Into The Wild- Jodie Hanlon Room 11
Crusoe was looking at the fish in starvation and just dying to eat it. He was looking at the fish and nothing else . He never took his eyes off of the fish! Kirstie was looking at Crusoe and she saw the hunger in his eyes, because he was told to find food for himself and he had not eaten in 24 hours (one whole day!)
Kirstie had not had seen the ice behind her and she went slid! Sending the fish went flying and as Kirstie went down and Crusoe gulped down all of the fish. Kirstie was very hurt but she picked herself up and rubbed off all of the dirt off of her clothes.
Everybody was shouting “Are you Okay my dear?”
She cried up “I’m fine!” in a very hurtful voice.
Crusoe looked at Kirstie as if to say “Ha Ha!”
Dad had an idea, he said “Wait a minute, the roads are slidy so......”
“We can slide him down!” continued granddad.

Into The Wild...
Crusoe came eagerly to the side without waiting to be called. He could smell the fish that Kirstie was carrying on a plate.
Kirstie held the fish in front of his face. Crusoe tried to get it, but slipped on the icy rim. Dad got everyone set to help Crusoe. Crusoe tried again except, Dad and Grumble grabbed his flippers.
“Heave!” shouted Dad.
They managed to get him out the pond but he’s not the best on land. He slipped and slid on to the tarmac. Kirstie however slipped and Crusoe gobbled up all the fish.
“How will we get him to the loch now?” she asked.
“We’ll slid him!” said dad
So Grumble slid him down into the loch and away he went...

Into The Wild...
Crusoe came eagerly to the side without waiting to be called. He could smell the fish Kirstie was carrying on a plate.
Before he got hungrier Crusoe was desperate to get some food. He struggled to get out... 2 minutes later Crusoe finally got out the pond and followed Kirstie. All of a sudden, “ Ow!” screamed Kirstie.
“What Happened?” asked Angus.
“I slipped, but I’m ok,” replied Kirstie.
“Good,” said Dad in relief.
“Hurry up it’s getting cold,” said Grumble shriving. Dad had an idea,
” Why don’t we slide Crusoe along the ice?” suggested Dad.
“Good idea Dad,” replied Angus.... 12 minutes later they arrived at the loch.
“We’re here, finally,” Angus panted.
“Are you sure he’ll be alright?” asked Kirstie.
“Of course he will,” replied Dad.
“Bye Crusoe,” they all said one by one. Crusoe made a strange noise, they all knew what he meant. Crusoe left without another noise and dived into the water.
Into The Wild- Rachel Room 11
Into the wild
Crusoe came eagerly to the side without waiting to be called. He could smell the fish that Kristie was carrying on a plate. Crusoe struggled out of the pond but didn’t succeed. He was desperate to get some delicious food.
“Come on everyone, let’s help him” bellowed Dad
“Kirstie bribe him with the fish and Angus you help her.
Grumble grab one flipper and will grab the other.
1, 2, 3, GO!
“Heave” chanted Grumble and Dad
“Come on put your backs into it” screamed Angus
Finally they got Crusoe out. The ground was shivering and sparkling with ice. As Kirstie bribed Crusoe over the pebbles Crusoe followed extremely slow. Suddenly Kirstie slipped across the ice. “Kirstie!” cried Mum.
“Are you ok “put in Dad
“I am fine” replied Kirstie.
Crusoe gobbled up the fish.
“What will we do Know” asked Kirstie with a puzzled look on her face
“I know said dad why don’t we slide him down to the lochan”
“Great!” shouted Angus
1, 2, 3, PUSH!”Screamed dad
Kirstie and Angus got on his back while Dad pushed Crusoe down the road. Eventually they got to the lochan. Crusoe made a loud excited sound and raced into the lochan. He turned back to look at everyone and then disappeared out of sight.
Into The Wild - Poonam Room 11
Into the wild...
Crusoe came eagerly to the side without waiting to be called. He could smell the fish that Kirstie was carrying on a plate.
After that, Kirstie, Angus, Grumble, Mum and Dad tried to heave Crusoe out of the pond but it wasn’t so easy. They tried to heave Crusoe into the wheelbarrow, however Crusoe was too big and fat. Eventually they get him out. Grumble says “pulling him to the loch is well impossible besides Crusoe is so heavy.” They tempt Crusoe by showing him fish. Afterwards poor Kirstie falls because she bumps into huge Crusoe.
Then Dad gets an idea of sliding Crusoe down the hills and paths. Finally everyone gets Crusoe to the loch and slides him in. “PHEW!!!!!!” says everyone.
“Can we have lunch now said,” Angus.
“Sure said Mum.

The Headless Horseman by Logan S
But there is a legend that Alex and Nagol are not aware of. Deeper into the forest is a house made from a giant pumpkin, with burning candles in the window and lots of bare, crooked trees swooping around it. There are always three on the roof squawking out the dark, jet-black sky. Here lives The Headless Horseman!
Stories tell us that he has a black leather cloak, with a green inside and a pumpkin for a head. He goes around with his shiny, blood covered, sharp axe chopping peoples heads of for lunch. Apparently he rides a black horse faster than the fastest cars. Alex and Nagol don’t know what to expect.
The Monster by Laura
Long ago before dinosaurs were alive there was a lovely quiet continent called Africa.
All though Africa is a very nice and peaceful continent it was once struck by poverty.
Even through Africa didn’t have much people, shops or towns the people there were very light hearted. The children there were generally lively and mostly always out.
Quickly thunder came over the land suddenly a massive creature came. Everyone screamed worryingly. Terrifyingly he picked up a few children. In his mouth they went as everyone could hear them screaming and desperately wanting to get out.
Magasaur by Emma M
It as so much fun watching and listening to the kids running, laughing, screaming and playing on the rides. Most families were very pleasant and joyful. This one little boy on the ride ten times and got so sick he had to go back home. The ride has five loop the loops and when it finishes it finishes with BANG!!!!! (Probably because it’s so old) So many people crammed into the small carnival park from all over the country to celebrate the 696th anniversary.
Then that day the sky turned back and all that you could hear was ball the people screaming of the crowd, running for their lives “THE RIDE HAS COME ALIVE AHHHHH!!!!! yelled the crowd. A car pulled up and someone jumped out. Everyone stopped and looked “who’s that?” the crowd discussed between themselves.
The Castle of Hitler
On a stormy beach of Germany, stands a small and proud castle. The castle was used in World War II when the Nazi party fought in the War. The castle is based in a clean and happy village.
The Men and Woman in the village are friendly and peaceful. Some of the people believe that the heart of Hitler is in the castle. But no one goes near it so that’s why they live happy.
But one dark stormy night the sky turned green and the village went blue. A grey suspicious dragon came running out of the castle. The Men and Woman ran out of the village screaming and crying, as they heard the dragon shouting "I love eating children." The whole village turned back and laughed we don’t have any children. The dragon said wrong address as he ran away and the village people went back into the houses.
Sapphire and the Snake by Hannah
In that castle lived a beautiful princess called Sapphire. She had long, straight brown hair and she looked after the village very well. The villagers were very pleasant and everyone loved Sapphire.
But one day the sky turned black and a giant snake slithered into Monia and wrapped itself around the castle and trapped Sapphire inside. The villagers were petrified and the gossip spread all over Spain, Italy and France.
Now the King of Spain was Sapphire’s father and he was outraged when he found out about this so he set a challenge he said, ‘who ever can free Sapphire and kill this horrible beast can have her hand in marriage.’
The prince of France heard about this challenge and he set off to Monia and he tried to kill the snake but he did not succeed . So the prince of Canada tried to save poor Sapphire but he too did not succeed. At last the prince of Italy tried and he was full of courage and bravery and he cut the beast in half and saved Sapphire and like the King said he got her hand in marriage. They had a lovely wedding and had three kids called Mona, Minnie and Mandy.
The River Monster by Sarah
The hills stood tall and proud so high their tips were in the clouds. On one side of the hills there were fields and fields of luscious green grass but this story’s not set there, its set in the village on the other side of the hill, called Ballahullish.
The village was a small village with only a farm, one or two shops and a few scattered houses.
The people in Ballahullish weren’t poor nor rich and were all good friends. The village was a happy village until the River Monster came.
There was a river that wove in and out between the houses in Ballahullish and that’s where the monster lived. It went around gobbling up the people in the village but they were still alive in the monster’s tummy. When you were lying in your bed you could hear the eaten people’s cries for help echoing around the village.
The One Eye Giant By Bili x
Long, Long ago in a scary Jungle with lime green trees and a hill so bright as lights. It was cold Winter day snow was tallest mountain the in the Jungle.
A group of kids were out camping everyone was happy and cheery. A little girl called Poppy and her best friend Jenna were having tea together. Everything was going great all of the friends were having dinner together.
Suddenly a dark cloud arrived, happiness fled from the Jungle. Poppy and Jenna went to see what was happening. A very large giant appeared but it wasn’t any old giant it only had one eye!! The one eye giant kidnapped them, he took Poppy and Jenna to a little shed far far away from the camping area. The one eye giant tapped them!....
The one eye giant was going to EAT THEM, Poppy and Jenna screamed HELP but nobody could heard them.....
The Creature by Maliha
People lived in that village, happy to their hearts content. They had children to play with food to eat and houses to live in.
But one day, a danger could be sensed in the air that made the people tremble with fear and darkness spread over the land frightening all the children!!
Day of Peril By Mark
In an old town in the countryside there was a forest and that forest was known as the forest of silver light.
The people in the town went about their work, the children playing and singing as the sun shone in the sky.
Until!!BANG!! A huge explosion. Everybody ran to see where it had come from. Then they all gazed upon a humongous rock on top of the forest .Everyone shouted “No the forest has been destroyed”. Then the rock began to split. It was just then that they realized that it was an egg. Then a humongous fire breathing dragon burst out. Everyone ran indoors. The dragon destroyed all their crops and all their animals they were all sure to be doomed!!
The Great Sea-Witch!!! By Heather
Drakmourth was the happiest place in the world. It had children playing and the sea swaying in the breeze. There had never been a rainy day in Drakmourth. To get water the people had to go to the gushing gusar of Goby, which had the freshest water through the whole land!
One day Jully was going up to get water she found Sue and Taz there to. (They were also getting water). Suddenly they burst into a sea of tears. “What is ever the matter?’’Jully asked “We were .... Walking down the beach with Josef ... “Sue said quietly.” And” Said Jully.”Well ... we saw this thing ... in the sand ... and we sort of pulled it ...” Sue said and before she could say anymore Taz butted in and he screamed (still crying) “A hole opened up and Josef fell in it.” Suddenly there was a big CRASH! Then a puff of smoke and the ground shook and then there stood right in front of them the ugliest sea-witch they had ever seen !?! They all screamed!!! Terrified they slowly backed off!!!
Disaster at the Beach! By Jennifer Ritchie
Once apon a time, long, long ago, beside a village, there was a seaside. That seaside has been closed for a long time ever since ...
There once lived a family, a mum, dad, two twin boys and a little girl. All their life they had been full of laughter and happiness, until one day the laughter and happiness fled from the beach.
One day the little girl, Aleigsha was making a sand castle and the boys, Jim and James were splashing each other in the water, their mum and dad were sunbathing in the hot sun. Everyone was having fun. Some teenagers were playin volleyball, other kids were burrying each other in the sand.
Then suddenly a big seamonster came out making everyone terrified,"HELP, a big scary, weird looking monster!" screamed James. Everyone was running for their lifes.
The monster was hurting everyone, he was spitting water at everyone. He even through a little boy in the sea. He was smacking down rocks, srangling people with his wiggly arms. Everyone was terrified. Jim screames "WHAT IF HE KILLS US!"
Then suddenly someone came flying over the hills "don't worry I will save you,"A man called 'Jay-man' said. Jay-man tried shooting the monster, using bows and arrows but the monster just wouldn't die.Jay-man tried everything but it just wouldn't work. But then he thought f something. "I have an idea!"Jay-man had thought of a brilliant idea. He discovered a big cage and he then placed it on the sand and put a big, juicy steak right in the middle of the cage. When the seamonster came to eat the steak the cage trapped him inside. the big seamonster got pushed down a big, massive mountain! Jay-manwas praised forever and everyone loved him .He stayed near the beach and saw everyone everyday. He had a happy life from then on.
Moving Water by Melissa
One day a little girl and her parents went to the beach.
The little girl Sophie could see something in the water. It looked like stones but it wasn’t. Sophie screamed as loud as she could. “Sophie what’s wrong?” said her Dad. Sophie just pointed in the water. They realised it was a sea creature. The sea creature opened its mouth trying to grab Sophie by her dress.
Write The Opening For A Legend - By Ellie :-)
WALT – write the opening for a legend
There were two girls called Rennie and Jessica, and they were aged 9 and 10. They were the best of friends and most of the time their mums and dads said they were closer than sisters!
One day the two girls decided to go to the local newsagents which is just across the road from the super market and they both knew the route backwards, forwards and probably even side-ways!!! They had an idea to go to the newsagents to get a magazine, juice and crisps and sweets, so off they went, down the long, long and very steep hill (by the time they actually got there, their legs were really tired!!!) Then it was time to go on the boat ... but it was too choppy to sail but none of them noticed this. They went onwards with their “adventure”. There was something on the water when Rennie and Jessica dipped their feet in to cool off. A big long type of devil / mermaid / dog / fish (a bit of everything really!) Then it came out from the water...
The Crocodile Rock By Caitlin
The Crocodile Rock
Years Ago Millport, it was just a normal day. People going past on bikes, people having ice-cream. Just an ordinary day.
Kirsty aged five was down in Millport for a day with her two younger sisters Becky and Rachael. Kirsty was bored out of her skull unlike her sisters she was not having fun. So she decided to go for a wander down to the crocodile rock! As her mum and sisters went bonkers, she was sitting quite the thing on the crocodile rock!
Then suddenly the tide came in, she was stranded. All of a sudden she felt herself rise. It was the crocodile rock, it had come alive!
Rachael and Becky could see Kirsty. So they went to get their mum. Jackie came, jumped over the railing onto the crocodile rock. The sisters where happier now but only for a little while because the crocodile rock started moving back and back until it was out of sight! Then the rock had a huge yawn, Kirsty was terrified. Then the rock started sinking.....
All the crowed were gob-smacked! Becky and Rachael were screaming with fear and terror whilst everyone else was running about looking for help.
The Garrison doors flew open and John came out. Even though he only owned the Garrison he had muscles like a wrestler! He said " Have no fear, I will help. Go into your houses and dont come out until I walk past your home!"
The next day when the tide was out, John could see the rock, lying in the harbour as well as Jackie and Kirsty! (Becky and Rachael stayed with John the night Jackie and Kirsty went missing.) John then reunided Jackie and Kirsty with their family. Then John through the biggest rock he could see at the crocodile and it froze, back to the normal rock! Eveyone was ever so happy now!
Despite everything that had happened that week, when they left they had a smile on their face and Millport was back to the quite little island!

He has horns and hair on his head. There is nothing different about his head than mine. He has sharp arms and bat wing and (that is how he got his name). Surprisingly, he wears normal clothes, his legs are as furry as a polar bear, he has big feet.
He works at his dad's restaurant underground because he makes the family recipes. he adds all the ingredients, then blow fire on it. The restaurant is a bit like a cave. He lives in a plane-boat above Scotland (It can fly or go in water).
