' 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.

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

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

Cable and Wireless On Tuesday afternoon, we walked to cable and wireless The walk was very tiring but fun because we had lots of things to look at. When we got to cable and wireless we got on the project about the dish. They used lots of steel to make stations for the satellite dish. Mr. Murray- Tait showed us the other satellite dishes for telephone and television. And he told us that the dish would be one hundred feet tall. When we walked back to school the walk was fun. Theodore Francis On Tuesday afternoon we walked to Cable and Wireless and when we got there we met a man and his name was Mr. Murray-Tait and first of all he showed us where the satelitte dish was going to be and then he took us to a window in the back and we saw water come down and splashing on the ground inside the back because they were washing the top of the base and then he showed us the steel and then he took us around and showed us the dish that can pick up N.A.S.A. and the space ship Columbia and then he showed us a dish that when we telephone to a different country this dish puts you through to the country you want and it puts you through to the country you want and it puts a picture on your tv and then he took us to a building and he said this building is going to have computers and then we had to go back to school. George Masters The Cave I climbed down in to the cave then I found a skeleton then I picked it up and I went to find something else then I found a gun then I ran as fast as I could. Then I got out the gun that I found and I shot the crocodile then I walked then I came to some quicksand then I fell into it. I pulled and pulled but I could not get out of the quicksand. Sud- denly I had a clue I will get that long stick then I will push down to the bottom of the quicksand then I will push as hard as I can. Timothy Collins One day I was playing and then I saw a crack in the ground and so I climbed down into it and I went down and down and then I saw that it stopped so I got down and I looked around. I saw wrecks and spiders every where so I started walking. I walked for a while and I stopped and I saw a little pool and I saw there were fish in it. I was hungry and I remembered that I had some rope in my pocket so I walked back to where the opening was. I saw a rock at the top so I tied it like a lasso and I threw it up and it went down on the rock and I climbed up and 1 ran home and I went home and 1 had my dinner and I told my mum about it.

The Race I started to go faster and faster because I was in a race and some other people were beating me but I lost and I went home very sad. There was the biggest race in New York coming up so I started to train and soon the big race came up and I won the race. They picked me for a race in England. I went there and I started to train and train. This time there was a trillion people in the race. This time I won again so they picked me for the biggest race in the world. There was a zillion people in the race and I trained for ten years. I won again and they paid me a million dollars in real cash. Marcus Wells I started to go faster, and faster and I bumped into a wall and went flying into the air and landed on a bull. He started to buck up and down and I gave myself a headache and I felt dizzy. I let go of the horns and fell to the ground and tried to be careful of its hooves because it was trying to hit me. So 1 got up and ran down to the street. But I tripped over a rock and tumbled down to the wall and I climbed over it. Someone ate a banana and dropped the skin and I went skid- ding back to my home.
