the baddie came. He was the meanest wolf in the world. He said, “I will eat and eat the house down.” He ate the pasta house all up. He went to the second house and he ate the candy floss all up. It was so yummy that he said, “I can’t wait to get to the third house.” This was the muesli house.

He ate and he ate, but the wolf could not finish this one, so he went down the chimney to get the chickens, but there was a hot fire. He fll into the hot fire and rushed out of the house saying, “Aah, ooh, aah, ooh!” And the wolf never went back again.

'Going to London’ by Harvir

My date of birth is November the twentieth. On my last birthday, I went to London with my dad, my brother and my sister. We went on Saturday. It was cool. I loved London. In London we went to the London Eye. It was gorgeous and colourful. We drove up in a car. It felt bumpy, but it was quite fun. I liked the bit when the car got really, really bumpy. It was disgusting when my baby sister felt sick.

When we reached London, it was fantastic. We first went to the London church called St Paul’s Cathedral. It was exciting. There were loads of patterns and seats and there were brown seats for some people and white seats for other people. Then we went to the London shops. We first went to Timberland and my brother bought shoes and belts. Then we thought it was boring so we went to a Jewellers’ shop. We saw pretty earrings. Then we went to a toy shop and I bought a new Nintendo DS. We saw the river Thames and the ferry, boats, speed boats and at the side there was an aquarium. We saw lots of fishes and pebbles and definitely fish food. Where we were standing there was a flag and it said ‘King’s College, London.’

When we drove back, it was night time. We saw the Tower Bridge and, because it was night, the bridge had lights. It was beautiful. Then we went back home.

‘My holiday in America’ by Nicholas McLaughlin

This spring I went to America with my mum and some friends. We travelled across the Atlantic Ocean to Orlando in Florida. It was seventy degrees Fahrenheit, which was really hot! I took shorts and t-shirts to wear and sun cream. While I was there, I visited Sea World, Busch Gardens, Disneyworld, Universal Studios and Wet and Wild.

When I went to Busch Garden with my friends I went on a roller-coaster called Montooho. Then I went on a boat and saw an alligator in a river. The elephants at Busch gardens were squirting me with water. I also saw plastic models of cannibals.

‘My dad’s Compass’ by Nicholas McLaughlin

My object is a compass. It is from Beaulieu, from a shop by the sea. I bought it for my dad. It cost me £12.00 and points North, East, South and West. It has a mirror, because the North, East, South and West are upside down and backwards.

I sneakily bought it when Dad was not looking so I could give it to him for his birthday. It has a lock on it. My dad really liked it.

‘My Beetle’ by George V, Form 3

My object is a beetle. We caught it in Ecuador. I don’t know what type of beetle it is because it is so unusual and rare. We were so lucky to find and catch it!

It is special because Dad went on the roof of the hut on wooden poles over water in Ecuador to catch it for me. The hut was the food hut where we ate dinner, lunch and breakfast.

We got to the jungle by canoe. We heard white-faced capuchin monkeys in the trees, then suddenly, out of nowhere an anaconda slid out of a dead tree and into the swamp. The swamp was dirty and muddy and full of moss and leaves.

My Ski Crash, by George V

I would like to tell you about my ski crash. This month I went to Canada, skiing. When I was skiing through the trees it was really bumpy! I went over a bump too fast and hit a tree, bounced off and hit another tree! Finally I landed on the snow in a heap. My skis had come off and it hurt!

A man who saw what happened called the snow patrol on his mobile phone. The snow patrol came on a snowmobile and on skis. They put a neck brace on my head, so that I couldn’t move my head. They put a blanket over me to keep me warm. Then they put pillows all over me by my arms and legs, so that I couldn’t move at all. Next they put a blue waterproof sheet on me so I didn’t get covered in snow. Finally, they put me on a sledge and took me to the ambulance. I don’t know how they pulled me to the base.

Then they took me to the hospital and the hospital took my blood pressure and looked at how much oxygen I had. After that I had an X-ray. They found no broken bones, so that meant I could have snow-boarding lessons the next day!

‘My Sister’s Christening’, by Kieran

On the 2nd of March we had my sister’s christening. She is only just a baby. She was given a candle by the priest. The priest was a lady. Her name was Natalie. It was like a proper service. We sang songs.

After the christening, we had a party. The children were dancing on the stage and we were running, jumping and chasing. We had home-made sausage rolls and lots of other lovely food.

After the party some people went back to my house. Emma had lots of presents. She had a Bible, a musical box, a Peter Pan book, a Winnie the Pooh china set and a dress.

The beginning of ‘Goodie-Two-shoes’ by Nicholas

Felix went into the cellar, locking the door behind him. He entered his secret laboratory with an evil laugh. “Ha, ha, ha! Nobody can find my laboratory!” he whispered to himself. He stretched his eyeballs and flattened his slime so that he could put on his laboratory coat.
