"My Time Machine" by Sean G, Age 6, Year 2
*****************************
My Time Machine
This story is by Sean G age 6 who is in year 2 - mum has helped with typing it.
I pressed a button to turn on my time machine. The time machine made a big beeping sound and we travelled back in time. I looked around and saw nothing. I heard a massive roar. I nearly fell over because it was a Tyrannosaurus Rex. I looked up and in the distance I could see a green thing with big, big claws. I hid behind a branch and then I sent my friendly Parasurus to chase the T-Rex away. It was too dangerous there so I went home in my time machine.

"Secrets of the Deep: Part 2" by Keira J, Age 10, Year 6
********************************
Secrets Of the Deep Part 2
Recap:
I had just swum out too far in the O.W.S.C.S (Open water Swimming Competitions) and a sea creature changed my legs into a tail!!!
Part 2:
The creature swam away. I was left floating there, totally speechless. I could not believe what had just happened. I felt my neck. There were two gills there.
Feeling very scared, I began to swim around, hoping to find someone or something that would help me to understand. When nothing came, I decided I might as well get used to this life, and began testing out my tail. I could swim 15 times faster than the average human, and there was no need to hold my breath any longer.
When I went down to the bottom of the sea, I saw an underwater cave. It was brightly decorated, with gold and jewels, and even one or two corals. I wondered why that was there. Was it part of an underwater display? Maybe divers had done something for charity.
However, when I went to investigate, I found… More merpeople!!!!! Mermen and women, merchildren, even one or two mercats!! It was unbelievable, I felt like I must have been in a dream. But sure enough, this was real.
“Hello, are you new here? I don’t think I’ve seen you before,” smiled a beautiful mermaid with long, golden hair and big blue eyes.
“Yes, I was competing in a swimming competition. I swam too far out and this…. thing began merging my legs into a tail!” I explained.
“You must be confused. Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything. What’s your name?”
“Samantha, but everyone calls me Sam.”
“Samantha,” she repeated, “I’m Imogen.”
“Nice to meet you, Imogen.”
Imogen smiled, “thanks. So, I guess I’d better explain. There is a sea creature. The most beautiful and magical sea creature in the world. There are less than three of them in each ocean. It takes coincidence, destiny, and luck for one to find you. This creature is called the mermafish. It has the power to turn humans into merpeople, and merpeople back into humans. However, to turn back, you must be transformed by the same mermafish that turned you into a mermaid. So, not very many merpeople get changed back.”
“Were all mermaids humans once?” I asked.
“Most of them. The original mermaids died out ages ago, so this is the only way to become one.”
“Wow,” I whispered. So much had become clearer; I now realized how lucky I was to have swum out too far. From what Imogen had said, very few people were chosen by the mermafish.
“What I have told you are the secrets of the deep. You cannot tell anyone if you ever turn human. The merpeople that have changed back are sworn to secrecy, they have been ever since they were told. If anyone finds out about us, marine biologists would be dissecting us in labs.”
“I won’t. Besides, who would believe me anyway?”
But I have broken that promise. I have told you, but I know you will not tell anyone else.
But I must warn you. When you are swimming out in seas, avoid the mermafish. Although I am now a mermaid, and I quite like it, I miss all of my old friends, even Kimberley. So that is why I passed this story on to you. So that you can tell others, who will tell others, and eventually the mermaids will die out. There is, however, one problem........

"The Footballer" by Robert C, Year 5
Robert has mixed a little football history & fiction, writing about some sporting heroes:
********************************
The Footballer
Once a upon a time lived a footballer called Ronaldo. On Tuesday it was a beautiful cloudy day but a little bit sunny. They went to the woods and they had a picnic with Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez and Nani. They all play for Manchester United.
One Wednesday they had to play with Chelsea and Nani, Rooney and Tevez almost got 1 goal 4 Manchester United, but then 5 min later Ronaldo scored and Lampard scored 4 Chelsea . But John Terry almost got it in when the goaly was out and the defender blocked it so it wouldn't be 2/1.
They had an extra time but it was still 1 all so they had a penalty shootout and the score was 6/5. So Manchester United had won the premiere league trophy.

"Secrets of The Deep - Pt 1" by Keira J, Age 10, Year 6
*****************************
Secrets Of the Deep - Part 1
I come up to the surface. I look out towards the beach. Many tourists are there, lounging, on sunbeds and towels, buying ice-creams, preoccupying their children. It reminds me of the old life I used to have before that day I had at sea............
It started out like any other day. Nothing special happened, I just woke up and got out of bed. Simple. Although I did have butterflies in my stomach. The Open Water Swimming Competitions (O.W.S.C.) were to be held later that day. My friend Cassy and I would be competing for the golden trophy. Everyone at school had been talking about it, and we had had many people wishing us luck. It was almost annoying.
When I met up with her at school, we were both pretty quiet. I could tell that she was nervous as well. When we finally did talk, neither of us mentioned the O.W.S.C.s. Well, at least not until Kimberley came up to us, and started rambling on about how her brother was stung by a jellyfish and had to be taken into Hospital when he entered the O.W.S.Cs. Gee, some people really know how to cheer you up.
“Excited?” asked Cassy.
“Nervous,” I replied with a grin.
“Oh, nerves do not help at all,” continued Kimberley, “that’s why my brother got stung, because he was so nervous he didn’t concentrate.”
Cassy and I exchanged glances. Kimberley obviously misunderstood this.
“Don’t worry, it’s been ages since anyone died.” Kimberley sympathetically whispered, “Five years ago Jim Harold pricked himself on a poisonous coral, but...”
“English books out, copy the first passage from your books,” said our teacher, Mrs Diggal.
Kimberley went back to her place. Cassy and I sat and murmured about the competition.
When the bell went for break time, Mrs Diggal called Cassy and I over.
“I just wanted to say good luck. I heard everything Kimberley told you, and remember, that was five years ago. They have changed the location to a safer place now. If you do have any worries or concerns, tell the person in charge."
When it was finally time to go, Cassy and I got onto the bus. We said goodbye to everyone, and heard Kimberley say something about sharks, although Cassy and I were slightly annoyed by this time.
After arriving at the beach, we did a warm-up swim. We swam 50 metres out, then came back. Finally, it was time for the races.
“Front Crawl Races, ages 8-12. Contestants: Eleanor Kikki, Rebecca Sooht, and Cassandra Gold.”
I wished Cassy good luck, and went to watch the race.
“Three, two, one, GO!” shouted the instructor.
Cassy was very fast. She was at least three metres in front of the others, and won easily.
“Freestyle Races, Butterfly category, ages 8-12. Contestants: Elizabeth Hordes, Caitlin Tirrace and Samantha Benette.”
“Good luck Sam,” whispered Cassy.
“Three, two, one, GO!”
I shot off like a rocket, my arms whirling so fast they were a blur. I kept going, and going, and soon I was very tired. Should I stop? Surely I must have completed it by now. But what if I hadn’t? I would have let everybody down, and that’s something I hate doing. So I kept swimming.
Soon, I found I had absolutely NO energy left. Whether I liked it or not, I had to stop.
I emerged from the water. Uh-oh. There was no one, nothing in sight. What had happened? Had I gone too far? Surely I must have. But they would have stopped me. Wouldn’t they??
I began to feel really scared. On top of all of this, I had no food, no drink, and definitely NO energy left. What would happen to me? These thoughts all rushed around inside my head.
Suddenly, a fin appeared. Was this a shark? Yet it didn’t feel like a shark. It had a sort of magic about it. I knew that it would not hurt me. So, I swam towards it.
It began to go berserk. Biting and chewing on my legs. And yet-it didn’t hurt. I just felt changes. BIG changes. My legs felt… odd. In fact, they didn’t actually feel like legs any more. They felt like… no, surely not, that was impossible. But I had to check.
I looked down. And sure enough, just as I had imagined, there was a tail.
What happened next? See part two.
