Muddy Mysterious Feet

Muddy feet
Hunting a tasty treat

I hope I am not for tea
Quick, I hide behind an old oak tree

A scaly beast plods past
As tall as a ships mast

Teeth as sharp as pins
It back a row of scaly fins

Snarling nose, giant feet
This monster will be hard to beat

Suddenly I jump out and BOO!!!!
Off the dragon quickly flew

Hooray I cheer
The villages can now live without fear

Sneakily, I strolled through the mysterious forest off on my biggest adventure yet. I saw something and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was shocked to death that I had seen something nobody had seen before. What was it? I stood a bit closer to see what it was. It looked like a dinosaurs footprints but it couldn’t be because dinosaurs are extinct. Finally I found what it was. It was a sea monster’s footprints. There must be a river near here. I had to think of a plan and fast. I’ve got it. This is amazing. But what if the sea monster catches me before I get to him. I started following the footprints. An hour later I was two metres away from the river. I couldn’t stop thinking about what my mum and dad would think when they knew I had got eaten up by a sea monster.

Cautiously, I slipped down into the spooky damp forest. I wasn’t sure if I should have done this but there was no turning back now. Carefully walking through the squishy mud below me, but no ordinary mud, it had some sort of tracks in it. What sort of tracks were they? Following the tracks I wondered, would they be a wolves, a dragons or even a swamp monsters! Suddenly the tracks stopped, where did they go? This time I walked very slowly, I heard a twig snap. Aaarrrrrhhhh!

The Vicious Dragon
Once there lived a vicious dragon named Fiery who lived in a muddy lake. One night Fiery crept out of the water and went into the dark, wet and creepy forest. The leaves rustled as he walked across the floor. He started flying but he didn’t see what was coming. BUMP! He bashed in to a tree. “Ouch,” Fiery shouted. Suddenly his terrifying mum woke up. She was gutted to see her vicious son had gone. ”HELP!” she bellowed, “my son has gone”. “Husband wake up our son has vanished.” ”Not now” “YES now,come on. Don’t be a lazy bones” Eventually he got up. They thought about where he could have gone. It must be the forbidden dark ,wet and creepy forest. ”No time to waste”, cried mother dragon. After a few minutes they found him with a bright red nose. “Are you ok?” asked Fiery’s father, “Time to go home.”

An exellent story by Elliot. Brilliant use of speech marks. He used what we have been learning in the last two days.

Out of the water come four muddy feet.
If you listen carefully you heard my heart beat.

What is this creature a dog or a cat?
It could be a dragon or a monster sized rat!

Where’s it going and where has it been?
It comes out at night because it doesn’t want to be seen.

I wanted to discover what it could be.
So I got my torch and climbed up a tree!

I sat in the tree six until late.
Every night for one week and it still made me wait.

I got so fed up of waiting around.
Until one night I heard a sound!

I grabbed my torch and ran as fast as I could .
As I was sure the sound was coming from the wood.

I looked behind me and saw the beast
It was a fire breathing dragon and I was it’s feast.

Amazing. Such high quality and inspired pieces of literature. James L-B, Jack S, Ben S, Elliot K, Olivia N very proud to see pupils of our class choosing to create works like these in their own time.
And your right Jack! Elliot has used this weeks lessons on using direct speech brilliantly in his piece.

One spooky night I went strolling through the woods and spotted some footprints. I thought to myself, “what animal could be lurking in the shadows?”
Could it be a ferocious alligator ready to snap at it’s next prey? Or a giant gecko creeping in the trees, staring at any insect that crossed it’s path. Shaking with fear, I knew I had to continue my journey to find out who these footprints belonged to. As I snook past a huge tree I heard an unusual noise and stopped… Out of the corner of my eye I spotted something moving in the bushes ahead. It was so fast I couldn’t quite work out what it was but somehow it looked familiar. My heart was pounding but I continued to creep silently towards the bushes. Suddenly it appeared… ,’ IT WAS JUST A DUCK!’ Mystery solved.
