My Holiday

The first few days of my holiday have been filled with sleep, watching movies, getting some exercise in the gym and just enjoying not having to wake up and rush out of the house. I love the holidays! Today I plan to go shopping to buy all the food I need to make my Christmas dinner. I wish they had brussel sprouts and parsnips in Korea, but as they do not, I will have to make do with other vegetables for my side dishes.

All in all, I'm having a great holiday, but I do miss my wonderful class of noisy children ;-)

I wonder what they are doing right now and hope they are all having a great time!

I'll write again soon, but for now, that's it!

Love from Mrs Wilcox

Sam and the English channel
Sam had a collection of successfully written books about the English channel that goes to France. He came from France. Next one of his books was about the passengers and about all of there arguments. Then Sam read a book about the tunnel and about how they vacuumed all the rubbish and that it annoyed the cleaners but it was necessary.

James Trip To The Amusement Park

One beautiful day James and his mum went to the amusement park.

They took a bus ride to avoid the traffic. James thought it was a brilliant idea of his mum to ride through the tunnel and along the channel on the way out of the city.

They arrived before everyone else without any arguments with the other passengers who seemed rather annoyed and aggressive about the time it took to get there.

Since they were staying for 2 days and 1 night, James mum went to arrange their accommodation and when she returned from fixing all the arrangements, James and his mum started to explore.

James decided that they would start at the zoo because he wanted to see the interesting animals. They were having a great time until James spotted a Lion. When James and his mum got closer, the Lion looked at them with an exaggerated yawn and then returned to patch and went back to sleep.

The amusement park was so massive that there were so many things to do.

Housework Again!

Monday 16th November 2009

Housework Again!

It was a Sunny Saturday afternoon when Polly secretly turned off the vacuum cleaner as she was helping her mum with the cleaning. She was annoyed because she had to help her and didn’t see why it was necessary for her to do the work. She decided that it would be much more fun to watch TV and not do the housework. So she put on her favorite channel and discovered there was a program on about an annoyed flight passenger in France. Next she had another brilliant idea, she could go and play with mum’s collection of best ornaments. So she hurried of to the shelf were she kept them. First she pulled out a little ornament shaped like a ladybird. It had a hole in the top she said “this is lovely for some gumi-bears!” and she merrily skipped into the kitchen to find some gumi-bears. Unfortunately mum was cleaning the kitchen floor! “Oh no!” muttered Polly “AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?” shrieked mum. In Polly’s surprise she dropped the ornament! “errrr………” said Polly “it was an accident!” She burst out “OK” said mum and successfully glued it back together again. After that Polly went to play with Molly her pet Guinea-Pig, she called her Molly because it rhymes with Polly. Playing with Molly always made her feel better.

Traffic Across the English Channel

Everyone knows the English Channel is hard to swim, well everyone thinks it's hard to swim . This is why it takes so long. It's just because there is so much traffic such as people that exaggerate with their subs, rubbish, sharks with very unusual passengers and other unnecessary things. Of course not the waves. They make the swimmers successfully fly like baby birds, but the aggressive wind doesn't because it goes west and the swimmers swim south east towards France. Afterwards, the swimmers make a collection of shells and eat bright, yellow, bitter lemon on the beach.

A new accommodation for Ryan

"I wish we could stay, in our old house mom," moaned Ryan as he and his mum and all the other passengers, were changing accommodation. He and his mother and all of his family and friends were moving house, in New York.
"Our house, was really great", cried Ryan again he had red hair, with a rubbish t-shirt that was grey and, not been washed, for a whole month! Ryan had, torn trousers that were blue with green, disgusting goo all over, them Ryan was really annoyed and aggressive about his mum. Once mom had said the word "lets go away from here", he cried mum, and also he had to have a bitter, dinner that night. And Ryans mum had shouted this...
" you'll do what I say now, go and get packed!", poor Ryan, a brilliant day was spoiled by his, mother but, he did exactly what, she said. Ryan started to cry and this is what he said
"I could go and do a collection of strong bullets and hard, grey guns, to kill mum!", he tried to get through his problem successfully, by talking, like he was on the TV channel

" what if we don't like our new home", moaned Ryan.
"Will you, stop moaning Ryan!", Shouted mum "I really wonder if we will like or dislike the new home too!", the next day they went to the new home and Ryan called his room the, France!...

And did they like or dislike the, new home? Well they loved it!!!

The Eagle and the Bear at the Circus

There was once an eagle who lived in North America. His name was George. George had many friends. Their names were Sam, Lilly, Nick and Robert. One day a circus was in the forest for the animals. George and his friends tried out for the circus and successfully got in. Inside the circus tent, there was an aggressive, big, fat, ugly bear. Whenever the circus ringmaster got near the bear, the bear would growl. George and the bear got into an argument about the noise. George swooped down and grabbed the bear by the neck, and really annoyed the bear. When the bear returned to his cage with his bloody neck, he felt like rubbish. Afterwards, the circus started. George and his friends swung on the acrobatic apparatus. The animals could still hear the bitter bear growling, although the bear was in a different room. It went on until it stopped. Nobody knew what had happened. The bear got away by digging a secret tunnel under his cage, while the animals were performing in the ring. It was a brilliant escape. The bear found a collection of sticks necessary to build a new house.

Meanwhile, George and his friends went to France with the circus.

Wiley, I love your story, you used your spelling words very well! Well done for adding some great adjectives and verbs. I really enjoyed reading your story! Well done!

The Running Artist

One day there was an artist who made cartoon pictures. He was a harmless man. He lived where there was a market, called Hallo. It was busy and stinky in the market. He was sad and lonely because he had to sleep on a blue carpet. If he needed to see out the window he had to kneel. Early one morning he went to the door and he got a letter for the running fair. He really wanted to go so he did. When he got there the race was already on, but he still jumped on the track and gave the others a snarl. He ran as fast as he could.

Who would win? It was so close! The artist won the scarlet cup.

By Adam Ashton

Very exciting story Adam, great use of adjectives and I love the ending. Very dramatic!

You describe your character well, and I love how he 'snarls'! Great job!
