Teacher at Desk — Ryan Kromer. Jaws Long ago there was a shark named Jaws and Jaws went to a beach and killed a boy. Now they are looking for Jaws and some times they went to the beach and went swim- ming. Jaws came back again. So one day they had a meeting to go out on a 42 foot boat which is wooden to try and kill Jaws. So they went out and Jaws wrecked the boat and tried to kill a man. But he did not kill the man and one man killed Jaws. Julian Wheddon Puff The Magic Dragon Long long ago there was a jolly green dragon. He was called Puff the Magic Dragon. Puff walked by a window and it was sunrise. The boy in the bed waked up and Puff said, Come with me. He did and Puff turned his bed into a boat. He started on his way to the magic land of Puff. On the way they passed a ship and everybody waved at them and they waved back. They went on their way to the magic land. Later on they met a giant and he stopped them. They said Let us go and you can have a wish . He let them go and he wished he was a cook and he made him a cook. When they got to the magic land the flowers were dead. Everything was dead. No horses, No rabbits. Puff said What happened? and just as Puff spoke the giant came and sprinkled some soap over the land. It came normal again. Magnus Henagulph The Kind Boy One day a boy was skipping down a road. He saw a sheep run from its field. Some foxes ran after it. It was a baby sheep. The boy picked up a stick and hit the foxes. They ran off. Then he saw an owl trying to catch a mouse. The boy picked up a rock and threw a rock at it. It flew away. The boy saw a kiskadee trying to catch a lizard. The boy picked up a piece of metal and threw it. The boy saw a spider trying to catch a beetle. The boy picked up a thing stick and threw it. It was getting late when he smelled some smoke. He saw a fire started. He ran and stamped on it. Though he loved them so much he saved them from danger. Then he ran home. He had his supper. He had a shower and read a book and went to brush his teeth and went to sleep. Alain Gordon Seymour An Adventure Story One day when I was fishing in my boat, I saw a ghostly ship on the horizon. When it came a bit closer I saw the skull and crossbone. Then I knew it was the Jolly Roger. The Jolly Roger is Blackbeard ' s ship. Then I saw two long boats come to the side of my boat and then a lot of pirates jumped onto my boat. I loaded my rifle and I killed six pirates. Then one of the pirates fired the ships cannons and the cannon ball just missed my boat. Just then I saw the coast guard. , Michael Maughan Garfield — Marc Boden. i! Daffodils — Michael Hay ward. 13

MISS THOMPSON ' S 3T Daisies — Craig Smith. Why I Like School I like Sports because I enjoy them and I practise. I like drawing because it ' s fun. I like Math because it is great fun. I like English too and I like Clubs because it is great fun. I like to Spell. I like lunch so I can play football. I like playing chess with Alan. Adam Booth Why I Don ' t Like School The reason why I do not like school is because every Thursday we have to sing. We have to be in plays and do English. Believe it or not I hate maths and reading and worst of all questions. Worst worst of all is having to wake up at seven o ' clock just to go to school. Robin Lang Why I Like School I like School because we have clubs and visit different places. I like maths as well as clubs and every Friday we paint pictures and we have a long play time. Every Tuesday we sing in the hall and every Friday wc play football as well. Ryan Kromer Why I l)on ' ( Like School! I can think ol a lot of reasons why I don( like school. For example the work is loo hard, the playing periods are too short, and why cant we all ,() into the sand when it is dry? The holidays are too short they should be at least three or four weeks instead of two weeks. To lop it off. Why cant we all get out at home time at the same time? Douglas Parker What Bermuda Means To Me I like the .story of Bermuda and what is left of it. Where no snow drops are to be seen and people come from all over to see our paradise. It would be a wonderful place if it werent for litter. You know paradise is hard to find where it doesn ' t snow. We live on a wonderful island you and me. Christopher Heinicke First a volcano was forming and when it was formed some people call- ed it the Isles Of Devils. Lets go forward in to lime. Right now I like swimming and making things the most. Some say its not fun but I think its fun. Also I like fishing and staying at home. Charlie Kempe I like Bermuda because I think the morning glory looks nice and also the sago palm. I like the Bermudianas and the hibiscus and I like the rabbits and the kittens. I like the longtails the cardinals and the bluebirds and also the oldeanders. I like the seagulls and also the par- rotfish and also the Spanishhog and the four eyed fish. Michael Parsons I like Bermuda because of the beautiful flowers around us. You might go to the zoo and you might see some cute animals. Some times you Might see some junk so please pick it up and make Bermuda more beautiful. You sould go to see the Botanical Gardens. Ryan Kromer Blue Arrows — Christopher Heinicke. Working at Island Construction Working there is not that bad. The part I like is driving the botcat brrum and out of the shed I go. Going for a test drive is fun. It ' s like going on an obstacle course. Then the real fun part is picking up the sand and putting it in one big pile. The most best part is at the end of the day when I get a ride on the scramber with Stuart. I hate to go home but there ' s always tomorrow. Ian 12

Samson started to talk to God he said give me back my powers that I had and I will teach them a lesson. God gave him back his strength and he pulled down the building it killed everyone even himself. ' Rhinocerous ' — Steven Whitecross. The Sorcerers Apprentice Once upon a time I was a sorcerer ' s apprentice and the sorcerer could ride on a crocodiles back. One day I was cleaning up and I heard the sorcerer talking so I hid behind a door and I heard the sorcerer putting a spell so a broom could come alive and serve him a feast. So when he went out I came in and made the broom come alive and I made it go out and fetch water for my bath. It went back and forth fetching water from the well so when my bath was full. I said stop, stop! but it didn ' t stop so I got an axe and chopped the broom in half but the broom was in pieces and just as of the house was full the wizard came in and told the broom to go back in its corner. Justin Griffiths U.F.O. ' s I believe in U.F.O. ' s because I have seen many stories about them and one night a fire noise woke me up and I saw a light and I got out of bed and got a flash light then I went down in the cellar and saw an alien and I asked him what his name was and he said E.T. and he was scared. The next morning I told my mom I saw E.T. and she said that we ' d better take you to the eye doctor. Alex Leonard Jonah Once there lived a man called Jonah and God had given him a com- mand to go to a city called Ninevah but Jonah disobeyed and went on a ship. He was going to a place called Tarshish but on the way the ran into a storm and it was a very bad storm and the passengers prayed to all their gods then Jonah said throw me overboard then the people did as they were told and the storm stopped and then Jonah was swallow- ed by a whale then when the whale opened its mouth and Jonah got out and swan to this island and he walked until he came to a city and God told Jonah that he had forgiven the people that were been mean and Jonah was agry and he went out into the sun and sat on a rock and a tree began to grow then it died and Jonah was sorry for the tree. God said that if you were sorry for that tree I should be sorry for the peo- ple. Alasdair Younie Nicholas Strong jj , jj g Rhinocerous got his Skin Long long ago there was a Parsee. He lived on the beach. All he had was a stove and a hat. One day he made a cake. When it was brown enough he took it off. And he was just about to eat it when a rhinocerous came charging down to the beach, got the cake on his his horn and ate it. The next day it was so hot that the parsee had his hat off. And the rhinocerous had his skin unbottoned. In those days at the bottom there were buttons and went down to the sea and took his skin and and went in then the Parsee filled his hat with breadcrumbs and put breadcrumbs on the skin. And when the rhinoceros put the skin back on he scraped and that made it wrinkled. Then he went away and the Parsee went away too. Wayne Jones ' Cable and Wireless ' — Sean Collier. 14
