375™ ANNIVERSARY YEAR For our contribution to the Parish celebrations we delved into the history of Devonshire Church. Here are some of the boys own reports. Devonshire Church Years and years ago in Devonshire, 360 years ago there was a church being built and its name was Brackish pond Church. William Cavendish ownd the land and asked some people to help build the church and the roof was made out of palmetto leaves. - Jeremy Loomis Before the Church was built men used to meet under the shade of a giant cedar tree. It was the biggest in Bermuda. It was blown down in a hurricane over 50 years ago. They used the wood to make special church furniture and the bell was melted down to make hinges for the new church doors. - Britten West Years ago there was a hurricane and most of the churches were damaged but Brackish pond church was not damaged. Then came another hurricane and Brackish pond church fell down. Then they said themselves we will make another church. This time they made it with brick walls and they made a stone slate roof. There was a lot of grass and palmetto and cedar trees around Brackish pond church. It was a good church and it looked nice. - Nigel Swain The people had decided to rebuild the church and this time they built it stronger. All the walls were made of Bermuda stone and it had a slated roof. Each family in Devonshire had to send a worker to help and if they didn ' t they had to pay a fine of about 80. - Kenny Robinson Old Devonshire Church doesn ' t have an altar it has a communion table. They moved it from the middle of the church to make more room. They had to put the table in front of the old door and they blocked up the door. A man called Juistice Shelock was very mad and he said I will never come to this Church again, and you know what he never did! - Mark Moran In 1728 a man named William Savage said can I have this Church as a school. They said yes but they said you have to give us $50., but the kids did wreck it so he had to go. In 1737 a man came his name was Jonathan Tucker and he said can I have this Church as a school if I do any repairs. The kids did to much damage so he had to leave. - Charlie Judd In 1828 yrs ago in old Dvonshire Church they wontid a organ and they went to Canada for a organ and they found on in St. Pauls Church and it was the first Organ used in America. They built a gallery for it it has a wooden railing around it and they liked the music. - Cameron Snaith Yesterday we went to Church. First we looked at the tree planted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the rock. Mrs Beard read the rock. Then we had a picture and went into the church with Canon Nisbett. Then Canon Nisbett showed us the cup and the chairs and I looked at the pews and I knocked on the door. We went outside and we saw the old hearse. - Trevor Hedges Our Visit to Old Devonshire Church by Charlie Judd. If I Were... I am a fish. I was playing with my friends. I saw a worm and I started swimming to the worm and I bit the worm and I chewed it, and the worm was gone. Ouch! they pulled me up into the boat. I cuidnt breathe then they put me back, yippee I am back in the water, but I am not eating no more worms! - Jimmy Holder I am a tyre. I got flat by runing over a rock. It punctured my skin but my master took me home and put tape over the hole in my skin then he put me back on his bike and went riding. Even thoe he had gone riding again I u as happy. - Kenneth Robinson Once upon a time I sat in an egg bo.x. I sat looking at the fire and watching the butter melt in the pot. The lady cracked my shell. I was scared to deth and she put me in the pot and I got hard and I found it hard to talk. She cut me up. It is a hard life! - Kevin Young 2B at Hamilton Fire Station during Fire Prevention Week 1983.

One Saturday my mummy took me to a shop we had to buy a carpet for my room.

Then 1 laid on top of it and said its just like a magic carpet, then the carpet flew out the window and then 1 knew it was now a real magic carpet and I commanded that I shood go to some woods at once I was in the woods at first I saw chipmunk crunching away a tree then I walked along then i looked down a slowp where a monkey had a banana in his hand and was climbing down the tree. When he got to the bottom he peeled off the skin then I came to a pond then I saw five frogs in the pond then a snake swam after the frogs. Then with a splash one of the frogs was gone. Then in my head I could hear my mother saying my name so I got on my carpet and set off bach home I would never again lay down on the black carpet. - Niel Jones I bought a carpet at a store. Then I laid it out and then I sat on it and said Abracadabra. And then the carpet lifted off in the air. Then I said go to New York and the carpet did it. I flyed to New York for real man, and I spent ten weeks and when ten weeks were over I got my bag and unpacked the carpet and then I said the magic word and then it started home and when 1 got home 1 hid the carpet. I may go to New York again. I or you probly do not know. - Noel Ashford One day me and my mummy went to the stor we saw a carpet. It was a magic carpet. When I got home 1 sat on it. I said abracadabra. 1 floated up in the air al the way to Brazil and watched one football game and floated all the way back hom. I watched T.V. and then I went to sleep. I dream about a genie flying on a magic carpet. He flew all around the world. He would not stop floating about and then he landed in a cave. He came out the cave with lots of jewels. The jewels were as sparkly as gold. The jewels were fake. He stole the real jewels. He put the fake jewels in the store and sold them. - Thomas Steinhoff I am going to space It was fun in space.
