He sees a black door, half open.The moment he steps inside he's in pitch black." How will I ever find my way out, if I can't find the door?Mind you a light would be more useful." He spoke out loud. Of course the most obvious thing would be to look for the light switch. He did this with great difficulty. Stepping carefully his fingers rubbed against a switch, a light turned on.Joe had been on a platform , that had a door at one end labelled 'VISITOR'.At the other end was a steep drop.At the edge of the platform was a light switch, the one that Joe had turned on. He was now falling down very slowly but still had his hopes up.The light went out of view. As he went down the drop, he came past lots of sleeping ghosts, as well as other doors, labelled J.K. Rowling, Roald Dahl and so on. He fell on hard stone floor, luckily a light witch was on. He heard voices, merry voices.He saw a golden door. Taking a deep breath, he stepped inside and stood for a while in silence. What could go wrong?</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Joe saw all the writers of his favourite books, all writing on a laptop or notepad.He met some of the writersa nd waved to others. He found a rusty, creaky, crumbly staircase. A ghost came up to him and said," You shouldn't be here. Everyone is scared of this house."</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" I'm not scared,"replied Joe.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Is that so? Even if you met Dr Spook?" asked the ghost timidly.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" I might be, how would I know? I haven't met him," whispered Joe.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" You wouldn't want to,always talks about when he was alive, breathing and innocent," grumbled the ghost.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"What do you mean innocent?Not all humans are innocent,"laughed Joe.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Really, humans look it, they even have lungs," replied the ghost.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Joe felt scared as the ghost spoke.His voice was icy and cold, like no warmthe had flown through his body for decades.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">He plucked up his courage and said,"Excuse me kind ghost, but where does this staircase lead to?"</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Dr spook's lab, but I wouldn't be thinking of him this hour, he'll be too moody," the ghost whispered sleepily.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Jow whispered goodbye and went up the staircase.He found the lab alright! The voice of Dr spook came through the open door.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"When I was alive,breathing and proud, I had the best legs ever, but not now, no-one cares about Dr Spook. Don't think I don't know what the ther ghosts say, he moans a lot, he's moody, I'll show them!" grumbled Dr Spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Joe crept in through the doorway.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Who's there? If it's Mandy, go away, if it's Charles, leave it to lunch! So who is it?"</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Joe, I'm here on a visit,"replied Joe fearlessly.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Joe, you're a visitor I take it, a breather?"</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Yes," Jo answered uncomfortably.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Welcome to my lab, or as the other ghosts say the 'freak clubhouse'. Only myself here, trying my experiments," grumbled Mr Spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" What experiments, for what?" Joe asked,a little excited.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" To turn ghosts to human, or find a way to have human body, mumbled Dr spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Is that possible?"asked Joe doubtfully</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" It might be, this is my 1563rd attempt. I've been trying for a year and 6 months now."</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Can I help?"</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Hmm I might need a human to help with the experiments, plus I need a human to fetch my equipment and lots of clean tubes."</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" I'll be glad to!" replied Joe happily.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"we won't start yet, too late, we need our sleep," yawned Dr Spook sleepily.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Dr Spook led Joe to a wall with a statue. He pulled the statue's arm, a door opened.Inside was a velvet curtain across the window, soft comfy beds(2),wardrobes and a small bathroom, kitchen and sitting room. Joe swa a picture, it looked like a young man holding a baby. Joe slept, so did Dr Spook. </span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">In the morning, Dr Spook got up, so did Joe.For 53 days they tried potions of all kinds to turn ghost to man, all in vain.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Joe went into the old house's library.He found an old fairy tale book.it said'What makes a human is sorrow,joy and laughter.'</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Hmm maybe,thought Joe,Dr Spook has plenty of sorrow, no joy.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Dr Spook used to be a sailor, so did Joe's grandfather.Joe felt sure that the picture in Dr Spook's room was of him, as a baby, and his grandfather.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Dr Spook,I don't think you'll ever become human by mixing odd ingredients,"Joe whispered nervously.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Why,what else can I try?" enquired Dr Spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Well, my book says real humans hav sorrow and joy.You have to be happy!"laughed Joe. So Dr Spook tried to smile and laugh all day. after a week, he was almost human.His breath was warm, he had blood but something was missing." I don't understand, why aren't I human?" shouted Dr Spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">" I don't know,maybe you're not trying hard enough!"answered Joe stressfully.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"I am trying,I've cried,laughed, argued, made friends,what else can I do?"argued Dr Spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">All night Joe thought about hs mum and dad, he felt a bond maryeven though he was in a creepy house,</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"I've the answer, it's love! "shouted Joe one morning.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"What's that?" enquired Dr Spook.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Well, I love my mum and she loves me,it's like friendship, only more powerful,"answered Joe.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"I don't have any family to love,"whispered Dr Spook, tears fell from his eyes.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">So Joe searched for a relative for Dr spook to love. Then it struck him, Dr Spook was his grandfather, who sailed to sea and never returned.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Dr Spook, I'm your...."</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"I know, my grandson ," said Mr Spook. He cried. Suddenly Dr Spook had bright blue eyes, dark hair and white teeth."We must escape!" shouted Mr Spook. They ran into a door, they were floating upwards. They found a platform and stopped to catch their breath.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Why would they hurt us?"spoke Joe, out of breath.</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"I am human, so they shall attack," replied Dr Spook. They pushed open the bookcase, and left the crooked house. Carefully they twisted and turned through all the dusty furniture. soon they were back at Joe's house. Dr spook changed his name to Mr Lupin. That was his brother, a werewolf's name . Joe never ever saw a ghost again, well almost never...</span>

Carrington Key stage 1 winnerThe long spiral staircase led Joe upwards to a treasure trove of old books. Each book allowed Joe to jump inside it and become part of the story.There were adventure books, funny books, scary books, nature books, science books,travel books and magic books.
<br />Suddenly he saw a person, or he thought it was a person but he realised it was a ghost. Then he heard a voice and it was very scary.
<br />The voice said"Get out of this cottage!"
<br />Joe said "No!"
<br />The ghost said"I'll get my friends to come and kill you."
<br />He just wanted to run away home. Joe ran back to the bookshelvesand found a book with a shiny red cover, but it had no name and all the pages were empty. He jumped into it , but where would the story take him?

They played several characters, Jack played the mum, the stranger, the cook, the teacher (Mr. Sans), the butcher and the carpenter. Becky played the main character, Sammy. She also played the holy man and shared the job of being mum. There was a woman called Ali who did the sound on a computer.</font></font></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4">The play was about a little girl called Sammy, who lived on an island, beside the beach, with her mother. Her father was lost at sea when Sammy was a little girl. One day, a stranger was washed up on the beach. The people of the village went to see this stranger and they all thought he was hideous. They wanted to kill him and torture him. They locked him up in a goat pen and kept him there for days and days. He was starving and thirsty until the little girl’s mother gave her food to take to him. The villagers got angry and they ended up throwing him into sea on a raft. Sammy watched with a tear going down her cheek. That was the end of the play.</font></font></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: -0.03cm; margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4">After we had our play, we went into the hall. Ali made us sit in a circle and she asked us what we remembered about the play while Becky wrote everything down.</font></font></p><p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-left: -0.03cm; margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4"><br /></font></font></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4">During the workshop we had a go at </font></font><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4"><u>visualization</u></font></font><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4">. We had to pretend we were the creature in the play; this helped us to get into character (this is something that professionals actors do whilst rehearsing).</font></font></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"></p> <p align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4">First of all we got into small groups and the idea was to create a snapshot of the play. We did a </font></font><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4"><u>freeze frame</u></font></font><font face="FreeSans, serif"><font size="4"> of the stranger leaving home and freeze frame of him arriving at the island.

We had a great time doing three different activities, one about the black death, in one we were being police and in one we were learning about pick-pocketing. We sang a song at the beginning and had a great lunch after two different activities. The drama taught us a lot about history , all class 5 had a great time. We got to play in the adventure playground, nobody wanted to leave. </div>Carringtonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10248544458703322102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662530602871628265.post-91324146505226340302011-05-25T04:08:00.000-07:002011-05-25T04:16:56.848-07:00Outdoor Learning<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFHldKW2YArQwhEej7DLLqHiBunQZSvE38LUNtDJaaMhuO46KzoTWSHcXzdXmDmLkRitErIGCuGZcGE2IxQow1iYEllnNd9aBf7kOtUiGorR4FZJCqUIrOh5tTobXlRqoCDmOOLD7CKhXl/s1600/SDC10142.JPG"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-zF0MOl1K6TD7bzwvRTShs4XI2KYpo7ta8crx8TW9-tvPKfM_nFwwXeCPaB5PecVfXrGu57AZ7l2on9KGMVUZRbgfAhMc7fhBDyF5b8Vxdl3Qhx5k1px555XulALFgydeHv4uKDhzSWDG/s1600/SDC10138.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610610464860107106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-zF0MOl1K6TD7bzwvRTShs4XI2KYpo7ta8crx8TW9-tvPKfM_nFwwXeCPaB5PecVfXrGu57AZ7l2on9KGMVUZRbgfAhMc7fhBDyF5b8Vxdl3Qhx5k1px555XulALFgydeHv4uKDhzSWDG/s320/SDC10138.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL3YVHhPSusYyz1mXn1rZpPjV3YPCYry5eKpK_ZkMkI__ribnPsaRmex2xK62LH0OvEJ3swP-bWuYcEyt04-PiKRK17FozuHLnfqI_yTsERjF2jGIR2iof2Fp0q6MvBf09P4pDe6wxe_ta/s1600/SDC10137.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610610242186219346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL3YVHhPSusYyz1mXn1rZpPjV3YPCYry5eKpK_ZkMkI__ribnPsaRmex2xK62LH0OvEJ3swP-bWuYcEyt04-PiKRK17FozuHLnfqI_yTsERjF2jGIR2iof2Fp0q6MvBf09P4pDe6wxe_ta/s320/SDC10137.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Classes 3 and 5 have been learning about maths outddors.

On the end of her scaly tail is a luminous lantern , guiding unknowing boats towards her. This fearsome beast has eyes all around her head to see what's going on arond her in the vast ,gloomy ocean.Her wobbly legs are like jellyfish, but much stronger, they sting painfully when you touch them, they have razor sharp claws on the end of them. She has venemous mouldy teeth that she uses to kill and eat her prey.Her talons are very strong she uses them to batter the bottom of boats, sinking them. She has an ugly, gruesome head which has three deadly meathods of killing. Her scales are electric blue and give you electric shock when you touch them.</div><br />

Poseidon's trident is so majestic, he slams it down to cause a tsunami. His golden, mesmerising chariot, calms the rugged sea down. Poseidon's temper is deadly, it is unpredictable for the sailors.

It isn't being knocked down then rebuilt, its being built on the top and outwards, like Henry Whipple Primary. Some classes such as year 3/4 have made tally and bar charts about what the pupils what like in the school when it has been built bigger and we made a display in the hall, with all the work on it. Mrs. Anderson (our headteacher) gave each class a A2 piece of paper, including three questions;<br />1:What do you like about the school?<br />2:What do you want to add to the school?<br />3:What do you want to change about the school?<br />The most voted answers were to have have massage rooms, rollercoasters and swimming pools!<br /><br /> By Cole Ison, year 6.Northgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14050859129101480932noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662530602871628265.post-33296275245354195582011-05-23T05:58:00.001-07:002011-05-23T07:00:30.640-07:00Persuasive writing,Henry Whipple<span style="color:#000000;">Class 4 have been doing some persuasive writing....</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffcc00;">SEA LIFE CENTER</span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">come and spend an amazing day </span><span style="color:#000000;"><br />here spend all day.Save up to </span><br /><span style="color:#000000;">£1.00 on children under 3 </span><br />years and under.Adults will enjoy <br />it because there are a lot of things <br />to do.There is a massive car park <br />your car will be safe here. <br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgySwQrtbLMMawl_TDRIxGepoo91EYgoVvpvv512c-gIuxAjAajFvUVFKi1qGW7pHv3QBhrxcU03QxZgzolMP9uKWFP5_Wit0d-2wuUPcajOrZSeuzs6Hh-RHMiOWgNi2L8zXBheSHzyMnM/s1600/SeaLifeLogo.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 93px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609901073900739330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgySwQrtbLMMawl_TDRIxGepoo91EYgoVvpvv512c-gIuxAjAajFvUVFKi1qGW7pHv3QBhrxcU03QxZgzolMP9uKWFP5_Wit0d-2wuUPcajOrZSeuzs6Hh-RHMiOWgNi2L8zXBheSHzyMnM/s200/SeaLifeLogo.jpg" /></a> </span></span></span></span><br />First you get to go and have a look at<br />the animals.There are lots of things<br />for friends and family to do and children.<br />Children are safe and there is a soft play area<br />for children 3 years to 18 months only.<br />when you think you have had enough<br />there is wonderful 4D film on<br />you don't have to pay its free.<br /><br />By Leighann,class 4,Henry Whipple<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:100%;"></span></span></span>Henry Whipple Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17908671027736399309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662530602871628265.post-968027068181021532011-05-23T05:58:00.000-07:002011-05-23T06:46:02.188-07:00Persuasive Writing:Henry Whipple<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cHubo_b1muqkGby_SfHAMi8RiciwY2INryKyf1EpuGWWWFxMgDfTcXPYIBT52cFUUWoA21dSAPrpykMALW5__63dqWfXVwfbw0tRIFZJJDSkR5PxCZX3fHed2_lfEuonj4iGP9q-ws_K/s1600/a.t+2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 5px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 4px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609899060429041554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6cHubo_b1muqkGby_SfHAMi8RiciwY2INryKyf1EpuGWWWFxMgDfTcXPYIBT52cFUUWoA21dSAPrpykMALW5__63dqWfXVwfbw0tRIFZJJDSkR5PxCZX3fHed2_lfEuonj4iGP9q-ws_K/s200/a.t+2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4oYAuZO-Hkr-Poxon7fArUJ3ofJYBZa6HheTl_CnbcI-tQtNnWRxPcgoLFW4GVpvK7rONhHo1NfYYI4IQ2swR7g4GLJZE-ab1m1fdi5FvWSS6Dvt4dwyr0BoDn44VQo4mXUCaZRGbQSI9/s1600/a.t.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609896049203306018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4oYAuZO-Hkr-Poxon7fArUJ3ofJYBZa6HheTl_CnbcI-tQtNnWRxPcgoLFW4GVpvK7rONhHo1NfYYI4IQ2swR7g4GLJZE-ab1m1fdi5FvWSS6Dvt4dwyr0BoDn44VQo4mXUCaZRGbQSI9/s200/a.t.jpg" /></a> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 161px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 1px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609897298821933874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7UZmktzRgaD_Pa7qQc9dxeOkNEhq5tfxGaeZZMkKmI3daa3LGrbc9BrNtESQ4wic0N1UeETICk39gzCosxLVqBrO1IfmXU3NKCnau9opy5tH8VLuZZZJHYvzXcgsB_XndSOFWhgOGPeVN/s200/a.t+2.jpg" />As soon as you pay,you get <br />unlimited rides of your choice. <br />And the food is extraordinary, <br />you can get burgers, salads and<br />even food from all around the<br />world.

Because I am in the highest group these are a couple of tricks that we do. Little man - you have to bend your knees and stretch your arms out in front off you and glide, lemons - you have to move your feet in out in out whilst skating, double jump - you have to do a double jump , lifting one foot off the ground whilst gliding, and last but not least is skating backwards - you have to lift up your feet whilst going backwards and you will begin to slide back wards </span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">by Carla Charles, year 5</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><em></em>Northgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14050859129101480932noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662530602871628265.post-34531117781238273502011-05-23T05:52:00.000-07:002011-05-23T06:36:31.678-07:00S.A.T.S & afterwards treat!Two weeks ago, the Year 6's started their S.A.T.S. Although they were badly stressed, they pulled through just fine. They all found it hard (even the clever one's, who don't admit it). On Monday, they had a reading test. Tuesday, they had long writing, short writing and spelling. On Wednesday, they had maths paper A and a mental maths test. Thursday, they had maths paper B. Finally, on Friday they had the day off. But not exactly, they walked down to the Forest (local park) and split into two groups-football group ( they'd play football on the field) and the park group (they'd play on the park and all the slides e.t.c).

The Romans quite liked the idea of seperate kingdoms fighting each other because it meant that they were less likely to join together and fight against the Romans.</div><br /><br /><div><em>Who was Boudicca married to and what did he think?</em></div><br /><div>Boudicca married King Prasudagus, who was king of the Iceni Tribe. Prasudagus was worried that this would not continue when he had died.</div><br /><br /><div><em>When and where did Boudicca fight?</em></div><br /><div>Boudicca's battles happened when Suentinius Paulinos, the grovenor of Rome was away fighting Druids in Anglesey, North Wales. This meant that the Romans who were left behind didn't have a leader to tell them what to do but... When Suentonius Paulinos heard about the Iceni revolt, he decided to come back which was when things started to go a bit wrong for Boudicca.</div><br /><br /><div><em>When and how did Boudicca die?</em></div><br /><div>Boudicca died around AD 66 because she had poisoned herself with a special type of poison.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaeYqYlx6r6Hv0Nog9P9WkJ-nKIw-WUG-zs3KWjfZjs5o_s6kHvAFFIVaFVg0-fP5Wxit6j-oY9TCydcJhfAARsXyNMHVMdnPTvQ-bFzEt3tzz6nxO_R-sRv5xmIkaYyfixkFh2uYbbhz5/s1600/boudicca2.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 216px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609906781655541058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaeYqYlx6r6Hv0Nog9P9WkJ-nKIw-WUG-zs3KWjfZjs5o_s6kHvAFFIVaFVg0-fP5Wxit6j-oY9TCydcJhfAARsXyNMHVMdnPTvQ-bFzEt3tzz6nxO_R-sRv5xmIkaYyfixkFh2uYbbhz5/s320/boudicca2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>Haydn Primaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16706422254443499537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662530602871628265.post-68885004532083854932011-05-23T05:48:00.000-07:002011-05-23T06:26:56.260-07:00Sir Francis Dawn (Seely Juniors)<span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">He saw it, the ghost of sir Francis dawn.

She replied in her friendly voice.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">"Thank you." Said Tim. He started walking away to where he thought the book would be.

Tim flipped the page and there he saw a little picture of a sailing ship. He automatically knew it was dawn's!</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;">That night Tim waited at the spot where he first had seen the ghost . Then a ghostly Francis dawn came towards him red eyes blazing. Tim thrust the picture at the terror. Next a funny thing happened, there was a blinding flash and the ghost had gone, it had disappeared. Tim went back every night for a week, but still no ghost so life went back to normal and Tim kept that secret for the rest of his life!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;">By Manny</span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;">Year 4</span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;">Seely Junior school</span>Seely Juniorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09746516976634424052noreply@blogger.com1
