The Sea
by Chloe Davies (Year 5)
One day a little girl called Mollie was very excited
because she was going to the seaside and was going to stay there for a week
with her mum. When they got there Mollie stood for a moment. Then she ran down to the wooden decking and
down the sand dunes and on to the sand. Her best friend Rosie was waiting for
her at the bottom. They both ran down to
the shore and they played a few games called ‘Sharks’, ‘Volley Ball’ and ‘Ashes’.
They spent a lot of time in the sea until Rosie
said, "Oh, Mollie you’re a mermaid." As Mollie looked down she saw
her gleaming and sparkling tail had become visible. "Oh no, that’s not
good!" Mollie screamed. Mollie swam up to an island and her tail appeared
to be fading away. "That was a relief,” sighed Mollie. The night came and
Mollie's mum called out, "Bed time Mollie, hurry up!" Mollie swam up
to the surface and then to her mum and gave her a big hug. They both went
inside and put on their pyjamas and snuggled in tight and fell fast asleep.
That night Mollie had a dream that she had to make a choice, to give up her
mermaid powers or stay a mermaid and live in the sea forever. "Ahhhh!"
cried Mollie, as she woke up with a fright. "Are you ok Mollie?" Mum
was concerned. Mollie replied, "Yes mum I’m just fine." So they both went
back to sleep.
In the morning Mollie threw off her bed covers and
got dressed. She ran into the sea and soaked herself through. Her tail was
showing now and some children were starting to wake up so Mollie plunged into
the sea and hid. "Wow, look at that girl she's a mermaid!" One child
exclaimed.
This news made lots of children crowd around the
big rock that Mollie was hiding behind. "Away, now all of you, there’s
nothing to see here!” Well that was close. Mollie breathed a sigh of relief.
The day was coming to an end; it was nearly 6 o’
clock. "Rosie, time to come in,”
Mum called. "Ok Mum, I’m coming,” replied Mollie.
That night Rosie had the same dream as Mollie and
woke up in the same way as Mollie did. "That’s strange, I’m not a
mermaid,” Rosie said disappointingly. The morning came and the same thing happened
again.

The Sea
By Enya Morgan and Isabelle Thomas (Year 5)
One
sunny afternoon a little girl named Jessie, who lived with her brother Edward,
mother Rebecca and her father EJ, were moving house. Jessie was sad that they were moving because
she thought that she would not make friends with other people. She loved their home. The dreaded day came and
the family were all packed, ready to leave. Jessie and Edward were in the car
while their mother and father were locking up.
It
took two hours to get to their new home. Jessie and Edward were very tired so
they took to their beds. They went to sleep for thirty minutes and then they
had to help their parents to unpack. Once they had finished unpacking they decided
to visit the seaside as they lived quite close by. The weather was very hot.
It
was 7 o'clock and Jessie and Edward were still at the seaside and they were
having so much fun, but then a mysterious thing happened. A group of sea shells
with eyes and mouths appeared forming a line for Jessie to follow; she wandered
what it would lead to. Next came the most exciting moment of her life, she saw
mermaids sitting on a rock. They were
multi-coloured. It was beautiful the way
that their tails glimmered in the moonlight.
Soon
after Jessie approached them and asked, “Hello, will you hurt me and my family?"
“No.”
replied a mermaid as she slowly moved closer and closer.
Suddenly, one of the mermaids named Emerald
and her friend Pearl the dolphin, appeared and said there was danger coming
right their way so they had to go, but then Jessie said, "Wait I want to
come with you."
Emerald said, "Quick, drink this potion and
then swim."
"But
I can’t swim," moaned Jessie and Emerald smiled and said, "That is
why I’m giving you the potion.” So
Jessie drank the potion quickly and suddenly a green, scaly mermaid tail
appeared where her legs once were. Edward was so shocked he was lost for words,
so instead of going inside he decided to play with the talking shells and
crabs.
As soon as the group of mermaids left
with Jessie a vast pirate boat appeared in the distance and took Edward aboard. The chief pirate Captain Flynn, the nastiest
of all, said, "Where are the mermaids?"
"I
don’t know where they are," said Edward, cowering in fear. The mean Captain
Flynn shouted, "Walk the plank!” Edward begged, "No, I want to be a
pirate too, arrghh!!!"
Edward
ran away to try to find Jessie and when he got back he yelled, "Arrghh, me
hearties!"
But
then Captain Flynn, using his telescope, shouted, “I’ve spotted the mermaids,
over there, near the lagoon!” The ship tried to get near the mermaids but they
were too quick and swam away. The last glimpse Jessie took was of her brother
Edward, being captured by Captain Flynn and having his hands tied behind his
back. Jessie cried and tried to swim nearer to save Edward who was now walking
the plank.
The
next thing Jessie could hear was her dad’s voice whispering, "Jessie, wake
up, wake up," and her eyes opened and her adventure had only been a dream.
The Sea
by Mollie Williams (Year 5)
On a beautiful day a family
of four moved to a beach cabin on a beach called Shelly's Seaside. They heard that this beach was a magical
beach and that secrets need to be untold. So once they settled down, the two
children made their way down to the beach.
It was full of people sunbathing and splashing in the rock pools. The
eldest child Rally, who loved reading and learning about sea, loved the
mythical creatures ‘mermaids’. Her sister Tammy on the other hand loved
pirates, swordfish and throwing sand at her sister. Of course Rally would not go anywhere near
her sister on the beach. Suddenly all the people ran from the sea and sand to their
houses and cars and started screaming. One
man said, "Run, run for your life!
It’s the revenge of the pirate Captain Scully and Lutia the mermaid!
RUN!”
Tammy and Rally heard the
words mermaid and pirate so they ran until they saw a
ghost ship and loads of splashes in the water, so they started running back but
the mermaid and the pirate grabbed them and took them to the water. They pulled the children down to the water;
they nearly drowned! Then in the deep smoke a golden shell came into view.
The sisters were about to grab
the shell but the pirate and the mermaid pushed them away. Lutia the mermaid
said, "You will never, ever snatch the lost shell, it belongs to our
sister Shelly, yes this is her beach, she used to have this shell, our father
gave it to her before he died, but a couple of weeks later she died too and
because she did not pass on the shell to us it's lost and we are going to find
it - not you!".
“Well, what happened to you
two then?" asked Rally.
Lutia replied, "We
turned up like this because of a sea witch, we asked her to find the shell so
she gave us a map. We followed the map to a cove named Seabys cove but a terrible
curse was inside the cove. We did not
know, so we ran to the shell and grabbed it, but it disappeared. We suddenly started changing to sea creatures.
We were blown to the sea, dropped into the water and turned in to a pirate and
mermaid so every year we would haunt the beach and scare the people away.”
“That’s mean!" blurted
out Tammy.
"Shhh Tam, when they’re
not looking I will take the shell, you just go back to the house to tell Mum
and Dad not to worry. I will be
okay!" said Rally, who was shaking with nerves.
Tammy ran as fast as she
could home to tell her mum and dad but still on the beach Rally was shaking and
she was so scared. Then, as the creatures turned around, she grabbed the shell
and ran so fast that she did not care that her flip-flops fell off. As she got
in the house she slammed the front door and just grabbed the ice-cream out of
her Mum’s hand. The next day she set up a lemonade stand and an ice-cream cart
on the side of the beach. Rally and Tammy were proud for what they had done so
they threw a party for everyone on the beach. They had a barbeque, ice-cream
and some music. They all soon made friends with some girls called Callie,
Missy, Mason and Lianne. They had a lot of fun!
The Sea
by Jasmine Treharne (Year 5)
Once upon a time there was a
mother called Jessica and her two children Claire and Megan. They loved to go
to the sea every day. One day Claire and Megan wanted to go swimming in the sea
and their mother said, "Claire, you are eighteen years old and Megan is
only five years old so you are going to have to take her with you, okay".
"Ok mummy, bye.” replied
Claire.
It took them fifteen minutes
to get to the sea but they finally got there. They swam in the sea for quite a
while and Megan had a float to help her swim. They had a great time but soon it
was time to go home.
"Megan, it is time to go
home and mummy is cooking dinner,” Chloe said.
"Ok Claire.” Megan
answered.
When they got home they asked
their mother what was for dinner and Mum said, “Peas, Yorkshire pudding, carrots,
potatoes and stuffing.” They had quite a
busy day; they were very tired so they decided to go to bed.
The next day they went to the
sea to swim again but they saw something very strange; it was a mermaid. They
went up to her and said, "What’s your name?”
"My name is Sophia,” responded
the mermaid.
"What a beautiful name
Sophia. My name is Claire and this is my
sister Megan.”
"Megan and Claire, what
lovely names.” Sophia smiled.
"We have got to go home
Megan, mummy is cooking food.”
"Goodbye Megan and
Claire. See you soon.”
"Mummy, we’re home,
sorry we’re a little late,” apologised Claire.
"Where have you been?
Your food has been ready a while. You
have bacon, beans and toast.”
"Lush, I love that food!"
said Megan excitedly. Not long after supper they all had an early night and
went to bed.
The next day Megan and Claire
rushed down to swim in the sea again to find Sophia but they could not find
her. Suddenly she came out of nowhere. Megan then asked, "Sophia, are you
magic?"
Sophia replied, "Do not
tell anyone but I am magic.”
"Cool. Can you make us
mermaids too?” asked Megan.
"Yes, but I will give
you a necklace so you can change from a human to a mermaid, so that you can
visit us at any time you want.” replied Sophia.
"Goodbye Sophia.” whispered
Claire and Megan.
"Goodbye Megan and
Claire!” shouted Sophia.
Finally after their exiting
adventure they went home.
Treasure Turtle
by Carla Canlin (Year 6)
It is forty years
later than my story. It is 2053.
Forty years ago, something astonishing happened. So I will
tell you my story.
I was at the beach, when all of a sudden I saw something
green in the distance. I approached towards it, when I saw it was a turtle. I
decided to follow it. After five minutes later it stopped on a small lump. So I
dug it up and I saw a pretty gold pebble with a silver cross and a green jewel.
I grabbed it and the turtle and I sprinted home.
The next day I took it to the local museum. The man read the
code on the back of the pebble and it said that it cost millions. He said he
would keep it at the museum until I was older and I could take it home.
I called the turtle G.S.G.P. and put it in the Turtle Sanctuary
: put together with the money I got from the pebble. It’s been sat in my glass
cabinet for years, but I decided to carve the jewel out of the pebble. I went
to a jeweller and he made a necklace for me.
I took it to the beach and buried it where I found the
pebble. So that one day somebody would find it. Maybe it could be
you!................................
Beach Adventure
by Bethany Wisdom (Year 6)
"Wake up, sleepy head." Mum walked into my room
and pulled open the curtains. I groaned as light flooded into my room. What
normal person wakes up at half six in the morning?! I thought.
"Don, get up!" exclaimed Mum. "I want to get
an early start."
"Why?" I protested, sitting up and eyeing the tray
full of breakfast that my mum had brought me.
"You're going to the beach. It would be nice for Emma
to go and explore with you." She sat down on the edge of my bed and
watched me eat. I sighed as I remembered my snobby cousin who had come to stay
with us while her parents were away for a month.
"I'm not taking her anywhere!" I declared.
"Please darling." Mum tried to convince me.
"I have to stay here and do the washing." I thought about the huge
mountains of washing that came to Mum's launderette each week. She usually
sacrificed Saturday mornings to wash it all.
"OK." I said. I knew that it would be boring at
home and in the end Mum would just ask us to stop and help. There was no chance
of me stopping and helping!
"Be quick." Mum said. "Emma's getting
ready."
This was going to be one long morning.
I stood on the pale golden sand, watching the aqua waves
gallop up the beach. My hair blew wildly around in the wind.
"Don!" I was interrupted by Emma, who walked over
to me and grabbed my arm. Her neat, French nails dug into my skin. I flinched
and pulled my arm away. "Donna, look at that cave!" She pointed to a
dark, deep, looming void on the other side of the beach.
"Cool." I replied and carried on looking out to
sea.
"Let's go in." she said, as if she was commanding
me to do it.
"I don't think that's such a good idea. Nobody's ever
been in there."
"Well I'll be the first." She started off in the
direction of the cave.
"Don't!" I shouted. It was too late. She couldn't
hear me. I had no choice but to race after her...
"Help!" The water was up to my ankles.
"Someone help
us!" cried Emma. We clambered higher up the rock face. We were in the
cave, but the tide had come in and we were trapped. Completely and utterly
trapped. I sat on a flat rock and wondered how long we had to live. Probably
about fifteen minuets, I decided. I turned to Emma. I gasped in disbelief. For
the first time, Emma, my snobby, heartless cousin, was crying. Crying! The
water was now up to my waist.
"Help! We're in here!" I screamed until my throat
was raw. By the time the water had reached my chin, I was also on the verge of
tears.
But then I heard a noise. A splashing. And it was getting
closer! Suddenly, a man appeared and told us not to worry, that he was going to
get us out of here. "Take a deep breath." He commanded. We swam out
through a hole they had made in the stone. For a few minutes, I lay on the
sand, gasping for breath. And then Emma walked up to me. "I'm sorry about
the way I treated you." she said.
"It's OK." was all I could say. We've been best
friends ever since.
My Story
By Ebony Dermody (Year 6)
One day in spring, me and my family went down Cardigan to
spend a couple of weeks but me and Sam had heard rumours about the farmhouse we
were staying in. Once we got to the farmhouse we started searching everywhere
to see if we could find any clues but we couldn't so, we just left it for
another day.
Meanwhile outside, our parents were unloading the car, when
all of a sudden it turned to night. Me and Sam bounded inside but when we
reached the front door we saw strange looking statues in the hall with their
ghostly pale hands poking out of strange looking cloaks around their shoulders.
I screamed as Sam started moving towards the four statues. I ran towards him to
pull him back but as soon as I touched him I too was being pulled towards the
four strange people, mesmerised by their beauty.
We woke up as a small beam of sunlight streamed into the
dark room. When we got dressed a bolt of adrenaline shot through us because we
knew that today was Easter, but we weren't in our bedroom, we were in the Devils
Lair. We were so scared we didn't know or
see the four statues come behind us. I could feel their cold breath on
my neck so I swiftly turned around whipping Sam with me.
The statues weren't what me and Sam thought they were. Their
faces looked as though they were in pain.
"Hello Ebony and Sam." whispered the tallest one
in a blood chilling voice.
"Hello." I answered my voice breaking.
"Where are we?" asked Sam,
"Why you’re in Wonderland!" answered the small blonde
girl.
Our faces were so shocked the statues had to shake us in a
threatening way.
"Wait so if we're in Wonderland what are you meant to
be?" shouted Sam.
"Why you don't recognise us. Surely our skin gives it
away?" answered the smallest statue.
"Sam come here a second I know who they are. They are
the ghosts that died here over a thousand years ago. I'd recognise them
anywhere." I told Sam.
The next day we went down Mwnt which is a beach and we went
body-boarding. I smashed the record and the reward was that me and my family
get FREE stuff.
We couldn't walk because our arms were weighed down by the
weight of the FREE stuff.
Seaside Day!
By Kaitlyn Thomas (Year 6)
One summer's morning Rosie was in her bed sleeping then her
brother Toby woke her up "Rosie wake up, wake up!"
"What now Toby?"
"Mum and dad are taking us to the seaside because its a
nice day."
Rosie got out of her bunk-bed and slipped her slippers on
and raced into her mum and dad's room, but no-one was in there, only Rosie's
dog Pixie who was having a snooze on the beanbag. So Rosie ran down the stairs
and went into the kitchen and saw her mum packing bread rolls, burger buns, hot
dogs, burgers, lemonade, plastic cups and the old BBQ. Her dad was packing up
beach towels, swim suits, beach umbrellas, deck chairs, Toby and Rosie's surf
boards and wind brakes.
"Rosie get dressed because it's time to go." said
Rosie's mum.
Rosie got dressed quickly and they set off, it was 12:30pm
when they arrived, they all got out of the car and went for a stroll down the
beach, after half an hour of walking across the beach they found a good spot
for them to lay down their things. While Rosie's mum and dad were setting up,
Rosie and Toby changed into their swimsuits and went for a paddle and went on
their surf boards for a while. After that they ate burgers and hot dogs and
drank lots of lemonade and had some ice-cream from the shop near by. Then it was
time to leave.
The seaside
By April Thomas (Year 3)
One beautiful summer's morning my mum told me that we were going to the
seaside. On the journey my belly felt
tickly. When we arrived at the seaside I saw an ice-cream van. I had a mint ice-cream. The mint ice-cream
was minty and it had chocolate drops in it.
I asked if I could swim with a dolphin.
The lady said, "Yes." I
was so excited that I screamed, "Thank you!" at her.
Meanwhile, after that I went on a boat trip. I saw the waves crashing together. The
seaweed was floating in the salty sea.
The sun was glazing on the wet salty sea. I was sitting down on the soft lumpy burning
sand with the sun blazing down on me. I
looked above me and I saw the pink fluffy clouds floating in the calm blue
sky. I heard the cold blowing wind. My mammy and I played ball.
After that, I went back in the sea and I saw a mermaid with
a colourful tail. I said,
"Hello," to her. "What's
your name?" she asked.
"My name is April. What's your name?"
"My name is Lily."
I had a swim with her. I saw crabs and fish. Lily took me
deep in the damp salty sea. Lily took me to mermaid world she showed me around.
I felt excited. In mermaid world there's a tail shop and a magical castle.
They all lived happily ever after.
The Seaside
By Shauna Brown (Year 5)
One summery afternoon there lived a beautiful, intelligent
girl called Ella. She was 15 years old. She was just about to go to the seaside
with her friends. Their names were Mollie , Ally, Ffion and Elizabeth. Ffion
went to get ice cream for the girls. Ally said “She’s coming back now with our ice creams."
Mollie said “I hope its our favourite kinds."
The golden sunshine shone on them.
Elizabeth said “Look at those tiny crabs. The seagulls look
beautiful in the bright blue sky, don't they girls?”
“Yes they do! Shall
we build a sandcastle or go swimming in the sea.”
“Let’s go to the sea. Ahh! The waves are so big,. Ahh! They
are gigantic now.”
The lifeguards were
keeping a close eye for danger to happen. Then a boy in the sea got unconscious.
He felt dizzy and then he fainted. The lifeguards quickly got him in the
ambulance.
Then there was a shark on the loose. The lifeguards were
getting furious. Oh no! The shark was coming to the shore.
“Lets get out of the sea!” Simultaneously, the lifeguards
were trying to kill the shark and everyone on the beach were terrified. Then,
finally, they killed the shark.
“What time is it?"
“It is 6:30.”
So the girls went home.
Ella's mother asked “How was the seaside to day?"
Ella said “It was very interesting."
“Oh right.”
The golden sun still shone on the five girls. They felt like
shiny stars and that is the story about the seaside.

The sea
By Scarlett, Jude, Shane Aimee (Year 4)
One sunny morning in a land called Coral Ocean there lived a
girl called Chez. She loved the ocean and all the beautiful creatures around
her. But there were very EVIL creatures around like sharks, killer whales and
lobsters that ate trespassers.
So the journey began with all her Ocean friends. First they
landed in the peaceful land of dolphins where they met Bubbles and Splashy, the
two most beautiful creatures Chez had seen in her life. She was fascinated by
the wonderful creatures around her.
"Hello"said Chez. What a beautiful land you have.
I was just passing, running away from the deadly lobster, terrifying sharks and the two killer whales.”
"Don't be afraid. This land is out of bounds for
terrible creatures like them."
said Bubbles.
"We should be going now."
So they said their goodbyes and went to carry on their journey.
They walked on and saw a forest in front of them. It was the starfish forest. So,
they finally approached the starfish forest. They walked into the Starfish
Forest .
"Wow! Look at those wonderful animals around us.
They’re twinkling with sparkles."
They were everywhere, up high and down low. It was amazing
to see animals like that. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was a magical
moment. They passed through the starfish forest. Then they heard a little voice
saying.
"You need to go quick."
“But where are we?"
“In the lobster cove,"
said a little voice.
"Who was that?"
"It doesn't matter. I have been trying to get out of this
place for years and I have only gone half the way," he said. “But even
that took a VERY long time. So hurry up and go or you will die.”
"I will take you with me."
"No it's fine. I will stay here to guard.
In a blink of an eye, Chez grabbed the little creature and
ran as fast as she could. "Wait you’re my friend."
“Just leave me behind."
"No I won’t. I know what it feels like. I will take you
to your home like real friends do."
"Thank you," said the little creature.
So they went off and
carried on their journey. Then they walked a few miles and they approached the SHARK REEF!
The little creature said, "Where are we?"
"I don't know but we better get out of here," said
Chez.
"I agree with you," said the little creature. So
they started running and the two sharks said "Stop! You’re not going
anywhere."
So then they swam after Chez but she was fast. So she held
the creature in her hands and ran. A few miles later they got home. The little
creature was safe. Chez met a boy mermaid and they got married.
A stroll to the beach
By Samantha Taylor (Year 5)
Once upon a time, a little boy named Tim went on holiday
with his Mum and Dad. They went to a caravan in Aberporth.
One day it was lovely and sunny, so they decided to go for a
stroll to the beach. There were lots of people there. Children were playing in
the water, building sandcastles and playing with bats and balls and having lots
of fun. Tim was walking through the sand barefoot, kicking it up as he went
along. He also was picking up some pretty shells.
His Mum and Dad decided to go walking along the coastal
path. As they did they looked out to sea. They could see some dolphins swimming
and jumping in and out of the water. It was a lovely sight to see. They walked
along the coastal path until they reached Cwmtudu, a small cove and beach.
There were rocks on both sides of the cove and a crowd of
people all looking towards the rocks on one side. They could not get too near
but they could see a family of seals on the rocks, two adults and two babies or
pups. They took plenty of photos of some of the seals and the dolphins. They
had a lovely time but it was soon time to start back along the path to
Aberporth.
Before they got back to the caravan they had fish and chips.
It had been a lovely day and they had had a lot of fun.
At the seaside
By Cerys Thomas and Year 3
It was a beautiful summer’s day so I decided to go to the
seaside with the sun gleaming on me. I picked beautiful flowers and went
swimming in the glistening sea.
I went to pick some more flowers and underneath the bed of
blossoms lay an unusual orange flower. As I was about to pick the flower, it
began to grow bigger and bigger. I tried to destroy it but it was too powerful.
I looked around and saw a pirate digging in the golden sand
for treasure. I asked him kindly if he could chop the stem off. As soon as he
had swung his sword, we saw that the strange flower had something shiny inside.
Bursting out like a firework came a glittering rainbow that sparkled like icy
snow.
We all watched the rainbow while sitting under a palm tree
enjoying a delicious picnic.
A day at the seaside
By Olivia Morgan (Year 6)
“Wake up Neve, Mammy said she’ll take us to the beach
today!” I exclaimed.
“Oh what? Really! Yay! We haven’t been to the seaside for a
long time,” said Neve.
Me and Neve got dressed, brushed our teeth and washed our
faces, just in time to go out. Me, my Mother and Neve started to walk to the
beach. When we got there it was extremely hot. There was also an ice-cream shop
there. We stopped for ice-cream and then me and Neve went in the sea and had a
water fight. Then we dried off and made a little tennis pitch in the sand. We
had brought some tennis racquets and a small tennis ball and started to play
tennis. After, I won nearly all the games, we went for a walk around the beach.
After, we were so exhausted that we all agreed that we needed some food and a
drink. So we sat down and had food.
Me and my Mother had fish and chips. Neve doesn’t like fish,
obviously, and she had burger and chips. When we finally gobbled our food all
up, we finished the day and walked home just in time, because it started to
rain, obviously, because we live in Wales. We all really enjoyed the day and
wanted to go again.
A day at the seaside
By Ewan Alger-Palmer (Year 6)
One day there was a boy called Leon he lived with his
brother Ewan, his mum and his dad.
His mother said" It's a lovely day why don't we go to
the seaside" and he said "Yes". So he ran up the stairs and got his
towel, his swimming trunks, his bucket, his spade and his sun glasses. As he
was getting his things his mother was making the picnic to take to the seaside.
His mother called "Are you ready to go?"
Leon replied "Yes!" So off they went.
When they got to the seaside they found a nice spot on the
beach, put down their towels and Leon made some sand castles with his bucket
and spade. He was having so much fun. Next they went down to the sea to have a
paddle in the sea but Leon did not like the cold water. So his mum said lets go
and have our picnic. They had their
picnic, then went for a walk along the beach where he found some shells to take
home and to put on his sand castle. It was a lovely day at the seaside.
Leon was getting tired so they decided it was time to go
home. What a lovely fun day they had at the seaside. His mother read him a
story and off to sleep he went, as he had enjoyed a busy day out.
The Sea
by Evan, Katie, Casey, Zaid, Morgan (Year 4)
One beautiful morning I woke up. I had a great idea to go on
a mystical adventure. So I went to the snowy Mountains to explore. I saw the
beautiful sea.
So I walked down the mountain to go to the sea to look at
all the fish. I was soon there. I think I saw a mermaid. I saw a hermit crab
crawling across the beach to find a shell.
“Wow! That is amazing. That looks COOL!” I said. Then I saw
people walking across the coast. “Hey! Wow! Who are you people? What’s your
name?”
“Bob and Tom.”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Steven.”
“You’re the first people I’ve seen around here ….except for
my family.”
Just at that moment, a mermaid popped up from the sea.
“Hello, that’s our friend.”
“What’s her name?”
“Ella. Hello,” she said. “What’s your name?” Then her mum
was calling her.
“Ella! Ella your food.” Ella’s mum called her, that’s Ella’s
mum Layla and Steven her father. Then that minute, floating in the shimmering
water was Marky and Alex.
“Hey, hello there!” Then the two whales appeared. “Hi Sam
and Kelly!”
“Hello,” said Steven. “How are you?”
“We are whales.” That minute the starfish Becky and Chelsea,
their best friends were there. That second, he remembered that he put a map in
his bag. So Steve said goodbye and he rushed off.
“Where are you going Steven?”
“I am going on an adventure.”
He followed the map and there was a treasure map on it. He
was amazed. He followed the treasure map and after two hours, he finally found
the treasure.
“Wow!” he said. “That is so COOL! That is AMAZING! A magic
pound. It was so shiny, I could not believe my eyes.”
I felt it. It was a magical pound and there was the golden
treasure. He ran down to it and he tried to pull and pull. But it did not work.
So he tried and tried, but it did not work. But he didn’t give up. He tried and
tried over and over again. But it did not work. So he just waited and waited
but nothing happened. So he made a wish because he saw a shooting star go past.
He wished for a day that he could get the buried treasure. At that moment, he
saw a light shining in his face. He wondered what it was. It felt like he was
floating away up in the sky like a hot air balloon. He shut his eyes and
thought he was so magical. Then the light got dimmer …………

A digital blip caused the group to lose part of their story
– but they had worked so hard on it, I didn’t want to leave it out. Perhaps the
readers could finish it themselves....
