The White Queen
by Harmony
In a house not far away there were two children
playing hide and seek. One was called
Brooke and the other one was called Harry.
As Brooke was trying to squeeze into her
hiding place something moved, something
shook and she pushed the door open and
there lay a staircase. Brooke got Harry as
fast as she could and together they climbed
the staircase. When they opened the creepy
door they were sucked into a portal which
took them to a frozen forest. Then a teenager
girl ran up to them. Her name was
Cathy. She told them that she was trying to
escape from The White Queen. She had the
magic white sword which no other weapon
could beat except for the ring of freedom.
'Then all we need to do is get the ring of
freedom.' Brooke said. 'It is not that easy'
Cathy explained. 'It is in the cave of freedom
which is guarded by an experienced fighter
called Solo. To defeat her we need the magical
stick of ice and snow. 'Where is that?'
asked Harry. It is in the statue of the White
Queen which is outside her palace. 'Lets
get in then!' said Brooke. 'Alright!'answered

Cathy. They went to get the magical stick
of ice and snow. Together they pulled
the stick out of the statue. 'Now we can
defeat Solo!'exclaimed Cathy. They used
the stick to teleport themselves there and
to get the ring. 'Wow that is powerful!'
chuckled Brooke.' Now we have the ring
of freedom we can defeat The White
Queen!' exclaimed Cathy! 'Great!' shouted
Harry. Together they defeated The
White Queen. Later they woke up and
thought it was all a dream but in front of
them they saw the ring of freedom...
"Well done Harmony for a fab story that is
easily worthy of our www.epichalloffame.co.uk

Oh The Pain!
by Ethan
One sunny morning Dr. Zacery Smith
a world war 1 pilot went to his Spad
8-c1 and put his hand on the wooden
propeller and spun it to start it. He
then got in and the propeller stopped.
"Oh the pain the pain," he said.
He got out, he did it again. He boarded
and he just realised he had not got his
hat.
"The pain oh the pain."
He got out and went in to get his hat
when he got back the plane was trundelling
off down the runway. He got
down on his knees and moaned,
"The pain oh the pain."
He was in battle and his luck changed.
He had shot 72 enemy fighters down.
A fellow pilot called out:
" Help," he said,
"Never fear Smith is here," and he
helped him land and remarked the
proof is in the pudding,"
He went up then down he was going
down.
"I should never fire. Why am I here?
Oh the pain oh the pain."

The write
Knight says:
"Oh the pain indeed Ethan. This is a great
start for a short story. There are a few
questions left unanswered. What happened
to Dr Zachery Smith? Did he make it back
from the battle. I'm sure the readers want
to know. Can we have the next installment
please?"

Secret Staircase
by Edward
Once upon a time there was a boy
called Harry and girl called Nadia.
When they were playing hide and
seek they found a secret staircase.
Suddenly they fell down and went
into a portal. They found themselves
in a frozen forest. They first
saw a frightened goat and it ran
away. Then they saw a stranger he
asked for help. He said he was being
chased by the White Queen. He said
all we needed to defeat her was the
ring of freedom. They set off to
find it. They found it in the cave of
freedom. They took it, defeated the
White Queen and he was free!
Well done Edward for a cool story.
There are lots of great stories that have
travel through a portal... like the
fabulous Narnia books by C.S. Lewis.
We'd like to hear more about how they
found the ring and how they defeated
the White Queen."

Zak's Treasure
by Harmony
There was once a boy called Pablo who
was an experienced surfer. When Pablo
saw a dolphin he knelt down to touch it
but the dolphin swam away. He dived in
to see what was happening. Zak the lifeguard
saw this and thought Pablo was in
trouble. He got his surf board and went
to find him. He found Pablo and Pablo
pulled him in! He led him to a sunken
ship which had a treasure chest. He
needed help opening it. They opened it
together and found it full of treasure!
They were rich! The two boys got half
each so they were happy but... there was
a shark heading straight for them they
had no flippers or jetpack so they swam
back to their surfboards. Luckily they
made it just on time. Zak swam on his
surf board while Pablo happily began
surfing again.
"That's a sick story Harmony. Like,
totally radical."

Shark Girl and
Marine Girl
by Harmony
There was once two superheros,who protected
the Sembra seas. One called Shark
Girl and the other called Marine Girl. They
had the power of breathing underwater,
invisibility and communication with underwater
animals. Shark Girl could scare away
villains by disguising as a shark. Marine
Girl could turn invisible then push waves
at them to scare them away but once when
the Sembra seas was being invaded by
Octoman. None of the girl's powers could
make him go away. They also went on land
to see what was happening but land was
being defeated by The Giggler! Nowhere
was safe. Sea with Octoman, land with The
Giggler. Octoman had the power of long
grabby tentacles and also the power of
seeing what other people were doing. The
Giggler had the power of size and also the
power of speed. Shark girl had to get The
Giggler back in jail and Marine Girl had
to get Octoman back in sea prison. They

were going to need full power to do this.
Marine Girl turned invisible, intending to
turn Octoman into a piece of coral and to
do that she had to mix sea sponge with seaweed.
She made the potion and poured it
on Octoman so that the next day he would
turn into a piece of coral but it only lasts
for a week. So she stayed invisible until
he turned into coral. She put him in sea
prison. Shark Girl was doing great so far
with The Giggler so she turned invisible
and made a potion out of a comet and sap
which could turn him into a flower. She
stayed invisible to see him turn into a flower
and get him back to prison. Great! Now
everywhere was peaceful. THUD!
"We love Superhero stories in the Hall of Fame.
I'm writing a story called Manbat - it's about
a bat that dresses up as a man and lives in a
man cave."

Combo the Frog
by Harmony
Once upon a time, near the Amazon
River there lived a poison dart frog
called Combo. Combo was caring and
loving to all the other frogs. One day
a parrot called Tribe scared away all
the frogs except Combo. Combo was
brave. Soon Tribe and Combo became
friends so they planned to get the other
frogs back. Combo found them all as
he knew all their secret hiding places.
Then he explained how Tribe was his
friend and he was doing no harm flying
nearby. Soon every frog was Tribe's
friend.

Captain Khaki
and his Time Travellers!
by Reception class Oakley
School
Captain Khaki led his Time Travellers
through the long grass. SWISH...SWISH...
SWISH...SWISH... The grass felt cold and
sticky.
All of a sudden, they could hear a strange
sound.
"Who can hear something?" asked Captain
Khaki.
"I can hear an egg hatching," Lani said.
"You can hear an egg hatching," Captain
Khaki said. "Shall we follow the sound?"
"Yes!" shouted the Time Travellers.
They all moved through the long grass
again. PUSH...PUSH...PUSH...PUSH...
"Stop!" shouted Captain Khaki. "Oh no
everybody, we're stuck in the mud! Quick -

pull off your shoes!"
SQUELTCH...SQUELTCH....
SQUELTCH...
"Stop, I can hear another sound," Captain
Khaki said. "Can anybody else hear it?"
"Yes!" the Time Travellers shouted together.
"Mackenzie, what can you hear?" asked
Captain Khaki.
"A dinosaur," Mackenzie said.
"You can hear a dinosaur," Captain Khaki
said. "Can anyone else hear the dinosaur?"
Nathan said, "I can hear an egg hatching."
"We must be getting closer to the egg,"
Captain Khaki said. "Quick - follow me!"
They all ran. Then they stopped. There was
something chasing them.
"Can anyone see what is chasing us?" asked
Captain Khaki.
Belle said, "It's a dinosaur."
All the Time Travellers looked through their
binoculars.
"What type of dinosaur is it?" Captain
Khaki asked.
Luca said, "It's a T-T-T-T-REX!"
Everybody screamed...

AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"
The Time Travellers curled up on the grass
to try and hide from the T-REX.
"Sadie, look through your binoculars," said
Captain Khaki. "Has he gone?"
"No, he's still there," squeaked Toby. Toby
curled up like an egg.
"The T-REX is still there!" Sadie said.
Everybody ran for their lives. Then they
stopped. There was a massive footprint on
the ground.
Cooper said, "It's really, really big!"
All the Time Travellers and Captain Khaki
jumped into the footprint.
"I hope the T-REX won'f find us in here,"
Captain Khaki said. "Zac - what can you see?"
"The T-REX isn't there," said Zac.
Everyone shouted, "YESSSSS!"
There was something in the sky.
"Can anyone see what it is?" asked Captain
Khaki.
Jessica looked through her binoculars. "It's
a pterodactyl," she said.
Everybody lay flat on the floor and tried to
hide. They pretended to be blades of grass.

The pterodactyl swooped down and he tried
to pick up Nathan but Nathan pushed him
off. And he swooped down and he tried
to pick up John but John rolled over. And
he swooped down and he tried to pick up
Mackenzie but Mackenzie said, "No! I'm
trying to find a dinosaur egg. You go away
you thin pterodactyl."
The pterodactyl flew off into the sky.
The Time Travellers looked through their
binoculars again.
"What can you see?" Captain Khaki asked.
Federico pushed the long grass back. "I can
see lots of dinosaurs," he said.
Diesel said he could see some short
dinsoaurs. Yani could see some long dinosaurs
eating leaves. There was a tree behind the
dinosaurs.
"There's something behind the tree,"
Captain Khaki said. "It's small, hard and oval
shaped."
"It's an egg," said Cooper.
"It's a dinosaur egg," said Zac.
The Time Travellers crept closer to the egg.
"Don't let the dinosaurs hear us," warned

Captain Khaki. "They will get very angry
if they see us."
Mackenzie picked up the egg and gave
it to Captain Khaki. Everyone said, "It's a
dinosaur egg."
Captain Khaki put it in his pocket to
keep it warm.
The T-REX was right behind the Time
Travellers. He didn't want to eat them. He
just wanted his egg back.
Yani took the egg to Rex and gave it to
him.
Rex said, "THANK YOU VERY
MUCH TIME TRAVELLERS. NOW I'M
NOT IN TROUBLE WITH ROXY MY
WIFE!"
The Mammoth says:
"Thank you reception class for an amazing story
about Captain Khaki and his time travel team.
Your brilliant tale proves that time travel is as
good as its always been!"

"Well done Alfie on an amazing
story! You forgot to give it a title
so we decided to call it Viva Le
Revolution! I hope that's OK. One
of the things I like to do when I'm
stuck for a title is to pick a word or a
phrase that sticks out from what I've
already written, and make that into
the title."

appeared in the Trojan time inside the
Trojan horse.

horse,"said Pollyacoff.
"Wow, Athena has given us two brutal
warriors, on with their battle suits! Give
them the finest in the land."
Suddenly they dissappeared. James
Burke had managed to transfer them in
time. But they were not home! They were
in a strange land.
A hover car zooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooomed past Pollyacoff.
He was saying "Wow!" to all the science
around him. Then an old man came up
and said:

Once there was a hero called Tefnut.
Tefnut had a friend called Shu but Tefnut's
cousin Terset did not like Shu and Terset
was against Shu. And so Terset locked Shu
in a mummy case and only Terset had the
key to the mummy case. So Tefnut had to
rescue his friend. Terset hid the mummy
case deep inside a pyramid. Tefnut knew
that it was hidden deep inside the pyramid.
So Tefnut set of in his chariot along the
long hot desert to the pyramid. When
Tefnut arrived at the gigantic pyramid he
quickly got out of his chariot and rushed
into the tall big pyramid and found the
mummy case. He heard Terset coming
towards him and he wondered where to
hide. But he couldn't find anywhere to
hide. Terset was coming closer he could
now hear Terset’s footstep’s so Tefnut
hid in a mummy case Terset walked past
Tefnut. Then Tefnut got out and went
to Shu’s mummy case. Now when Terset
walked past the mummy case, Tefnut stole
the key to the case. And then Tefnut and

his dear friend Shu crept along the long
corridors out of the big pyramid and into
Tefnut’s chariot. He shouted “Great! You
rescued me Tefnut! Why don’t we go to
celebrate back home?"
When they got home on Tefnut's chariot.,
Tefnut asked Shu “Are you alright?”
Shu said "Why don’t you tell the whole
town about what happened?”
“Great idea Shu!” said Tefnut.
P.S.

The Two Pharoahs
by Isabel and Izzie
There were once two pharaohs who were
both very wise. One lived in the pyramids
and the other in the desert. However one
was mean and one was nice. The nice one
was called Anubis and the mean pharaoh
was called Sekmet.
It was a dark gloomy night and Sekmet
tried to break into the pyramid. He got
in but stepped on a creaking floorboard
"Rrrr!" went the floorboard. Out of
nowhere came all Anubis's guards including
Ra ma'at and Anubis's daughters Izzrella
and Isabella.
"Aaaahhhh!" shouted out Sekmet. He
ran out the castle afraid.
The next night, yet again Sekmet broke
in and got past the creaking floorboard
and stole Anubis's crown and they got
past the creaking floorboard and out the
pyramid. The next day Anubis woke up
and screamed for his favorite crown was
gone!!!
"What's wrong your royal highness?"
said the servants.

"Mmmm my crown's gone! Completely
gone!"
"Well who would steal such a special
crown?" they asked.
"I don't know but we have to find out
because that crown has been in the family
for years."
"Right away sir!" said the guards.
"At the dead of night we shall sneak into
Sekmet's castle because I am sure he stole
my crown. For he is greedy."
"You are so ingenious what a good idea!"
said the royal guard.
So in the dead of night Anubis and his
guards broke into Sekmet's castle got his
crown and crept back to his own castle.
"Welcome home!" said Anubis.
The next morning Sekmet woke up
"Oooooooo no no no! My new crown
gone completely gone!" said Sekmet.
And he was never known for stealing
again!
The Mammoth says:
"Thank you Isabel and Izzie for a great story. I
would like to visit the pyramids but Egypt looks
a bit hot for mammoths."

R.I.P. Agent S
by Ffion, Louie and Lucy
A long time ago there was an epic fight in which
brave heroes fought and fell…
R.I.P agent S. Saturn is very grateful.
We begin on Sammy's home moon Titan,
he loved it so much. From the glowing sea
to the vibrant sky. The only thing he didn’t
like was his smelly manky unicorn brother.
His life was fine. Then the evil lord
Hammy's space shuttle loomed over
Saturn. All unicorn forces were lost (UAF,
URN). Sammy's family and friends were
gone into the shuttle screaming for their
lives.
Sammy whizzed round Saturn blowing
sparkle dust at the menacing space
hamsters. The evil lord Hammy was going
to eat Saturn's cheese rings.
"Oh no!" Sammy cried.
"Oh yes!" Hammy replied spiraling his
furry hands plotting his next evil plot.
"Minion 11, minion 12 and 13!"
They instantly rushed forward and
"It's me!"

pinned Sammy down.
"BO YA!" shouted the hamster. A sharp
needle headed towards Sammy's face
threatening him. He blasted his sparkle
dust but it was no use. Sammy was surely
done for. And he was...
The needle punctured his face terribly.
His blood floated into outer space. No
sparkle left in it. Then John his annoying
smelly brother wrestled lord Hammy to
the ground.
"I'm going to make ham out of you..."
You may be wonder what happened next
John did make ham out of him. All was
happy....
Horatio the Hamster says:
"At last a story about hamsters! Well done you
three on a fantastic story. Personally, I liked the
part about the cheese rings! I don't suppose you
have any of those left do you?"
Horatio the Hamster says:
"Here I am again!"

The Sniper
by Oliver
"BANG!" The British soldiers were being
battered by the German artillery! Everyone
was blinded by the hovering dust floating
into there bloodshot eyes. The smell of
smoke and gunpowder overwhelmed most
of the soldiers as the machine gun bullets
flew, sometimes into a soldier. Most of
the soldiers would duck and the ones that
didn't, well that's another story...
In a tunnel, almost touching the German
trench, 3 people listened to the German
conversation
"We have to get the message to Manfred!"
The 3 young men hurried back to the
trench. Suddenly: "Boom!"
They were now running across no mans
land "BANG!"
Dirt fell over the 2 corpses, but one was
still alive. He ran and dived into the trench
"They've got a secret message, we need to
get it!"
Harry, a British sniper, was doing his job,
and well. He wasn't very good at hitting the
Germans, but he's good at scaring them.
"Hey Harry you doing well with that
Enfield. Anyway we need you to take this,

this could save your life."
The general seemed angry.
"It's only a pistol?!"
"Well it's better than an Enfield at close
range 'aint it?"
The mud slowed the soldiers down
sticking there wet feet into the sorrowed
ground where their friends were shot.
Explosions did their thing all around, noone
could get out of the trench... Or they'd
die!
"We need that secret message, the war
might depend on it!"
"Why it's probably just a piece of rubbish,
'aint it?"
"We need it!"
The anonymous man walked slowly over
to the door...
Suddenly, he reached out a hand, grabbed
something and pulled "it" in!
"Harry, how long have you been there?!
I said how long have you been there?!!"
"Umm... Urr... j..j...just walking past."
Harry stuttered and shivered until the
anonymous figure pushed Harry out of
the door, slamming it in his face. Harry
had actually been there listening for a
while now
"I survived I..I survived!"
He knew he was lucky, did they notice?!?!

"Listen up maggots! This is what you
signed up for so you better listen for once
in your lives! We need a secret message
that they've got, so listen to the plan."
Silence.
No-one dared to speak.
"So we've got to get into their trench,
which is going to be dang..."
"Hey i'm not risking my life to get a
piece of rolled up paper in some scum's
pocket."
"Well on your bike then!" said the man.
So he walked off, away from the trench
and in a split second he was shot.
"That's what happens to cowards."
The man kept on talking until everyone
knew the suicidal plan.
"Phew!"
The snipers seemed not to rest, and the
artillery didn't either.
"Ok it's time, we're going to get that
message!"
There was a big cheer before they jumped
up the side of the muddy trench that smelt
of horse dung.
"Charge!"
Guns were blazing out from both sides
of the blood bath. Harry jumped into the
trench and found he needed the pistol!
Engraved on the side it said:

"Good luck"
He ran up and shot the general in the
now blood red patch on his uniform. He
looked through his pockets eventually
finding the message. He ran as fast as he
could. Sprinted, across no-mans land. He
jumped. In mid-air a bullet hit him in the
chest.
A deathly scream leaked from his blood
filled mouth. He carried on running
straight to the general.
"I got it..."
His hand stretched out and forced the
general to have it. He dropped dead.
Author Robin Price says:
"This is a very atmospheric tale and
you've nailed the description. I liked
they way that the personality of the
characters came out in their speaking.
it was a brilliant ending - but sad.
TIp: Remember to use 'said' or 'shouted'
when there are a couple of characters
talking - then we won't lose track
of who is saying what."

Hamster
House of Horror
Horatio the Hamster says:
"I don't think this is a good idea but
some of you have sent in scary
stories this month. So welcome to my
Hamster House of Horror. For the love
of nuts, don't even think about readking
the next two stories unless you
like being scared seedless!"
Tiger Lily
by Annabel P
Staggering figures surrounded the
battered old cottage; some already tripping
their way into the garden. Robin was lying,
pale green by Tiger Lily's side. Now she
could here fumble feet lolloping up the
rotting stairway. Robin was still lifeless; he

had been since stepped on that rusty nail.
His foot was oozing blood that, if she
didn't act soon, would be in the hands of
the former inhabitants of Oakley.
Frantically fingering rubber bands and
skewers Tiger Lily formed a makeshift
slingshot and prepared for combat.
Of course she wanted to hide first so
she gingerly tip toed across precarious
floorboards dragging Robin's crippled
body behind her. She wasn't sure why,
maybe she needed a tiny piece of hope
that she wasn't completely deserted-yet.
From the 'safety' of the dusty cabinet
Tiger Lily spied gnarly hands splintering
the remains of the door. Her clammy
grasp gripped the little ammo she had and
she tried not to make a sound. The leader
of the group aka the former mayor but
now his pupils were ghostly white, his right
ribcage bones was showing and his bow tie
was askew. He lurched into the chaotically
messy cottage. His right eye rolled out of
its socket and slithered unnervingly close
to the cabinet where Tiger Lily crouched
in wait…
Tiger Lily held her breath until her face
turned blue and with a deep sigh she let
her breath go! The bloodshot horror
immediately whizzed round and met with

Tiger Lily’s wide petrified eyes just visible
through the crack between the cabinet
doors. Her heart stopped and she jumped
out firing skewers left and right nuclear
flesh splattering on the peeling wallpaper.
She frantically racked her brains for an
escape plan. A cough spluttered behind
her as Robin hung on to his last seconds
of life and then fell hopelessly to the
ground. And with that Tiger Lily’s hopes
of a last friend was dashed like a guttering
candle sputtering out. With salty tears
spilling down her scarred cheeks she was
even more determined to overthrow this
staggering horde he charged recklessly at
the surrounding grey/ green figures.
A flick of a powerful boot- one head sent
rolling. A pain filled punch- limbs bouncing
of the walls. Disembodied hands clawed
Tiger Lily’s feet and with a deft swipe of a
kitchen knife and they were no more.
Finally all the nuclear monsters were
vanquished or so she thought for a flesh
crawling groan made her blood run ice
cold. Tiger Lily skidded round on glowing
guts only to see the looming lime green
silhouette of Robin staggering dangerously
close to where she lay. With great regrets

and tears glistening with her tragic past
Tiger Lily leapt up and kicked Robin
through the hole in the mahogany door
and then pursued him over to the staircase
where she closed her eyes and wrestled
Robin off the landing. But, as he fell to
the ground he yanked on her torn top and
his tight grip sent Tiger Lily descending to
her death too. As her hopeless body hit the
floor with a deathly thud her last thoughts
were a hope of a next generation and a
new beginning…
Horatio the Hamster says:
"Thank you Annabel for another
prime cut of spookiness for my
hamster house of horror! Now I need
to go and lie down in some straw."
"Look another picture of me!"

The Train
by Kirsty
In the woods, there is an abandoned
railway track near a relinquish house. I've
heard the story many times, and no one
near on the 13th. Always the 13th. Eerie
green moss surrounds the roof and you
can always the dripping. Dripping of blood
they say. When you walk froe you hear the
snapping of sticks, like the snapping of
bones.
At the 12th hour, they say, you can hear
the bellowing of a train and the scream of
a woman and a cry of a baby, but not of a
man. He does not care if you’re alone, or
if you’re with friends. He will summon the
train!
The story goes like this…
A baby and its mum were killed in the
night by a train, but the stabbing marks
were unforgeable and they all fort that the
husband did it but they had no proof.
I think he did it like this. At the dead
of night, when his family were sleeping,
he stabbed them and placed them on the
railway track.
So many clues, some making no sense,

ut never go near when his sprite is here.
He kills you if you go near him for fear you
know what he did. You probably should
not have read this because now he knows
you know what he did ……
Horatio the Hamster says:
"Thanks Kirsty. Your ghost story was
so spooky that I fell off my hamster
wheel. I was so scared that I gave up
burying nuts for a week!"

a wall. He was running out of breath just
as the nugas found him. He got his space
gun and started shooting. A hit! the nugas
started backing away then he screeched
loudly. Five more of them jumped down.
Then he had an idea he could climb the
walls of the maze. He started running
again; a nugas fell down in front of him
he was trapped! One of them attacked he
jumped up onto the nugas and climbed

the wall.
He could see the end he quickly started
jumping from wall to wall. Some of them
climbed up and was chasing Linwood
Warwick. He must get out of there. He
was getting close to the door now he had
to jump down and open it. He clicked
the switch and the door opened and at
once he looked for the closing switch. He
found the switch but the bugs found him.
He clicked the switch however one nugas
got in. He had to fight. He started to walk
backwards while reloading. He tripped over
and found himself pinned. He powered
his gun on and started shooting. A direct
hit he shot and the nugas fainted. In this
new room he found tanks full of flux and
flesh going into a machine. There was a
door to his right and a something else to
his left. Very scared he started to move to
the right door. The door had a keypad but
there was a vent to his left so Linwood
Warwick got into the vent.
It was getting hot very fast and he could
see the heater at the end. He pointed his

space gun towards the heater and shot.
*click click* He was out of ammo he had
more but could not get it round to reload
it. It got hotter. He was at the end but
nearly burnt to death he dropped onto the
floor on the other side of the door.
He got up to find lots and lots of random
glass tubes with space aliens in! He ran
across the ramp going up to find a huge
metal door. He reloaded his space gun and
hit the open button.
"Hello human my name is Velly a space
alien who will take over the galaxy! With
these clones and this time machine I will
take over all galaxies! Time to die puny
human. The door shut behind him and
three steel walls closed around him. The
walls started to close in. He shot the pipes
but nothing happened. The only plan out
is to go into the pipes where the toxic air
is! He better hold his breath... His heart
pumped as we climbed up though the
pipes. Click he was out. The time machine
sparked to life as Linwood Warwick got
out. He had to act fast so he jumped onto
Velly and held him down. The metal doors

opened once again and tons of clones start
pumping in! Linwood Warwick Jumped up and
ran to the newly opened time machine.
He landed on the other side of the portal
he saw Velly working on the portal still he saw
Linwood Warwick and freaked out "Ah how
did you get past my maze and my clones and
everything!?" shouted Velly. Linwood Warwick
kicked Velly to the side and shouted "Take that
alien!" He found some bombs in the corned set
them off and ran for is life. Out the door and
round the corner and up the stair case and across
the grass and into the rocket. "Full Throttle!" he
shouted. And as Linwood Warwick flew away
as the huge bomb went off behind him.
The end.
Horatio the Hamster says:
"James your story was epic!
Sustained bursts of suspense from a
sizzling space opera!
By the way humans - you don't need
to write The END at the end of your
stories. We'll know it's the end
when your writing runs out."

Headless Hen
by Jasmine and Ronnie
As the trees swished, Pando and Jeff
woke with a fright. There in front of them
was a load of funky chickens with arrows
and swords.
The Head Chicken said, “Finally, finally,
we have found people to kill.”
One of the chickens bellowed, “We are
going to rip you apart!” He was staring at
them with his red eyes.
Suddenly they disappeared. Pando and
Jeff were terrified. The two friends walked
without talking to the water pond. In the
pond they saw a mirror. On the mirror
were the words, ‘You have had your minds
twisted so this might help you with...’
“With what?” said Jeff.
“I don’t know,” said Pando.
Then suddenly, spiders burst out of
the purple trees. Pando was hungry so he
gobbled them all up in one second!

Amazon the Elf
by Ruby and Maddie
"RUN!" Amazon the elf shouted to Asia, the
tree-spirit, as the bombs started to shower the
forest. Suddenly they were taken off their feet by
a massive gust of wind. They fell with a bump,and
all around them were purple and cornflower blue
trees. A mournful moan echoed through the silent
forest, Asia's spine began to prickle with fear. A
ghostly pale figure lay by a SUPER tall tree, its
knotted back supporting him. He seemed to be the
one groaning.
''Quick!'' yelled Asia ''the first aid kit!''.
Amazon grabbed the first aid kit and turned to the
pale man, then she found the right sized bandage
and strapped it around the poor mans head.
''feel better?'' asked Asia
''yes thank you'' croaked the old man.
Then suddenly, the old man was not an old man
any more he... was... a... VAMPIRE!!!
''Uh oh...'' muttered Amazon ''LETS GET OUT
OF HERE!!!''
As they ran through the haunting trees, leaves
began to fall so quickly it hurt. It was as if the forest
was trying to slow them down.
Well, it was working. Slowly the leaves swarmed
them ... then it all went black.

The Bunker
By Cameron
Jason woke up. "Where am I?" remarked
Jason. He looked around to find he was in
a large bunker hidden in a mountain. The
massive door 10 meters high was wide open.
he heard a loud crash and everything went
white then red and then black. Clouds of
dust pondered around the sky and the only
sound was the screams of the ones around
him. He fell to the floor and fainted.
Jason woke up wearily and turned around.
a pile of blood lustring bones ran towards
him. Quickly he killed in the chest and it feel
to its knees. Jason didn't feel safe "Hello!”
Shouted Jason. He walked towards the door
then remembered how defenceless he was
and went to find a weapon. He sat down in
the armoury and grabbed a small rifle. he
heard a groan behind the door. He slowly
crept towards the door. The groan grew
louder and louder.
He opened the door ...
A horde of zombies charged at him tearing
at each other tearing each other. He ran to
the exit, slammed the door and froze.
"Zombies can ride blooming tanks?!"

Bang. Bang. Bang. The rain of fire hit the
tanks gears and a loud creak from the tank and
very suddenly the tank burst into flames. The
door to the empty world was open and even
more zombies lay ahead. Jason head towards
a small camp just north of the bunker. "more
zombies" he thought but actually there were
some survivors .
They aimed there pistols at him. "no more
zombies!" said a small child in the camp
"No! I'm human"shouted Jason. They
believed him apart from the small child.
“You know were going to die, right? “said
the little boy.
"Yes! And there’s no changing that."
The Hamster of Horror says:
"Well done Cameron for sending us a
second brilliant story! Last month it
was Star Wars - now it's zombies!
What will you come up with next?"

Vikings
by Lucy and Cameron
“What have you done now, Siv?” yelled
Astrid furiously.
“It’s only a broach, it won’t do anything,
at least I don’t think so anyway,” replied
Siv, nervously.
Suddenly an arrow shot through Astrid’s
silky hair and landed on the map.
“Aaaggghhh!” screamed Siv, turning to
see one hundred longships. They scurried
to hide but couldn’t find anywhere. They
crouched in a corner breathing heavily. The
walls seemed to close in on their beating
hearts. Siv was petrified and couldn’t move.
Stunned. The silence was deathly.
The door crashed down onto the hard,
wooden floor. A soldier appeared. Siv
swung her axe wildly, decapitating him. Siv
dropped her axe in fear and very quietly
and slowly muttered, “I killed someone.”
She nearly fainted and ran over into the
woods, leaving Astrid alone.
Her eyes set on fire as she charged to the
sure, massacring the men to her left and
her right. As she reached the bloody sea,
she got her bow and aimed directly at the

man at the back of the boat.
“You have come to kill my men for a
flipping broach that you have no right to.
Olaf – you’re dead to me!”
Olaf, the man on the boat, stood up but
before he could mutter a word, Astrid’s
fingers released her bow and the arrow
hurtled right into his eye. He tumbled
back, lifeless. The remaining ships fled in
terror.
The rustling of leaves could be heard.
Siv appeared, smiling. “That was a close
call Astrid,” Siv laughed.

Viking Attack!
by Verity and Jacob
“Get the bows ready Tate,” reminded
Wulfric. “There might be Vikings so make
sure we’re ready,” he shouted.
As Tate scurried down the stairs, he
carried on loading the rest of the bows
he had. He thought he heard a crash but
ignored it and carried on loading bows.
Meanwhile, Magnus shouted to Astrid.
“Get ready to attack. Our mission is to
capture that pesky girl Tate, once and for
all!”
As the two Vikings burst through the
door, Tate tried to scurry back up the
stairs, but both ways were blocked with
a locked door and the Viking, Magnus,
charged at Tate to capture her, growling,
“You’re coming with us!”
But before he could say no, she pushed
him down the stairs. As Magnus landed on
Astrid, Tate managed to open the strong
door and shout, “Viking attack! Viking
attack!” to Wulfric.
Chaos was filling the poor village.
Children were screaming, houses were
burning, dogs were barking. There was

much torture that the Vikings had made
and back at the tower, before Tate could
open the last door to get to Wulfric. The
Vikings sprinted up the stairs and managed
to bundle Tate into a bag. She struggled to
breathe and her mouth was moving, but
there were no words. Just silence…
The Hamster says:

sing of it for ever in the halls oif

Five Coins
by Joshua and Lexi
“Quick, the Romans are going to get the
coins,” whispered Lucia.
“Ok, Ok,” answered Titus, diving to the
first coin. “Got it!” he shouted.
“Yes, but we still have four to go,”
whispered Lucia.
They looked around the temple for
a while, looking for the second coin.
Suddenly, a whole army of Roman soldiers
marched into the room.
“Quick, get behind this box,” whispered
Lucia.
When the army had walked away, Lucia
and Titus looked in the box. There were
clothes.
“There’s nothing but clothes in here,”
said Titus. “Wait, what’s that?”
“It’s the second coin,” said Lucia.
“Ok,” said Titus. “Let’s go and find the
other three.”
They walked into a room. There was a
tall man in there. Titus and Lucia stepped
back.
“I have been waiting for you two,” said
the tall man. “Are you looking for these?”

“Oh no, it’s the three coins,” said Lucia.
“W-We...are...looking for them,” said
Titus.
“Well, you will have to get through me,”
shouted the tall man, pulling out a sword.
“How will we get the coins?” said Titus.
“I have a plan,” said Lucia. “Go and hide
and I will sneak up behind him and get the
coins!”
Titus went and hid while Lucia snuck up
behind the tall man.
“I am not playing hide and seek children,”
the man said.
Suddenly he felt his hand shake. It was
Lucia taking the coins.
“Quick!” shouted Lucia, “Run!”
She shouted to Titus. They both ran out
leaving the tall man shouting, “Noooooo!”
When Titus and Lucia got home they
put the coins back in their place.

Great Roman story!"

Theseus
and
the Lion
A re-imagining of Theseus
and the Minotaur
by Izzy R (Yr 4)
A long time ago there lived a king
called Minos who lived in Crete. He had
a ferocious pet lion which he kept in a
maze under his palace. The lion had a
mane as golden and the sun and piercing
eyes that glowed brightly in the pitch black
darkness. His fur was thick and rough. He
had soft paws and long muscly front legs.
His mouth was big and wide, ready to eat
and his teeth were as sharp as knives. His
tail was like a whip. The lion had to be fed
every nine years.
King Minos and the King of Athens
didn’t like each other at all. They were
always fighting like two children arguing.

So the King of Athens made a deal with
King Minos that if the King of Athens
sent seven boys and seven girls every nine
years to be eaten, King Minos had to leave
the King of Athens alone.
After a few years, Prince Theseus
decided to go to Crete as one of the seven
boys. His father begged him not to go but
Theseus, the brave, strong prince insisted.
After a few days it was time for the
seven girls and seven boys to set sail to
Crete. “I’ve had enough. I want to kill this
dreadful, hideous beast,” said Theseus. So
they sailed to Crete. It was a horrible, tiring,
dreadful journey. Finally they got to Crete
at the King’s palace. Prince Theseus and
the other children were greeted by King
Minos and his beautiful daughter, Ariadne.
One night Princess Ariadne wrote a letter
for Prince Theseus and told him that if he
took her away from Crete then she would
help him defeat the lion.
Later that night, Theseus met Ariadne
and she gave him a shiny sharp sword
and a huge ball of string. Prince Theseus
thanked Princess Ariadne very much for
helping to kill the hideous monstrous
beast.
The next day, Prince Theseus and the

other children got pushed into the maze
where the gruesome lion lived.
“Stay here!” explained Theseus to the
boys and girls.
Theseus tied the string to the maze door
and unravelled it until he reached the
middle part where the lion stood. Theseus
pulled up his sword and made a move.
The lion was charging at him. As the lion
came near, Theseus killed and stabbed
the ferocious lion. After that, Theseus
followed the string back to the door.
Theseus and the children came out of
the twisty maze and crept quietly into the
boat so that King Minos wouldn’t notice.
Prince Theseus kept his word and took
Princess Ariadne away from Crete with
him.
While they were sailing, Prince Theseus
needed to stop on an island for equipment
and Princess Ariadne wanted to rest so
they went onto the island and Ariadne
fell fast asleep. Theseus decided to set sail
and he left beautiful Ariadne on the small
island but he still kept his word!

The Mammoth says:
"Amazing story! I don't know
about everyone else but I am
dying to know what happened to
Ariadne next. Did she live happily
ever after on the island? Or was
it infested with angry Cyclops?"
Author Robin Price says:
"This is a total epic. Well done Izzy!"

Billy The Unicorn
by Joseph
Billy is a unicorn. He can fly and he
flies right into the sky. One day he went
to the moon and there were hamsters and
they started fighting him. He flies and
shoots rainbows out of his mouth and
he was sooo cute that they all want to be
his friend! But the leader hamster did not
because he was a meany. So he hired some
rely strict baboons to tell them off. But
he used his unicorn powers on them.. it
didn't work so he talked to them and he
was so nice that he was the best unicorn in
the whole world. And the leader hamster
felt so sorry for him for the attacks that
he ran to his mum and said he wanted to
be the unicorns friend. Billy over heard
and he asked if they could be friends.

Tie Fighter
by Cameron B
Ray ran through the forest. He stopped for a
moment he stopped and then the ground gave in
to his feet and fell into the depths of an imperial
hanger stock full of tie fighters.
"Flipping heck! It had to be tie fighters!"
A rain of fire flew past him as he fell closer
to the ground. He struck out his saber and hit
the wall so he slid down to the bottom. There he
was... Kylo Wren.
"You weak soul,think you're a Jedi, but just a
boy ready to die" boomed Kylo Wren.
He struck out his light saber and charged faster
than a laser at Ray. He struck his blade against the
floor and sparks flew around the hanger fearlessly.
The room was dark and dreary. The blades clashed
lightening up the room. Ray ran to the hanger to
find Biggs's x-wing and Bigs waiting by it shooting
the storm troopers,
"Get in" he shouted and Ray barely made it.
They flew of only to find an Imperial fleet of tie
fighters heading right for them.He fired nonstop,
hoping to hit them. One exploded and the debris
hit them sending them to the ground of Kaysheek
in flames.
The Mammoth says: Brilliant story!!!
The words are strong in this one!"

Edward and the Vikings
by SOPHIE R of Edward Bryant
School
Chapter 1
The Fight
“Let me go!” spluttered Edward as
the harsh Vikings pinned him down and
started looking through his pockets. It
was easy to see because the moon was
now gazing down solemnly at the terrified
people, with blood pouring down them
and also at the frightened Anglo Saxons
fighting off the Vikings.
Poor Edward now was very weak and
out of breath. He made an escape with
a bloody looking sword and shield held
tightly in his scarred hands. Edward was
also very frightened and scared because
not only had he been cut but a big crowd
of Vikings on horses were cascading right
towards him. His heart was pounding faster
and faster. The horses were going at top
speed towards him. Suddenly there was a
giant WHACK! as the Vikings catapulted

themselves at Edward and all the fierce
charging of the horses, knocked him out.
Now a big red cut, from his eye to his ear,
appeared on his panicked-looking face.
Chapter 2:
The Start of the Battle
After Edward had been knocked out
by the Vikings, the head Viking frowned
and shouted “AND FIRE !” and as that
happened, three thousand fireballs were
sent flying from catapults. The fireballs
landed on a Saxon house in the village and
set it alight. Edward stupidly went into
the building that was on fire and opened a
huge chest. In the chest that was covered
in jewels there was a ridiculously long
golden sword, shimmering brightly in the
flames. Clenching the sword in his fist,
Edward jumped out the window just in
time. Then all of a sudden – BANG - the
house exploded! Edward rushed over to
his wife and calmly said …
“Martha that was our home that exploded!
What are we going to do? Where are we
going to live or stay?”
Edward started crying.
“It’s alright dear and if you don’t stop

crying like that, you will hurt your scar”
shouted Martha over the crackling of the
flames. As Edward reached for the sword
that was in his hand, behind his back, he
realised that it was gone!
Chapter 3:
The War
Edward looked high and low but there
was no sign of it until …
“Looking for this?” boomed one of the
Vikings, while Edward was looking for
the sword. When Edward turned around
there, in the head Viking’s hand was the
sword!
“How did he get the sword off me?”
thought Edward as he raised himself from
the ground, from his search.
“Give it back!” demanded Edward.
“Or what, you useless old Saxon?” joked
Eliot, the head Viking.
“Or war!” said Edward, crossing his
arms and nodding up and down. “Done?”
asked Edward.
“Done!” shouted Eliot and that was that.
The next morning saw Eliot with the rest

of the Vikings on one side and Edward
and the rest of the Anglo Saxons on the
other.
“One … two…three … CHARGE!”
commanded Eliot.
Before you knew it the Vikings and the
Anglos were scattered everywhere and
in the end, Edward managed to slip the
sword out of Eliot’s hand and kill all the
Vikings.
