To give an example, just in the last couple of weeks the children's visits have ranged from Reception visiting the 'Queen Elizabeth II', riding on the Peak tram, or choosing plants from the nursery, to the Primary V and VL visit to the Henry Moore Exhibition. The school's representatives selected for the Hong Kong teams have played Netball and Football against the Kowloon teams, and the chess team have hosted a game with one of the English Schools Foundation schools. Primary Ill classes have been involved in the sex education project and enjoyed the timely arrival to Cuddles of a litter of six baby rabbits . Primary I and II have mounted a delightful Easter display of rabbits and ducks in the foyer. The Assemblies have included the Primary l musical version of Cinderella, the Primary VI sports drama and mime and Primary V poems, posters and stories on teeth. Many of the classes are closely following the progress of Halley's Comet, although we have not heard of a sighting yet. The choir are busy at work , preparing a performance for parents of 'Rip van Winkle'. Many of the children have been involved in producing drawings of school life for the new Parents' Booklet , and everyone has been learning a song for the opening of our garden . The highlight of the week was without a doubt the ceremonial opening of the new Kellett Garden . We are all very appreciative of the extra space our new garden has provided, which will give the children during break and lunch play a new venue for summer picnic lunches, for quiet, shady seating under the banyan tree, for house play or just the opportunity to enjoy a garden atmosphere . We will also use the garden to support the curriculum as it creates a new environment for scientific and topic work. The planters will provide garden space for the children to plant, grow, tend and observe their own flowers and vegetables; the variety of plants included will not only encourage insect life but also provide specimens for plant study . Our bird table will , we hope, encourage birds to use the garden and we also hope to make space for animal runs and an aviary. Some of our children are lucky enough to have a garden in Hong Kong but many do not, and I am sure they will all benefit from this new dimension added to our school facilities. Congratulations to the teachers, the magazine committee, and of course to the children for again producing such an enjoyable magazine which admirably reflects Kellett 1985-86. l would like to take this opportunity to thank all who support the school in many different ways: the school governors, the parents who help on a day to day basis in school, helping in the medical room, the resources centre, the library and the classrooms, and those who help at Brownies, Cubs and Saturday Morning Sports. l think particular thanks should go to this year's fund-raising organisers for supporting our garden project. The teachers enjoy the support of parents in their work: it is this joint approach which makes the children's attitude to school such a positive one. l 8 th March , 1986.

You have to score four markers. In the forest and swamp you can only move one square, on the plain ground two squares and on the paths three squares. You caw not go too near the cliff otherwise you will fall and die. I played with Eleanor and Alan helped too. We liked the program a lot. It was a tie. Dragon World We have been doing a computer program called 'Dragon World'. The story begins in Dragon World. It was a peaceful place until one day a blue dragon showed all the other dragons five magic teeth which belonged to Bewgo. All the other dragons wanted the teeth. so there was a quarrel. All of dragon World was on fire because of the flames from the dragons and the five magic teeth were lost. Most of the dragons flew away to a different world but some of them knew of a secret cave in Dragon World. So they went in the cave until the fire was over. Each of the dragons took some treasures with them to the cave. When you go on the program 'Dragon World' you have to find five treasures that will please the dragons. I worked with Peter and Bedros. We had a book to write in when we found treasures or worked out puzzles. I liked the program a lot. Dragon World I liked the program because it was interesting, fun and exciting, but I must admit they are very fussy dragons! We really had to use our brains, they had very good riddles, some of them were hard. I real 1 y enjoyed it. Granny's Garden We will tell you what Granny's Garden is, it is a computer program, it was fun . We had to find Esther, but the turned the King Queen's eh i ldren into different things and mummy dragon went out and we had to try to get the dragons out by finding their favourite food. This is their favourite food, lollipops, oranges, buns and chips, but got caught by the sometimes but we Claire and Anna. 27 28 French Chaque tortue a son prenom ecrit sur son dos, c'est un nom d'animal.

Suddenly a boat comes crashing through the ca lm sea, making big waves and spoi ling the peaceful afternoon. Cameron Osborne Rippling Sea The rippling sea, playing with the pebbles and shells. Pushing them up and down , round and round. All the seaweed stringing and moving about from the sea. Nicola t:vans The Man and the Sea Once there was a harbour, and there was one boat in the harbour. The man in the boat was a little o ld man. He was watching the smashing, crashing big waves. Paul Ziegenhardt The Sea Sometimes it's calm and gentle. Sometimes it's menacing and fierce, and wild around the islands beyond. Benjamin Novak The Surfing Board Happy sea was playing with a surfing board, tossing to wave to wave. Poor board. The board got cracks in it. a CRASH. The surfing board was dead. Magnus Granander The Rippling Sea The rippling sea pushing the pebbles up and clown the sa nely shore. The rippling sea playing about with the stringy, ticklish seaweed. The rippling, bumpy waves pulling the people in and out. The rippling sea pushing its way up the shore and breaking the sand castles . Eleanor Bayliss 87 88 Paradise Island 1 was on a submarine. She was bobbing up and down inside the water. That meant trouble I thought. Soon I rea lised a storm was blowing up! Then the submarine was sent flying (not really flying but just lifted by ginormous waves). l decided there was no way back so without a moment's hesitation in I leapt. The swirling current drifted me in the really rough seas. The Pacific Oceans! Oh no! I thought , as the huge, menacing rocks came nearer. Just then I heard a shout of "Abandon ship!" Charlotte Warren Shipwreck at Sea It was a dark and jct black gloomy night ... it was very cairn and you could hardly see any boats out on the sea, then it began to turn rough until it was too rough. I had to shout "All hands on deck!" Everybody came. Eve n the cook ... We were all rolling around on board the ship. The sea was so scary, the waves so fierce and gigantic. The waves were pounding at us all the time ... We had to heave the boat down into the water. It was so very , very difficult. Catherine Burr I went to sea on my ship. When it was night time there was a storm. The Captain said, "Abandon ship!" So I got my life jacket on and we lowered the lifeboat and we rowed away. It was getting light. We saw land in the distance. I started rowing and as soon as we got to the shore I fell down to sleep and when I woke up I was starving. Jessica Benshay Shipwreck at Night One night ... a ginormous wave hit the boat and then I fell out of my bed . I got my clothes on then I went upsta irs. When I was on deck I fell clown . Lots of people came on deck. Some men got me up and some got the life boat out from the hold. Then I saw menacing rocks. Then we jumped into the lifeboats and we paclcllccl very hard . l saw land . I said, "Look, there is land! " Cameron Osborne 1 was going on a ship and I was going to Korea. Lt was getting dark and it was a stormy night. The waves came crashing on the ship and I fell. I went up. The ship was sinking and I went to the lifeboat, and I put the lifeboat on the sea. I went on the Ii feboa t and I could sec an island. I went to the island. Chin- Uk Ch un Night came quickly. l could not get to sleep because the Captain was walking up and clown the deck ... At night a big wave smacked the bottom of the boat and made a big hol e .... Everyone went on deck and started working. Someone got the boats and said, "Com'n get in the boats and leave t he hole" . .... We were so tired, so we struggled on to shore and it was lovely . Nicola /:,'vans A Trip to Danger My father, mother and sister said, "Tomorrow we're going to go on a boat for two weeks and we'll sail to Paradise." I went back to sleep and the tomorrow became today . We had fun riding on the boat with all the cups and dishes floating all around the place ..... it was such a storm that 1 saw nearly everyone's eyes were closing so I looked at my watch and I realised that I didn't sleep at all. Mariko Scott B o.tf)t1/b!J Survivors ..... Suddenly a shout came from the deck. "All hands on deck!" We started to get up. Another shout , "Abandon ship!" Nicola tripped over. I went to get the first aid kit. The ship hit a rock .... . Nicola got a big cut but I bandaged it and got to the deck. A life boat wa s still on the ship. We got in. The waves crashed clown on us. We were washed ashore. Richard Andrew My name is Peter. I was on a cruiser going from France to America. One stormy night a tidal wave came with no warning. The ship got so rocky that I fell off deck. The row boat came with me. I tried to swim to the boat. I got in it. It got light and over the sea l saw land in the distance. I started rowing and I was very tired and finally l reached land . I struggled and then I flopped in the sand. James McCamey Shipwreck Horror Many, many years ago l was on a ship ca lled the "Castaway". l was on a cruiser ship. One jet black night l was in my bed. I was dreaming about how much fun it would be. Or would it? T here was a shou t "All hands on deck! All hands on deck!". There was a moment of "Come on hurry up! " l got out of bed . Next there was a shout of "Abandon ship! " I jumped on a small ship. We were very near a whirlpool. Then I was helping to row the boat. We were on land. We were so tired l went to sleep. A Lana Perkins How Things Move We are findin g out about how things move. People and animals use their legs to move around. Vehicles have wheels to move on land . Aeroplanes and birds have wings to support them in the air. Boats have hulls to support them in water. Paul ZiC'genhardt Warships A warship can have guns on it . When enem ies co me the warship starts fighting the enemi es. The Q.E. 2 carried the army to fight in the Falkland s. Now it is not a warship but it carries passengers on cruises. WilhC'lm Biorck Navigating A compass tells the Captain if he is going in the right way. A map tells the Captain where each country is. A radar ca n sense where he is heading. Satellites and computers can help to nav igate. A lana Perkins Floating and Sinking We did some experiments to find which can float and which things sink . Wooden brick. A red, ta ll , with holes i A blue pot. A fruit cup. A full fruit cup. William Wong Abandon Ship As I blundered into bed there was such a storm! Suddenly a big, gigantic wave hit the ship. The Captain shouted " All hands on deck! ". I put my lifejacket on. We went on deck then he shouted "Abandon ship". We splashed the life boats into the water. We struggled to get away from what look like big rocks. We rowed all night. It was dawn now. We reached an island and crawled out flop on the sand and fell asleep. Julian Murphy Our Assembly Today was our assembly. At the start of it , I was feeling nervous. And then Richard started it. By and by it was my turn and I said, "There was lots of speed-boats in Hong Kong. There are hydrofoils and je tfoils. The fastest boat is a hydroplane." Eleanor asked, "Did you know that QE 2's maiden voyage was 20th September, 1967 and she has been sailing for nearly 19 years?" We sang a song called, "The Big Boat Sails over the South China Sea". Cameron , Julian and William said their poems. The poems made you think of the sea. Mrs. Probert played us some music which mad e us think about the sea, and we did some movement to it. That was fun, but you had to know what group you were in and what to do, or you would get in a muddle. Nicola said for the encl, "We have enjoyed telling you about our topic work. Come and see our posters, story books and poems. We'd love to talk and talk and ta lk and talk all clay about them!" Lisa Hunt 90 Chinese Junks Long ago Chinese junks all used to have sails but now they have engines as well. Chinese junks are made of wood. The sails are made of strong canvas. Some boats go out fishing. When the men go out fishing the whole family has to go with them because the junk is their home , so when they have caught lots of fish they come home. Catherine Burr There are lots of Chinese Junks in Hong Kong and in Aberdeen harbour. There are some floating shops and floating restaurants. The children who live on these junks have to be careful not to fall in the water. Sally Wetton Container Ships The computer decides where each container must go. Weight is evenly distributed . People must be careful not to go near the dangerous con tainers in case they fall. Container ships carry cargo all around the world. When I came from Sweden some of our things came on a container ship. Magnus Granander Kellett Bay This morning Mrs. Wiltshire saw the dredger working and first thing in the morning she took us on the roof, and we saw a lot of mud . We saw a tug boat too, and we saw a lot of mud going up the escalator. Mariko Scott Today we went to the roof and we saw a dredger picking up mud. The mud was going up an escalator then back into the barge. A tug pulled away a barge so that we could see it. They are going to make new land . James McCamcy Tugs Tugs pull ships into the harbour. Tugs have very strong powerful engines and they have big pipes and tyres held on by chains . They have very thick wires to pull ships. Tugs are working boats. Barnaby Nelson Hong Kong's Harbour On 21 st. January we went to the harbour on a school trip. At th e Macau ferry terminal we saw a hydrofoil and we saw a jctfoil. Then we saw a car ferry unloading and loading, and we saw two HYFs. Then we walked to the ferry and we crossed the harbour. We went to have our lunch. I, ·# I Benjamin Novak ·l· FA'. ·.. .. '.. ~,r . i ,,. . -. ~-.. ' ... . "1 Aberdeen Harbour We went to Aberdeen harbour. We went down the road. We saw fish heads. Their eyes were red like blood and they had bits of blood around them. We went on the Jumbo ferry to the Jumbo restaurant. We looked around. I saw 9 giant fish, and we saw lots of orange trees. We went round to the back. We saw fish and lobsters! There were crabs too.

I would like to see how the cavemen did everything, and see the dinosaurs and birds. Rupert Hill I would like to go into the past to World War One to fight. I would be a pilot. People would shoot me down, then I would get up like Rambo. Then I would get into my time-ship and go back home. Simon Northway I would like to go back to the dinosaur world.

I would like to see what the future looks like . Shevaun Porter I would go to 1945 when World War 2 ended, I would be a pilot. We had a problem because we thought we were going to be defeated but luckily the Russians helped us defeat the Nazis. The Nazi bombers attacked but we shot a lot of them. They surrendered, so we won. Tony Sabine I would like to go forward into the future and see if there would be electric cars. All you have to do is press a button and it would go to where you tell it to go. There would probably be electric doors. There would definitely be skyscrapers with millions of floors so that lots of people could live in them. But remember this is in I 000th century .

Caroline Watson I would go to see dinosaurs. I would see a stegosaurus and many triceratops. I would be hiding in a cave because the tyrannosaurus rex would catch me.

At that time William the Conqueror was in England and King Harold got killed and it was called the Battle of Hastings because it was in I-lastings in England. King Harold saw the cornet in I 066. Halley saw the cornet in 1682. King Harold saw the cornet 616 years before Halley did. Alexander Tancock Edmond Halley The first t ime Edmond Halley saw what is now called Halley's Comet was in 1682. He worked out that the comet went in an e lli ptical orb it around the sun. Then he worked out that it came back every 76 years so it would come back again in 1758. A German astronomer, Johann Palitzsch spotted t he comet in 1758. Even though Edmo nd Halley was dead, he remembered what he had said , so he named it Halley's Comet. Callum Ashdown 010@ Halley 's Comet in the Past People believed tha t the star of Bethlehem was Halley's Co met because an artist named Giotto painted a picture of a shooting star whi ch is thought to be Halley 's Cornet although it was the wron g t ime. The last time Halley's Come t came, in 19 10, there was a terrible co mmotion , because Earth actually passed through the comet 's tail.

We held our breath but it was too much for us. We started to cough! Just then a shadow came upon me! When I looked up I saw a Viking! He was tall, about 3 or 4 metres tall! He was muscular and he had steel blue eyes! Then he pulled me aboard the ship and threw me into the bottom of the boat.

The carving of the eyes were like real wicked eyes and it had all lines carved above it . Then I looked at the mouth. It was open and it was all reel inside. Then this Viking came and stepped on my finger and chucked something into the fish. I quickly went to see what it was. When I looked at the things he had chucked down I found that it was food . Then I thanked the god for food for we were so hungry . Ali Goldstein A Big Feast One cold winter night there was a big feast with lots of entertainers. Then l saw a drinking contest and lots of people were drinking. Then l listened very carefully and I heard a very exciting poem.

The woman had a long blue dress on and the man had a tunic on with a long golden coat. Then I saw two Vikings sitting on a chair and they were playing a board game. The name of the game was hnefataf. The players were the fox and the geese and they used counters to play it. Vanessa van Scherpenzeel Winter's End Chris and I were sitting in the field talking about the end of winter. Suddenly we heard a strange Viking song. It was corning from town. We ran to see what it was. Finally we saw people walking down the street with burning torches and they were pulling a big Viking ship. They were singing and chanting at the same time. Then suddenly they started chanting a poem. Chris translated it for me. We will burn this great big ship. We will throw our spears on it. The mast will burn, The sails will burn, The dragon will get very mad . His nose will burn, His horns will burn, And that's the end of that. Then they burned the ship. The flames licked and danced, the sail shrivelled and theri the mast crashed down. Then, when there were only ashes left, we went.

Everything was calm. l peeped up and saw land. We were just passing through the opening of a huge wall. I felt happy because we were nearly on land, and frightened because I did not know what was happening. We were floating down a long river. There were houses everywhere. A Viking picked me up, pushed me along the road and into a long row of prisoners. Lots of people with silk and gold came and looked at us . One man came up to me and pointed.

So I began to walk towards it when suddenly a man took my right and another man took my left arm. They brought me to the village. We went down to the river and they lit their flares and went down the street singing a song. After, they went to the sports ground and began to make a big circle and after that they burnt the ship.

It all started when I was two years old. When I was fast asleep in the huts, it was about 2.00 o'clock, my mum was cooking the breakfast and my clad was hunting wild pigs. Suddenly there was a sound. It was a sound of "Oi-ya." Then I heard a licking sound. Then I noticed it was a fire . Then I looked out and I saw a big ship with a scarey face at the front. It was a viking ship. I froze with terror. The fire got thicker and thicker. I coughed and one of the Vikings heard me and dragged me out of the hut and took me aboard the ship. They pushed me in a hole under the deck. There were animals and other prisoners. Chul Uk Chun The Berserk Out jumped a man from a huge long boat. Round him he wrapped a bear skin coat. Bloodshot eyes, raging mouth, slashed jaw. Into the village he ran, setting fire to the church door. Next he attacked the men hunting boar. Then he stole all jewels and silver. "Ha ha", he cried, "You'll be my bride." And he stole a fair maiden with one single stride. "Why don't you like me?" he cried! "Fly off you stinker," she said with a laugh. "Oh maiden stay, I'll have a bath." "OK," she said, "Take me with you." Angus Rankin Attack I was sleeping in my hut, when I heard "Oi-ya oi-ya!". I tip-toed to the door, I froze and quietly went to the back of the hut. Then I heard a crackle. l was getting warmer when suddenly some hot ashes fell on me. The hut was full of smoke. I got on the floor and curled up into a ball. I started to choke, suddenly, I let out a big cough. The Viking heard me, he came back and got me. I screamed and struggled but l could not get free. He dragged me down the beach and threw me into his boat. Then he lifted up a floor board and pushed me down it. It was cold and dark in there and there were lots of animals down there too. There were sheep, horses and cows. In the dim light I could see outlines of other people. I did not know who they were. The Viking who caught me had red hair and a red beard. He had steel-blue eyes. Joanna Tschetter The Slave Market I was talking to someone when I heard seagulls screeching and cockerels crowing cock-a-doodle-doo. I peeked out, I saw land. A few minutes later I was carried out by a Viking. I realized that it was a very big town. The houses had straw roofs and the walls were sticks woven together and packed with mud. They had mud round the edge to make it waterproof. I was taken to a slave market. My hands were tied up I was put in a line with lots of other people. A man came along. His name was Olaf. He bought me for 7 rolls of silk, 5 bags of gold and 4 bags of silver. He took my hand and led me to a house. This was his house. He was married to a lady called Freyda. At last I felt I was being cared for. Abigail Osborne A Ship for the Vikings It took us slaves, freemen and Vikings weeks and weeks and weeks to build a new ship. Our ship is made out of wood, we took the wood from the old ship. Instructions l. Build the oak keel 2. Build the side planks out of pine. 3. Build the ribs, gunwhale, cross beam and the mast slot. 4. This ship is almost finished. It just needs a steering oar and some sails. '1 We could make a very strong ship because we used tar and a lot of iron rivets. This ship was water-proof because of the tar and the animal hair. The steering oar was at the back of the ship. We must put some wooden discs into the oar holes when we were not using the oar holes, or else the water would come in. The ship was about 24 metres long and 5 metres wide. There was room for 40 men to live on board. Eric Ho A Very Trembling Day There was a very loud boom boom. Villagers' screams came from their homes. ln the mist a monster came up from nowhere. The boom boom got louder. Now we could hear chants coming from the monster. Then these funny men came out of the monster. This man came near. His face was foul, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was spiky and his teeth. His face was weather beaten. His axe was red with blood, he threw it and cracked bones. More monsters came in. lt got more scary . My spine was stiff with fright. A man got out of his home. He got knocked down. I ran and hid till it was over. Mark Gibbs Cold and Alone in a Storm After we had been on this strange boat for quite a long time I fell asleep. When I finally woke up a storm was blowing up and people were gently swayed to and fro until suddenly Boom! and everyone fell sideways. Very quickly and suddenly I felt sea sick. Cows and sheep made a dreadful noise as the storm went on, the wind blew madly as I swayed. You could hear rain bouncing off the deck and waves crashing on the side. If only I was home I said, it's just got to be a dream. CRASH! as lightning struck across the sky. Soon I fell asleep again and dreamt. I was on a lovely tropical island with flowers everywhere.

Everyone I could see was ~~ f 1 \ SOLD Suddenly I woke up. I could hear seagulls screeching in the air. I stood up and put my head out. I could see an opening in the wall. On each side, I could see guard towers. I could hear oars dipping in the water. It was calm. We went up a river. All of a sudden I could not hear the oars any more. We stopped and they pushed us off the sh ip. Then they took us to a place in the town. The walls of the houses were mud, and the roofs straw. The place had people being sold to people. By the way my hands were tied. When I was sold I had my strength tested. l was sold to a lady. She took me to a tent. There I found Andrew, Mark and Chris. I said, "Andrew, Mark and Chris."

After that we fell asleep. l was playing in my hut when I heard boom, boom, boom. I ran to the window and peeped out. I was very scared. I thought, "Why should it always happen to me?" I hid in a good place but I smelt flames burning in my hut. I was very scared, my body was shaking. I started to cough and some one heard me. They came and broke through my door. He was tall and looked strong and fierce. His hair was blond and matted. His eyes were steel blue, blood thirsty and bloodshot. He picked me up by the nose, then he eased me on to his shoulder. Then he took me to his ship and flung me into what I thought was a cellar. There were lots of animals and other people. They were older than me. I looked up to see a way to escape but there wasn't one. Suddenly someone else was flung in the cellar. That person was flung on to my lap.

Yesterday a budgerigar escaped from its cage, this was Snowflake of class 14 who is now safely back in its cage. However, it took three teachers to get her back there. Mrs. Carol Goldstein, Mrs. Heather Probert (who got a peck mark in the procedure) and Mrs. Ann Cooke. It was reported that the bird flew out when the cage was being cleaned by Mrs. Carol Goldste in . The next morning a report came in from Mrs. Goldstein, who, according to the report, found a sparrow in her room. Oddly enough Mrs. Maureen Davies had reported a sparrow also. The sparrow in Mrs. Goldstein's room having collided with the glass pane in the window, fell to the ground dazed and wounded. Also Mrs. Davies's sparrow was in the same condition but eventually they recovered and fl ew out. The nex t day , today , a plastic inflatible parrot belonging to Mrs. Goldstein disappeared . More on this in the late news tonight. Goodnight. Adam Barty Hi there! My name is Snowflak e. Let me tell you how I feel in Mrs. Goldstein's room. Mrs. Go ldstei n keeps me all day in this cage. Once when Mrs. Goldste in was cleaning my cage I tried to escape from the bottom, but the children saw me so Mrs. Goldstein used a tissue box to stop me. Then one day I escaped! I was so so happy, but then I thought, oh!, who will feed me? I can't see any food around me , what shall I do? Oh gosh! Suddenly a big black thing came to me, it came again and again. Suddenly a big fl ash went on I was so scared. Oh I'd better go back to my cage and have a taste of my honey stick. Oh how do I get in, I can't find my way. , ', A J Then Mrs. Goldstein came with a white bag trying to catch me. Sudden ly a boy shouted out, "You are going to suffocate her!" but Mrs. Goldstein said , "No there is a hole in it." Well at last Mrs. Probert got me back in the cage! East West , home 's best! Mich elle Stoppa l'm Chirpy here to tell you about when I was a boy. Well first of all I was in a very dull place. It was very noisy and lots of other birds pecked me. Then a lady put me in a box and drove me away. She had a kind face but I felt scared. BUMP!!! BUMP!!! "Oh were you hurt?" " Oh, not really" . Then I was put in a cage with another bird . He looked fierce and very mean. "Ow you hurt me", I said . "What are you doing in my cage?" "I don ' t mean any harm." "Well I do, my name is Snowflake and this is my cage. I feel sorry for pecking you . Sorry." A week later I was in a room. DINGR RRRR .... "What's that?" "It's the school bell." " Why is it so loud?" "I don't know. I'm glad you're my friend now." "So am I." "Grandma grandma, please can you tell me one of your specialities?" " Sure, co me here son, I'll tell you about me when l was a youngster." "Oh goody." "Well I was in a cage on one weekend , I was trying to get out when all of a sudden in came a bird to my cage. I was a bit scared because he was new and different and another colour." "Cheer up ," l said . "Come on let's fight," "Peck, that should do it. " "Please , please," said he, "I don't mean any harm." "l don ' t believe you, Peck." "Please, l rea lly don't." "Well, show it, come out and fight." "No, l don ' t fight. " "Well, my name's Snowflake." After that we became good friends. "Wow! Night grandma." "Good night. Nice child ." A manda Butt One day a kookaburra fl ew past a eucalyptus tree and spotted a parrot upsicleclown caught in a tree. The kookaburra stopped and asked, "Why are you hanging upsicledown? " "It's a long story," said the parrot. "Oh please tell it to me," said the kookaburra. "Okay," said the parrot. "You see one clay a few decades ago [ was bought by a girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She brought me into a classroom with lots of children and another bird. At that time l was plastic and I couldn't fly so I was really jealous of that bird because it could fly. Anyway days went by and I got really jealous. One day the other bird escaped. I wished no-one could catch it, but they did . The morning after a sparrow came into the room. I asked him to take me away, and he did , but he thought I could fly and he dropped me here. I thought l would never get this· far. I mean in Australia how much further can you get, so here I am upsicleclown in this eucalyptus tree . Are you going anywhere near Hong Kong today?" L ___________________________________ l07 Sarah Rolfe Gina Shannon 108 VIKrNCS We've been learning about Vikings this year and we've been making lots of things to do with them. First we started to weave. Lt was hard at first but now I find it quite easy. Manuel finished his first, but I'm only half way through mine. I'd better get on because l haven't finished my Viking ship yet. Even though we've fini shed lcarni ng about the Vikings we haven't finished the boats yet. Next we 're going to make a papier mache Treasure Island. Then we can sai l our Viking boats around it , because we haven't had time to make the Hispaniola yet. Rory Howard ~ rv---' L have enjoyed learni ng about the Vikings at school because l come from Scandinavia. Also, r have an o lder brother who did a project on them. He let us use his information and we found it useful when we were writing o•Jr stories. Here is part of my Viking story. It was a rough ride and a dangerous one too, but suddenly I heard a voice shout, "Here's the place"! We pulled the boat onto the shore and saw the people running wildly about. We quickly ran down to the village with burning torches and drawn swords. We killed everyone and got all the jewellry. The fight was over and we went home happy . Robert Hngzell "" ,.. "" "" :ii.. 11·····11 Treasure Island We've been learn ing about Pirates and listen ing to a story called 'Treasure Island' by Robert Louis Stevenson. Someone in our class brought in a video tape and we have watched some of it co mparing the book to the video. It is not th e sa me. We think that the book is exciting but the video is even more. For instance in the book Jim meets the blind man, but in the video Jim runs into him. We think that the video is more exciting and frightening for this scene, but we're glad we read the book first. Our class thought the video was so exciting that we wrote some stories about fear. Here is part of mine: I ran into this thing head first. Lt spun me, then he started to feel my face with his boney, rough hand. I was so frightened . He bent my arm behind my back. I half turned around, I could feel his bad , horrible breath on my face. Ugh! Manuel Pascua Valentine's Day On Friday this week it is Valentine's day. There was a man ca lled St. Valentine who lived about 300 A.D. , but people don't know much about him. In Shakespeare's day people wrote loving verses to each other and in about 1800 they were printing Valentine cards. On Wed nesday morning Class 14 made some very nice Valentine cookies to give away. We made the dough for the cookies ourselves : Making messy dough Slimy, gooey , sticky dough Wonderful to eat. After that we wove some heart baskets because we had done some weaving before and we thought these would be easy. They were very fiddly but looked very nice. I won't tell you who I gave mine to. Emma Probert Championship Chess It's Black's move now. He's moving his king's pawn as I did . I must concentrate, I hope the people in the team win too. Oh boy it's a draw , L'm proud of myself. Yes, I'm going to play again; I'm going to win ...... L have to win! Yes, I've won, but it was a good game and I enjoy playing whether I win or lose. We arc very lucky because our school is part of the Chess League. Kennedy Road School came over to Kellett and we beat them 2½- 1 ½. We also won some frie ndly games. l like chess a lot , but before a game I get butterflies in my tummy. Grant Staniord l have played chess for three and a half years. In Kelle tt one of the most popular clubs is chess, but only really with boys. In our class all the boys play chess and all of them except one go to chess club. In chess club not many girls play but some girls in class 14 play when they haven ' t got another club on that day. In class 14 at the moment we have a Lewis chess set which Mrs. Goldstein brought in. She made this out of rubber moulds and it is very fragile. Sometimes at free time on Fridays and other times we are allowed to play with it. Long ago some people found this sort of unusual chess set on the Isle of Lewis, off Scotland . Some people say it was made by the Vikings. Jonathan Neal ",.-.,Ii ••t::::~· 11 '' ·1r•··· ••t::::!'· 11· ····11 11::::::11 ··II::;: ·1r···· ••t:'c:!'· .,,::::\. JI..

A Young Angel's Story Hello I'm an angel made by Lynsy Benshay class 14 and I'm going to tell you about one of the worst ex peri~nces in my life. Of course my life hasn t been very long because I'm only abou t 2 days old, but I'll tell you anyway . You see it all started when I was put on top of this horrible monster's cage, which class 14 call Snowflake. Suddenly she flew to the top of her cage and nibbled me. "Ouch that hurts Snowflake now leave off," I said . Then an awful thing happened that awfu l bird got out of her cage ~hile Mrs. Goldstein was cleaning it. The first thing she must have thought is I'm going to teach those silly angels a lesson. Of course we aren't silly but she flew down very fast and dive bombed me off. I flew up and perched on the cage again. . "Oh no! Here she comes again," I said to fnends. "She's going to the right," and "Duck," I said, but we weren't in time. This time she did not only dive bomb me off but the whole row of angels was knocked off. At last they got that horrible bird back and we could be left in PEACE. Ruth Green by Rebecca Hold away .

You don't have to use rhymes to write poetry, but I like to use them in my poems. We didn't use many rhymes in our Haiku poems because there weren't many syllables, but I used a lot of rhymes in my limerick. There once was a girl called Mabel, Who couldn't learn her 2 x table, The reason you see Was she can't count past three At tables she wasn't that able. Monisa Nandi Homophones Homophones am words that sound the same but have different spellings. Class 14 did a lot of work on them because they got some words mixed up in stories. We did some interesting sentences with two words that sound the same. Then we hung them up in the room so that people can look at them when they aren't sure which word to use. ~ . o. Listen to the (ion roar when he doesn't get his raw meat. Can you think of some more? Simon Mur/Jhy Similes We have been learning about similes. We got some homework where we had to write a simile about the captain in 'Treasure Island.' The Oxford Intermediate Dictionary says that a simile is saying that one thing is like another. You can use these words: .... .... as ........ as ....... . ............ like ....... .... . Here are 3 of my similes: The captain is as dirty as a rat. She is as colourful as a rainbow.

Kate Poulsson Haiku Haiku is a sort of Japanese poetry. Each Haiku poem contains only 17 syllabes put down in this way . 5 Syllables 7 Syllables 5 Syllables Really they are quite difficult to do. You have to decide what the idea of your poem is and only use the necessary words, not words that aren't important to the meaning of the poem.

Now there are lots of limerick books like 'Limerick Delight' and 'The First Book of Limericks.' Our class also enjoyed making up Limericks. I find it easy to make up Limericks. I just think of a subject and it just comes to me. I made up one about Snowflake. Cheeky Snowflake the very silly pet One day escaped and flew like a jet.

Of Camels ...... Coconuts ...... Cococnutcams And Cococamulents. Introducing The Colossal, Cantankerous Camel On February 19th we went on a hunt to find Hong Kong's one and only camel. We found her near Fanling where she is cared for by the Gurkha regiment at the Casino Lines. She was born in the Gobi Desert in China and was owned by a Japanese travelling circus who brought her to Hong Kong in 1983. She was kept in a very small dirty cage and was treated so badly that the RSPCA rescued her and the Gurkhas offered to take her as a pet. They called her Kumli , which means "Lumpy" in Nepalese. When we first saw her we didn't expect her to be so small, she was only two metres tall. She was very smelly and rather grumpy. Suddenly we heard a revolting, spluttering sound and we saw her spit undigested cud all over her handler; ·Ne were sorry for him, but rather pleased to actually see a camel spit. She was very sick three months ago and her humps are still very floppy. It was lovely to see a real camel after we had had such fun learning about them. A Camelogue of Facts.

Patrick Chase The horse with the hump One day a camel looked at himself in a well. He decided that he needed a changso he went to a wise man and asked him if he kn ew anyone who could turn him into something else. " l f you don't 1'11 eat yo u up," said the camel. "I know of a person who lives in a valley in the desert ten kilometres north of the well", the wise man replied . He did not want to be a camel's lunch. It took him two days to reach the bottom of the valley, event ually he found the magician . "Please turn me into a horse, right now" said the impatient camel. Th; magician muttered some magic words and, Bang! Pow! Wham! the camel turned into a horse. " l don't like being a horse, turn me back!" but it was too late, the magician was gone. So if you ever meet an irritable horse that has got the hump, beware - it could be the camel! Dalan N ugent A Camel in Assembly! On Thursday February 6th our class did an assemb ly about the camel. It started with Howard and Nicky as Mother Nature and her assistant. They had just finished making the animals and they fo und a pile of left over pieces. They stuck all the pieces together and made a camel. Ja cob and I were the camel we had a big baggy cloth on us, brightly coloured knee pads and huge slippers on our feet. When the class read out their camel facts Ja cob and l performed the actions. It was fun and everyone laughed a lot. The bes t part was when Nigel told the school about a B~douin wedding feast, Dalan chased after us with a knife and fork in his hands. Me I am a fi erce, irritable, thirsty, hungry camel, and l'm fed up. l'm tired of having a sore back from the heavy loads I carry. I'm tired of being used as a slave and t ransport.

Jacob Hopkin-Fisher The Amazing, The Incredible Coconut Our Coconut Around October Mrs. Tyrrell pur chased a coconut which was still in its husk . At that time the shoot was 2cm Jong and Mrs. Tyrrell said that we should watch it and see how fast it would grow. We waited a week and checked again. The shoot had grown three and a half cm. The week after that the shoot was seven cm. Five weeks later the shoot was 37 cm tall. We are going to plant it in the new garden and in about 15 years time Kellett children will be able to harvest fresh coconuts. Nigel Wetten Coconut Cooking First of all we went to the cooking room with Mrs. Lyons. Clare and Emma got out the mixing bowl and scales. They put in the coconut and lard and sugar and I mixed up the egg. Then we got a bowl of water, we put the egg cup into the water to make it wet. We pressed the mixture into the cup then dropped the shape onto the tray. We baked our pyramids at l 50°C for about fifteen minutes. They were very good. Amanda Budden Coconut Facts A coconut has many uses. You can eat the coconut flesh which tastes delicious. Drink the milk , and even turn it into alcohol. The shells can be used as cups or scoops, or even bikini tops! The leaves make excellent hats or thatch or skirts. The trunk can be used to build a house, or a boat or a fence or furniture. ... The coconut is a very useful plant. Emma Manville The Coconut Assembly The coconut has a husk on the outside to protect it when it falls off the tree; it can also float in case it falls into the sea. It can float for miles and miles across the sea until it gets washed up on the shore somewhere. A shoot will grow and it will crack open the shell and the roots will go down into the sand. We did an assembly about "The Coconut". I was the coconut. I fell into the sea and floated on a lilo with my sun hat and coconut oil sun lotion. When I saw an island I held my nose and jumped off and floated to shore. We sang songs, and Clare, Emma and Tabitha did a fashion show of coconut creations. Ophelia Cheng Now For The Bird World's Answer To The Coconut And Camel ...... Or Is It? The Coco nu team The Coconutcam bird is very rare. It only comes to Hong Kong in May. It is not rare because men shoot it, it is rare because it only has one baby bird in a life time. There are only fifty Coconutcam birds left. When they travel they travel in groups of three, and if they have young they they tuck their young in between their two busky humps. The female Coconut cam is called a Dromadom and the male is called a Bactridom. The young are called little Cocos. The Collective noun for the Coconutcam is a Nutkin. The Coconutcams have a very sharp beak for cracking open the coconuts that they eat. After eating the coconut , the mother coconutcam will make a nest with the coconut shell. When the baby is born it is round about 10cm long, the egg is 20cm. The Coco nu teams live for 15 years. Now to get on to what this strange bird looks like . The Dromadom birds have two husky humps. The babies huddle down in the husk when it is cold. Their legs are short and lead on to a pair of amazing feet. The feet of the Coconutcam are small and can dig fifty metres in a minute. They do this to hide their young if they are going hunting. They ·also have claws on their feet, they are very sharp and are used for hunting mice and rats. The male uses his claws as a sign of love to the female , he prances around make believing he is fighting. The coconut cams are mainly herbivores but sometimes they turn omniverous and swipe the odd fish or mouse. The eyes are large and round and can see a fish swimming 100 metres below sealevel. Morag Ashdown-- The Cocomel Bird A Cocomel Bird is a very rare bird . It lives on Pacific Islands. For its food it eats coconuts. It has a very sharp beak to open the shell of the coconut. The Cocomel Bird has padded feet so that it can walk on hot sand. [t washes itself on the edge of the sea. [t has a very wide body, and is fluffy . The cocomel can float on water and it has some very warm brown eyes and a very long neck. Siobhan Way Cococamu Jen ts ! This amazing creature 1s called a Cocoamulent: lt lives off coconuts. When the climate gets colder he flies east to Algeria from Hawaii. He has one stop .in Mexico, one stop in Barbados and then to Algeria. He stays in The Cokeani Hotel in Mexico, and in Barbados he stays in The Hotel Cayai, which is an extremely posh place. In May he comes to pay a visit in Hong Kong. He stays around Telegraph Bay. In Algeria he feeds on camel fur. At nightime in Algeria a family will pil e on top of each other in-between the camels bumps. (They only nestle in Bactrians.) The mother can only have six babies in a lifet ime and only two at the same time. When the mother and father mate, they stay together for ever and when the babies are born they are shapeless. The father licks th em into shape. The mothers are exce llent cooks. The babies LOVE coconut cookies! They are almost opposite to camels in their washing habits as they are very clean, except for their tails which STINK! Clare Forsyth 115 116 Primary Class 16 - Mrs. M.

It lived in the deep sea. I found the shell On the beach , Under the sand. Its other part Is still in the sea. Inside the shell, It looks like a rainbow. The sea washed the shell On to the sand. The creature inside has Died. Bedros Karakashian SHELLS The Cowrie The shell fee ls smooth, It has teeth-like parts Underneath. How did the shell get it's Patterns? Nobody knows. Listen! Put the shell to your ear. Hear the sea And the splashing waves Pulling shells and rocks Into the sea. How did the creature die? Only the creature itself Knows. I wonder how it lived At the bottom of the sea. Now there is nothing left Except its shell Buried in the seabed. Ricardo Pascua The Whelk Shell The Whelk Shell's opening is on the right hand side which is quite common. lt is rare to find one on the left hand side. The front of the shell is like an oil drill but the end is not very sharp. Inside it is peach colour with brown spots and dirt. It is found in deep waters 1 think. It is smooth on the inside and rough on the out. On the left hand side it is jagged like ugly monster teeth. Just behind the spiral there are eight bumps. 1 think they are to keep enemy fish away . The Nautilus A striped shell Patrick Ramsey With mother-of-pearl inside. The creature inside Made many chambers. Ceature! Creature! Are you still there? What was it like down In the depths of the sea? Did you have adventures? Or find treasures? You felt warm and safe Inside your shell. But now it is Empty . You have gone. But your shell remains And it will for thousands And thousands of years. Vanessa Williams The Nautilus The shell is smooth and looks like a french horn . It is called a Chambered Nautilus and it can grow up to 20 cm wide. It has got brown marks on it. The shell I've got is I 5 cm wide. When 1 put the shell to my earl can hear the sea. The nautilus holds onto crabs and fishes with its tentacles and eats them. It lives in the high seas rather than on the shore. When I look inside I can see where the shiny bit ends. The shiny part is covered by the mantle. Ben Tyrrell Whelk The shell inside has a creamy texture. It looks like an ice-cream cone. It's height is 36 cm and the width is 12 cm. The shell has a crack from one point to the bottom. On the inside of the shell the colour is light pink and orange. On the outside of the shell, the colour is a very light beige. The shell has a circle pattern with straight lines. The outside of the shell feels ripply like water, only hard. The shell is thick. The light coloured whelks eat barnacles and the dark ones eat mussels. The striped ones eat both. Most whelk shells have their opening on the right hand side but some are on the left which is very rare. l can hear the sea in the shell when I put it to my ear. Sally Novak 117 118 Lantau Island Lantau is a large island. Lt is twice the size of Hong Kong Island . It has an area of 140 square kilometres. It has many high peaks. The most famous one is Lantau Peak which is 932 metres high. Next to Lantau Peak is Sunset Peak which is 868 metres high. Near Lantau there is a small island called Peng Chau. Most people who live on Peng chau are fishermen. Lan tau is peaceful because there aren't many people living there. This is why a lot of people have holiday homes on lantau. There are many nice beaches, beautiful walks and no pollution. On Lantau there are lots of temples. The most famous is the Po Lin Monastery . It is very beautiful. Po Lin means "Precious Lotus". There is a Trappist Monastery on Lantau. In Trappist monasteries the monks aren't allowed to speak at all. ln Cantonese, Lantau means "Broken Head". Jackie Landells The Long Afternoon We sat down on a beach to eat our lunch. Then we saw some wasps. They attacked us, so we moved but Edward got stung. We had to get the First Adi Kit to help him. Mrs. Davies, Sissy and Joanne stayed and ate their lunch. I left my water container behind, but Joanne brought it to me . We went to the other end of the beach, and ate our lunch. Then we played football and the girls went swimming. After that we went swimming, too. When we came out of the water, we played rounders. The girls and ladies were on one team with David and Ravi and the boys and Mr. Manville were on the other team. It was a draw. Gavin Rees LANTAU Po Lin Monastery Sometimes Lantau is called "The Island of Prayer" as there are 135 Buddhist temples. The Po Lin Monastery is built 800 metres above sea level. If you go inside the main temple you can see pictures of lotus flowers on the floor. The ceiling is decorated with dragons and Chinese ladies. The main temple is two storeys high. Inside the main temple there are wooden statues of Buddhas. The statues are covered with gold leaf. Also in the main temple there is a big brass bell. It is called the "Promise Bell" . There is also a ceremonial drum. The bell and the drum are never sounded. There is a wooden statue of the Laughing Buddha in the sub temple. I have heard that if you rub the Buddha's tummy he brings you good luck . Joss sticks were burning on the stairs in front of the main temple. I saw the lotus emblem 462 times while we were at the monastery . The lotus flower is the symbol of the Buddhist faith. Joanne Adams The Hostel The hostel was a large, white building. Outside there was a basketball pitch and an archery court. There was also a badminton court . In the dormitories were about eight bunkbeds. There wqs a separate shower room. The showers were lovely. The hostel is not far from the ferry pier. It is up the hill from it. The colours of the hostel were blue, white and grey. I thought the hostel was a good place.

Jackie slept in the top of my bunkbed and I slept under neath. The camp was in Cheung Sha. In the camp there was a large room which had a stage at one end. We used it for our plays. Outside was a concrete area to play on. There were also tennis courts and a climbing frame. The hostel is in front of Sunset Peak. The logo of the hostel is a triangle with a rectangle goi ng through it. The le tters YMCA are written in the triangle . I enjoyed camp very much. Edwina Guy CAMP An.

Patrick Ramsey l 19 120 The Blue Egg A bright blue egg With grey patterns Lies in an underground hole In marshy land. Nice and warm, Guarded by its mother. There are no sounds at all Except ......... . Click, Click, Click, Click. The egg is about to batch. Rocking and wobbling Slowly at first Then very violently. Gradually cracking open, Splitting the shell apart. Slowly squirming out And lashing around. Wriggling all over. It's out at last. Moving very slowly - Slimy, slippery Dark-brown patterned snake. Jaime Broadhurst EGGS The Spotted Egg One winter day High up in a tree Was a nest With one egg inside it. The egg had brown spots. After a while the egg Started jerking And shaking. Then came the noise Of the egg cracking. A little beak came out Then the head And slowly, slowly Came the body. It was a bird. It tried to stand up But it could not. So it waited for its mother To come back. Sissy Strobl Looking at an Egg The hen's egg is an ovoid shape. If you push it, thygg moves in a curve. The egg is smooth. At one end it has some bumps on it. The shell has some spots on it. The egg is cool. The shell shines a little bit. It cost 70 cents. It weighs 50 g. I measured the length of the egg. When I shake the egg I can hear the yolk moving inside. If I press the shell on its sides, it does not crack. I tried to make the egg stand up but it fell down. The egg shines like silver. When the egg was cracked open, the inside came out quite quickly. There were two layers of white. The yolk felt springy. On the inside of the shell I could see a layer of skin. Richard Alclcroft The Night A white and brown egg Lying a nest High up in a tree Started to bounce up and down. CRACK! A split went through the middle Of the egg. Tip tap Tippity tap. Tip tap Tippity tap. A beak came through the egg shell And then the head. A bird came out. l t started to shake And cheep. The bird took one step And fell down. It looked around And climbed back up again. It walked some more. This time it was successful. It cheeped once again, Walked back to the nest And Fell asleep.

There was a faint sound Crackle, crackle, tap, tap. At last it went Crack, Crack, CRACK. POP! A bird's head came out. It looked around And stared. It stayed there for a long time. Then it tried to walk But it fell down. Then its mother came And fed the baby bird. Solene Arcus It's a. Sporting Letter From Earth Hello Queen Zonk, This is your s,:in Tokie greeting you from earth.I now believe in what y,:,1_1 told me about these humans being the rarest creatures in the galaxy. The thing that amazes me most about them is the funny things they play. Two lunas ago I watched them play a thing called hurling, or something like that. I was looking at them from my galaxy _ship. First of all I saw lots of humans on the funny black spaces called roads. Usually big coloured creatures g,:, on these. The humans take very good care of them. They feed them at spe cial places on the roads, but these kind of days are different. The humans use their big long things at the bottom of thei r body. I saw one human getting a flappy bit of cloth on a stick with a little piece of paper. Then they all went through a little wheel and gave a human more paper. After their ritual dance I studied the paper. It is covered with green designs and has a magic picture in it. The humans have a lot of magic things like this which you will hear about later. Then they go int,:i things called stands. The humans don't stand in these, they sit in them. Just as I was studying these stands a very special breed of humans came out. They had red skin on them and came on to the, what they call, pitch. These pitches are made up of small green creatures. These poor things are always trampled, Sometimes they are taken right out of the t,rown place they live in. The special breed of humans have a kind of footwear with spikes on the bottom for killing the green things. These humans are very much appreciated by the people in the stand, for when they come out they all cheer. Two kinds of humans with funny skin come onto the pitch. Both get cheers from the crowd, Then a big black man comes out, nobody cheers for him though. The funny breed of humans carry a brown thing which is a weapon against a little white creature, rather like a Zoombacoombas egg. Li:Ee in the Si :x:e s - I have captured one of these things for the zoo. I was unable to get a weapon because it is to dangerous. The black man I was telling you about is very magical. He has a silver object around his neck and when it makes a noise everything stops. He throws the white thing to the humans and they hit it to a man in a sort of cage. It gets very confusing here because he hits it back t,:, them. This goes on for :::O minutes, Humans think this is amusing, but it is a bit too gruesome for my liking. Bye for now, Tokie. Ciaran Kelly Rugby On a wet and rainy day England played New Zealand. The pitch is slo·;hy and ·;limy And full of mud puddles. The two teams came on to the pitch. The crowd cheers like mad, The whistle goes. Hubard passes to Dean. Dean passes to McKrell. Then McKrell slips And breaks his leg And is taken off the pitch, The whistle goes again, Hubard passes to Mott, Mott passe·; to Taylor And Taylor scores a try.

The ne:-:t day I heard that another 3 year old was dead, his head had been thrown into the crocodile pit, I was amazed about this news. The rest of his body was eaten by the lion. Later on I walked and was going to watch out for that lion. I drank the last preciou;; water and walked on. I heard a loud roar, the lion was injured. This time I had brought the biggest gun I had got. I pulled the trigger and the lion fell on to the floo)r. Was it dead or not'? I really wondered, It was dead. I had helped the village. I announced the news and from that day no one disturbed anyone. Joann Soo The Ice Skater I was gliding along the cold frozen ice. I could feel myself wobble and then fall.

I was at the line when I was tripped over but the t,all was still in the palm of my hands and it touched down just over the line, Then everybody came onto the pitct and gave a round of applause for Stanley, then we went off to see when the ne:-:t game would be on, Nicolas Mott Ice Skating I lilce ice skating, Skating sport is very scary I lilce movement·; I lilce the wa.y wr:: glide a.long, The ice is cold The ice is freezing, Suzy skates s,:, very nicely, Sometimes she slips, Sometimes she slides, When I fall, When I jump, I scrape along the ice, And bump1 Stephen skates but slowly, Slowly, And when he fails, He holds the rails, To keep up, And la. ter hop, I feel the a.ir pushing in front, As I balance and slide, Along the prickly ice, Maria Karak.:1.shian Football Pele is running at full speed just about to score a goal and stops and says "I wonder who invented football? 11 Meanwhile the other team is b1_1rning up the field and they score a. goal, 11 Maybe I'm too old!" says Pele, Mark C'.hapman The Jungle Adventure Suddenly without a warning the plane started to whirr, jolting and bumping, Then all was silent, just for a second we hovered motionless above the dense green thicket, before plum a ting helplessly downwards, "Keep calm, kee~• calm1" yelled the pilot, but how could we? At this moment we were hurtling uncontrolably to our certain deaths, Still decending my heart leapt, this would be the end 1 As the jungle loomed in front of us, I shall never forget that dreadful moment for as long as I live, That horrible feeling of uncertainty. The nose tipped and I shut my eyes as tight as I could, I started fo tremble as the plane crashed, jolted to the ground, I don't know how long I lay unconscious but the next thing I knew was a wet mouth dragging me through to:, a clearing. When I dared to open my eyes, to my horror I saw it was a lion' The shock was just too much for me and as I was calming myself I heard a great boom. I suddenly sat upright. The plane, my o:,nly means of transport had just blown up! I was trapped in this great wide jungle, How could I ever escape? The big lion lovingly licked my face. I had found a friend, That night as I lay looking up to the sky watching the stars twinkling by, I wondered where I was and would I ever go home, In the morning when I awoke sunlight was streaming through the gaps in the leafy foliage, The new day gave me more hope of survival and I set out t,oldly, my lion by my side, through the grassy jungle .......... . 129 130 Crazy Golf When my friend went to earth she saw a. funny game, "What is a. ga.me 9 " "A game is a thing you play." "Oh!" Defeat It was the rugby match of the year. The under nines fastest player was st,)rming down the pitch. Japanese Jet missed, Moto did as well, It was up to me to stop him. I was getting ready to tackle. My muscles fle:-:ed watching him dodge the others, weaving his way through ,:,ur defence, He was getting closer. I lined up for the tackle. I dived! He changed direction too late for me to d,) anything about it. All I got was a chin full of stud' The pain was awful, especially when he scored and the whistle went for the end ,:,f the game, William Prot,ert Horse Riding What I Like a.bout horse riding ls the feeling of riding bare back, On a pony called 'Parsley' Who is nice, gentle and soft, He is always the first in the line. Everyone is proud of him, When he jumps, His mane flies in the air And I feel as if I am flying on a cloud. I feel as if I a.m flying through the air. We got first prize for in a jumping competition, Tanya. Reid "You have a metal club and there is a white thing with holes, Those humans try to kill it, but the thing runs a.way to a round area with short grass, It's called a green. Then the human comes a.gain and just p1-1shes it to a big hole," "Oh my goodness'" "Oh yes, those humans are crazy." Catrin Engberg Do I Like P. E.? Do I like P. E.? l'·-lo 1 Do I like getting changed ? No' What do I like in P.E.? l'·-fothing or something? I hate playing team games, I'm never captain, I hate playing hockey, I never hit the ball, But what do I like then ~· I hate playing cricket, For I'm always caught out, I hate playing bulldogs, For I'm always caught and IT, But one more guess there must be, For I'm always late for P. E, Do I hate anything else? I hate getting changed, For there are boys all around me, I hate putting shoes on, It takes me hours and hours But is there something I like? Yes, I like Tag the ball, I like playing Rounders, I like playing on the apparatus, I like sliding on the sliding slide, Oh yes I do like some things, Audrey Clerc-Renaud Sabotage I was ski jumping. As I put on my skis I noticed something black sticking out from each one, I ti:,ok my skis and put them ,:,n, I walked over to the starting p,:,int and got ready to go down but something was wrong, My skis seemed very heavy, Suddenly I started to fall, I quickly took my balance again and jumped. As I landed my foot slipped and I fell backwards and hit my head, I became unconscious, They quickly took me to the h,:,spital, When I woke up, Bill, my coach, was sitting next to my bed. He told me what had happened, He said tha. t after they had brought me to the hospital, they had checked my skis and found a small radio controlled device on each ski and that is what made me fall, He then continued that the pers,:,n who did it had been caught and was now in prison, "That's good," I said. Then I went back to sleep feeling much better, Chantal Te,:,dorovich Football I was running up The field, Thinking I was the best And our team Would win with me on it, Someone got the ball Off me and shot' It went in that was a fluke, I can do better than that, Besides it's only the first half, I got the b.:1.ll, I ·;;hot it At the goal It only just Missed anyway It was just a warm up, (It's only the first half) Ahh, half time at last' we are losing 1-21 But 1'11 make up for it In the next half, They've started, Oh no, he's Scored a goal' BEEP, the end that's not fair_ I hardly got the ball, Laura Hobkinson 131 132 The Miss Tapping the ball gently with my club I looked at the hole, where my ball was meant to fall. I slowly and carefully swung my club and hit the ball. The ball went rolling fast, it was getting nearer to its goal. One metre left. The ball was about to fall, when, suddenly .... it went zooming past and was lost, What disappointment. I slowly lifted my head to the sky, shouted, and fell to the ground. Sebastien Clerc Renaud The Tennis Racket I am a highly st rung tennis racket. Every time I hit my best friend the ball, I scream, The ball just sighs, I feel very sorry for him. Being hit against each racket so hard. When I hit him it doesn't hurt me but I scream in pain for him, After each game we get put in the. cupboard for the next day of ag,:,ny. Susan Levett Into Afric a "This is your stop, sir.'' Slowly I came to my senses and climbed out of my seat, As I got my stuff down from the r ack overhead a small boy ran ,:,nto the bus. His clothes were torn and he li:11::-ked very dirty. He had a small penknife in his hand. I slowly walked off. The boy seemed to be drawing me into the jungle. He was digging his knife in my t,ack as though he were afraid. I had no idea where I was going. I heard a noise echoing through the jungle,then there was silence. As we walked on I heard the noise again. It sounded like music, The music seemed to be getting l1: 1uder. The boy led me into a a clearing. Suddenly he shouted some word. There were people running about and singing and ea ting, as if there were a celebration. As the plane jumped -:t.round on the runway I looked out of the window into the dark. I was a game hunter on a mission to kill' As the plane slowed down, the doors opened. I stood up and got my suitcases from the overhead locker, Then I got my rifle down. I had trout,le getting my rifle through customs but it had made it. As I walked off the plane a strong wind blew into my face. I took my first look at Africa.. Africa was a lovely place but the heat was incredible. I loosened my tie and walked down the -;tair·;, A bus came to mee t us, it was driven by a small sinister man. I got on the bus and sat down on a seat, The bus was a dirty vehicle but it was clean in places. As we bumped around in it, I looked ,:,ut of the window and noticed s,:,me Africans running after us. Then the driver turned off the road and onto a dusty path. We had been driving for two hours and the track seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. So I decided to doze off. The ne:-:t thing I knew was that I was being woken up,
