"Lily and Daisy's Adventure"
It was a boiling , hot , humid , morning in Turkey in Istanbul. In the middle of the city there lived a girl called Daisy. She wore a fluffy , white jacket and a bright , barbie pink crop top. She also wore a checker skirt. Daisy was very brave and she was kind as well. Daisy was very smart because her teacher said that she was the smartest girl in her class. Her favourite thing to do was taking part in gymnastics. Daisy had quite a small family, she had had a sister called Lily. She also had a mum called Nola . Daisy also loves watching the sunset. Oh by the way I forgot to mention that Daisy has white skin and light blue eyes like water. Daisy needed to get groceries so she went to go and get some. When she got there she saw her sister Lily. Lily was buying the sparkly shoes she saved up for days . Daisy said “ Hi “ to Lily. Lily said “ Hi “ as well. Daisy was so joyful to see Lily. In the grocery store Daisy needed to get bread , milk , cheese , cakes , and chocolate. While Daisy was getting those things she could smell fresh batches of home made bread, sweet cakes and stinky cheese.
Suddenly a man grabbed Daisy. Daisy screamed for help! The man took Daisy to a creepy , strange dungeon. Daisy was so scared as he was so scary. In the dungeon the walls were pitch black and the floors are dark grey. The bars in the dungeon are extra layered and rock hard. Daisy thought she would never get out !!!
Quick as a flash , a girl showed up in a black and white costume. The girl turned around and showed her face. To daisy’s shock It was Lily! Daisy was so grateful to see Lily. Lily quickly opened the bars from the other side and took daisy. She ran out speedily with Daisy. Lily had her electric scooter with her so she grabbed Daisy and put her on the back of the scooter and drove all the way back home, Lily felt so heroic. Daisy felt pleased to be home and Nola felt glad for her kids to be home. A few weeks later a news report came out on the TV. the Report said a kidnaper been found kidnapping children so he’d been taken to jail by the police. Daisy knew that the kidnapper was behind bars so she could sleep soundly at night.
Upper Key Stage 2
"Rosalyn and the Unknown Book "
Leaves were whispering in the breeze, as a young girl named Rosalyn stepped into the town’s old library, a grand building filled with towering shelves full of incredible books and secret reading nooks. Here, she always discovered the most extraordinary stories filled with unforgettable characters and magnificent locations.
As she browsed silently through the dusty shelves, Rosalyn stumbled upon a book unlike any other. Its cover was adorned with luminous images of the ocean’s depths and the title read, ‘The Secrets of the Unknown World’. Intrigued, Rosalyn opened the book, when suddenly, the book started to shimmer brightly. At that moment, her feet lifted off the ground. She was floating. Then, a rasping voice asked her to step inside. Then, everything went pitch black…
Before she knew it, she found herself standing in a luscious rainforest surrounded by beauty. She could hear brightly coloured birds chirping loudly and the sound of a nearby waterfall playing with the rocks. The scent of damp earth and beautiful blooming flowers filled the air. Towering trees stretched high above her stroking the sky and the leaves formed a fantastic canopy that filtered the sunlight into a soft glow. It was breathtaking!
All of a sudden, a figure of an unknown person appeared, slowly approaching from within the dense rainforest. Suddenly, everywhere went silent. Rosalyn now could no longer hear the birds singing or the movement of magical creatures and the raging waterfall. Suddenly, she started to hear voices, Rosalyn’s face turned as pale as wax as she stepped backwards away from the frightening voice. She could now hear movement, but not the movement she hoped to hear, because it was coming from the unknown person approaching closer than before. A shiver darted down her spine. She closed her eyes tightly and waited for death to take her away.
“Are you okay, little girl?” Asked a different voice. Rosalyn slowly opened her eyes to see a young girl with hazel eyes shining like diamonds. “I’m Lily. Are you get stuck in this unknown world too? “Asked the kind voice. The unknow figure had magically disappeared.
“Stuck? Are you saying we’re going to be here forever?” Rosalyn gasped.
“Um… I’m afraid so. Anyway, are you okay?” Questioned Lily putting her arm around Rosalyn.
Just then, the rain turned angry and the howling wind that brushed Rosalyn’s long blonde hair started to whoosh wildly through her locks. Quickly, the girls ran away to find shelter. That night, lightning danced above the rain forest, while Rosalyn waited for the morning to call her to awake.
