MY SCHOOL


Today is Monday. I am in school today. It is Cloudy. I was sick but I’m better now. I like school. I have a lot of friends. We play games. We have fun.

ST. PATRICK


St. Patrick was a slave,
St. Patrick was good,
He was captured by pirates,
St. Patrick escaped,
St. Patrick came to Ireland,
He told us of God,
He used the Shamrock,
He was a bishop.

1st Class:

SANTA LIKES TO DRINK FANTA


Santa likes to drink Fanta,
He drinks it every year,
He didn’t eat the carrots,
Because I left out the beer.

ROVER SAVES CHRISTMAS (ALTERNATIVE ENDING)


And maybe because of that special night, as they grew older and became teenagers, then grown-ups, they got madder and madder and more crazy. Jimmy became the president of Ireland and went all over the world meeting very important people. But that was not all he did. When he was having dinner with the very important people, he’d climb in under the table and tie their laces together. 16 Presidents and 27 Prime-Ministers broke their legs when Jimmy was president, and no one ever caught him. Victoria became a scientist and invented a way of bringing dead volcanoes back to life. And she invented a microwave that could turn eggs back into chickens. All over the world mothers and fathers were having heart-attacks when they opened their microwave doors. Robbie became the most famous bank robber in the world. He didn’t just take the money, he took the buildings aswell. And Kayla? She was still throwing people out of upstairs windows, even when she was two hundred and twelve.

THE FAIRY TALE CREATURES


There once was a town that nobody knew about, and this town was full of fairytale creatures, and once two fairytale creatures called Snow White and Cinderella were out shopping for some fruit when a young prince came along. It was cinderella’s new boyfriend. Snow white carried on shopping for the fruit. She didn’t want to interrupt their conversation. So when she got to the fruit stall in the market she saw the seven dewarves with Mini and Micki Mouse. They wanted to help her and they had allready bought the fruit. Snow White was very pleased. Mini and Micky Mouse had to be off. They had Donald Duck around for tea. Meanwhile Cinderella and her new boyfriend thought that it would be such a bother to go to the market so they decided to go to the supermarket instead- then they saw Snow White with the seven dewarves and Bell and Beast. They all looked happy except for Bell. She had been fired over her sister. Beast had been trying to cheer her up all day but then her sister called and said she’d been fired and that Bell got the job back. Bell no longer had a sower face, instead she had a big grin accross her face. “So much for going to the supermarket,” said Cinderella. “Shh! Be quiet, you’ll ruin the perfect moment,” said Snow White.

THE UNICORN


I was a unicorn stuck in a shed. My owner was creul. “Stupid mutt,” he said. But then a young boy came to take me away. My owner was happy when given an offer he coudn’t refuse. He got angry later that day and started sharpening an axe. He got the axe and cut off my horn. I neighed in pain and fell to the floor. The next morning the little boy came. He cried when he saw me lying dead on the straw. His tear touched me . I came back to life but as a pony this time. The man’s cheeks went all red. I live a happy life with the boy now.

OUR GARDEN


Sometimes our garden seems like a small zoo,
We have three cats and four kittens too,
With fat furry bodies and big green eyes,
They look really daft as they chase butterflies,
Thrushes, Bluetits and Blackbirds,
Nest high in the trees,
And dosens of sparrows,
Live under the eaves,
We often have pheasants,
Which Daddy won't shoot,
The bullfinches happily,
Eat most of our fruit,
Our five garden ponds,
Are full of gold fish,
We feed them so well,
They could make a main dish,
The croaking green frogs look really quite silly,
As they sit with tongues out,
On the pad of a lilly,
We have the odd fox,
And visiting dog,
You might find a hedgehog,
Under a log,
I love all these creatures,
And you can bet,
If I work hard at school,
I'll become a vet.
