Once in 1911 there was Puyi who was a strong emperor and he had a powerful guard in China. The head guard was Yang and every morning he checked that Puyi was sleeping peacefully in his big, wooden bed. One day Yang called “Emperor Puyi! Emperor Puyi! Our enemy is attacking and he has broken our biggest walls”. Soon the air was thick with arrows as the attacking soldiers rushed into the Imperial Castle and poor Yang found himself fighting for the life of his emperor but Yang didn’t like his job, he wanted to be emperor. Yang lost the battle and the enemy killed Puyi but Yang also won because he took the place of the emperor and he was sad that Puyi died but now he had a very, very important job to do and that job was to rule the kingdom.

One day a little bear named Mia didn’t know what to do in winter so she went to her mum and said “Mummy what do we do in winter?” Mia was a little brown bear with a beautiful flower behind her ear and Mia’s mum was a big nice pretty bear who loved to make blue berry pie for herself and Mia to eat. The day after Mia asked her mum what they do in winter, Mia said “Where are the other bears going?” and her mum said “They are going to hibernate in a big cave and we are going too.” Then Mia said “We need to go now mum please” and her mum said “OK then let’s go to our cave where your dad is.” One day a little bear went to her cave with her mum and dad and hibernated in a big dark cave.

One day a little girl was on her computer in her bedroom and then a ROAR was coming from the cave under her house. She went to the cave under her bedroom and she saw some flames. Putting one foot and another foot forward, she saw a dragon that was all red and orange. The girl became friends with the dragon and gave him a lollipop and the dragon gave her a star. That day the little girl went to her bed room with her nice pretty star.

Once there was a land that was so green even the soil was green. On that land there were animals of all sorts, even animals that weren’t even in your wildest dreams and-you guessed it – they were green. One day all the green started to disappear and the animals were shocked when they looked at everything and it was grey. They remembered it was night and at night it gets really cold so all the grey animals hurried into their grey beds. The next day everything was back to its normal green.

Long ago when dragons ruled the world, a big blue egg cracked open and Fredrich emerged in a cave. He was a big, black dragon with red eyes and razer-sharp fangs. The first thing he did was cause mayhem on the town people because it was in his dragon blood to do such a thing. Next he ate 12 people, 4 sheep and one rabbit. Long ago when dragons ruled, a young dragon called Fredrich fell asleep.

In a tiny house far away from any town there lived a poor woman who had no money. Living in a little cottage, she was always hungry for the food that came from the far away towns. One day there was a letter outside on the little cottage’s first step that said “You can become rich if you pass the big maze at Big Black Guard Castle. Will you enter?” The lady smiled. Big Black Guard Castle was the closest castle to her but still far away and so she started to walk. She always knew something amazing would happen some day and hopefully that day was today.

The goat, the pig and the wild dog escaped from the barn at the same time and they went to hide behind the little apple tree that was near the farmer’s house. The dog was named Emma and she was friends with the goat named Lolly and her friend named Penny the pig. After the man left to look for them, they ran quickly to the scary forest because the farmer would be scared to go in. They slept there for two weeks and picked apples for food. The goat, the pig and the wild dog went back to their home in the nice warm barn.

Today, at our school, it was sports day and we had a two hundred metre run and a long jump. When it was a break a big black dog wandered in. First thing the dog did was chase a group of kids around. The dog also sat down with a group of girls and started to bark. Eventually the dog was taken away. At our school the fastest animal was the big black dog.

As the village woke to the sound of a rundown crow the sun started its slow journey across the sky. A fire started in the grimy blacksmith’s shop as a poor but honest man began his dawn to dust effort. He passed a dirt encrusted window and in the corner of his eye observed the familiar castle that loomed over the poor village and was surrounded by a ten metre stone wall. An old widow draped in a thread bear sack begged the blacksmith to fix her rusty hole-ridden cauldron. “I can’t pay you.” she said, but the blacksmith followed quickly by saying “Pay me when you can.” As she hobbled away the blacksmith sighed and thought to himself that the only reason the village could not pay for his services was because of the dreadful king’s exorbitant taxes.

One day a pretty koala climbed out of her eucalyptus tree, chewed some leaves and had a baby koala. She named her baby Alexandra and together they went on a walk to visit their friend Jemima the possum and found her in the tree house having tea. Alexandra and her mum were about to go home but the house was on fire and so they waited. Three minutes later Jemima found a new house near a lovely waterfall, squeezed inside and they all had leaves for lunch. One day Jemima and Alexandra and her mum played.
