It was Friday afternoon and the bell had rung for the end of school and me and my Friends were all jumping about screaming.Mrs Gusterson dismissed us. My mum picked me up and we went home packed my bag,had dinner and left to go to the zoo.On the way there we saw Mr Riely walking past so we picked him up. We were nearly there and Mum was having trouble finding a park. So I asked mum if I could jump out of the car, get my bag and run to my friends. She said yes and so I did. Mum parked the car. She came out and I kissed her goodbye. Mum left and I played tag with my friends. Me and my friends were shouting, screaming and jumping. Shanon,the man who was in charge of the key, the zoo and taking us on the night tour, came to talk to Mr Riely and and Mrs Gusterson.Then he told us he was staying here too. He asked us if we could follow him to the back of the zoo. He opened the door and we all walked in. We walked to our camp site. You could run from one side of the room to the other in only 1minute. We dumped our bags and all our stuff on the floor. We got our mattresses and put out our sleeping bags and pillows. That took us about 10-15 minutes. After that we got told the emergency exits. Then we went on a spooky night tour. We were all shivering and quivering like mad. We were lead in the cave and we had to tip toe all the way to the end of the cave. We all got back about 9:00 or 9:30 and got a hot chocolate with 2 biscuits. My hands were really cold. We went to bed at 12 o'clock. We had competitions of who could go to bed the fastest. Olivia won! I fell asleep eventually.That morning we woke up and had breakfast and cake and went home.

Mr.Jinty's Junk Shop
ReplyDeleteMr.Jinty was the owner of the junk shop. And it was that remark, along with a sign over the shop door, J Jinty-Junk, which eventually convinced all the pieces of furniture, and ornaments, and general bric-a-brac in the shop, that things must change. They just didn't like being called junk. And everyone in the junk shop had same tale to tell. They thought that something must be done. So they had a plan not to working at all.
It was a busy day. But he didn't make one sale. So he thought that he had to pack the whole lot off to jumble sale. All the pieces in the shop had a second plan. They'll just have to try working as hard as they can, and making their selves look as smart as they possibly can.

The Last Unicorn
ReplyDeleteLong, long ago, there was a unicorn called Unsworth. Unsworth was a remerkable animal, with a white shiny coat, a proud head and a long horn stretching from his forehead. He was a beautiful animal, a noble animal, but he was very, very lonely. He thought he was the only one of his kind in the world. He searched, day and night, calling his strange cry at the sun and the moon. But nobody could tell him what he wanted to know. So on and on he went, until one evening, he saw a head of him, drinking from a golden pool, another unicorn. Unsworth was astounded. Through all his searching, deep down, inside him, thought that he would meet another creature like himself. But with one backward startled glance she was off, up and over the hill. Unsworth racing up the hill with his heart pounding. At the top he stopped. There was no sign of her. Soon it would be dark. All night he searched. The morning came and still Unsworth had not found her. He stood at the very end of the headland. Unsworth turned back to the headland and he did so noticed a large book resting against a rock. The book was called Legendary Creatures and the page it was open at showed a large and detailed picture. Above the picture was a caption Unicorns. Unsworth studied the picture. Carefully, quietly, he stepped into the picture. Then a sudden gust of wind closed the book and he was gone forever.
