"Pixie Platform" By Jade M, Age 10, Class 3

**********************

Pixie Platform


In London, there was an abandoned Platform called Pixie Platform. It was never called Pixie Platform, it’s just that everyone calls it now, after it happened after the Pixies came.


Well it was a long time ago when the platform was actually called Platform number one… the only platform there. It was a very busy platform, never shut, so ever opened. It only had three train’s coming in and out everyday, that was why it was so busy because everyone had to wait so long to get a train and it was the closest railway station in miles for most of the people.

Anyway, back to the story… it must have been Platform one’s busiest day in years, but suddenly everything started to shake and an awful screech came from the dark tunnel and as one of the three trains came out of the tunnel and came to a holt. As the door of the train opened it was awfully quiet and the people in the station did not like it at all. A man poked his head in the door and looked around, nobody was there… then a huge, ugly, vial beast came out of the train and stretched out it’s big black wings. A man standing at the back wearing a long black cloak covering his face. He wiped the cloak off uncovering a big cross bow!

“What are they?” I asked the strange man,
“They're Harpy’s!” he shouted and then shot an arrow right at the Harpy.


As I turned around I saw the huge beast coming towards me and the man. It picked me up in its claws and threw me on top of the train and I got knocked out. When I woke up the man said to me, “Wake up! Come on wake up, we have to get out of here fast! The Harpy might come back with reinforcements!”

I got up and looked around, I couldn’t see my parents, all I saw were around 20 people standing below me whispering.

“Where are my parents?” I asked,
“I don’t know little girl, the power went off when you where asleep and when the power came back on, lots of the people had gone, including your parents, now come down from there.” the man said.

I got up, I felt really dicey… the man jumped down and then told me to jump to him so I did. Then he took me to a woman called Mrs Nedia, she said I could call her Anita. She asked me what my name was and how old I was, I told her, “My name is Katharine Blin and I am five years old and I want my mum and dad!” I screamed.

Anita cuddled me and said that everything would be ok, I wanted to believe her but I know she was lying! Once we all got out, the police shut the Station Down, they boarded it up and put a tall wire fence around it so nobody would go back in. I went home with Anita, but a week later my Aunt Hannah came to take me home with her.

You are probable thinking why it is called Pixie Platform and I haven’t even mentioned pixies yet! Well when the Harpys came back they had a surprise. The Pixies, (which where very cheeky and noisy) had moved in before they could! Thousands of them, all lined up and ready to throw rotten fruit and vegetables at the Harpy’s, although the fruit and veg was bigger then them they where still scary. They had their little grinning faces on and their sharp nails that could easily cut someones skin. The Harpys retreated and never came back… everyone thinks that the pixies are still there, but nobody knows because nobody has been in there for years.

The End.

"There's No Such thing As Magic" By Jade M, Age 10, Class 3

***********************

There’s No Such Thing as Magic

Brandon, age nine, was a spoilt little boy.

“Mum!!!” he screamed. “Come here and turn the TV down for me!” “My hand hurts to much to do it!”

“But Brandon, you never turn it down by yourself, let alone turn it off and on!” his mum shouted at him, waving her duster in the air.

“Muuum!!!” “Turn the TV DOWN!!!” he shouted at his loudest.

“I don’t know why you want it turned down anyway, you can’t hear it over you!” she shouted, grabbing the remote control and putting it on mute. “If your not careful… the magic wizard will come and get yeah!” Brandon’s mum said putting the remote control back on the table.

“There’s no such thing as magic!” Brandon said, “Don’t you know anything Mum?”

“More then your ever know, young man.” She whispered as she walked out the room, “No such thing as magic, ha!”

That night, when Brandon was asleep the wind started to blow and one of the windows opened in Brandon’s bedroom and a little part of glitter dived into Brandon’s toy box. But suddenly a little toy solider jumped out of the box and walked over to Brandon’s bed and soon lots of little toys started to walk out of the box and gathered round the bed.

“Why are we here?” said a little old toy duck that I say, was rather battered from being thrown down the stairs by Brandon when he was younger.

“I am not that sure,” a little cuddly snake hissed at the duck.

“Come on, lets get lifting!” one of the soldiers said smiling, then picked up a corner of the bed.

“Umm, ok then.” an armadillo said, lifting up another corner of the bed.

Soon all the toys where lifting up the bed and it was starting to lift itself, soon it was off the ground and flying up and up all by it’s self. Soon it reached the window!!!

“Phew…” said a tiny wind up mouse. “Brandon’s really heavy!”

The bed flew out the window and disappeared into the fog…

“Mummy!!!” Brandon shouted when he woke up to see an old man with long white hair and a long white beard.

“Oh yes Brandon, your mother has told you about, me,” the strange man said.

“Are, are, you the magic Wizard?” Brandon asked, blinking several times.

“Yes, no such thing as magic, ha!” The magic wizard shouted and bashed his long bent stick onto the floor and Brandon disappeared into fine air! Just at the same minute, Brandon’s mum, who was laying in bed jumped up and shouted out, “THERES NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC!”

I’ll Deal With You


“Neenor, neenor!” Went the sirens on the TV.
“Wow, get those criminals!” said Bobby. “Smash ‘hem, thrash ‘hem, kill ‘hem!!!” he shouted again spitting all over the TV,
“Excuse me darling, did you say something?” asked Bobby’s Nan, who was in the next room. She was also quite deaf.
“Oh, just some opera on TV, Nanny!” he shouted trying not to laugh,
“Sing away darling, sing away. La, la, la la, la, laaaaaaaaaaa!” Nan screeched.
“Ouch, that sounds worst then Grate Aunt Mabyn’s singing.
“Pardon?” she asked again.
“Didn’t say a thing Nan!” he shouted bursting into laughter.
“You are naughty Bobby!” a voice said and then the magic wizard appeared! He slowly banged his long bent stick onto the ground and said,
“I will deal with you, how I dealt with Brandon!”
“Nooo!” Bobby shouted and he was gone!
“Did you say something darling” Nan shouted.
“Nothing, you won’t hear from me again!” the Wizard shouted and then went in a puff of smoke.
Noone knows where the magic wizard keeps all the naughty children, some say he sent them away to a magic cave in the middle of a blizzard.. that never stoppe!

"It's Secret" by Jade M, Age 10, Class 3

**********************

It’s Secret

I walk into my secret, magical, watery world and dive into the wide open ocean.
I run my fingers along the smooth sea bed, all I can hear is the sweet murmurs of magical Mermaids and the calls of stripy Zebra Seals talking to each over through the water.
But what is this? A sort of figure coming towards me, getting closer and closer! It is another person in my secret, magical, watery, world. I blink a couple of time just to make sure I am not dreaming, but I am definitely not dreaming! No one is allowed in my secret, magical, watery, world… and never should be.

"Sand of the Desert" by Jade M, Age 10, Class 3

.................................

Sand of the Desert


Bethany, who was 11 years old, was on her way to Somalia for a holiday with her Mum. They where just flying over Egypt when… everything started to shake and they slowly started to go down and down. People started to scream and then somebody shouted out, “Were going to crash!!!”

Then everyone started to panic, the lady came out of the cabin and said to everyone, “Please just remain in your seats, nothing is going to happen, please… do not panic!” but Bethany’s Mum shouted out…
“Well of course were going to panic… were gong to craaaaaaash!!!”

“Mum I’m scared.” Bethany whispered to her mum holding onto her arm. Bethany looked out the window, they where getting nearer and nearer to a big empty desert!!! Then it happened they hit the ground and rolled over several times.

But then everything went still it was so quiet, but then a lady shouted out…
“Ahhh, he’s bleeding, my husband is bleeding!”
“Please be quiet, he’s just cut his leg.” A man said, as if he knew what he was doing.

“Is everybody ok?” the cabin lady asked. Everyone nodded, then one lady got up out of her seat and tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t… it would not open. She kicked it and shouted, “Ahh… how are we post to get out of here!” The cabin lady walked up to her and said, “If you want to go out, you will have to use the emergency exit at the rear or the plane.” The lady opened up the door and looked outside, there was nothing, just lots and lots of sand.

“Were lost in a Desert.” Bethany said and looked outside, then frowned. They had no food and not water and everybody was hungry, that night everyone slept in the plane, but Bethany heard a noise outside so she went to see what it was. She poked her head around the open door and saw four men on camels walking past, “Hchew!” went Bethany. One of the men turned around and drew out a small dagger from his pocket and asked,
“What is your name?”
“B, B, Beth, Betha, Bethany,” She said jittering, “Bu, but yo, you can ca, call me Be, Beth f, for sho, short.”
“Well… B, B, Beth, Betha, Bethany, do your people mean harm?” the strange man asked, slowly putting away his dagger.
“Well, I don’t think so.” Bethany said laughing,
“Here,” the man said, giving Bethany two bottles of water, “You won’t be seeing some of this till a long time!” and then they all disappeared!!!


Bethany tipped some water into her mouth, knowing she wouldn’t be having some more until she was home, if she ever got home and then put the other bottle into her mum’s handbag.

The next morning when Bethany woke up she heard people shouting and saying,
“I wonder what it is?” she rubbed her eyes and looked outside. There was a massive hump of sand outside the plane,
“It must be around five feet tall!” a man said,
“Umm, more then that, seven or even eight feet!” another man said pulling down his cap, that particular man never took off his cap, he was always pulling it down over his face and huffing and puffing away.


Suddenly the wind blew and all the sand blew away, uncovering a small yellow pebble that didn’t shimmer or shine just sat there very dirty and looking pretty old and stupid. The man in the cap picked it up and threw it, it hit Bethany on the head.
“Owww!!!” she shouted, “That hurt.” She picked the pebble up and put it in her pocket.


An hour or so later the pebble started to shine and suddenly she was sitting on her couch, back in London.
“What!” she shouted,
“What’s wrong, darling?” Bethany’s mum asked.
“We, we were going on holiday and we crashed and, and…”
“Bethany, you must have been dreaming or something.”
“But I wasn’t.” Bethany whispered as her mum walked out of the room, “But I wasn’t!”
