Wishes by Primary 6, St Peter’s RC School

Primary 6 are the first class to be involved in a fantastic writing project with The Reading Bus. The class were inspired by two workshops by John Fardell, an award winning author, and have now written their own stories on the theme of Wishes. They have chosen one small part of their story to share on Reading Bus Press.

Then a genie popped out from the explosion of the fire and said in a very deep voice, “I will grant you one wish, the only rules are that you are not allowed to wish for more wishes.” Laim T

“I just hate Mr Laton, the Head Teacher. I mean what was that about the other day. He was all like, OK, you’re late for class and, on see me in my office,” said Zahra being the cheeky one this time. Saoirse

Flora and Layton saw a train. They saw the fair and it was 20p but they had no money. They came out and saw a girl. She looked like metal. The girl grabbed them and put them on a rollercoaster. A voice said, “This will go to Vampire Castle.” Soha

“I am a little wish box. You can ask me for one wish only, so you need to think very hard what you would like to come true. But you need to tell me your wish before midnight, because after that the wish box will disappear. Be careful!” Simon

On day, just a normal day, two nine year olds called Mark and Louise were in an amusement park and they found an unusual looking pit ball. It had Celtic print so they sent and took a look then suddenly …… the ball started to glow and it was mumbling something in Chinese but luckily they had a Chinese friend to translate. She said something about wishes. Exciting I know. Rebecca

In a big white palace lived a princess called Selena but she just hated that name so she told everyone to use her second name which was Alex. If you want to know something about her family, her Mum died when Alex was six years old and her Dad died two years after her Mum. Now she only has her Grandmother. When Alex’s Grandmother will die alex will become the Queen of Denmark. Wiktoria

“That was an awesome game!” I said as we started walking home. Shhhh! What the? I looked behind me and saw a little swirl pool getting bigger and bigger!” Panashe

As they were going on the way, Vivian noticed that she was no more in Scotland and she found out that she was on one of the witches’ broomsticks and also found out that it was big and thin and long. You could easily fall off because she also noticed that it was a sticky one so she was lucky. Before she even knew it, she found herself in the sky and started wondering what her family would think of her. So, she just decided to ask where she was going but when she asked, “Puff!” they turned her into a padlock so that she wouldn’t talk a tick. Agnes

Two hours later, he was looking for food in the water. He saw a shiny box. He quickly swam to the box. Then the box asked, “What is your wish?” Adrian L

Meanwhile Kitty was trying to tell Cathy about some butterfly flying into the room. But then Tiffanny flew out and ruined her plan. Cathy said, “When were you planning to tell me?” When Kitty didn’t answer,Tiffany tried to lighten the mood. “At least we both have unlimited wishes now!” both girls smiled. Ngozi

“I grant you three wishes and let me introduce myself, I’m George the Genie.” Nancy

One day Jake came back to the large cave. “Oh, I’m back and my wish has come true.” He had a dog, but it wasn’t all correct, he wanted a UFO dog. He told his dog to sit but the dog just flew. Jake shouted, “I HAVE AN UFO DOG!!!!” Filip

One bright day there were some older kids and a younger boy in the park but some thing wasn’t right. Happy Helper saw the older kids were punching the young boy. He looked sad, worried and frightened. They were bullying him. So when ever the older kids touched the younger boy it started to rain on the older kids. But, why? Happy Helper had turned into a cloud. The older kids were trying to work out what was going on. Finally they left because they were so wet. Niamh

One day Rose wanted to be a princess. She went to school and she found a big yellow rock. The rock spoke, “I can give you a wish.” The next day she woke up in a palace. She saw a beautiful gown. Weronika

There was a magic tree right in front of the house. Amy wished she would know a big secret in the family. Then suddenly the wish came true, the wish was that the whole family was MAGIC! that was the secret. Adithya

Suddenly everything turned as red as a tomato and the money tried to eat me. I shouted as loud as I could. No one heard me. I struggled and struggled. Scott

One day Michal and Radek wished for a silver A4 coupe and a black Nissan Skyline car. There was a big bang and two cars appeared on the street! Michal said, “Look Radek, new cars. One for you and one for me. I want the Nissan Skyline and you have the Audi A4.

The Dark Witch screamed in terror. The castle started breaking up in the middle. Hector wished that they were in a safe place. Hector made new friends, Dion, Thoko, Magdalena and Claire. The Dark Witch disappeared! James M

One shiny day there was a little monkey called Jack, a zebra called Fiona and there was a little monkey called Mia. She was alone and she wished to have some good friends. Magda

Hayley took the shiny key out of her pocket and suddenly the little house turned gold. They went inside and Hary saw a gold ball. He picked it up and wished he was at home sleeping in his bed. The next day Hayley and Harry woke up and realised they are at home and they felt really happy but Harry had a big secret. He still had the gold ball in his pocket and he never told anyone about it. It would be his secret forever. Magdalena

I got lost and didn’t want to go down in this type of night. Was that the same with you? Have you got a fire lighter …. oi, what are you kids doing? By then everything was spinning in my mind. I just wished I had got out of there but I couldn’t. Thoka

I will help you and off they went. when they got there, the smaller girl said to Suzy that she lied. “Why?” “I don’t know.” Izabella

The green monster ate the door and tripped into the room. Shan was so scared, he run up the chimney. The Monster tried to get up the chimney but dust and darkness was his weakness so he didn’t go up. The monster slivered out of the house and into the street. “YAHH!” screamed the town folk at the sight of him. Callum

After school, she was walking lonely in a dark, shadowy emty place where birds where whistling everywhere; owls flew everywhere as fast as shooting stars. Zahra

Days passed into weeks. Weeks turned into months. I’ve been making so many wishes that I’ve lost track. I’ve felt like the most wonderful princess. But lately, Mum has been acting weird, and she notices me more than before. I feel like an animal in a cage. Claire

The Boogie-doogioe went to the doctor. While he was walking, he saw a box so he opened it and then he saw a paper in it. He picked it up and on the paper it said, “I am the box with the wishes. You can ask me for one wish.” Dawid

“Wow!! What is that?” said Paul. “It looks like a magic box,” said Bill. “How do you know?” said Paul. “Because it says on the label,” said Bill. It was a magic box and could give them as many wishes as possible! But they didn’t know what to wish for. Samuel

THE BOAT

Can you guess how this happend?

The house boat was small and red with smooth gleaming surfaces. The brass name plate on the front read “Fruitful Harvest”. So it would be a surprise to see the bow ripped and scratched. The boat seemed to be trapped in an eddy with the bow sticking into the shore of a fast flowing river.
The inside of the boat was crammed with pictures, some of which were unfinished. There were paints and paint brushes littering the floor. There was a math box and burger package floating in the water outside the boat.
On the deck you could see very small dusty windows lining the outside of the boat and the rope that would normally tie the boat up was snapped. The end of the rope was blackened and smelt of smoke.
Near the ripped rope, there was a Barbeque that had been knocked over. There were still some burning embers in it.

Caravan City

Who do you think lives in this caravan?

There was a Caravan City by the river.  One of the caravans stood out.  It had two bedrooms and was surounded by gardens.  The caravan was for a family of three people.  It was long and narrow and coloured white.

The inside was cream colour and there were red spots.  When I opened the green front door, I saw some bits of coloured paper.  I went to the living room and on the table I saw a tape and scissors.  On the floor were bits of wrapping paper.  There was a sticky label on the kitchen table.  The floor was all dirty.  A bottle was lying on the table and the water covered the floor.

 In the frst bedroom there was a football lying on the floor.  On the bed there was an invitation to the party that night.  There was a jacket and a scarf on the bed and in the bedroom there was a photo of the family.

In the bathroom, the sink was all dirty and there was no soap.  There was no bath top in it - it only had a shower.  The bathroom was painted blue.  The window was opened.  the weather outside was windy and cloudy.
