Farm Boy by Michael Morpurgo

Farm Boy

Farm Boy is the sequel to the book War Horse by Michael Morpurgo. It is all about this boy (Albert's son) who visits his grandfather. While he is there his grandfather reveals his shameful secret, which is that he cannot read or write. So, the grandson agrees to dedicate a few months to teaching his grandfather, but he has to learn fast because the boy was planning to go to Australia for a few months. After the few months had gone by he was able to do it thanks to the long hours he put in.

When the boy is on the way to Australia he finds a letter in his bag written by his grandfather. The letter was talking about how he won the tractor. It all started when the grandfather and his son, Albert, were riding on their beloved horses. Stopping them in their tracks was Harry Medlicott, one of the citizens in the town, telling them how useless their horses were and how they should trade them for tractors. Albert, who was very defensive towards his horses, made a bet that if the tractor won in a ploughing race Mr Medlicott would get their best hay, but if he won he would come home with the tractor. Mr Medlicott agreed to this contest as well as find it quite amusing because surely two, old horses could not beat a brand new tractor.

When the day came Albert prepared Joey and Zoey, the two horses, and were off. At first Mr Medlicott was racing through, but after they had their lunch break Mr Medlicott's tractor would not start. This gave Albert a great advantage. Once he was rows and rows of fields ahead the tractor started again. Despite the delay quite shortly Mr Medlicott was in the lead. Eventually Albert could carry on no longer and his father had to finish the race. Just when were all going to loose hope, the tractor got stuck in mud. Quickly the grandfather (or now father) rushed through as many rows as possible when the judge ordered the race to be stopped. They counted up the rows and Albert and his father won! Just by one row! They went home and had the tractor ever since.

A spooky story by Klaudia

The haunted house of  DEATH!!!!

Nobody had been into the old stadium since it closed down six years earlier. Driving past it on their way to the sparkling new stadium on the ring road, people would barely give it a second glance. Until the night that three children decided it would be fun to camp on the old pitch. Once it was dark, they climbed over the fence and made their way to what used to be the centre circle. That was when the fun really began. Not to be fun after all. 

    Everything was really misty and spooky now the three children understood that this place was not open for a reason

100 Word Challenge- part 2

This week, your challenge is to end your story with the line  '... and with a crash, the tree toppled to the ground at last.'

Remember, the words I have written DO NOT count in your total. Also, if you cut and paste the story to Microsoft Word and use the 'Wordcount' tool, it is much quicker than counting the words yourself.

Haiden- I want to see you enter this week!

Good luck. Mr Biddle

News Report by Kye Ives-Keeler

MEDAL MYSTERY SOLVED!

Between Friday night and Monday morning,  Mrs Burroughs, from West Earlham Junior School, discovered that her MBE medal was either stolen or missing. She came straight to Year 6 to get them to put up posters around the school. Luckily, it was found on Tuesday by Mr  Creighton, the site supervisor.

It all started as Mrs Burroughs went into the school support base, and discovered that her MBE medal wasn't on her desk where she left it. Mrs Burroughs said "I couldn't believe it, I was really distraught. It was given to me by the queen."

Early on Tuesday morning (approximately 6:00), Mr Creighton was checking the field as usual. He then noticed a small cardboard box. As he opened it, he found the MBE medal. "I was just so shocked to find it," said Mr Creighton.

Mr Creighton later on returned it to to Mrs Burroughs. Her first words were "Oh my goodness, I am so relived, at least I can sleep tonight."

If you think you know who stole the MBE medal, contact West Earlham Junior school immediately. 

My frying pan adventure......by Caitlyn

Suddenly a terrifying bang echoed through the hallway... Petrified, I walked carefully out of my room, with my emergency frying pan at the ready. An eerie shadow trickled through the into the hall. It seemed to creep into my living room, almost as if it didn't want to be seen. WHACK! I swung wildly, and the shadow fell to the floor with a gargantuan thud. 

Straight after, I switched the light on- only to reveal it was my Mum (who, for some reason, had my key). Eventually she came around, with my dog licking her face. As she was so dazed, she asked me what the frying pan was there for. I didn't really want to let on that it had been me who hit her, so I told her in a gentle, sweet way that I was cooking her a nightime fry up. I then explained to her that she must have fallen off the sofa. Did she believe me? I really don't know.

100 Word Challenge 1 by Mrs Smith

Wow! Year 6 your stories are amazing! I couldn't resist having a go at this challenge myself as I love to write stories too.

The dragon woke up slowly and peered into the gloom. Listening deep into the deserted tunnels, he anxiously awaited the clanking echoes of armour, cold steel and naïve youth.
Extending his battle ravaged wings; he released a rumbling sigh that spoke of a life filled with anger and regret. He remembered the stories of his ancestors, legends of mighty dragons conquering evil along side proud, loyal knights.
But that’s all they were; stories of another time that could never be repeated.
Gathering himself to his full height, Mordagon, the last of his kind, prepared once again for the cruelty he must endure until his time ends.

Ben's Spooky Story

And that was when the fun began! Not.
When the three boys got to the centre circle, they decided to pitch their tent there."What are you doing boys?" yelled a booming voice.

"Nothing!"shrieked Steve.

"Don't tell me lies boys I know what you are doing." exclaimed the voice. Then they looked around hoping it would just be his imagination, however it wasn't.

"Hello... there's no one here" exclaimed Dan. 

"LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!!!" hollered a mysterious man.

Then he appeared from the sky in front of them."What the...? where did you come from?" yelled Jim. 

"I was here all the time, I'm here to save you from the evil footballer. By the way, I'm George the ghost hunter," exclaimed George.

George explained to the boys "Legend says that Harry Smith, also known as Harry the hacker, died on the pitch approximately eighty years ago during the cup final in this very stadium. And on that very spot where your tent is set up!"

"I've heard this before!" commented Dan.

"Every year when the cup final is due to be played, he comes back to haunt the stadium and anyone who dares to set foot in it! That's why they built a new stadium!" exclaimed Jim.

"I guess he's here to haunt you this time," said George 

"He doesn't like people being here does he George?" exclaimed Steve.

While the boys were talking to George, some eerie noises came from around the stadium. It sounded like cheering. But then a seat from the stands came flying towards them!

"Duck!!" yelled Geoge. He pushed the boys out of the way as the seat crashed onto the small crooked tent.

"I don't think I want to stay here," mumbled Jim.

"Don't be silly," said steve. 

"It will be fun!" stated Dan 

"Fun??" said Jim. "I don't think so!"

"I don't think you should be here. Go home now boys ok? It's for your own good," interrupted George.

The boys decided to pack up the tent and head home. As they were packing up, Harry the hacker apperead in front of them. He was wearing a football kit and carrying a football.

"George! Help us!" shouted the boys.

Geoge was standing behind the ghost of Harry the hacker. He pointed a machine at the ghost and then said "I'm sorry Harry, you're haunting has come to an end." He pushed the button on the machine and Harry was gone. The boys breathed in a sigh of relief. 

As they went to thank George for saving them, he was nowhere to be seen! Was he a ghost too?? the boys thought. They had had enough adventure for one day and decided to go home quick! As they were walking across the pitch, they saw a football fly into the right hand corner of the goal! The stadium was filled with the sound of cheering.

I wonder if that was Harry the hacker scoring a goal...??

Stomping out his cave he wildly flapped his scaly wings and flew down to town. Swooping down, he landed near the gleaming knight’s castle. With a ball of boiling fire the fierce Dragon roared at the stranger, creeping around the corner the Dragons fire ball hit the ancient man.
Suddenly, the knight came sprinting out of his slumped castle and saw his father lying on the ground, a tear dripped down his face.
