IN MY MIND'S EYE
by Rory
In the bubble I press the red button. I shrink and fly up and into my ear. I turn a switch and the switch says lights on; then I press the button that makes me go zooming through cyber space. I see a monster, but I press another button. It makes me have blades. I cut the monster in half and see a place. It is right. I follow it and there is a big building and I go inside. After, I get out of the bubble and inside there is a big desk with my name written on the papers on the desk.
There were loads of chairs around the desk. I saw a laptop on the desk. It had e-mails from all around the brain. I answered them and they had thousands of Maths Matrix tests on them. I was sleepy so I got in a bed and snuggled down and felt better. I got some food from a refrigerator, then got back into the bubble and came out of the ear and pressed the red button.
I ejected out of the bubble and I felt sick, so I went to my mum. She says, "If you feel sick, go to bed." So I did and went to sleep.
"Highly imaginative piece of writing!" said Mr Middleditch.
IN MY MIND'S EYE
by Charlie
I am climbing into the bubble, then pressed the red button. I am going in my ear. It is dark. I have turned the light on and there is a path on the right and left. I take the right path. There are three turnings and I take the second one along. There is a shed and inside the shed the walls are pink and I turn it to yellow. I come out of the shed.
At the end of the road I saw a sign. It said 'Writing Room - turn right.' I went right because I wanted to go to the writing room. On the way I could hear my heart. There was a wall in the way. I just remembered, I just walked past a hammer. I picked up the hammer then knocked down the wall. The wall was blue. I saw a sign inside: 'Writing Room - turn right.' So I turned right. It is 15 degrees C, but I change it to 18 degrees C. I carry on going. I see a shed and I went in. Inside it was about spellings. It had my spellings in the past....
"Well written. I want to hear more. This is fascinating," said Mr Middleditch.
CRATERBALL - RULES OF THE GAME
by Isabel
Craterball is played on the moon inside a crater with a curved roof made of plastic netting. The players all wear small oxygen tanks and light suits.
Rules:
1. There are six players on each team.
2. Two teams play for thirty minutes each half.
3. Players are only allowed to use their tummy to hit the ball.
4. You have to kick and punch each other to get yellow and red cards to get points. Red cards are five points and yellow cards are worth one point.
5. The ball is green.
6. If you get a goal you get sent off.
7. The team with the least players left wins.
8. If you score an own goal you add a player to your team.
9. There is no goal keeper.
10. You will need a referee.
"Fantastic set of rules, Isabel. I can just imagine this game being played! You certainly deserve your place in the extension group," said Mr Middleditch.
THE TOY WHO CAME TO LIFE
by Jack
Once upon a time there was a lion. It was called Alex. He was a very scary lion. He was fighting; he did not turn real. He wished he was a real lion. He had a dream that he was real. In that dream he was in Africa. He found a lonely lion. He was sad because he hurt his paw when he was fighting and the lion bit his hand. Alex got his tail and brushed it so it stopped bleeding. He took a step into his toybox and woke up. He found himself with the lion.
"Am imaginative tale," said Mrs Hardman.
THE DAY RIGHT ANGLES APPEARED
by Rebecca
Millions of years ago right angles didn't exist and everything was wobbly, so the world was shaped like a splodge. There was no gravity, so people fell off the Earth and they fell into the sun and got burnt. Then hundreds of years later, someone woke up and a scientist waws standing there. He had invented right angles! And another one appeared and he had invented gravity!
"What an imaginative piece of writing," said Mr Middleditch.
A DRAGON GOES TO THE CASTLE
by Adam
Once upon a time there was a dragon named Claw. He wasn't a real one, he was a toy. He lived in a drawer in a cupboard. He wanted to sleep in a castle. One night Claw climbed out of the drawer and he went out of the cupboard, before falling to the floor. He flew to a castle. He went into a big chamber, which was warm and cosy and with coins and rubies. He slept there forever and lived happily ever after.
The boy, whose drawer the dragon came from, never saw him again!
"A lovely story, Adam," said Mrs Hardman.
THE TOY THAT CAME BACK TO LIFE
by Oliver
Once upon a time there lived a toy king and he lived in a toy box. One night the toy box shook. An arm popped out and there was the king and all the toys came to life. The cars came to life. They went on a mission in the jungle and saw a lion and attacked it! They ran back to the toy box and turned back into toys, just as the morning came.

ELEPHANTS
by Lewis
Elephants cannot run very fast, and they can't even swim. A trunk doesn't have any bones, but they can suck things up. Elephants are just like rhinos, but they are much bigger, definitely. A trunk does have lots of muscles - about 40 000 - even strong enough to kill a lion. Elephants can walk really slowly, like someone breaking their ankle and they walk really slow. An elephant can lift a really heavy log, like really fat ones.
A baby elephant isn't that strong because they have been just born and they might be a year old and really small. An elephant might be the biggest aninal in the world, even bigger than a giraffe. Elephants have big wide ears, even bigger than a chicken. A trunk is sensitive enough to pick up a feather. An elephant looks the same as a mammoth, but without the hair. They have the same size ears and the same size trunk and tail.....
Well done, Lewis! You have written a detailed description of an elephant in your half-term assessment.
ESCAPE AT BEDTIME - ADJECTIVES
by Amar
Stars popping out of a black bucket. The moon is smelling of cheese. The sky is painted with black paint and flashing stars. The moon is fooling with bits of cheese. The stars are boiling hot water. The moon shivers with cold. The stars blast up with hot heat. The stars fool with glimmer. The moon eats with cheese.
Fantastic poetic descriptions!
by Lewis
The black sky is like a black flat blamket. Yellow stars are sharp like a pencil, on the edge bits. The moon is a circle like a football. The blue sky is like a blue chair. The stars are prickly on the pointy bits, like the stars are on fire. The blue sky is like a swimming pool. The stars are sparkly like glitter.
Wow! A budding poet. Gold standard work.
STAR POEMS
NIGHT
by Abi
Night time,
Fright time,
Doesn't matter.
My stars shining.
Lights off,
Things moving.
STARS
Stars are gold,
in the black night.
Stars are shining.
Stars are hot and silver.
You see stars,
when it is dark.
At bedtime you see them.
Stars are in space.
GOLDEN NIGHT
by Luca
Golden night,
when the stars are shining,
all around the sky.

THE WOLF IS INNOCENT
by Jak
Your Majesty,
I did not kill Granny, the woodcutter killed her and blamed me. The police arrested me. I am a vegetarian! I couldn't do it. I saw the woodcutter going into Granny's to steal her recipe book. I went in there to save Granny. You should go to the woodcutter's house. I bet that you will find the recipe book at his house. Ask someone called Little Red Riding Hood. She will tell you where the woodcutter's house is, and follow her to her house because the woodcutter might have given the recipe book to her.
I'm in Colchester prison. I can't eat anything because the guards only give me meat. I need some food now. I think I will starve. I'm just sitting at the end of the room. I only have a bench for a bed. I have no windows. I'm on the second floor at the prison.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Wolf.
THE VEGETARIAN WOLF
by Daniel
Once upon a time there lived a wolf. It was not an ordinary wolf. It was a vegetarian. It ate only vegetables. One day the wolf went to Granny's house. He knocked on the door. Little Red Riding Hood ran in!
