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.

Greek story instead.

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 />

"Well done Harmony for a fab story that is<br />

easily worthy <strong>of</strong> our www.epichall<strong>of</strong>fame.co.uk<br />

Next time you send us a story don't forget to<br />

include your title. Tip: Look for a word or a<br />

phrase that sticks out and make that your title.<br />

We've called your story The White Queen."


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 />

"We love Superhero stories in the <strong>Hall</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fame</strong>.<br />

I'm writing a story called Manbat - it's about<br />

a bat that dresses up as a man and lives in a<br />

man cave."


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 />

the frogs except Combo. Combo was<br />

brave. Soon Tribe and Combo became<br />

friends so they planned to get the other<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!"

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 />

something called the Great Race. Two<br />

people were in the race. One was called<br />

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 />

The Mammoth says: Hurrah for Barry Skid!<br />

What a story!"


Viva Le Revolution!<br />

by Alfie Alland<br />

In the palace emperor Augusta hid from<br />

the rebellion led by Germanicus.<br />

Augusta was supposed to be brave but<br />

he was scared <strong>of</strong> his own shadow!<br />

Germanicus was brave and handsome<br />

he had a great beard and used a spear and<br />

shield. He screamed "Viva le revolution"<br />

Augusta called for all the village men<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!!


The palace was never the same again<br />

people were happy and they had lots <strong>of</strong><br />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

once he looked for the closing switch. He<br />

found the switch but the bugs found him.<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 />

Horatio the Hamster says:<br />

"James your story was epic!<br />

Sustained bursts <strong>of</strong> suspense from a<br />

sizzling space opera!<br />

By the way humans - you don't need<br />

to write The END at the end <strong>of</strong> your<br />

stories. We'll know it's the end<br />

when your writing runs out."


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 />

was Star Wars - now it's zombies!<br />

What will you come up with next?"


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 />

The Hamster says:<br />

"A brilliant Viking epic! May they<br />

sing <strong>of</strong> it for ever in the halls oif<br />

Anglo Saxons then why not check<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 />

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!"


THE<br />

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.


X-Tech<br />

by James Warner<br />

X-TEC was running like a rocket through<br />

the enchanted forest and out into the city.<br />

He saw The Poker throwing smoke pellets<br />

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 />

throw a smoke pellet at X-TEC.<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 />

The Mammoth says:<br />

"What's going to happen next? Does<br />

The Poker have a poker face?"


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 />

his friend! But the leader hamster did not<br />

because he was a meany. So he hired some<br />

rely strict baboons to tell them <strong>of</strong>f. But<br />

he used his unicorn powers on them.. it<br />

didn't work so he talked to them and he<br />

was so nice that he was the best unicorn in<br />

the whole world. And the leader hamster<br />

felt so sorry for him for the attacks that<br />

he ran to his mum and said he wanted to<br />

be the unicorns friend. Billy over heard<br />

and he asked if they could be friends.


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 />

Author Robin Price says:<br />

amazing Viking epic! Three brilliant<br />
