One morning when all the people had gone to work and school, the fruit people popped out to play. Little Apple and Little Pear, who everyone thought were not smart, looked and saw a glass they knew not to touch, but they did. They dropped it and they cried, “How can we fix this glass?” The Apple and Pear glued it together and the other fruit people said “Sorry, we said you were dumb” and “Thank you for fixing it.” When the people came home they slept all night.

The Exploring Pirate – by Andy (aged 6)
In the middle of the ocean there was a pirate named Red Beard. He was alone. It was a stormy night when lightning struck and it hit the boat which sunk. Red Beard had a red beard and was feeling unsafe. He thought to himself “I should go home.” Because of the storm, his boat sank so he tried to swim. The tide was too rough for the pirate to swim.

The Burger Pirate – by Jack (aged 8)
On a dark, stormy night, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a pirate ship bobbed up and down. The ship’s captain’s name was Burger Beard. He was a chef and he knew that he made the best burgers in the world. On really long trips he usually ran out of food so he ate the food from his beard. On that stormy night, he had a good feast form his beard.

The Interview – By Ella (aged 9)
The young girl lived in a cottage and today she was thinking how to impress the managers who looked completely friendly but were doing something rude with their hands which they placed over their ears as she tried to persuade them of her perfection. Jenny was cross and she stamped her feet and shouted “I have had enough of this!”. The skinny man with thick eyebrows was smiling, the chubby male with attitude was thrilled and the woman with pointy heels said “You’re in!”. They all stood up and yelled “Welcome to Yelling school!”

Hard Work Pays Off
WHILE OTHERS ARE AT PLAY
School is well and truly under way and while some students had trouble adjusting to the new year a small group of them took it in their stride with new confidence.
This group of students was invited to attend a two week intensive tuition catch-up session during the Christmas break. Initially they were not too happy about attending, after all it was the holidays, but we thought they would benefit from the intensive program designed to better prepare them for the new year.
Each of the students needed to move closer to being aligned to the school curriculum as they were moving into secondary education. As it turned out most of them covered the equivalent of one year of school maths during those two weeks and all were happy to be at school understanding the maths they are being taught this year.
Every student who attended deserves a huge pat on the back for their efforts. It never ceases to amaze me what a child will achieve when given the correct environment and opportunity.

Students’ Stories – The Missing Magic
I didn’t not know my dad could do magic until he made chickens appear and he could make stick insects talk. One day his magic was gone. He told everybody but no one believed him. Luckily my stick insect could still talk. But then he remembered that he left his magic in a muddy puddle. The next day he got his magic back.

The Nice Teacher at the Fete – Jemima (aged 8)
When the last sounds of the Children’s laughter for the good chapel service faded away, Miss Lenet cleaned up her classroom for the toy shop at the fete. She was the kindest teacher in the school and every kid liked her. That night a robber stole all the toys in the class room. The next morning she didn’t know what to do. The older kids that were in her class a long time ago heard about it and they made toys which they took to their old teacher for the shop. At the fete the kids laughed all day.

Childrens’ Stories – The Jewels of Mermaid City – Sarah (aged 9)
In the morning when it was very cold, Sunday-Sarah, the mermaid, was swimming happily in the blue water deep under the sea. She had just remembered her evil sister was coming with an army of strong mermaids to take the very powerful jewel from her. Sunday-Sarah had a plan to shut down Mermaid City to prevent Wilhema-Beth and her group of fighting mermaids from attacking. Sunday-Sarah pressed the lock down bell so the sharks swam up to the very top where the army gathered. As Wilhema-Beth went down to get the jewel, she saw sharks, her worst fear. She led the army away from Mermaid City.

Children’s Stories – The Wizard of Othello – Geoffrey (aged 10)
If there was one thing that Othello Flamel loved, it was his house of mysteries that he inherited from Clocal Flamel, his grandfather. Othello Flamel was a twenty-two- year-old alchemist who loved exploring his house of mysteries and learning all kinds of spells and enchantments. One day, two wart-hoggers with great swords attacked and he slaughtered one but the other fled and sounded the alarm, calling thousands, and creating a racket that awoke a rock elite and the wart-hoggers blamed Othello who knew he had to do something. He remembered the key of safety given to him by his grandfather, which could blow back enemies with the energy and speed of one hundred million kilometres per hour. If there was one thing Othello loved, it was that key of safety that got him out of trouble.
