MRS. DAVIDGE ' S Wolde Place, Jettrey Kirkwood, Quentin Carmichael. Sea Venture In 1609 I went on a small boat from England. We were sent to find an island that no one had seen before. There was at least five small boats all together. My name was Sir George. On the way a hurricane struck. All boats were pulled away from each other. We started pumping but all of the food blocked the pumps up. Then one of the men said we ' ve got a hole in the bottom of the boat. Then we started putting every thing in the water. Then a man said land Ho! I said put the little boat in the water. It was all right to go in the little boat I said. We rowed to the shore. I let two men go and get some food. We went to get some of the stuff that fell off the ship. Then we went back to the island. The men were sitting by a fire. They said that they had got food. We all sat on the floor and had something to eat. I said what did you find to eat? They said we ' ve got wild pig here he said, and some fish in the water and some nuts and some birds. Then they said is that good? I said yes, that is good. W e made some houses with some trees and we made some fires outside every house. Then more people came to Bermuda. I put my house on a big hill. Then I told my men to build a big boat. When you have got some more wood I said. We will make a big boat and go to England and get some people to come and live on Bermuda. Soon Bermuda was a town everyone like Bermuda so they got more people to come to Bermuda. - Jack Wilson Many years ago a hurricane struck our fleet. Our navigator was Sir George Somers. Treadwell and I were on the same ship as Sir George Somers was on. Our ship got torn away from the fleet. We were sailing from England. We sailed for days and days until big waves broke over the ship. We got the pumps out. Soon all of the pumps were stuck with biscuits. Then we bailed the water off the ship. Very soon there was a hole in the bottom of the ship. We put oursalted beef in the hole because all the other food was floating all around in the water. Soon we had to throw all of our luggage off. Treadwell and I had to keep on bailing the water off the ship. Treadwell and I thought it was very very sad. Sir George Somers thought that our ship would never make it to land. Just then one man said. Land Ho! Sir George Somers was so excited. Soon we got into all our rowing boats. Then we rowed to shore. We found trees, grass, wild pigs and a very few scorpians. We got the wild pigs and used them for food. Our other food was the fish. Treadwell and I could just remember the date we left which was 1609. We liked the islands so much we stayed there and built houses out of palm trees. We lived happily ever after. - James Spearing In the year 1609 there was some ships traveling from England to get to America. Now they are boarding their ships. I was going on the Sea Venture. The person in charge of all the ships is called Sir George Somers. So they left England. I said to Sir George that we ' ve been sailing for seven weeks. Then there was a hurricane. And there was waves which came into the ship. Then we had to throw all of our cargo over board to make the ship lighter. Then we got a leak. Then we got a hole in the ship and we put salted beef in the hole. Somebody called land ho. Every body raced to the side of the ship to see. Sir George said that the ship wouldn ' t hold. Then we got into a life boat and rowed to shore. Then some of the men went back to the ship to get tools to build houses with. Then they went back to shore to build houses. So we cut down trees and started to build some houses. Some men went to get supper. They caught wild pig, birds and wild berries and fish and lots of wild fruit. -DarylFubler Our Visit to Nonsuch Island. When we got to NonSuch we talked about Endemic trees. One was the Olive wood another was the Bermuda palmetto and the last one was the cedar tree. Two ladies called Mrs. Benbow and Ross split us up. My group went left and the other group went right we were walking along a path when we came to a stop Mrs. Benbow said look there ' s a Night Heron. Then we went on and Mrs. Benbow said we would see a cahow burrow. Every one looked in side the cahow burrow then we came across a dead cedar tree. Mrs. Benbow said that a little scale insect killed the cedar trees. Then we went to a hide. We hid in a house and you could see all the little birds that came to the pond that we were looking at. Mrs. Benbow also said that the people brought in lady bugs to eat the scale insect then the lizards at the lady bugs and the Kiskadee at the lizard. Then we went to a beach and I found a coconut and Mrs. Benbow said that it had been washed a shore and I had found it. Then she said that they had put turtle eggs in the sand and when they hatched they went to the water. Then we went to see a fresh water pond and we also saw a salt water pond then we came back here. - Colin Evans We went to an island called Nonsuch Island. First we learned about how Night herons catch and eat crabs. They catch them like this. They shake off the legs then eat them. After we had the little talk. We went in groups first my group went and saw a cahow burrow then we went to the hide and saw the birds. Then we went to a beach and we saw a salt water pond and we saw a chick of the village and we saw an olive wood and a cedar tree and a palmetto tree. They are all endemic but some insects called scale insect killed the cedar trees so men brought in lady bugs and the lady bugs ate the scale insect and the men brought in lizards and they ate the lady bugs. In my group I saw a skink. They are like snakes with legs. Then we went and saw a fresh water pond. Then we went home. - Daniel Frith

Our Visit to the Aquarium I went to the Aquarium. I learned about fish. A fish is a fish because a fish is I f cold-blooded and we are warm-blooded f and a fish has gills and we have nose and a fish lives in water and we live on land, a fish has scales and we have skin j and a fish has fins and we have arms I legs. - Treadwell Tucker All about fish. I saw a little sea horse and a little bunch of fish. The octopus has gotten very big since I last saw him. There were turtles and a few moray eels. I saw the nurse shark too, and I also saw Archie and Charlotte the seals. - Nicholas Ranee When I grow up... I would like to be an archaeologist with my cousin Justin Brown. We might be soccer players. Justin and I have not decided what we will be when we grow up. Justin thought we might be both. We would find fossils, or we will play in big soccer matches. - Andrew Frith When I grow up I want to be a soccer player. I like soccer very much because if I have a baby boy I am going to teach him how to play football. So when I retire he will take over football for me. - Stephen Oughton Anything! Every where I go people say anything! On Saturday I asked my Mom what was for dinner and she said anything. Then I asked my brother what shall we play? Then my brother said anything. Then when I went to bed my Dad said jump in bed. Then I said what jump should I do? Then my Dad said anything. - Kevin DeSilva My Visit to Montreal One day we had to go to Montreal. I was happy, sad and little mad because I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning. And because we had to go on two flights. When the taxi was there, we went smoothly to the airport. We had to go through immag- ration. And showed them papers of ours, (to show we were innocent). When we got on the flight, a lady said: hello, hope you enjoy your flight. When we were in the air, it was amazing!! All the buildings looked like little toys! When we got to Boston, we left as soon as we could. - More Roth Sundays Stunt Car On Sunday I went to drive my little car. So I drove it down the hill and started driving it in the car park. Then I made it go up a ramp and then it went flying then it landed. I had made all these stunts like the one when it went up the ramp and did a popuwheel. There was another good one when it crashed into the wall and did a flip, and then I went back home. - Andrew Shailer The Day I Went to Space. One day I was asked by a spaceman if I wanted to go to space. I said yes and I saked if I could bring my friend, Daryl. He said that I could bring anybody so I picked Daryl, Treadwell, Stephen and Wolde. The next day I went to space with friends. When we got to the moon we got in our space suits and went out. All of us wanted to explore the moon. After we explored it we wanted to look around for Mars. It was so far away that we turned back and landed on the moon. This time there were marshons all over the place. We looked in the e mergency box and there were laser guns that worked in space. I pressed a buttom and and some steps came down, we picked up the guns and loaded them and we went outside in our space suits. We blasted ten marshons and they went floating away. Soon we were captured and we were frozen accept Daryl, he ran back to our space shuttle. When he came back he lit us on fire and we unfroze. We fought back and this time when we blasted them their bones turned into more marshons. So we ran back to our space shuttle and took off. I pressed a button and we went into the future in space. We had a machine that could blow up an entire planet and could shoot a bullet two hundred and fifty mph. It could also capture people and put them in a dungeon and it could do lots more. One day some medeirrites were flying toward us. One of them hit our space shuttle luckily the shuttle didn ' t blow up but lots of damage was done. When the medeirrites were gone we went out and started fixing the damage. It was quite big so it took us five hours to do the whole thing. When I looked up afterwards I saw flying monsters with teeth as long as five fee t long heading straight for us. We ran in the shuttle and each of us got inside a gun and started blowing them up soon they were all gone and we went back to the right time. Soon we found ourselves on Saturn we were captured by an alein and were brought before their King. Their King ' s name was King Wormsword. He said if we did a days work for them they would help us in a battle because they new that a battle was coming. A battle was coming, it was us and the aleins aginst the marshons and the monsters. There were lasers and everything and then silence. We had won. We said thank you and then we took off. Soon we were on Jupiter. Then a Cyborg saw us and he called his friends. We took out the laser guns but they didn ' t work and there wasn ' t any amunition so we took out the flame throwers. We fired at them but they walked right through the fire. So we took out some swords and killed them all. Finally we were closer to Mars. We had forgotten what earth looked like. But we were so tired we went to earth. — Stephen Fahy 17 ' Bermuda Paradise - Scott Baron Jonathan and the Dragon . Once upon a time there was a boy called Jonathan. He had am other and father and a brother and he was happy. But the villages happiness came to an end because a dragon came to the illage and e er bov up to thrity will have to come and tight. So when Jonathan heard this he went to his very best friends Stephan FaliN and Dar 1 Fublcr. Thc were about one year older than Jonathan. Daryl was strong hut Stephen was wise. So off they went to see the king. They got all the things they needed and off they went. When they saw the dragons ca e they looked in, sure enought there was the dragon. So they set to work digging pits setting traps of all kinds. So when they had finished Jonathan climbed to the top of the ca e and made a noise and woke up the dragon. And when the dragon heard this he thunderd out of his cave and fell right into a pit. When thc saw this thev cheered their heads off and IhcN called a big party for this great okayshon. - Joihilluiii Andrew
