Primary 5/6 from Causewayend School visited the Aberdeen Art Gallery with their class teacher and Sheena Blackhall and David Barry from The Reading Bus. The class were enthralled by storytelling sessions from Sheena using different paintings as the stimulus. Back in class the youngsters wrote fantastic poems, stories and plays using the paintings as the inspiration.
We hope you enjoy the following writing about Fyvie Castle:

Fire coloured grass
Yellow stoned castle
Very dark and scary inside
Inside a skeleton lays
Everyone who goes in,
The ghost will get you.
Could the castle be haunted?
Anyone who goes in Fyvie castle
Skeletons will be on you
Strong stone walls
Towers are very old.
Long, long ago noblemen lived in Fyvie Castle
Everyone who visits is scared.

It was a flat. In the lock there was half a key still in it. It smelt of alchool. There was a red bag with papers in it. The tele was on stand by. There was a picture of him fishing and a few fishing rods with red marks. Through in the kitchen there letter mangets saying “must pay bills”. There was a drawer open it was the cutlery drawer. There was a knife on the ground. There was muddy foot prints coming from the front door. The bins at the flat had been racked in. There was a hand in the bin. Through in the bedroom there was unicyle on the wall and a picture of him at the circus.There was a mirror and and drawers with make-up. At the shed there was half a bike and humongous shoes. There was flowers but no flower pot……………….

In the city of Liverpool is a very famous house which everybody wishes they could live in. As you walk into the house everything seems normal until you reach upstairs. Normally on the wall hangs a signed Pele shirt but today it is missing along with a captain’s arm band, which were framed, as they were from a cup final. These are irreplaceable because there is only one in the world.

Meanwhile someone came into the old Cottage and hid in the kitchen. Five minutes after, George came back in and went straight to the kitchen to get a drink, gladly the water was coming through! As he was away to go back to the window he got stabbed twice in the back. He was left to die in pain for 10 whole minutes.
Shortly after, he died. The killer took George’s body up the stairs. And put it in the room and locked it. About 3 months later the killer turned the old cottage into a museum. Plenty of people came to see the museum. It cost £12.00 for an adult and £2.00 for a child to come in and see the museum. But one day a family came into see the museum and the killer was giving them a tour of the house, he said “ and this is his room where he studied about birds”. The teenager was part of the family who were coming to see the museum went upstairs when you were not allowed up stairs.
She tried to open the door where George’s body was but it was locked. She went into the bathroom the bath was full of blood with a dead body lying in it. She screamed so loud, her mum and dad came running up the stairs, they asked her what was wrong? She pointed to the bath they all screamed. The killer ran up the stairs and killed them all!

I`m really looking forward to go to St Machar Academy because I want to feel a bit more grown up. I am really scared about getting lost and forgetting my honework. I`m also looking forward to wearing my new uniform. By Yerzhan

When I go up to the Academy I will miss all of my Primary school friends because I’m going to a different Academy from them, except from one of my classmates, Zachary. We are both going to Aberdeen Grammar School so I wont see my classmates as much, I’m sure I’ll bump into one of them at the town or at the carnivals, I will still see my best friends quite a lot outside such as Kimberley, Lauren M, Kirsty, Lauren F and Savannah. When I go up to the Academy I am looking forward to learning new things and meeting new friends and teachers. I’m not really worried about a lot just getting bullied. I have mixed emotions for going up to Academy, exciting and scared. By Leanne
When I go up to the Academy I will miss my frinds from primary school and the teachers in the school. I feel a bit nervous but excited at the same time. Most of my class are going to St Machar. Leanne and Zachary are going to the Aberdeen Grammar School . I will miss Leanne but might see her in the future. By Kimberley
