Donbank
Super Duper Dinosaur by Rebecca Thomson
One day I woke up and I walked out of my bed without realising I was a dinosaur. I had my breakfast and I let out a ginormous burp. When I went to brush my teeth, I looked in the mirror and I realised….. I was a dinosaur! I was T-rex. I tried to brush my teeth but there were too many teeth and the toothbrush snapped in two.
Then I tried to put my coat on but it was too small. On the way to school everyone ran away from me. I was going through the school doors then my head crashed through the wall. I went into the classroom and I went to sit on my chair when my butt got stuck on the seat. I tried to wiggle it off and it broke the chair.
I ran out of school and sat down in the middle of the town feeling really down. Suddenly a pram ran down a busy road. Help my baby a lady shouted. I ran down the road and I grabbed the pram. Thank you said the lady. It was nothing I said. Whenever I saved someone they said thank you super duper dinosaur.

CHRISTMAS
Can you guess who lives in this mansion?
One cold snowy day there was a mansion in the village of Velleda. It looked beautiful and homely with the snow on the roof and all around it. The mansion stood out in the village of Velleda, but it was even more beautiful inside. As you walked in the big brown door on the posh porch there was a light brown mat that read welcome.
Then there were the beautiful brown shimmering floors and the very valuable ornaments balanced on the very valuable tables. Then as you walked into the gorgeous kitchen you could smell the Christmas dinner and there were decorations all over the mansion. The mansion was very valuable and it had very delicate items inside and out. Even the big brown door on the porch had a very intricate letterbox on it. This mansion was the most important building in the village because someone very important lived there.

My Cottage
Who do you thinks lives in this cottage?
Someone’s car broke down outside and they walked in to the house. It was covered in leaves. I smelt the warm smell of cottage pie as I walked into the kitchen. There was one very large chair, one medium chair and one small chair. I walked into the bedroom there was one very large bed, one medium bed and one small bed I sat on the small bed. It was lumpy - “Ah!” I screamed. There was a giant shrimp in this bed and I ran all the way back to my house.

Detective
Be a detective and work out the clues in this story!
As I walked out of the lift door I could see the beautiful picture through the patterned window. When I came through the door I tripped over a thin water proof jacket left on the floor. I was surprised to see how many videos they had, I guessed about 700, all stacked neatly on six shelves. I went to the first bedroom and I could smell the faint smell of air freshener. On the door was a label saying “DANGER KEEP OUT”. After entering cautiously I noticed a Christmas card saying “best of greetings to you”. It was anonymous. I could also see a whole set of doctor who figures all set up nicely. I was astounded by the amount.
I moved to the bathroom straight away I guffed “uuuurrrrrrrgggghhh” smelling a really strong smell of the same air freshener. They were obviously clean freaks. When I was exiting the room I heard a loud scream….

House Story
Who lives in this house?
It was white outside. There are trophies in the window. The dog went up to the window and the people went for a walk in the wood and had a snowball fight. Pitbull found a football and it was outsize of the house he went in to and found a note “football training on Monday”.

My House
Who lives in this house?
In a quiet neighbourhood in the country there was a big house with an open door I thought I should go and see what was in it. There were trophies and beside it was a very short note. I read the note ,it said gone out to the match I will be back soon love…….I started to look in the living room I saw a pair of boots and a strip with number 1 on it . The strip was padded. I heard a dog bark. It came from upstairs.
I crept up slowly and opened the bedroom door sitting there was Labrador puppy. I heard a thump and ran down stairs and in the closet I hid. It was crammed with bikes and old toys. I heard someone speak they said “is anyone there? Then they went upstairs and I ran out of the closet and out the front door. Jason Curley
