They took me into the middle of the park. They made me bail out all the trick-or-treats I had. They shared out all the candy. The goblins had my lollipops | the witches had my chips; the bats nibbled at apples; the ghosts had my chocolate bars, I was terrified! I thought of how I was going to go home empty-handed. Finally I figured out what I would do. I would say I gave it all to The Children ' s Hospital. So I went home. Then I heard Mum say, David. Time to get up and go to school. It was all a dream, David Newman Prep. 4 Age 10. SPACE Pluto is too cold; Mercury is too hot; Venus is too cloudy; Jupiter is too big; Uranus is too green; Neptune is the same; Saturn is too dizzy; Mars is too red; But Earth is Just right for me. David Haldane Prep. 4, Age 8. FAIRY LAND In fairy land you can play, play, play all day long. There are no schools, no teachers, no churches — not even any parents.

Paul Richardson Prep 2 Age 7 THE MYSTERIOUS PLACE One day our cat fell in our well. I ran to get her out but I saw her being pulled down. I jumped in after her. Something pulled me under too. I took a breath of air as I was pulled under, I opened my eyes and saw a very beautiful place. 1 didn ' t know where I was, but I saw my cat. Suddenly a man came up to me and said, This is the underworld land of Jerome. I said I wanted to go home, but the man said I couldn ' t. I asked him, Why not? He said that he did not know the way back. I said I could try to swim back up the well. I tried to swim up but the thing pulled me down. I asked him if he did not have a secret door. He said he might have one. How will I find it? I asked him. He said I could find it because the land was not very big. He said I could come to his house irntil I found it. I went to his house. He had a child but not a wife. After dinner I went to look for the secret door, but I did not find it, I did not see any other people except the man and his boy. My cat slept cozily close to the fire. One day when I had almost given up hope of finding it I leaned against a wall and part of it fell out, I ran to the man ' s house and got my cat. Then I went through the door. I found myself near ray house. I ran to tell my mother about my adventure. Tracey Brown Prep. 3 Age 8. Milly-Mo lly-Mandy Is really dandy. If you want some candy. Ask Milly-Molly-Mandy. Tony Baylis Prep. 2 Age 7 WHAT I LIKE TO DO BEST What I like to do best is go to the park in the summer time. I like to cross the little bridge and look at the geese.
