Jessica and the G-Force

Long ago and far away, there lived an attractive Queen Emily of Starland and she had a horrifying, deadly beast called the G-Force. Unsurprisingly, this monster lived under the kind, caring Queen Emily's castle, which was beautiful. Surprisingly, the Queen fed it on helpless humans or she would put bombs on poor, small Starland. Unfortunately, the poor, brave guards had been eaten by the grimy, solid beast, which was preposterous and hefty, at night, which was destroying this helpless town and killing people in it. In addition, the beastly creature had a horn like nose and a stiff wicked neck. Also, it had purple poisonous spots which could kill someone with the lightest touch. It had a clenching tummy, which ants could reach because it was that low, and it had fast legs like a cheetah and the earth moved as it walked. No one could ever beat him!

One winter's afternoon, there was a radiant, colourful princess called Jessica. She was the daughter of the attractive Queen Emily of Starland. Surprisingly, Princess Jessica loved horse riding and uttered, "Mother, I can't stand this behaviour. You are feeding the horrible G-Force poor, helpless humans from Starland and I want to kill that beast once and for all."

"But Darling," exclaimed Queen Emily.

"But what Mother? I'm killing that beast no matter what!" Jessica proudly yelled.

"Ok but as long as you touch the ruby ting on the door if you are alive when you return." Queen Emily replied.

That night, Jessica finished her tea and skimmed to her room to collect her gear for the long journey. Then she set off with her horse and her picnic with good things to eat and drink!

After a few beautiful sunsets, kind, tired Princess Jessica arrived in the sad torn country of Ohalia and rode to the deep mysterious maze in horror of the bleak town of Ohalia. Coming up to 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Jessica proudly entered the opening of the razor sharp gate to the maze and heard a secret soft voice of an animal from the side of the gate. "Psst. Psst. Come here!" whispered the mythical creature.

"Who is it?" croaked Jessica as she thundered over to the mythical creature.

"My name is Rupert. I'm half human and half cat." He answered happily.

"OK" Jess replied confused.

"Take this bright chalk to help you find your way out and enchanted sword that will give you good luck. Now Go, Go, Go." exclaimed Rupert loudly.

After much thought, Jessica entered the deep, mysterious maze and shouted out the beast's horrible name. Suddenly, Jessica felt a deadly breath on her armour and turned to the G-Force and chased it around the maze! Then it stopped! The G-Force turned around. Jessica quickly turned around and sliced the enchanted sword down half of the beast's muscular face! The beast was dead...

With showing teeth, Jessica left the enchanted maze with stinky armour and couldn't wait to get home to celebrate with a grand festival. After a few minutes, Jessica had reached the end of the maze by using her chalk to find her way out and jumped on her horse and headed for home! As Jessica rose through the town, people gathered around her and applauded her gratefully. After a few days of travelling, Jessica had reached her final destination (the palace) and put up disco posters to celebrate her win of killing the G-Force. The next day, they had a grand festival, covering the streets with dancing, food and cards. Everyone was proud of Jessica and made her the next step of a Princess.

The End!

Lewis and the Tyondragon

Long, long ago, there lived a mad King called Ralph and he had a fat fire breathing Tyon under his tower. The maze was gloomy and dark with a pet bat and it had a fat belly with people in it and it had sharp nails. Unsurprisingly, it bit your tongue out but it moved fast. Unfortunately, Tyon had poisonous legs and it had giant hands. It could burn your face off but it had an ugly belly.

One cold morning, the King of Coventry called Mark had a son called Lewis and he shouted to the King, "Let me kill the Tyon."

"Please come back!" cried King Mark

Lewis was brave and angry. He was strong, mad, clever and fast and he was the best warrior in the entire world.

After ten hours travelling, muscular, powerful Lewis arrived at the haunted castle of rich, evil King Ralph and his mean, huge Tyon but clever and strong Lewis was ready for battle. In the maze, it was blood filled, dark and gloomy and filled with ugly mosquitoes and blood sucking bats. Also, he met Princess Tiara and she gave him a sling shot and a watch but he didn't know that the scary Tyon was behind him.

Quietly, strong Lewis crept in the dark, rusty, slimy maze and he heard a roar behind him. He jumped on the weak Tyon but the slow Tyon knocked him off and the Tyon ran. Fast Lewis lost sight of him then strong Lewis saw the ugly Tyon eating a dead, ugly body. Lewis charged and he stabbed the floor. Then Lewis shot a fast knife with the sling shot in the Tyon's heart.

Then he sliced the beady eye out and he came to a dead end with creepy skulls singing, "I'm going to eat you, I'm going to eat you, I'm going to eat you!" Then they bit Lewis' leg.

Then strong Lewis ran out of the maze. Then 1000 grateful people said his name, "Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!" They danced all night and they all ate delicious cake and played limbo. Finally, they did it all day long and made a delicious eye soup!

Year 3 Trip to London!

On Friday 19th April 2013, Year 3 visited London for the day to see all the key landmarks and I m writing to tell you all about it.

Firstly, we stopped at white, old Buckingham Palace, which was huge, and it was manic because people wanted to see the smart, impressive soldiers march past. Then, we heard Big Ben chime twelve times, which was very loud, while we were crossing the busy, brown road. Also, Big Ben was tall and loud and the clock, which was wide, was very sparkly. Next, we saw lots of colourful, pretty shops, which were very expensive by the look of it, and some were lovely, tidy cafes. Also, the cafes smelt really superb, which made me hungry, and the people were lining up for their lunch. After that, we saw the River Thames, which was very large, and we saw people having tours.

After lunch, we queued up for the huge, grey London Eye, which looked scary, because it was tall. Also, the London Eye can hold over 800 people. In the pod, there is a tablet, which you type locations into so you can find them, and the London Eye went really high. After the London Eye, we walked across a huge, grey bridge, which led us to the underground, because it was our next event. Suddenly, once the train started to go, it went really fast, which was fun, and we had to stop 6 times until we could get off. Once we got off, we went to an enormous, yellowish building called the Tower of London, which was very old, and it was very tall. Finally we took some pictures of it, which was cool, and after that we went home!

On Friday 19th April 2013, Year 3 visited London for the day to see all the key landmarks and I m writing to tell you all about it.

Firstly, we strode along the huge, busy Mall, which is half a mile long, and we saw some brave, protective guards, who could not move. Next, we walked to huge, amazing Buckingham Palace, which had lots of soldiers. Also we saw brilliant, fantastic soldiers changing their late, dark shift from work. After that, we strolled to humungous, colossal Big Ben, which is a clock, and the Houses of Parliament.

After lunch, we settled down on the enormous, rotating London Eye, which was busy, and it was extremely high. In the glass capsule, we took some photos of the Shard, which is the most modern building in the UK, and it is made of glass. When we were at the top, we took some other exciting photos of different locations. Next, we went on the fantastic, speedy underground, which trips you over. Finally, we visited the ancient Tower of London, which is where people got beheaded!
