The Writer of this Poem

The writer of this poem

Is taller than a house

As pretty as a princess

As hot as the sun.

As famous as a popstar

As clever as a scientist

As fast as a motor bike

As strong as a wrestler

As generous as a fairy

As skilful as a football player

As colourful as a rainbow

As funny as a comedienne

The writer of this poem

Never ceases to amaze

She's worth a million pounds

Or so this poem says.

By Erin G.(P.5)

Cory G's Magic Box.

I will put in the box:--

My dad's funniest jokes

The first party I ever had

The day I got a boat around the world.

I will put in the box:--

The biggest house in the world

The day I got a big fancy car

The biggest brain ever

I will put in the box:--

The day I went to the moon in the space shuttle

The time I saw Linkin Park

The day I got Fred Durst's hat.

My box is fashioned from silver and copper

With a football stadium on the lid

And footballs in the corner.

Its hinges are vampire's teeth.

I shall hide in this box and keep it for ever.

How would you build your box and what treasures would you keep in it?

Going To The Zoo. by Dearbhla(P.5)
(1999/2000)
Mummy Mummy Mummy!
I want to go to the zoo.
I wonder where the fish are?
Oh I wish I was one too.

Coming to the TIGER'S den
His claws are very sharp.
His mouth is open 1 2 3
And I'm closing my eyes
I don't want to see.

Oh! Looking at the hippos
Look they're VERY FAT.
They're playing in a mud thing.
You can see where they just sat.

(Animals are my favourite thing).

Spog A Caveman by Tom C (P5 1999)

Holiday Time.

At last the day had come. It was time to go to the airport. My mum and Dad were checking that all the luggage and my mum's handbag was in. Then we hit the road. We came to the airport. Me and my brother saw games and I won a toy hedgehog. We went to the shop. We were called so we got the luggage into the plane. We flew away and we got to Salou. We got a bus to our apartment. We got a key to our room. It was the afternoon and I went down to the swimming pool.

The next day I went to the pool. I met two new friends. They were Jordan and Steven. We played crazy golf. It was good fun. The next day we went to Forteventura. It was class and I think the best.

Another night we went to Bingo with Jordan. I liked it very much. The next day we played polo in the water. We won 10 - 0. It was easy-peasy. That night I went back to Forteventura. There was a big parade on at 9 O Clock. There were all different cartoon characters there. There was a show in the water. It was the best and biggest thing there. The next day I had to go home.

When I got home I was sad but that night I went to my cousin's house for dinner. I said I think Salou was the best holiday I will ever have.

SCARY NIGHTBy Laura Age 8 One night when everyone was in bed sleeping I looked out the window. It was pitch black. It was midnight. I saw a red light flash. That sent a cold shiver up my spine. A dark shadow appeared from the far distance. It flew over to my window. I saw a VAMPIRE! I couldn't close my mouth. I was like my sister when she's singing. I hid under my blanket because I was frightened. Really it was so the vampire wouldn't see me. The vampire opened the window. I curled up in a ball. I think the vampire heard me. He came over to my bed and ripped my covers. I could have sucked HIS blood. Then I froze. It was my BLOOD! AAAAAH! I jumped out of bed. I woke my sister up. When she saw the vampire she saw shouted, "MY WORST NIGHTMARE!"
I shouted, "RUN CLAIRE - MARIE. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! "
I ran like I had feathers on my feet. They were so light. I ran into a dark cupboard. I searched around for4 garlic and a cross. It is said that a vampire won't come near you if you have these things. Then I heard a light tap at the door. My blood stopped flowing, my heart stopped beating but it was only Claire-Marie.
"Laura, are you there?" she whispered. " Come down stairs and make a spear. We have to kill this terrible creature. So we tiptoed downstairs and into the kitchen. We made a spear out of wood. We made it really sharp. It would have cut the hands off you. Then we heard him coming down the stairs. We quickly rushed behind the kitchen door, ready to kill him. His footsteps became louder. My heart became louder and faster. The vampire stepped inside the kitchen door.
COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!
"Wake up Laura or you'll be late for school."
That was my mum waking me up from that terrible nightmare. One I never want to have again.
" Aren't you glad to be going to school today Laura, "Mum said. "I don't think you should take this very sharp spear with you. It is too dangerous."
"What spear Mummmmmmmmmmm ???????????????"

NOISE

I make a lot of noise while talking to the boys.
I make a lot of noise while playing with my toys.
I make a lot of noise while eating my Mc Coy's.
I make a lot of noise while playing with Roy.
My mammy tells me not to make a lot of noise
But I still do it when I am playing with my brother.

By Keifer G. Age 8 (P. 4 in 98/99)

SUMMER

U is for underneath the sea with lots of fish looking at me.

R is for romantic that means a big kiss for you.

PLANE HIJACKBy Neil Age 8 (1998/99)
One day our family decided to go on holiday. We went to get our passports and then we went to the airport. When we got there we gave the woman our tickets and then we went to get our bags x-rayed. After the x-ray we got our bags loaded on to the plane and we got in. The pilot said to fasten our seatbelts because we were about to take off. When we were 15,000 feet in the air the view was great. You could see everything. All the countries looked like little jigsaws. Just then I saw a plane beside us. Inside was a man dressed in black. I was very scared because I saw him putting a gun in his pocket. His plane got closer to ours and then I heard a great big CRASH!!! The man was inside and he turned to all of the passengers and said, "EVERYBODY GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!!!!" After he said that he busted down the cockpit room door and tied up the pilots. Then he got his gun and blew up the control systems. After that he got back into his plane and flew almost 50 miles away from our aircraft. All of the passengers rushed to the parachute room. Everyone got a parachute each, thankfully. Just then I noticed that the wing was on fire. I told everyone and they all jumped out quickly. We landed on Venus. It was beautiful. The houses were beautiful. The canals were beautiful. It was delightful. So we all landed safely from our plane disaster.

Things that annoy me!

When I watch TV my brother comes in and changes the channel and we start fighting and he calls Mum but he gets the blame. When my sister comes home I never get to spend time with her because she has a boyfriend and that really annoys me. My Mum and I go up the town. If she sees somebody that she knows she stands talking for ages and ages and that really annoys me.
My Dad gets up on a Saturday morning and he watches horses. When it is 9.25 I get up and I go down. He is watching the TV and he does not notice. Then he looks around and says, "I will put on your show in a minute." But it is like, half an hour before I get the TV and that really annoys me!

Olag the Terrible

My name is Olag the Terrible. I was given this name because I was the one who brought back all of the food, the money and the jewelry. Everyone runs away from me all the time but I always get them again. When we are going to war I wear a very special suit. We wear very strong helmets to protect our heads. When we go to war all of the rich Vikings wear lots of jewelry to look impressive. To battle we _ use knives, shields, axes and lots of other things. We used axes to cut off people's fingers, hands, toes and heads! We used shields to protect our bodies from getting hurt. We used knives to poke people's eyes out and to stab people on their backs, their bellies or anywhere else. When we are going to war we wear leather shoes. To make the leather shoes we get a piece of leather and we wrap it around our feet. When we are going to war we wear a tunic to protect our bodies from getting hurt.

The Haunted House

Last Halloween's Eve seemed so great until I received a dare to go inside the Haunted House. I said it was a bad idea. But my friend stopped me from getting away. She smiled and said, "Now Dearbhla can't be afraid of a little Haunted House." Then I said, "Well, maybe it's not haunted." This particular house had spiders on the gates, a crooked chimney, a crooked roof and the slates missing and bats flying everywhere. There was a rumour saying that a boy called Timmy Green walked inside and never came out again.
As I opened the creepy gates my mind was telling me to go back but my feet wouldn't. When I reached the door I opened it and there was the most creepiest looking pictures and furniture. I checked my watch, it was almost time for my bedtime. So I turned round and tried to open the door but it wouldn't open. I started to bang on the door shouting, "Help." But it wouldn't work. A few seconds later I thought maybe there's a window I could jump out of.
I went up the stairs and I saw the ghost! It saw me and said "Boo."
"That's not scary," I said.
"Oh, you don't think it's scary either," said the ghost.
"Why do you want to be scary when you can't," I said.
Then the ghost said, "I'm a ghost I am scary."
After that I said, "Have you ever heard of the cartoon Casper."
Next the ghost said, "What is that?"
Then I said, "It's about a ghost who is friendly."
"Maybe it's not a bad idea," the ghost said.
I said, "Well, you can start by decorating and cleaning the place."
"Thank you, how can I repay you?" said the ghost.
"Would you let me out," I said.
The ghost said, "Oh, that's no problem, there's a swirling vortex in here."
"You mean the door?" Then he let me out and when the house was all clean and decorated children came to play in the house and the ghost had lots of friends. From that day forward there was no longer a Haunted House.

GREETINGS EARTHLING!	Late Again Edward? (P.5) Edward's excuse! The reason I'm late is because a funny thing happened to me on the way to school. It was just like any other day. I got up, ate my breakfast, got changed and went off to school. On the way something weird happened. A light shone on me. I was sucked up by a space ship. When I was in the spaceship I looked around. I bumped into something slimy. Ite was an alien. He said" GREETINGS EARTHLING." I said, "I come in peace." "How did you get up here?" "You sucked me up," I said. "I'm sorry," he said. "Now you are late for school." We flew back as fast as we could in his his spaceship and that's why I'm late for school this morning, MISS!	School Transport.
