The Firefighter Saves the Day

The Firefighter Saves the Day
by Cameron, age 5

There once was a dragon who everyone thought was a bad dragon. They thought she was a bad dragon because she did something bad. She blew her fire and tried to burn a cat and a flower.

 

A firefighter came to the rescue. He used his fire hose and put the fire out, saving the day.

 

The dragon wasn't really bad though. She was pregnant and was worried that the cat and the flower were going to hurt her unborn baby. The firefighter understood that she was afraid and reassured her that no one would hurt her. Then the dragon was no longer afraid and stopped behaving badly.

Christmas Time

by Isabella, age 5

There were twin girls who really wanted toys for Christmas, because they were hoping that they would get something new and exciting. They were bored with their old toys, so they gave their old toys away to poor children who had no toys at all.

On Christmas morning, they woke up and quickly ran out to see what they would find in their stockings and if Santa had left them any presents. They found lots of new and exciting toys. They loved their toys so much that they played with them for years and years and never grew bored of them at all.

by Gabriella, age 8

Once there was a princess named Ullanine. Her only friends she had were her dog and her favourite toy named Shuggy. One day, she was walking around the palace garden, and she didn’t notice that there was a hole. Then she accidentally fell into it. She fell a long way down before she landed on the rough, hard rocky ground. It was very dark at the bottom of the hole.

Soon after her fall, the king came home. The king knew there was a hole because he had asked the builders to dig it for him because he was going to have a well made. He went round the garden to the hole, and he saw something moving at the bottom of the well. He thought it might be a person.

He called the fire brigade. The fire brigade could not tell whether it was a person or something else moving down in the hole, but they were brave enough to try and rescue whoever or whatever was down there. They got special machine that had a rope on it to lower them into the hole.

A fireman named Flake who was also a prince but volunteering as a fireman in his spare time was lowered into the hole. At the bottom, he found the beautiful princess Ullanine. He tied some of the rope around her and the other firemen pulled the two of them up out of the hole together.

Prince Flake and Princess Ullanine fell in love and were married soon after.

The Princess & Her Castle In The Clouds

by Connor, age 4

There once was a pretty princess named Mommy who had long red hair. She lived in a castle that sat way up on top of clouds. Whenever she wanted to get down, she used a long, pink ladder. She loved looking way down at everything below her and could see lots of pretty sights, but it was such a long climb down that she didn’t climb down very often. Sometimes her friends climbed up to see her though.

One day, her pink ladder fell over and she became trapped in her castle in the clouds. She became very lonely and after a few days, she began to wonder if she would ever find a way down again.

Then a boy who was a prince named Connor happened by. He looked up at the castle on top of the clouds and wondered who lived there. Princess Mommy looked down from the castle top and yelled down to the Prince below, “Please help me! My ladder broke and I can’t get down!”

“That’s okay,” said Prince Connor. “I have a ladder too.” He went home and came back with a long orange ladder. The princess used the ladder to climb down.

The princess thanked him and then decided that she no longer liked having her castle in the clouds. She looked around and found her pink ladder lying in the grass. On the side of the ladder was a magic button. She pushed the magic button and her castle slowly came down and landed in a field of grass. It still sits there to this day.

Exploring

by Connor, age 3

There was a little boy named Connor who loved to wander in the forest and explore. He wandered away from his mommy, older sisters and little brother one day to go and look for animals in the forest.

He held his hands up to his eyes pretending they were binoculars and looked through them to see if he could find some animals. He saw a horse, a unicorn and a tiger as well as lots of other animals. He was very excited about the animals he had seen, but he wished that he had someone there to share his excitement with, so he hurried home.

He told his mommy, and his big sisters Bella, Gabby, Angelica and Kayla and his little brother Cameron all about seeing the horse, unicorn, tiger and other animals. They all wanted to see the animals too, so they agreed that on the next day, they would all come with him and look for animals.

The next day, Mommy had a surprise for him. She had packed a picnic lunch for everyone! They all looked for animals and when they saw the horse, the unicorn and the tiger, it was a lot of fun to see them with each other around to talk to about it. Connor’s sister Bella found some feathers that she shared with him, and Gabby found some really pretty leaves that she shared with him.

Mommy spread a picnic blanket out and they all ate lunch together and talked about their day before going home. Connor thought that it was much more fun exploring with his family than doing it alone, so he decided that, whenever he felt like going and looking for animals, he would ask his family to come and join him from now on.

Princess Mommy & Her Dogs

by Connor, age 3

There once was a princess named Mommy. She lived in a castle. Her castle had a moat around it and, in her bedroom, she had a very big, comfortable bed. She had four dogs. Two of her dogs were girls and two of her dogs were boys. Their names were Tyler, Ben, Rosie & Helen. They were very small dogs. They had long fur and long tails. Their fur was pink.

Princess Mommy fed her dogs every day and took them on lots of long walks. She threw a ball for them, and they all loved to try and get to it first and bring it back to her. Princess Mommy loved her dogs and her dogs loved her.

One day, little Rosie went missing. Princess Mommy looked everywhere for her. She looked in the dining hall, but Rosie wasn’t there. She looked in the rubbish, but Rosie wasn’t there. She looked in the kitchen, but Rosie wasn’t there.

Princess Mommy was very worried about her little pink dog Rosie, and the other dogs were sad too because they missed Rosie. Princess Mommy looked in one more place. She looked in the castle moat, and there was her little Rosie! Rosie had decided to go for a swim.

Princess Mommy got Rosie out of the moat and gave her a bath to clean all of the mud off of her. She was very happy that she had found Rosie and the other dogs were happy too.

Dogs, Dogs & More Dogs

by Connor, age 3

There was a boy named Connor. Connor was three years old. One day, he took a long walk with his mommy. His mommy wouldn't let him bring his dog Mercury with him, even though he really wanted to bring Mercury.

On the walk, he met a lot of other dogs. By the time he had arrived back at home, he had met twenty dogs! He met big dogs, little dogs and medium sized dogs. He met dogs with short legs, dogs with long tails and dogs with floppy ears, and he also met dogs with long legs, short tails and straight ears. He met dogs with rough fur and dogs with soft fur. He met dogs with long fur and dogs with short fur. He met brown dogs, black dogs, yellow dogs, ginger-colored dogs and even white dogs. He met puppies, young dogs and old dogs too.

Only two dogs were unfriendly and had owners that wouldn't let him pet them. All of the other dogs let Connor pet them and were very friendly. One small black puppy gave Connor dog kisses! When a dog licks you, it is his way of kissing you, and the little puppy licked Connor's cheek. It jumped up to do it and surprised Connor, but Connor laughed and was happy.

Even though Connor got to meet all of those dogs, he still missed his dog Mercury. Mercury was a very fluffy collie. And Mercury loved to go for walks with Connor.

When Connor got home, he met one last dog. It was Mercury! Connor went straight into the house and hugged his dog Mercury and played with him, because he really loved his dog.

Toy Trucks & Toy Helicopters

by Connor, age 3

There was a four year old boy named Tyler who loved race cars. He wanted to drive a race car, but he didn't have one, so he walked instead. One day he walked to the store. It was a long walk.

When Tyler got to the store, he looked at all of the toys. He really liked a really big toy truck that he found, and he also really liked a really big helicopter that he found. The truck was red and the helicopter was blue.

He wanted to buy them, but he didn't have any money. He looked on the floor to see if there was any money that people had dropped, but he didn't find any money. He wasn't able to buy the toy truck and helicopter.

He walked home and told his mommy all about the toys that he wanted, and he asked her if she would buy them for him. She told him that she didn't have any money either. That made him sad, but his mommy told him he should wait and see if he got the toys for his birthday.

When his birthday arrived, his mommy had bought him the big red toy truck and the big blue toy helicopter that he wanted! He was so happy, and he played with them all day!

A Good Summer With Teddy

A Good Summer With Teddy
by Gabriella, age 7

One day, I was going to the beach for the whole summer. I had to pack loads of clothes and things. I didn’t forget to bring my teddy bear. His name was Teddy, and he was very special to me. When it was time to go, we took a truck to the beach, because we had lots of boxes of our things to bring with us for the summer.

It took four hours to get there. During those four hours, I did some drawing and I played with Teddy and some of my other toys. I also read a book that took me a whole hour to read.

When I got to the beach, we parked the truck and then had to walk a small distance to the hotel. The hotel manager said we had to go to room 616 on the top floor. We opened the door, and we unpacked our things. It took us a whole afternoon to unpack out things.

After we unpacked our things, I picked up Teddy and he was alive! I was very surprised to see him moving on his own! He spoke to me and we had a long chat. He explained that sometimes on very special days during the summer toys can come alive.

We went to the beach again, and we started to build sand castles. When it was 7:00pm, we went back to the hotel because it was bed time. It was a wonderful day playing with Teddy on the beach, and I hoped that he would be able to come alive again someday.

The Mermaid & The Boy

The Mermaid & The Boy
by Isabella, age 4

There was a pretty mermaid named Jackie and she saw a boy sleeping on the beach. The ocean’s waves were getting closer to him. The ocean wanted to sweep him away, but she didn’t want him to drown. She couldn’t go on the beach so she sang a song to wake him up.

She sang the “Happy Birthday” song but with different words. She sang,
“You are asleep,
And the ocean
Is coming.
You are asleep,
But you need to
Wake up soon.”

He woke up and saw the waves getting close to him. He stood up, but slipped as the water reached his feet and fell into the water. The ocean’s waves quickly tried to pull him out to sea.

As he swam back to shore, he saw the pretty mermaid Jackie and he knew it had been her song that woke him up and saved him from being swept out to sea while he slept. He never forgot her.

Lasunk The Giant

Lasunk the Giantby Gabriella, 3 years old

There was a big giant called Lasunk. Lasunk lived in a big castle. He walked really quietly. He snuck up on Gabby and kissed her. He left drool all over Gabby because his lips were so big. Then he roared at Gabby, just being silly. He also cuddled her, but he was so big that he had to pick her up and hold her by his cheek so she could give him a kiss because she was so tiny.

Gabby and he decided to see how high they could jump. Gabby jumped high, but Lasunk jumped much higher. Lasunk the giant picked her up and took her to Noland where he lived in his big castle.

In Noland, Gabby saw a monster, but Lasunk protected her from it. The flowers there were really big. So were the boats. Even Lasunk’s bottom was really big! He took Gabby through a tunnel and back home. He promised to come see her again soon.
