The Fire Dragon by Dylan McCann (2nd class)

One day, a young skilful ninja was out hunting in the forest when he came across an egg. But it wasn’t any egg, it was an orange polka-dotted egg. The boy knew that this was a very rare dragon egg. It was a fire dragon egg…

When he brought the egg home, he left it on a very soft cushion. It was lying there for approximately 4 hours. The boy couldn’t stop staring at it, the boy even fell asleep!!” just then, it began to crack. It shivered, wobbled and even jumped! Then a flaming dragon burst out of it.

First, the dragon learned how to fly, then hunt, then fish. He even learned how to DANCE!! It was a miracle for the little boy but not the neighbours. They had to listen to it every night! The dragon settled in and made himself at home.

When the dragon was out hunting one day, he heard a strange noise. It was soldiers. The soldiers were so afraid to see a real dragon and thought it was going to kill everyone and they began shooting. The dragon didn’t stand a chance against so many guns. The little boy tried to stop the soldiers but it was too late.

Everyone that had made friends with the dragon came to say goodbye to him. At his funeral they decided to remember all the good times they had had together and everyone danced all the crazy dances the dragon had learned. They called it the Dragon Dance. Although the dragon was dead, everyone still remembers him and visits him every day.

 

Looking for Cheese by Tiaan Daly (2nd class)

Once upon a time there were three friends, Bob the bionic bunny, Tom the tough tiger and Michael the mad monkey. They all lived in big bubble houses in a town called Animalville on the North side of Pluto.

They all had special abilities. Bob the bionic bunny was half machine, half bunny and he could jump 7 metres up in the air. Tom the tough tiger wasn’t afraid of anybody and was a great wrestler. Michael the mad monkey could make a special potion to make himself invisible.

One night, they were watching TV when a special message came on. Pluto was going to be attacked by the green blobs from Mars!! They were made by a mad scientist called Doctor WhoopsIfellonthefloor. In two days they would reach Pluto and had to be stopped. The only thing that could destroy them was Wensleydale cheese.

Oh no, they discovered they were all out of cheese! Michael the mad monkey had eaten it all! He felt really bad and wanted to do something to save Animalville. He came up with the idea to travel to Cheese Mountain on the south side of Pluto with his friends Bob and Tom.

They went really early in the morning and walked for hours. When they got close to the mountain they noticed the cheese was guarded by Ninkinpoops, funny little creatures with sharp noses and creepy laughs. The three friends used their powers to get to the cheese. Bob jumped over the Ninkinpoops, Tom wrestled them to the ground and Michael took his potion that made him invisible and he walked straight passed them! They filled up their baskets with as much cheese as they could carry and set off home.

When they came back to Animalville, everybody told them they were heroes. Just then they heard a loud bang and the green blobs attacked. Everybody grabbed some cheese and a catapult and shot the blobs.

That night they had a big party because the blobs were defeated and couldn’t attack any other planets and take over the solar system. They had lots of cheese and people from all the other planets came. So many people came that they didn’t all fit on Pluto and had to stay in their spaceships.
