The Thieves’ Arrival by Carnell
Long, long ago in a small village
in China, lived a boy called Yang. One hot day, Yang said to his mum,
“Mum, can I look at that cave?” But before she could reply, Yang was
off. He went in the rocky cave which stood beside their house, looked
around and decided to go deeper. The cave was very, very dark and he
felt scared. As he ran across the rock he accidentally cut himself on
his leg. At the same time, he heard a loud, rumbling sound which shook
the earth and a large rock fell across the entrance to the cave!
Just
then, a roar came from inside the cave. Yang limped further in the dark
and a dragon appeared! But it wasn’t any old dragon – it was a Chinese
dragon called Móshù Shui Long! He had blue, water-drop-patterned skin
and magical, water powers. It roared like ten lions, and Yang said in a
scared voice, “It’s fine, I won’t hurt you.” So the dragon carefully
approached Yang and in a low voice asked, “Are you hurt?”
On
the other side of the cave, Yang’s mother could see thieves arriving
with a huge box, so big it could fit a Chinese dragon inside. They left
it next to Yang’s house then decided to go inside to see if there was
anything valuable to steal. Just then, Yang heard his mother screaming!
Next minute, the dragon roared and the
thieves came to the cave. They entered the cave, but they were immediately blasted away by the dragon’s fiery breath!
The
thieves ran to the box, unchained the padlock which held the lid tight,
then ran for their lives. A serpent as big as Móshù Shui Long came out
of the box. It wasn’t any ordinary serpent, it was a serpent with arms
and legs! Immediately, it went for Móshù Shui Long. “I am called Huái
Snake,” he announced in an evil voice. Although he was tired, the dragon
did a lot of damage to the snake, who disappeared to find the thieves.
Over the next two hours, Yang trained the dragon in
preparation for the thieves’ return. When the dragon was ready, the
snake appeared with the two thieves and they battled! Each of them were
hitting and kicking each other and throwing each other to the ground.
Finally, Móshù Shui Long made a poisoned cloud out of his watery breath.
The poison hurt Huai Snake, but the snake bit his fangs into Móshù Shui
Long, who made magic water which made Huai Snake fall. Móshù Shui Long
went back down and threw Huai Snake away. Then, Yang went and had rice
for dinner. The dragon was given a prize by Yang’s mother, and he and
Yang were friends forever.

2017 Limerick Competition Winners
Once
again, as part of our poetry studies, we’ve held a Limerick
competition. We had many excellent entries and it was difficult to
choose winners.
I hate my auntie shopping,
That is why I ended up hopping.
I cried and lied,
And, so hard I tried.
That's why I feel like popping!

Two aliens came from the moon,
So they could write an alien tune.
It was dreadful at first.
Then they wrote a new verse,
and it hit the top ten in June!

There were once two crafty looters,
Who tried to steal Crosshall’s computers,
They made too much sound,
And got chased into the playground,
Where they were run over by kids on their scooters.

There once was a puppy called Flosie,
Who became rather naughty and bossy.
She wanted a stick,
And jumped up real quick,
Licked my nose and made it all glossy.
