Vikings<br />
by Verity<br />
Freya looked at Hilda.<br />
"Can you see any <strong>of</strong> the enemies?"<br />
she asked. "Y'know..the Vikings?"<br />
Hilda peered out the window, and<br />
then gave a shriek.<br />
"THEY'RE COMING!" Hilda<br />
yelped, running around the cylinder<br />
tower.<br />
Freya caught her in her arms, and sat<br />
her down on the side <strong>of</strong> the tower.<br />
"Calm down, Hilda!" She sighed.<br />
"STOP THERE!" yelled a rough<br />
voice. Freya spun around and saw two<br />
Vikings, both carrying a sword and<br />
one carrying a large sack. The girl with<br />
the sack lunged at Freya, but Freya<br />
dodged it, but tripped. The girl who<br />
had yelled had her sword to her neck.<br />
"You're caught now!" She laughed<br />
cruelly. The girl with the sack lunged<br />
at Freya and bundled her into the sack,<br />
and tied the bag tightly.
Freya looked around the sack<br />
frightfully; she could hear Hilda's<br />
shouts. She thrashed around in the<br />
bag...<br />
This is an epic tale Verity but<br />
what is going to happen to<br />
Freya next? Please send us episode<br />
two <strong>of</strong> your saga and we'll<br />
publish it next month.

Queen <strong>of</strong> the desert<br />
by Harmony<br />
Long, long ago, in the land <strong>of</strong> Egypt,<br />
someone suspicious was taking over the<br />
pyramids. It was Dedi the tomb robber!<br />
He was trying to get the sarcophagus <strong>of</strong><br />
Khufu! Luckily for the Egyptians, the hero,<br />
called Kiya, who lived in and was Queen<br />
<strong>of</strong> the desert had heard about it She had<br />
one great power that was flight. Dedi was<br />
a deadly enemy to her, pretending to be a<br />
rich god, when he was only a poor tomb<br />
robber. He pretended to be a pharaoh<br />
with many riches and gold but when night<br />
hit, he was more crafty than ever. This was<br />
when no animal and no person was awake,<br />
but little did he know that Kiya was always<br />
watching over him, watching exactly what<br />
he had in mind. Kiya decided to travel<br />
to Giza, where Khufu was mummified<br />
with all his riches. She brought her map<br />
<strong>of</strong> exactly where Khufu was buried.<br />
She was going to set a booby trap. Dedi<br />
had now entered the main way where<br />
all the Pharaohs and Queens chambers<br />
were made. He saw hundreds, probably<br />
thousands <strong>of</strong> doors to read. While he<br />
carefully read the hieroglyphics, Kiya had<br />
landed and was making her way to Khufu's
chamber. His door was the very last one,<br />
numbered one thousand. When she<br />
found the entry, she hid everything that<br />
Khufu had when he was alive, including<br />
his sarcophagus. Then, all around the<br />
door she set five booby traps all next to<br />
each other forming a circle. Eventually,<br />
when Dedi had found Khufu's chamber<br />
he stepped right into the booby trap<br />
and was never seen again. Kiya became<br />
a god and Dedi became criminal. Then<br />
the people <strong>of</strong> Egypt lived Happily Ever<br />
After.including his sarcophagus. Then,<br />
all around the door she set five booby<br />
traps all next to each other forming a<br />
circle. Eventually, when Dedi had found<br />
Khufu's chamber he stepped right into<br />
the booby trap and was never seen again.<br />
Kiya became a god and Dedi became<br />
criminal. Then the people <strong>of</strong> Egypt lived<br />
Happily Ever After.<br />

The Race to the Jelly Pyramid
Nice one<br />
Charlotte, Freya<br />
and Liz. Thank<br />
you for your sweet<br />
tale! I liked the<br />
final line <strong>of</strong> your<br />
baddy as the jelly<br />
pyramid collapses.
The Fight <strong>of</strong> Nehi and Atet
The Golden Key<br />
Thank you Freddie, Federica and Anonymous.<br />
Great stories from all <strong>of</strong> you.<br />
Pyramids are dangerous places indeed! Full <strong>of</strong><br />
camels (good and evil), crocodiles and booby<br />
traps.<br />
Super tip: It's good to use an image that belongs<br />
in with the story. "As fast as a crocodile," would<br />
work better than "As fast as a cheetah."
The Miracle Stone<br />
by Harmony<br />
In a land called Keel<strong>of</strong> everything was great until,<br />
when every unicorn was in a deep sleep, Emperor<br />
Rascal sent his Evil Zombies to attack Keel<strong>of</strong>!<br />
They used the unicorn's magic to change zombie<br />
fruit to look like unicorn fruit! Dandelion, one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Summer unicorns woke up by the sound<br />
<strong>of</strong> magic and saw the zombies heading home,<br />
she had to protect the gallop <strong>of</strong> unicorns from<br />
getting poisoned! She tried to tell the other but<br />
they just laughed at her. They were in danger!<br />
The three unicorns who laughed at Dandelion<br />
did not believe her at all, so they ate some <strong>of</strong><br />
the unicorn fruit and as soon as they ate this the<br />
three <strong>of</strong> them turned green and fell on the grass.<br />
Dandelion galloped <strong>of</strong>f to Heart, the hospital<br />
worker. Heart said that if they do not receive<br />
the dust from the Magical Blue Rose in two days<br />
they will be stuck like this forever. After this happened<br />
nobody ate any unicorn fruit until this was<br />
fixed. All the unicorns were sad because unicorn<br />
fruit was very yummy and extremely healthy. The<br />
only other thing that was healthy was Kepture<br />
Pebbles which weren't so yummy. Soon they fund<br />
out they will not be thirsty because they had 10x<br />
the amount <strong>of</strong> Kepsi and unicorn drink they<br />
had before. At least we won't suffer for drink!<br />
chuckled Sunflower. Very funny sighed Daisy.
She just wanted to eat some unicorn fruit.<br />
Dandelion had to be captain as she was one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the most powerful unicorns and also it<br />
was because she was the one who found out<br />
about all this. This was her plan. We all need<br />
to find the Miracle Stone and make a recipe<br />
and pour it into the miracle stone The recipe<br />
is to find unicorn weed, magical sand grains<br />
and the last important thing, passion fruit<br />
extract. The miracle stone was to be found<br />
in the cave <strong>of</strong> miracle and stone. Everyone<br />
prepare to get these things. Do it for the gallop,<br />
do it for yourself, announced Dandelion.<br />
Everyone got food, gear and bought every<br />
source <strong>of</strong> magic they had. Every Summer<br />
Unicorn shall get the miracle stone and every<br />
Scout Unicorn shall find the ingredients<br />
for the recipe, called Dandelion, Hospital<br />
Unicorns stay both teams and Aqua you are<br />
the head <strong>of</strong> the scouts. Ok answered Aqua.<br />
Then what do I do? asked Skyla. You must<br />
use your sparkle burst to heal all the unicorn<br />
fruit. But that's boring! whined Skyla.<br />
Do as you are told roared Aqua. Blaa blaa.<br />
said Skyla. Sneakily when all the unicorn<br />
were leaving she gave everyone sparkle burst.<br />
That'll do 'em good. said Skyla. Soon this got<br />
out <strong>of</strong> control. Sparkle Burst was wrecking<br />
the land <strong>of</strong> Keel<strong>of</strong>. Soon the poor unicorns<br />
found out how to control it but they all were<br />
tired. Soon they completed their missions and
came home. When they saw Skyla they turned<br />
her to a fish so that she couldn't cause any<br />
more trouble. They mixed the miracle stone<br />
and the recipe and it worked and even better<br />
Emperor Rascal were becoming weak. The<br />
Unicorns have saved the beautiful Land <strong>of</strong><br />
Keel<strong>of</strong> and the Land <strong>of</strong> Keel<strong>of</strong> was given<br />
Unicorns only doors and with them, they<br />
never had a problem again.<br />
Thanks Harmony for<br />
another great tale.<br />
I wish I had a miracle<br />
stone. I've been having a<br />
touch <strong>of</strong> tusk ache<br />
recently.<br />

The White Queen<br />
by Harmony<br />
In a house not far away there were two children<br />
playing hide and seek. One was called<br />
Brooke and the other one was called Harry.<br />
As Brooke was trying to squeeze into her<br />
hiding place something moved, something<br />
shook and she pushed the door open and<br />
there lay a staircase. Brooke got Harry as<br />
fast as she could and together they climbed<br />
the staircase. When they opened the creepy<br />
door they were sucked into a portal which<br />
took them to a frozen forest. Then a teenager<br />
girl ran up to them. Her name was<br />
Cathy. She told them that she was trying to<br />
escape from The White Queen. She had the<br />
magic white sword which no other weapon<br />
could beat except for the ring <strong>of</strong> freedom.<br />
'Then all we need to do is get the ring <strong>of</strong><br />
freedom.' Brooke said. 'It is not that easy'<br />
Cathy explained. 'It is in the cave <strong>of</strong> freedom<br />
which is guarded by an experienced fighter<br />
called Solo. To defeat her we need the magical<br />
stick <strong>of</strong> ice and snow. 'Where is that?'<br />
asked Harry. It is in the statue <strong>of</strong> the White<br />
Queen which is outside her palace. 'Lets<br />
get in then!' said Brooke. 'Alright!'answered
Cathy. They went to get the magical stick<br />
<strong>of</strong> ice and snow. Together they pulled<br />
the stick out <strong>of</strong> the statue. 'Now we can<br />
defeat Solo!'exclaimed Cathy. They used<br />
the stick to teleport themselves there and<br />
to get the ring. 'Wow that is powerful!'<br />
chuckled Brooke.' Now we have the ring<br />
<strong>of</strong> freedom we can defeat The White<br />
Queen!' exclaimed Cathy! 'Great!' shouted<br />
Harry. Together they defeated The<br />
White Queen. Later they woke up and<br />
thought it was all a dream but in front <strong>of</strong><br />
them they saw the ring <strong>of</strong> freedom...<br />

Oh The Pain!<br />
by Ethan<br />
One sunny morning Dr. Zacery Smith<br />
a world war 1 pilot went to his Spad<br />
8-c1 and put his hand on the wooden<br />
propeller and spun it to start it. He<br />
then got in and the propeller stopped.<br />
"Oh the pain the pain," he said.<br />
He got out, he did it again. He boarded<br />
and he just realised he had not got his<br />
hat.<br />
"The pain oh the pain."<br />
He got out and went in to get his hat<br />
when he got back the plane was trundelling<br />
<strong>of</strong>f down the runway. He got<br />
down on his knees and moaned,<br />
"The pain oh the pain."<br />
He was in battle and his luck changed.<br />
He had shot 72 enemy fighters down.<br />
A fellow pilot called out:<br />
" Help," he said,<br />
"Never fear Smith is here," and he<br />
helped him land and remarked the<br />
pro<strong>of</strong> is in the pudding,"<br />
He went up then down he was going<br />
down.<br />
"I should never fire. Why am I here?<br />
Oh the pain oh the pain."
The write<br />
Knight says:<br />
"Oh the pain indeed Ethan. This is a great<br />
start for a short story. There are a few<br />
questions left unanswered. What happened<br />
to Dr Zachery Smith? Did he make it back<br />
from the battle. I'm sure the readers want<br />
to know. Can we have the next installment<br />
please?"
Secret Staircase<br />
by Edward<br />
Once upon a time there was a boy<br />
called Harry and girl called Nadia.<br />
When they were playing hide and<br />
seek they found a secret staircase.<br />
Suddenly they fell down and went<br />
into a portal. They found themselves<br />
in a frozen forest. They first<br />
saw a frightened goat and it ran<br />
away. Then they saw a stranger he<br />
asked for help. He said he was being<br />
chased by the White Queen. He said<br />
all we needed to defeat her was the<br />
ring <strong>of</strong> freedom. They set <strong>of</strong>f to<br />
find it. They found it in the cave <strong>of</strong><br />
freedom. They took it, defeated the<br />
White Queen and he was free!<br />
Well done Edward for a cool story.<br />
There are lots <strong>of</strong> great stories that have<br />
travel through a portal... like the<br />
fabulous Narnia books by C.S. Lewis.<br />
We'd like to hear more about how they<br />
found the ring and how they defeated<br />
the White Queen."
Zak's Treasure<br />
by Harmony<br />
There was once a boy called Pablo who<br />
was an experienced surfer. When Pablo<br />
saw a dolphin he knelt down to touch it<br />
but the dolphin swam away. He dived in<br />
to see what was happening. Zak the lifeguard<br />
saw this and thought Pablo was in<br />
trouble. He got his surf board and went<br />
to find him. He found Pablo and Pablo<br />
pulled him in! He led him to a sunken<br />
ship which had a treasure chest. He<br />
needed help opening it. They opened it<br />
together and found it full <strong>of</strong> treasure!<br />
They were rich! The two boys got half<br />
each so they were happy but... there was<br />
a shark heading straight for them they<br />
had no flippers or jetpack so they swam<br />
back to their surfboards. Luckily they<br />
made it just on time. Zak swam on his<br />
surf board while Pablo happily began<br />
surfing again.<br />
"That's a sick story Harmony. Like,<br />
totally radical."
Shark Girl and<br />
Marine Girl<br />
by Harmony<br />
There was once two superheros,who protected<br />
the Sembra seas. One called Shark<br />
Girl and the other called Marine Girl. They<br />
had the power <strong>of</strong> breathing underwater,<br />
invisibility and communication with underwater<br />
animals. Shark Girl could scare away<br />
villains by disguising as a shark. Marine<br />
Girl could turn invisible then push waves<br />
at them to scare them away but once when<br />
the Sembra seas was being invaded by<br />
Octoman. None <strong>of</strong> the girl's powers could<br />
make him go away. They also went on land<br />
to see what was happening but land was<br />
being defeated by The Giggler! Nowhere<br />
was safe. Sea with Octoman, land with The<br />
Giggler. Octoman had the power <strong>of</strong> long<br />
grabby tentacles and also the power <strong>of</strong><br />
seeing what other people were doing. The<br />
Giggler had the power <strong>of</strong> size and also the<br />
power <strong>of</strong> speed. Shark girl had to get The<br />
Giggler back in jail and Marine Girl had<br />
to get Octoman back in sea prison. They
were going to need full power to do this.<br />
Marine Girl turned invisible, intending to<br />
turn Octoman into a piece <strong>of</strong> coral and to<br />
do that she had to mix sea sponge with seaweed.<br />
She made the potion and poured it<br />
on Octoman so that the next day he would<br />
turn into a piece <strong>of</strong> coral but it only lasts<br />
for a week. So she stayed invisible until<br />
he turned into coral. She put him in sea<br />
prison. Shark Girl was doing great so far<br />
with The Giggler so she turned invisible<br />
and made a potion out <strong>of</strong> a comet and sap<br />
which could turn him into a flower. She<br />
stayed invisible to see him turn into a flower<br />
and get him back to prison. Great! Now<br />
everywhere was peaceful. THUD!<br />

Combo the Frog<br />
by Harmony<br />
Once upon a time, near the Amazon<br />
River there lived a poison dart frog<br />
called Combo. Combo was caring and<br />
loving to all the other frogs. One day<br />
a parrot called Tribe scared away all<br />

frogs back. Combo found them all as<br />
he knew all their secret hiding places.<br />
Then he explained how Tribe was his<br />
friend and he was doing no harm flying<br />
nearby. Soon every frog was Tribe's<br />
friend.

Captain Khaki<br />
and his Time Travellers!<br />
by Reception class Oakley<br />
School<br />
Captain Khaki led his Time Travellers<br />
through the long grass. SWISH...SWISH...<br />
SWISH...SWISH... The grass felt cold and<br />
sticky.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> a sudden, they could hear a strange<br />
sound.<br />
"Who can hear something?" asked Captain<br />
Khaki.<br />
"I can hear an egg hatching," Lani said.<br />
"You can hear an egg hatching," Captain<br />
Khaki said. "Shall we follow the sound?"<br />
"Yes!" shouted the Time Travellers.<br />
They all moved through the long grass<br />
again. PUSH...PUSH...PUSH...PUSH...<br />
"Stop!" shouted Captain Khaki. "Oh no<br />
everybody, we're stuck in the mud! Quick -
pull <strong>of</strong>f your shoes!"<br />
SQUELTCH...SQUELTCH....<br />
SQUELTCH...<br />
"Stop, I can hear another sound," Captain<br />
Khaki said. "Can anybody else hear it?"<br />
"Yes!" the Time Travellers shouted together.<br />
"Mackenzie, what can you hear?" asked<br />
Captain Khaki.<br />
"A dinosaur," Mackenzie said.<br />
"You can hear a dinosaur," Captain Khaki<br />
said. "Can anyone else hear the dinosaur?"<br />
Nathan said, "I can hear an egg hatching."<br />
"We must be getting closer to the egg,"<br />
Captain Khaki said. "Quick - follow me!"<br />
They all ran. Then they stopped. There was<br />
something chasing them.<br />
"Can anyone see what is chasing us?" asked<br />
Captain Khaki.<br />
Belle said, "It's a dinosaur."<br />
All the Time Travellers looked through their<br />
binoculars.<br />
"What type <strong>of</strong> dinosaur is it?" Captain<br />
Khaki asked.<br />
Luca said, "It's a T-T-T-T-REX!"<br />
Everybody screamed...
AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!"<br />
The Time Travellers curled up on the grass<br />
to try and hide from the T-REX.<br />
"Sadie, look through your binoculars," said<br />
Captain Khaki. "Has he gone?"<br />
"No, he's still there," squeaked Toby. Toby<br />
curled up like an egg.<br />
"The T-REX is still there!" Sadie said.<br />
Everybody ran for their lives. Then they<br />
stopped. There was a massive footprint on<br />
the ground.<br />
Cooper said, "It's really, really big!"<br />
All the Time Travellers and Captain Khaki<br />
jumped into the footprint.<br />
"I hope the T-REX won'f find us in here,"<br />
Captain Khaki said. "Zac - what can you see?"<br />
"The T-REX isn't there," said Zac.<br />
Everyone shouted, "YESSSSS!"<br />
There was something in the sky.<br />
"Can anyone see what it is?" asked Captain<br />
Khaki.<br />
Jessica looked through her binoculars. "It's<br />
a pterodactyl," she said.<br />
Everybody lay flat on the floor and tried to<br />
hide. They pretended to be blades <strong>of</strong> grass.
The pterodactyl swooped down and he tried<br />
to pick up Nathan but Nathan pushed him<br />
<strong>of</strong>f. And he swooped down and he tried<br />
to pick up John but John rolled over. And<br />
he swooped down and he tried to pick up<br />
Mackenzie but Mackenzie said, "No! I'm<br />
trying to find a dinosaur egg. You go away<br />
you thin pterodactyl."<br />
The pterodactyl flew <strong>of</strong>f into the sky.<br />
The Time Travellers looked through their<br />
binoculars again.<br />
"What can you see?" Captain Khaki asked.<br />
Federico pushed the long grass back. "I can<br />
see lots <strong>of</strong> dinosaurs," he said.<br />
Diesel said he could see some short<br />
dinsoaurs. Yani could see some long dinosaurs<br />
eating leaves. There was a tree behind the<br />
dinosaurs.<br />
"There's something behind the tree,"<br />
Captain Khaki said. "It's small, hard and oval<br />
shaped."<br />
"It's an egg," said Cooper.<br />
"It's a dinosaur egg," said Zac.<br />
The Time Travellers crept closer to the egg.<br />
"Don't let the dinosaurs hear us," warned
Captain Khaki. "They will get very angry<br />
if they see us."<br />
Mackenzie picked up the egg and gave<br />
it to Captain Khaki. Everyone said, "It's a<br />
dinosaur egg."<br />
Captain Khaki put it in his pocket to<br />
keep it warm.<br />
The T-REX was right behind the Time<br />
Travellers. He didn't want to eat them. He<br />
just wanted his egg back.<br />
Yani took the egg to Rex and gave it to<br />
him.<br />
Rex said, "THANK YOU VERY<br />
MUCH TIME TRAVELLERS. NOW I'M<br />
NOT IN TROUBLE WITH ROXY MY<br />
WIFE!"<br />
The Mammoth says:<br />
"Thank you reception class for an amazing story<br />
about Captain Khaki and his time travel team.<br />
Your brilliant tale proves that time travel is as<br />
good as its always been!"
Volcano!<br />
by Nicole<br />
A young boy was on a plane then a girl was<br />
waving and the boy came down.<br />
"What do you want?" the boy asked.<br />
"A volcano is going to blow us up!" the girl<br />
said.<br />
Then a bubble came. Then they saw a<br />
white tiger running. It was going to eat them!<br />
It was really fast. It turned black and red<br />
because it was very angry and they were eaten<br />
up and they were never seen again. And all<br />
<strong>of</strong> the animals were very angry and so they<br />
hunted for more people because they were<br />
still hungry and the dinosaurs went with the<br />
animals.<br />
The Mammoth says:<br />
"Thanks for your story Nicole. It's very<br />
dramatic. I'd like to know what happens next!<br />
Will the animals end up fighting the people?"

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor L<strong>of</strong>t and one was called Barry<br />
Skid. Then the race started. They crashed<br />
and made a bubble. They broke everything<br />
in sight. When everything was broken<br />
it popped, then there came another and<br />
another and another. It carried on the same<br />
way making new things and destroying<br />
everything, doing the same thing over and<br />
over and over again. When the race carried<br />
on, Barry Skid won.<br />

to come and take on Germanicus so he<br />
didn't have to get involved as he was to<br />
important for that! Who saw an emperor<br />
getting his hands dirty on a mere man<br />
with a silly name called Germanicus which<br />
reminded him <strong>of</strong> a plant!!!!<br />
The men <strong>of</strong> the village clashed with<br />
Germanicus and loss against the legions<br />
<strong>of</strong> soldiers rebelling Emperor Augusta was<br />
trapped with only 10 men by his side will<br />
they fail or will it be a strong last stand??<br />
Germanicus was standing over Augusta<br />
laughing and plunged his spear into him<br />
screaming viva le revolution then laughed<br />
over the corpse the tyrant was dead!!

food. Germanicus was a great Emperor<br />
kind, gentle, thoughtful and forgiving.<br />
Emperor Germanicus had a lovely wife<br />
Natella and 6 kids and the empire stayed<br />
stable for centuries the end.<br />
Author Robin Price says:<br />
"Well done Alfie on an amazing<br />
story! You forgot to give it a title<br />
so we decided to call it Viva Le<br />
Revolution! I hope that's OK. One<br />
<strong>of</strong> the things I like to do when I'm<br />
stuck for a title is to pick a word or a<br />
phrase that sticks out from what I've<br />
already written, and make that into<br />
the title."
The Time Machine<br />
by Ethan and Chaz<br />
One day, three scientists were building a<br />
time machine and two wanted to test it but<br />
James Burck did not think it was ready!<br />
Herbert Gross and Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Pollyac<strong>of</strong>f<br />
jumped into the silver, smooth sleek gadget<br />
and boom - they jolted through time and<br />
appeared in the Trojan time inside the<br />
Trojan horse.<br />
"Wow we're here in the Trojan<br />
horse,"said Pollyac<strong>of</strong>f.<br />
"Wow, Athena has given us two brutal<br />
warriors, on with their battle suits! Give<br />
them the finest in the land."<br />
Suddenly they dissappeared. James<br />
Burke had managed to transfer them in<br />
time. But they were not home! They were<br />
in a strange land.<br />
A hover car zooooooooooooooooooo<br />
oooooooooooooooomed past Pollyac<strong>of</strong>f.<br />
He was saying "Wow!" to all the science<br />
around him. Then an old man came up<br />
and said:<br />
“Those clothes remind me <strong>of</strong> the old<br />
days!"
“They ARE!” said Pollyac<strong>of</strong>f. “Have<br />
you seen a time machine around?" asked<br />
Pollyac<strong>of</strong>f.<br />
“yes it is oveeeeesaaaaaaaaaaahghgjjxcj”<br />
and he was dead like that.<br />
And they were transferred like that. And<br />
they appeared on D-Day.<br />
On the ship that carried them to France<br />
the sergeant said:<br />
"Load the cannons and get into the mini<br />
boats! We've arrived on hell zone."<br />
All the Germans loaded their guns. And<br />
James got a gun and shot 23. They took<br />
revenge they threw 3 gas cans in different<br />
directions. One English soldier quickly<br />
feched the gas masks, and handed them<br />
out. They got there shoveles and dug a<br />
bunker. But then James B and Pollyac<strong>of</strong>f<br />
dissappeared before they got shot.<br />
The Mammoth says:<br />
"Well done Ethan and Chaz on a gripping story.<br />
War is hell! I hear that Michael Morpurgo has<br />
written a book about a war horse. Perhaps someone<br />
can write a book about a war mammoth - as<br />
long as it does not get killed at the end!"

Once there was a hero called Tefnut.<br />
Tefnut had a friend called Shu but Tefnut's<br />
cousin Terset did not like Shu and Terset<br />
was against Shu. And so Terset locked Shu<br />
in a mummy case and only Terset had the<br />
key to the mummy case. So Tefnut had to<br />
rescue his friend. Terset hid the mummy<br />
case deep inside a pyramid. Tefnut knew<br />
that it was hidden deep inside the pyramid.<br />
So Tefnut set <strong>of</strong> in his chariot along the<br />
long hot desert to the pyramid. When<br />
Tefnut arrived at the gigantic pyramid he<br />
quickly got out <strong>of</strong> his chariot and rushed<br />
into the tall big pyramid and found the<br />
mummy case. He heard Terset coming<br />
towards him and he wondered where to<br />
hide. But he couldn't find anywhere to<br />
hide. Terset was coming closer he could<br />
now hear Terset’s footstep’s so Tefnut<br />
hid in a mummy case Terset walked past<br />
Tefnut. Then Tefnut got out and went<br />
to Shu’s mummy case. Now when Terset<br />
walked past the mummy case, Tefnut stole<br />
the key to the case. And then Tefnut and
his dear friend Shu crept along the long<br />
corridors out <strong>of</strong> the big pyramid and into<br />
Tefnut’s chariot. He shouted “Great! You<br />
rescued me Tefnut! Why don’t we go to<br />
celebrate back home?"<br />
When they got home on Tefnut's chariot.,<br />
Tefnut asked Shu “Are you alright?”<br />
Shu said "Why don’t you tell the whole<br />
town about what happened?”<br />
“Great idea Shu!” said Tefnut.<br />

The Two Pharoahs<br />
by Isabel and Izzie<br />
There were once two pharaohs who were<br />
both very wise. One lived in the pyramids<br />
and the other in the desert. However one<br />
was mean and one was nice. The nice one<br />
was called Anubis and the mean pharaoh<br />
was called Sekmet.<br />
It was a dark gloomy night and Sekmet<br />
tried to break into the pyramid. He got<br />
in but stepped on a creaking floorboard<br />
"Rrrr!" went the floorboard. Out <strong>of</strong><br />
nowhere came all Anubis's guards including<br />
Ra ma'at and Anubis's daughters Izzrella<br />
and Isabella.<br />
"Aaaahhhh!" shouted out Sekmet. He<br />
ran out the castle afraid.<br />
The next night, yet again Sekmet broke<br />
in and got past the creaking floorboard<br />
and stole Anubis's crown and they got<br />
past the creaking floorboard and out the<br />
pyramid. The next day Anubis woke up<br />
and screamed for his favorite crown was<br />
gone!!!<br />
"What's wrong your royal highness?"<br />
said the servants.
"Mmmm my crown's gone! Completely<br />
gone!"<br />
"Well who would steal such a special<br />
crown?" they asked.<br />
"I don't know but we have to find out<br />
because that crown has been in the family<br />
for years."<br />
"Right away sir!" said the guards.<br />
"At the dead <strong>of</strong> night we shall sneak into<br />
Sekmet's castle because I am sure he stole<br />
my crown. For he is greedy."<br />
"You are so ingenious what a good idea!"<br />
said the royal guard.<br />
So in the dead <strong>of</strong> night Anubis and his<br />
guards broke into Sekmet's castle got his<br />
crown and crept back to his own castle.<br />
"Welcome home!" said Anubis.<br />
The next morning Sekmet woke up<br />
"Oooooooo no no no! My new crown<br />
gone completely gone!" said Sekmet.<br />
And he was never known for stealing<br />
again!<br />
The Mammoth says:<br />
"Thank you Isabel and Izzie for a great story. I<br />
would like to visit the pyramids but Egypt looks<br />
a bit hot for mammoths."
R.I.P. Agent S<br />
by Ffion, Louie and Lucy<br />
A long time ago there was an epic fight in which<br />
brave heroes fought and fell…<br />
R.I.P agent S. Saturn is very grateful.<br />
We begin on Sammy's home moon Titan,<br />
he loved it so much. From the glowing sea<br />
to the vibrant sky. The only thing he didn’t<br />
like was his smelly manky unicorn brother.<br />
His life was fine. Then the evil lord<br />
Hammy's space shuttle loomed over<br />
Saturn. All unicorn forces were lost (UAF,<br />
URN). Sammy's family and friends were<br />
gone into the shuttle screaming for their<br />
lives.<br />
Sammy whizzed round Saturn blowing<br />
sparkle dust at the menacing space<br />
hamsters. The evil lord Hammy was going<br />
to eat Saturn's cheese rings.<br />
"Oh no!" Sammy cried.<br />
"Oh yes!" Hammy replied spiraling his<br />
furry hands plotting his next evil plot.<br />
"Minion 11, minion 12 and 13!"<br />
They instantly rushed forward and<br />
"It's me!"
pinned Sammy down.<br />
"BO YA!" shouted the hamster. A sharp<br />
needle headed towards Sammy's face<br />
threatening him. He blasted his sparkle<br />
dust but it was no use. Sammy was surely<br />
done for. And he was...<br />
The needle punctured his face terribly.<br />
His blood floated into outer space. No<br />
sparkle left in it. Then John his annoying<br />
smelly brother wrestled lord Hammy to<br />
the ground.<br />
"I'm going to make ham out <strong>of</strong> you..."<br />
You may be wonder what happened next<br />
John did make ham out <strong>of</strong> him. All was<br />
happy....<br />
Horatio the Hamster says:<br />
"At last a story about hamsters! Well done you<br />
three on a fantastic story. Personally, I liked the<br />
part about the cheese rings! I don't suppose you<br />
have any <strong>of</strong> those left do you?"<br />
Horatio the Hamster says:<br />
"Here I am again!"
The Sniper<br />
by Oliver<br />
"BANG!" The British soldiers were being<br />
battered by the German artillery! Everyone<br />
was blinded by the hovering dust floating<br />
into there bloodshot eyes. The smell <strong>of</strong><br />
smoke and gunpowder overwhelmed most<br />
<strong>of</strong> the soldiers as the machine gun bullets<br />
flew, sometimes into a soldier. Most <strong>of</strong><br />
the soldiers would duck and the ones that<br />
didn't, well that's another story...<br />
In a tunnel, almost touching the German<br />
trench, 3 people listened to the German<br />
conversation<br />
"We have to get the message to Manfred!"<br />
The 3 young men hurried back to the<br />
trench. Suddenly: "Boom!"<br />
They were now running across no mans<br />
land "BANG!"<br />
Dirt fell over the 2 corpses, but one was<br />
still alive. He ran and dived into the trench<br />
"They've got a secret message, we need to<br />
get it!"<br />
Harry, a British sniper, was doing his job,<br />
and well. He wasn't very good at hitting the<br />
Germans, but he's good at scaring them.<br />
"Hey Harry you doing well with that<br />
Enfield. Anyway we need you to take this,
this could save your life."<br />
The general seemed angry.<br />
"It's only a pistol?!"<br />
"Well it's better than an Enfield at close<br />
range 'aint it?"<br />
The mud slowed the soldiers down<br />
sticking there wet feet into the sorrowed<br />
ground where their friends were shot.<br />
Explosions did their thing all around, noone<br />
could get out <strong>of</strong> the trench... Or they'd<br />
die!<br />
"We need that secret message, the war<br />
might depend on it!"<br />
"Why it's probably just a piece <strong>of</strong> rubbish,<br />
'aint it?"<br />
"We need it!"<br />
The anonymous man walked slowly over<br />
to the door...<br />
Suddenly, he reached out a hand, grabbed<br />
something and pulled "it" in!<br />
"Harry, how long have you been there?!<br />
I said how long have you been there?!!"<br />
"Umm... Urr... j..j...just walking past."<br />
Harry stuttered and shivered until the<br />
anonymous figure pushed Harry out <strong>of</strong><br />
the door, slamming it in his face. Harry<br />
had actually been there listening for a<br />
while now<br />
"I survived I..I survived!"<br />
He knew he was lucky, did they notice?!?!
"Listen up maggots! This is what you<br />
signed up for so you better listen for once<br />
in your lives! We need a secret message<br />
that they've got, so listen to the plan."<br />
Silence.<br />
No-one dared to speak.<br />
"So we've got to get into their trench,<br />
which is going to be dang..."<br />
"Hey i'm not risking my life to get a<br />
piece <strong>of</strong> rolled up paper in some scum's<br />
pocket."<br />
"Well on your bike then!" said the man.<br />
So he walked <strong>of</strong>f, away from the trench<br />
and in a split second he was shot.<br />
"That's what happens to cowards."<br />
The man kept on talking until everyone<br />
knew the suicidal plan.<br />
"Phew!"<br />
The snipers seemed not to rest, and the<br />
artillery didn't either.<br />
"Ok it's time, we're going to get that<br />
message!"<br />
There was a big cheer before they jumped<br />
up the side <strong>of</strong> the muddy trench that smelt<br />
<strong>of</strong> horse dung.<br />
"Charge!"<br />
Guns were blazing out from both sides<br />
<strong>of</strong> the blood bath. Harry jumped into the<br />
trench and found he needed the pistol!<br />
Engraved on the side it said:
"Good luck"<br />
He ran up and shot the general in the<br />
now blood red patch on his uniform. He<br />
looked through his pockets eventually<br />
finding the message. He ran as fast as he<br />
could. Sprinted, across no-mans land. He<br />
jumped. In mid-air a bullet hit him in the<br />
chest.<br />
A deathly scream leaked from his blood<br />
filled mouth. He carried on running<br />
straight to the general.<br />
"I got it..."<br />
His hand stretched out and forced the<br />
general to have it. He dropped dead.<br />
Author Robin Price says:<br />
"This is a very atmospheric tale and<br />
you've nailed the description. I liked<br />
they way that the personality <strong>of</strong> the<br />
characters came out in their speaking.<br />
it was a brilliant ending - but sad.<br />
TIp: Remember to use 'said' or 'shouted'<br />
when there are a couple <strong>of</strong> characters<br />
talking - then we won't lose track<br />
<strong>of</strong> who is saying what."

Tiger Lily<br />
by Annabel P<br />
Staggering figures surrounded the<br />
battered old cottage; some already tripping<br />
their way into the garden. Robin was lying,<br />
pale green by Tiger Lily's side. Now she<br />
could here fumble feet lolloping up the<br />
rotting stairway. Robin was still lifeless; he
had been since stepped on that rusty nail.<br />
His foot was oozing blood that, if she<br />
didn't act soon, would be in the hands <strong>of</strong><br />
the former inhabitants <strong>of</strong> Oakley.<br />
Frantically fingering rubber bands and<br />
skewers Tiger Lily formed a makeshift<br />
slingshot and prepared for combat.<br />
Of course she wanted to hide first so<br />
she gingerly tip toed across precarious<br />
floorboards dragging Robin's crippled<br />
body behind her. She wasn't sure why,<br />
maybe she needed a tiny piece <strong>of</strong> hope<br />
that she wasn't completely deserted-yet.<br />
From the 'safety' <strong>of</strong> the dusty cabinet<br />
Tiger Lily spied gnarly hands splintering<br />
the remains <strong>of</strong> the door. Her clammy<br />
grasp gripped the little ammo she had and<br />
she tried not to make a sound. The leader<br />
<strong>of</strong> the group aka the former mayor but<br />
now his pupils were ghostly white, his right<br />
ribcage bones was showing and his bow tie<br />
was askew. He lurched into the chaotically<br />
messy cottage. His right eye rolled out <strong>of</strong><br />
its socket and slithered unnervingly close<br />
to the cabinet where Tiger Lily crouched<br />
in wait…<br />
Tiger Lily held her breath until her face<br />
turned blue and with a deep sigh she let<br />
her breath go! The bloodshot horror<br />
immediately whizzed round and met with
Tiger Lily’s wide petrified eyes just visible<br />
through the crack between the cabinet<br />
doors. Her heart stopped and she jumped<br />
out firing skewers left and right nuclear<br />
flesh splattering on the peeling wallpaper.<br />
She frantically racked her brains for an<br />
escape plan. A cough spluttered behind<br />
her as Robin hung on to his last seconds<br />
<strong>of</strong> life and then fell hopelessly to the<br />
ground. And with that Tiger Lily’s hopes<br />
<strong>of</strong> a last friend was dashed like a guttering<br />
candle sputtering out. With salty tears<br />
spilling down her scarred cheeks she was<br />
even more determined to overthrow this<br />
staggering horde he charged recklessly at<br />
the surrounding grey/ green figures.<br />
A flick <strong>of</strong> a powerful boot- one head sent<br />
rolling. A pain filled punch- limbs bouncing<br />
<strong>of</strong> the walls. Disembodied hands clawed<br />
Tiger Lily’s feet and with a deft swipe <strong>of</strong> a<br />
kitchen knife and they were no more.<br />
Finally all the nuclear monsters were<br />
vanquished or so she thought for a flesh<br />
crawling groan made her blood run ice<br />
cold. Tiger Lily skidded round on glowing<br />
guts only to see the looming lime green<br />
silhouette <strong>of</strong> Robin staggering dangerously<br />
close to where she lay. With great regrets
and tears glistening with her tragic past<br />
Tiger Lily leapt up and kicked Robin<br />
through the hole in the mahogany door<br />
and then pursued him over to the staircase<br />
where she closed her eyes and wrestled<br />
Robin <strong>of</strong>f the landing. But, as he fell to<br />
the ground he yanked on her torn top and<br />
his tight grip sent Tiger Lily descending to<br />
her death too. As her hopeless body hit the<br />
floor with a deathly thud her last thoughts<br />
were a hope <strong>of</strong> a next generation and a<br />
new beginning…<br />
Horatio the Hamster says:<br />
"Thank you Annabel for another<br />
prime cut <strong>of</strong> spookiness for my<br />
hamster house <strong>of</strong> horror! Now I need<br />
to go and lie down in some straw."<br />
"Look another picture <strong>of</strong> me!"
The Train<br />
by Kirsty<br />
In the woods, there is an abandoned<br />
railway track near a relinquish house. I've<br />
heard the story many times, and no one<br />
near on the 13th. Always the 13th. Eerie<br />
green moss surrounds the ro<strong>of</strong> and you<br />
can always the dripping. Dripping <strong>of</strong> blood<br />
they say. When you walk froe you hear the<br />
snapping <strong>of</strong> sticks, like the snapping <strong>of</strong><br />
bones.<br />
At the 12th hour, they say, you can hear<br />
the bellowing <strong>of</strong> a train and the scream <strong>of</strong><br />
a woman and a cry <strong>of</strong> a baby, but not <strong>of</strong> a<br />
man. He does not care if you’re alone, or<br />
if you’re with friends. He will summon the<br />
train!<br />
The story goes like this…<br />
A baby and its mum were killed in the<br />
night by a train, but the stabbing marks<br />
were unforgeable and they all fort that the<br />
husband did it but they had no pro<strong>of</strong>.<br />
I think he did it like this. At the dead<br />
<strong>of</strong> night, when his family were sleeping,<br />
he stabbed them and placed them on the<br />
railway track.<br />
So many clues, some making no sense,
ut never go near when his sprite is here.<br />
He kills you if you go near him for fear you<br />
know what he did. You probably should<br />
not have read this because now he knows<br />
you know what he did ……<br />
Horatio the Hamster says:<br />
"Thanks Kirsty. Your ghost story was<br />
so spooky that I fell <strong>of</strong>f my hamster<br />
wheel. I was so scared that I gave up<br />
burying nuts for a week!"<br />

He clicked the switch however one nugas<br />
got in. He had to fight. He started to walk<br />
backwards while reloading. He tripped over<br />
and found himself pinned. He powered<br />
his gun on and started shooting. A direct<br />
hit he shot and the nugas fainted. In this<br />
new room he found tanks full <strong>of</strong> flux and<br />
flesh going into a machine. There was a<br />
door to his right and a something else to<br />
his left. Very scared he started to move to<br />
the right door. The door had a keypad but<br />
there was a vent to his left so Linwood<br />
Warwick got into the vent.<br />
It was getting hot very fast and he could<br />
see the heater at the end. He pointed his
space gun towards the heater and shot.<br />
*click click* He was out <strong>of</strong> ammo he had<br />
more but could not get it round to reload<br />
it. It got hotter. He was at the end but<br />
nearly burnt to death he dropped onto the<br />
floor on the other side <strong>of</strong> the door.<br />
He got up to find lots and lots <strong>of</strong> random<br />
glass tubes with space aliens in! He ran<br />
across the ramp going up to find a huge<br />
metal door. He reloaded his space gun and<br />
hit the open button.<br />
"Hello human my name is Velly a space<br />
alien who will take over the galaxy! With<br />
these clones and this time machine I will<br />
take over all galaxies! Time to die puny<br />
human. The door shut behind him and<br />
three steel walls closed around him. The<br />
walls started to close in. He shot the pipes<br />
but nothing happened. The only plan out<br />
is to go into the pipes where the toxic air<br />
is! He better hold his breath... His heart<br />
pumped as we climbed up though the<br />
pipes. Click he was out. The time machine<br />
sparked to life as Linwood Warwick got<br />
out. He had to act fast so he jumped onto<br />
Velly and held him down. The metal doors
opened once again and tons <strong>of</strong> clones start<br />
pumping in! Linwood Warwick Jumped up and<br />
ran to the newly opened time machine.<br />
He landed on the other side <strong>of</strong> the portal<br />
he saw Velly working on the portal still he saw<br />
Linwood Warwick and freaked out "Ah how<br />
did you get past my maze and my clones and<br />
everything!?" shouted Velly. Linwood Warwick<br />
kicked Velly to the side and shouted "Take that<br />
alien!" He found some bombs in the corned set<br />
them <strong>of</strong>f and ran for is life. Out the door and<br />
round the corner and up the stair case and across<br />
the grass and into the rocket. "Full Throttle!" he<br />
shouted. And as Linwood Warwick flew away<br />
as the huge bomb went <strong>of</strong>f behind him.<br />
The end.<br />

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

Amazon the Elf<br />
by Ruby and Maddie<br />
"RUN!" Amazon the elf shouted to Asia, the<br />
tree-spirit, as the bombs started to shower the<br />
forest. Suddenly they were taken <strong>of</strong>f their feet by<br />
a massive gust <strong>of</strong> wind. They fell with a bump,and<br />
all around them were purple and cornflower blue<br />
trees. A mournful moan echoed through the silent<br />
forest, Asia's spine began to prickle with fear. A<br />
ghostly pale figure lay by a SUPER tall tree, its<br />
knotted back supporting him. He seemed to be the<br />
one groaning.<br />
''Quick!'' yelled Asia ''the first aid kit!''.<br />
Amazon grabbed the first aid kit and turned to the<br />
pale man, then she found the right sized bandage<br />
and strapped it around the poor mans head.<br />
''feel better?'' asked Asia<br />
''yes thank you'' croaked the old man.<br />
Then suddenly, the old man was not an old man<br />
any more he... was... a... VAMPIRE!!!<br />
''Uh oh...'' muttered Amazon ''LETS GET OUT<br />
OF HERE!!!''<br />
As they ran through the haunting trees, leaves<br />
began to fall so quickly it hurt. It was as if the forest<br />
was trying to slow them down.<br />
Well, it was working. Slowly the leaves swarmed<br />
them ... then it all went black.
The Bunker<br />
By Cameron<br />
Jason woke up. "Where am I?" remarked<br />
Jason. He looked around to find he was in<br />
a large bunker hidden in a mountain. The<br />
massive door 10 meters high was wide open.<br />
he heard a loud crash and everything went<br />
white then red and then black. Clouds <strong>of</strong><br />
dust pondered around the sky and the only<br />
sound was the screams <strong>of</strong> the ones around<br />
him. He fell to the floor and fainted.<br />
Jason woke up wearily and turned around.<br />
a pile <strong>of</strong> blood lustring bones ran towards<br />
him. Quickly he killed in the chest and it feel<br />
to its knees. Jason didn't feel safe "Hello!”<br />
Shouted Jason. He walked towards the door<br />
then remembered how defenceless he was<br />
and went to find a weapon. He sat down in<br />
the armoury and grabbed a small rifle. he<br />
heard a groan behind the door. He slowly<br />
crept towards the door. The groan grew<br />
louder and louder.<br />
He opened the door ...<br />
A horde <strong>of</strong> zombies charged at him tearing<br />
at each other tearing each other. He ran to<br />
the exit, slammed the door and froze.<br />
"Zombies can ride blooming tanks?!"
Bang. Bang. Bang. The rain <strong>of</strong> fire hit the<br />
tanks gears and a loud creak from the tank and<br />
very suddenly the tank burst into flames. The<br />
door to the empty world was open and even<br />
more zombies lay ahead. Jason head towards<br />
a small camp just north <strong>of</strong> the bunker. "more<br />
zombies" he thought but actually there were<br />
some survivors .<br />
They aimed there pistols at him. "no more<br />
zombies!" said a small child in the camp<br />
"No! I'm human"shouted Jason. They<br />
believed him apart from the small child.<br />
“You know were going to die, right? “said<br />
the little boy.<br />
"Yes! And there’s no changing that."<br />
The Hamster <strong>of</strong> Horror says:<br />
"Well done Cameron for sending us a<br />
second brilliant story! Last month it<br />

Vikings<br />
by Lucy and Cameron<br />
“What have you done now, Siv?” yelled<br />
Astrid furiously.<br />
“It’s only a broach, it won’t do anything,<br />
at least I don’t think so anyway,” replied<br />
Siv, nervously.<br />
Suddenly an arrow shot through Astrid’s<br />
silky hair and landed on the map.<br />
“Aaaggghhh!” screamed Siv, turning to<br />
see one hundred longships. They scurried<br />
to hide but couldn’t find anywhere. They<br />
crouched in a corner breathing heavily. The<br />
walls seemed to close in on their beating<br />
hearts. Siv was petrified and couldn’t move.<br />
Stunned. The silence was deathly.<br />
The door crashed down onto the hard,<br />
wooden floor. A soldier appeared. Siv<br />
swung her axe wildly, decapitating him. Siv<br />
dropped her axe in fear and very quietly<br />
and slowly muttered, “I killed someone.”<br />
She nearly fainted and ran over into the<br />
woods, leaving Astrid alone.<br />
Her eyes set on fire as she charged to the<br />
sure, massacring the men to her left and<br />
her right. As she reached the bloody sea,<br />
she got her bow and aimed directly at the
man at the back <strong>of</strong> the boat.<br />
“You have come to kill my men for a<br />
flipping broach that you have no right to.<br />
Olaf – you’re dead to me!”<br />
Olaf, the man on the boat, stood up but<br />
before he could mutter a word, Astrid’s<br />
fingers released her bow and the arrow<br />
hurtled right into his eye. He tumbled<br />
back, lifeless. The remaining ships fled in<br />
terror.<br />
The rustling <strong>of</strong> leaves could be heard.<br />
Siv appeared, smiling. “That was a close<br />
call Astrid,” Siv laughed.
Viking Attack!<br />
by Verity and Jacob<br />
“Get the bows ready Tate,” reminded<br />
Wulfric. “There might be Vikings so make<br />
sure we’re ready,” he shouted.<br />
As Tate scurried down the stairs, he<br />
carried on loading the rest <strong>of</strong> the bows<br />
he had. He thought he heard a crash but<br />
ignored it and carried on loading bows.<br />
Meanwhile, Magnus shouted to Astrid.<br />
“Get ready to attack. Our mission is to<br />
capture that pesky girl Tate, once and for<br />
all!”<br />
As the two Vikings burst through the<br />
door, Tate tried to scurry back up the<br />
stairs, but both ways were blocked with<br />
a locked door and the Viking, Magnus,<br />
charged at Tate to capture her, growling,<br />
“You’re coming with us!”<br />
But before he could say no, she pushed<br />
him down the stairs. As Magnus landed on<br />
Astrid, Tate managed to open the strong<br />
door and shout, “Viking attack! Viking<br />
attack!” to Wulfric.<br />
Chaos was filling the poor village.<br />
Children were screaming, houses were<br />
burning, dogs were barking. There was
much torture that the Vikings had made<br />
and back at the tower, before Tate could<br />
open the last door to get to Wulfric. The<br />
Vikings sprinted up the stairs and managed<br />
to bundle Tate into a bag. She struggled to<br />
breathe and her mouth was moving, but<br />
there were no words. Just silence…<br />

Five Coins<br />
by Joshua and Lexi<br />
“Quick, the Romans are going to get the<br />
coins,” whispered Lucia.<br />
“Ok, Ok,” answered Titus, diving to the<br />
first coin. “Got it!” he shouted.<br />
“Yes, but we still have four to go,”<br />
whispered Lucia.<br />
They looked around the temple for<br />
a while, looking for the second coin.<br />
Suddenly, a whole army <strong>of</strong> Roman soldiers<br />
marched into the room.<br />
“Quick, get behind this box,” whispered<br />
Lucia.<br />
When the army had walked away, Lucia<br />
and Titus looked in the box. There were<br />
clothes.<br />
“There’s nothing but clothes in here,”<br />
said Titus. “Wait, what’s that?”<br />
“It’s the second coin,” said Lucia.<br />
“Ok,” said Titus. “Let’s go and find the<br />
other three.”<br />
They walked into a room. There was a<br />
tall man in there. Titus and Lucia stepped<br />
back.<br />
“I have been waiting for you two,” said<br />
the tall man. “Are you looking for these?”
“Oh no, it’s the three coins,” said Lucia.<br />
“W-We...are...looking for them,” said<br />
Titus.<br />
“Well, you will have to get through me,”<br />
shouted the tall man, pulling out a sword.<br />
“How will we get the coins?” said Titus.<br />
“I have a plan,” said Lucia. “Go and hide<br />
and I will sneak up behind him and get the<br />
coins!”<br />
Titus went and hid while Lucia snuck up<br />
behind the tall man.<br />
“I am not playing hide and seek children,”<br />
the man said.<br />
Suddenly he felt his hand shake. It was<br />
Lucia taking the coins.<br />
“Quick!” shouted Lucia, “Run!”<br />
She shouted to Titus. They both ran out<br />
leaving the tall man shouting, “Noooooo!”<br />
When Titus and Lucia got home they<br />
put the coins back in their place.<br />

Great Roman story!"
Theseus<br />
and<br />
the Lion<br />
A re-imagining <strong>of</strong> Theseus<br />
and the Minotaur<br />
by Izzy R (Yr 4)<br />
A long time ago there lived a king<br />
called Minos who lived in Crete. He had<br />
a ferocious pet lion which he kept in a<br />
maze under his palace. The lion had a<br />
mane as golden and the sun and piercing<br />
eyes that glowed brightly in the pitch black<br />
darkness. His fur was thick and rough. He<br />
had s<strong>of</strong>t paws and long muscly front legs.<br />
His mouth was big and wide, ready to eat<br />
and his teeth were as sharp as knives. His<br />
tail was like a whip. The lion had to be fed<br />
every nine years.<br />
King Minos and the King <strong>of</strong> Athens<br />
didn’t like each other at all. They were<br />
always fighting like two children arguing.
So the King <strong>of</strong> Athens made a deal with<br />
King Minos that if the King <strong>of</strong> Athens<br />
sent seven boys and seven girls every nine<br />
years to be eaten, King Minos had to leave<br />
the King <strong>of</strong> Athens alone.<br />
After a few years, Prince Theseus<br />
decided to go to Crete as one <strong>of</strong> the seven<br />
boys. His father begged him not to go but<br />
Theseus, the brave, strong prince insisted.<br />
After a few days it was time for the<br />
seven girls and seven boys to set sail to<br />
Crete. “I’ve had enough. I want to kill this<br />
dreadful, hideous beast,” said Theseus. So<br />
they sailed to Crete. It was a horrible, tiring,<br />
dreadful journey. Finally they got to Crete<br />
at the King’s palace. Prince Theseus and<br />
the other children were greeted by King<br />
Minos and his beautiful daughter, Ariadne.<br />
One night Princess Ariadne wrote a letter<br />
for Prince Theseus and told him that if he<br />
took her away from Crete then she would<br />
help him defeat the lion.<br />
Later that night, Theseus met Ariadne<br />
and she gave him a shiny sharp sword<br />
and a huge ball <strong>of</strong> string. Prince Theseus<br />
thanked Princess Ariadne very much for<br />
helping to kill the hideous monstrous<br />
beast.<br />
The next day, Prince Theseus and the
other children got pushed into the maze<br />
where the gruesome lion lived.<br />
“Stay here!” explained Theseus to the<br />
boys and girls.<br />
Theseus tied the string to the maze door<br />
and unravelled it until he reached the<br />
middle part where the lion stood. Theseus<br />
pulled up his sword and made a move.<br />
The lion was charging at him. As the lion<br />
came near, Theseus killed and stabbed<br />
the ferocious lion. After that, Theseus<br />
followed the string back to the door.<br />
Theseus and the children came out <strong>of</strong><br />
the twisty maze and crept quietly into the<br />
boat so that King Minos wouldn’t notice.<br />
Prince Theseus kept his word and took<br />
Princess Ariadne away from Crete with<br />
him.<br />
While they were sailing, Prince Theseus<br />
needed to stop on an island for equipment<br />
and Princess Ariadne wanted to rest so<br />
they went onto the island and Ariadne<br />
fell fast asleep. Theseus decided to set sail<br />
and he left beautiful Ariadne on the small<br />
island but he still kept his word!
The Mammoth says:<br />
"Amazing story! I don't know<br />
about everyone else but I am<br />
dying to know what happened to<br />
Ariadne next. Did she live happily<br />
ever after on the island? Or was<br />
it infested with angry Cyclops?"<br />
Author Robin Price says:<br />
"This is a total epic. Well done Izzy!"

PRINCESS<br />
IS GONE!<br />
by Niamh and Annabelle<br />
"THE PRINCESS IS GONE!" roared<br />
the dragon and he started destroying his<br />
nest and he got so tired he died so he<br />
never bothered the princess. There was<br />
a problem: the dragon had a secret baby<br />
dragon tucked up in his nest so it fell out<br />
and is awake<br />
As the baby dragon grew up it started<br />
flying and spying and he soon found Gretel<br />
and the princess. After a few years he was<br />
ready to go out <strong>of</strong> were his nest used to be,<br />
so before he did that he picked up Gretel<br />
and the princess and said "THANK YOU,"<br />
because they made his mum not be able to<br />
stop him from going away from his nest.

with a sack <strong>of</strong> money. I went after him<br />
then I turned invisible. X-TEC punched<br />
him really high like a rocket. The Poker<br />

X-TEC morphed into a ant he went after<br />
the poker. when he saw him he turned<br />
back into normal size.<br />
"Come back here..."<br />
To be continued.<br />

Billy The Unicorn<br />
by Joseph<br />
Billy is a unicorn. He can fly and he<br />
flies right into the sky. One day he went<br />
to the moon and there were hamsters and<br />
they started fighting him. He flies and<br />
shoots rainbows out <strong>of</strong> his mouth and<br />
he was sooo cute that they all want to be<br />

Tie Fighter<br />
by Cameron B<br />
Ray ran through the forest. He stopped for a<br />
moment he stopped and then the ground gave in<br />
to his feet and fell into the depths <strong>of</strong> an imperial<br />
hanger stock full <strong>of</strong> tie fighters.<br />
"Flipping heck! It had to be tie fighters!"<br />
A rain <strong>of</strong> fire flew past him as he fell closer<br />
to the ground. He struck out his saber and hit<br />
the wall so he slid down to the bottom. There he<br />
was... Kylo Wren.<br />
"You weak soul,think you're a Jedi, but just a<br />
boy ready to die" boomed Kylo Wren.<br />
He struck out his light saber and charged faster<br />
than a laser at Ray. He struck his blade against the<br />
floor and sparks flew around the hanger fearlessly.<br />
The room was dark and dreary. The blades clashed<br />
lightening up the room. Ray ran to the hanger to<br />
find Biggs's x-wing and Bigs waiting by it shooting<br />
the storm troopers,<br />
"Get in" he shouted and Ray barely made it.<br />
They flew <strong>of</strong> only to find an Imperial fleet <strong>of</strong> tie<br />
fighters heading right for them.He fired nonstop,<br />
hoping to hit them. One exploded and the debris<br />
hit them sending them to the ground <strong>of</strong> Kaysheek<br />
in flames.<br />
The Mammoth says: Brilliant story!!!<br />
The words are strong in this one!"
Edward and the Vikings<br />
by SOPHIE R <strong>of</strong> Edward Bryant<br />
School<br />
Chapter 1<br />
The Fight<br />
“Let me go!” spluttered Edward as<br />
the harsh Vikings pinned him down and<br />
started looking through his pockets. It<br />
was easy to see because the moon was<br />
now gazing down solemnly at the terrified<br />
people, with blood pouring down them<br />
and also at the frightened Anglo Saxons<br />
fighting <strong>of</strong>f the Vikings.<br />
Poor Edward now was very weak and<br />
out <strong>of</strong> breath. He made an escape with<br />
a bloody looking sword and shield held<br />
tightly in his scarred hands. Edward was<br />
also very frightened and scared because<br />
not only had he been cut but a big crowd<br />
<strong>of</strong> Vikings on horses were cascading right<br />
towards him. His heart was pounding faster<br />
and faster. The horses were going at top<br />
speed towards him. Suddenly there was a<br />
giant WHACK! as the Vikings catapulted
themselves at Edward and all the fierce<br />
charging <strong>of</strong> the horses, knocked him out.<br />
Now a big red cut, from his eye to his ear,<br />
appeared on his panicked-looking face.<br />
Chapter 2:<br />
The Start <strong>of</strong> the Battle<br />
After Edward had been knocked out<br />
by the Vikings, the head Viking frowned<br />
and shouted “AND FIRE !” and as that<br />
happened, three thousand fireballs were<br />
sent flying from catapults. The fireballs<br />
landed on a Saxon house in the village and<br />
set it alight. Edward stupidly went into<br />
the building that was on fire and opened a<br />
huge chest. In the chest that was covered<br />
in jewels there was a ridiculously long<br />
golden sword, shimmering brightly in the<br />
flames. Clenching the sword in his fist,<br />
Edward jumped out the window just in<br />
time. Then all <strong>of</strong> a sudden – BANG - the<br />
house exploded! Edward rushed over to<br />
his wife and calmly said …<br />
“Martha that was our home that exploded!<br />
What are we going to do? Where are we<br />
going to live or stay?”<br />
Edward started crying.<br />
“It’s alright dear and if you don’t stop
crying like that, you will hurt your scar”<br />
shouted Martha over the crackling <strong>of</strong> the<br />
flames. As Edward reached for the sword<br />
that was in his hand, behind his back, he<br />
realised that it was gone!<br />
Chapter 3:<br />
The War<br />
Edward looked high and low but there<br />
was no sign <strong>of</strong> it until …<br />
“Looking for this?” boomed one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Vikings, while Edward was looking for<br />
the sword. When Edward turned around<br />
there, in the head Viking’s hand was the<br />
sword!<br />
“How did he get the sword <strong>of</strong>f me?”<br />
thought Edward as he raised himself from<br />
the ground, from his search.<br />
“Give it back!” demanded Edward.<br />
“Or what, you useless old Saxon?” joked<br />
Eliot, the head Viking.<br />
“Or war!” said Edward, crossing his<br />
arms and nodding up and down. “Done?”<br />
asked Edward.<br />
“Done!” shouted Eliot and that was that.<br />
The next morning saw Eliot with the rest
<strong>of</strong> the Vikings on one side and Edward<br />
and the rest <strong>of</strong> the Anglo Saxons on the<br />
other.<br />
“One … two…three … CHARGE!”<br />
commanded Eliot.<br />
Before you knew it the Vikings and the<br />
Anglos were scattered everywhere and<br />
in the end, Edward managed to slip the<br />
sword out <strong>of</strong> Eliot’s hand and kill all the<br />
Vikings.<br />
