but it seemed to be going backwards, by Bradley H

My name is Jim and I like to drive cars. Don't ask why but I do. My job is to go around in a car selling mysterious things like magical mirrors or fortune tellers... I woke up last week thinking I don't get paid enough for this job(£6.50 an hour!) "Maybe if I ride a better more classic looking car I may get payed a little more," I thought... So the day after that I went on a really boring four hour drive to the car bank (a car store) in my car but it seemed to be going backwards...

It was exactly 10 minutes until the plane left for America. I was going to visit mum. I stood in the line leading towards the plane. Everyone was minding their own business, having their passports checked and their suitcases weighed. When I boarded, I looked for my seat. It was a window seat and I soon settled. We took off and quickly reached altitude. Suddenly, the plane jolted. I checked to see if the plane was still moving and it sure was, but it seemed to be going backwards! Everyone screamed as the plane screeched back down to the ground...

Today was the day when the daddy flame dragon came back for revenge. I got up out of my bed as usual and went over to the mysterious lake. There was a sign on the side of the lake which said, “Don’t jump in or you will drown!” but the water seemed to be going backwards and I was wondering what on earth was going on. All of a sudden a colossal flame dragon rose from the water and blew flames at whatever it could see, then I said to myself, “Is this the dad of the flame dragon?”

I was sat in my house with my three sisters, we were waiting for our dad who was coming back from work as he walked in he brought us a present. We all opened it together and it was a clock. “... but it seemed to be going backwards,” I said.  
Moment later, I was getting my pjs on and the clock was in our room. As we slept we could hear the clock ticking, I picked it up and took it outside of our room and I slept in peace. But when I woke up the next morning it was gone! 

but it seemed to be going backwards, by Mason

So, the day started off like a normal day would until I looked at the clock. It looked normal but it seemed to be going backwards so I thought it was nothing but when I went outside. The whole world was backwards! How did it turn out like this I asked to myself? I went back inside and then turned the clock hand and... everything went back to normal so I went to school and guess what? The clock at school was backwards so I just left it and got on with my work. 

but it seemed to be going backwards, by Roxanne F

As I walk home from school, in the cold winters air, I shiver down my cramped little street. I hug the warmth of my coat as tight as possible – no wonder the ice cream truck wasn’t here today. 
 Just as I put the key in the door lock, I realize there’s something in the distance. It was a van, a large white van in the middle of the road, but it seemed to be going backwards....! This of course was a bad thing. It’s only a small street! It could crash or hurt somebody!

but it seemed to be going backwards, by Harry

I was getting ready to go on holiday with my amazing family. I was so excited for my holiday because I have never been on a plane before. I wonder what it will be like because I am flying in first class. It is eventually time to leave the house and set off to the airport, unfortunately we missed the flight and I had to catch the next one. I finally got on the plane I thought the plane was meant to go forwards, but it seemed to be going backwards. I will never get to my destination, never ever.

…but it seemed to be going backwards… by George

Excitement filled the atmosphere. The 4x100 metres relay was about to begin. Three....two....one... BANG! The smoke from the starter’s gun gradually faded away. Sprinters from all different countries began their short but exhausting race. Suddenly everything came to a halt. The competitors that had been sprinting rapidly just froze. Time was no longer going forwards but it seemed to be going backwards. The stadium sluggishly drifted away from the runners, who looked like statues now. The competitors had an out of body experience where they could see themselves growing younger. They travelled back to happy times of being a child.

..but it seemed to be going backwards.......by Madi

In the distance, was a haunted looking house, that seemed like it was abandoned. I was with my best friends and we crept closer and closer. I got scared and told my friends that we should head home but they refused and kept tip-toeing towards the dark scene of horror. We stumbled closer and opened the dark, dusty gate before walking nervously through the entrance of the weird house. My friends led me into the part that looked like the living room and then I caught sight of a clock which was rotten, but it seemed to be going backwards.......

...but it seemed to be going backwards, by Sienna Y


Yesterday, something strange happened. I was looking up into the sky and I saw an aeroplane but it seemed to be going backwards. I thought this was very strange and something was very wrong. I live right next to an airport so I asked my mum if I could go and she said yes. I ran straight there and told the workers.
A few days later, I was watching the news and they were talking about a plane crash and how one plane was going backwards. I knew that it would be dangerous. Those ignorant workers didn’t listen to me.

…but it seemed to be going backwards… by Faith P

“Dad can you fix my clock please?” I said as I was leaving for school.
Dad was good at fixing things.
School was busy all day and we got homework. The last bell rang, I rushed home as I had so much other stuff planned.
I completed my homework and rushed my tea, at last my time.
Before I knew it I had to go to bed, I laid there and remembered my clock. I kept staring as it didn’t seem right, I rubbed my eyes and looked again but it seemed to be going backwards, I was so tired.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky, by Amelia,

Today was the day we been waiting for, our class teacher was going to take us to see a friendly alligator. All the kids were very excited to see such a creature. The day started so well as we travelled on a strange mauve coloured bus, but half way there our bus broke down with a blown tyre. Changing the tyre was very tricky said the teacher. When we arrived at the zoo, it was feeding time for the alligator. It climbed on top of the dead deer and ate it very quickly. The alligator was so hungry.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky, by Eleanor

My teacher got attacked by an alligator once, the alligator's skin was mauve;
My teacher got attacked by an alligator once, it had a car it always drove.
My teacher got attacked by an alligator once, to get away she climbed up high;
My teacher got attacked by an alligator once, she climbed up to the sky.
My teacher got attacked by an alligator once, to escape was tricky;
My teacher got attacked by an alligator once, the alligator's name was Ricky.
My teacher attacked an alligator once, she even swallowed it whole, 
Well, that's the story that she told! 

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky, by Kieran

Today I’m taking my pet alligator to school; I can’t wait to see my teachers face. Sneaking him in will be tricky. My teachers face went mauve with terror when he saw it. Just at that moment he chased my teacher around the field. My teacher climbed a tree to get away from the extremely scary alligator. My friends were all rolling on the floor laughing when suddenly the door flew open and the headteacher flew in at the speed of light. She shouted and the alligator ran away just as the tree snapped in two. Then she gave everyone a yellow card for being naughty.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Tom A

It's my first day at school today and I'm a bit nervous. I don't know anyone here and I have heard some weird rumours about my new teacher. I don't believe it though. "Right then, I'm here." I said  to myself as I climbed the pale stone steps. There are crowds of children around me that are tricky to manoeuvre through. They are wearing mauve coloured jumpers and bright white shirts. I walk in through the giant doors, turn left down a corridor and walk into my new classroom to find out... MY TEACHER IS AN ALLIGATOR! SHE IS HORRIFYING!

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Elizabeth M

Today was my first day of going to school. I was so excited to go and meet new friends and also to meet my teacher. We did a fact sheet on our first day to show our teacher about ourselves and I wrote as much as I could about my favourite things and explained that my favourite animal is an alligator and my favourite colour is mauve. I was worried that the work might be to tricky on my first day but that morning a boy climbed over a dangerous fence which took my mind off how hard the work was.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Bradley H

This story is about an alligator named Mauve (a weird name for an alligator I know but just go with it.) Mauve is a teacher at The Richmond School and at this moment in time he's teaching the year ones how to cook -oh dear.
 "KIDS..." twenty seconds later, "where are the kids?" Eventually he got sacked and moved to a camping club, you know the cheap ones where you climbed mountains without ropes! The next day everyone at camp (two people and an alligator)  It was the alligators turn to be climbing but it was very very tricky...

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky, Erin

A tired teacher went to school wearing a mauve jumper. She was very nervous because it was OFSTED day and all the students didn't know. They were going to be so nervous. As soon as she told the class they knew it would be tricky to impress them. But little did they know that an alligator escaped the zoo that day and it was heading to their school. When the alligator was seen by people they went on lock-down and since they never practised people climbed on tables screaming it was chaos. Now.......they're........eaten!!!

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Kaitlin B

There lived an alligator called Bob and he was a teacher, he worked at The Richmond School. He had a class of 30 and everyone in his class had mauve coats. The next day they took their coats off and sat down quietly, Bob gave them a maths test. They finished it but it was very tricky. After the test it was play time and a girl called Lucy climbed up the steep climbing wall. Suddenly, she fell off it so Bob came and helped her up and took her to first aid and all she did was hurt her leg. 

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Roxanne

My teacher gave me this homework, I wondered what to write about... maybe an odd one out alligator with mauve purple skin? Or a brave, but kindhearted man who climbed a gigantic mountain!

These ideas filled my head, like a flood of amazing stories! This is quite a challenge...! Yet I realise, that year 6 will be a challenge... after all I do need to think about how hard high school will be.
Yet this is getting trickier than tricky as I still don’t know what to put next, but I hope you enjoyed my preview text!

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Taylor C

One day at an ordinary school there was a teacher with super powers. She is mauve. Everyone knows that she is an alien because of her colour. The next day, there was an alligator and he was gigantic. The children had to go home and some of the children fainted. The teacher, who is called Rook, lured the alligator to a mountain and she climbed to the top. Ragnarok the alligator followed and then they had a battle it took ages for the battle to end, day by day they fought it was very tricky it, was awesome.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Faith P

As we arrived on a guided mountain hike waiting in line to get our tickets I saw my teacher, she came across and started talking to my parents.

A few minutes later it was our turn to begin the hike. As we climbed we started to make stories up about the interesting shaped rocks along the way, some were tricky to climb over.

Looking on ahead you could see the many shades of coloured rock, some looked mauve. Then I saw a huge shaped boulder which looked like an alligator biting someone’s head off! This adventure was so much fun.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Ellie

One day, lived an alligator, his name was Matt. He was bored one day and decided to go for a walk, to The Richmond School, Skegness. He noticed that they needed a new year 6 teacher, he thought he would be just the person. So, he went inside and asked. The office said, "YES!" The office was surprised because he was mauve. Mrs Wellsted showed him round.  He got bored after a few days, so he decided to leave. He climbed the walls up to the window at the top off the roof - I would have found that tricky.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky by Lewis


One day Lewis and Daisie went on a school trip with the class to a place called Alligator Land, it took two hours to get there.  Once we arrived the teacher asked us to make sure we had everything we needed off the bus before we went to explore. Whilst there we saw a nice mauve and green alligator which climbed up the sides where it was kept. It was a bit tricky as the alligator kept climbing back down. There were a lot of alligators and we had a really great day but it was time to go back to the coach and head back to school ready for our parents waiting for us.

Teacher Alligator Mauve Climbed Tricky, by Madi

One ordinary, sunny afternoon my wonderful teacher let us all out to break as we had just finished a really hard test. Minutes later, after I had started running around with freedom, all of a sudden, I caught sight of a mauve alligator that had just climbed a really rough, brown wall and it had got stuck! I knew it would be tricky for the slightly puzzled alligator to get out of what seemed a terrible situation but I thought that it would bite me if I went and helped it. So off I went to find my amazing teacher...

The Giant by Bradley

This story is about a very badly treated creature (a giant) who happens to have powers to either zap themselves up into the clouds or down into the ground and if you are a giant not powerful enough you could get stuck in the ground or sky! The next morning, the giant came across the Royal Air Force trying to bomb him and possibly capture him... What he then decided to do was grab a huge nail - that giants happen to have and accidentally zaps himself into the ground but unfortunately for him he was not as powerful as the others...

Hands by Elizabeth M

A hundred years ago a giant fell out of the sky but no one knew why. He landed underground and got stuck. People have always wondered where he was. Yesterday he tried to get out. After hours of trying to get out he started to make progress. He started to see the sunlight, he knew he was getting somewhere. The giant then got one hand out and then his other hand out and was able to grab a massive rope. As soon as he grabbed the rope the giant and the rope instantly turned to stone for ever.

Hands by Roxanne

This unknown figure could be ANYTHING! A giant’s hand reaching out of the ground, or a statue buried in the ground... no one knows and they might not ever do... it contains a mystery for now...
The silk smooth hands look to be carved and sculptured with its twisted knot in its stick – whoever made this is truly talented, but then again someone may not have made it. It might have just appeared or maybe it has been there since the founding of the place where it lies. People stare as the questions take place.
“What is it?”

Hands by Harley

One day a giant fell from the sky and got stuck into the ground. As he was trying to exit the ground he started to struggle breathing for a moment and then he froze into the ground. His hands were poking out of the ground with a colossal nail that was helping him dig out of the ground. He felt himself shake up every single day because of all the people climbing on him and stamping their feet next to him. Every day the giant got more annoyed and then one day he started to turn into stone.

Hands by Tom A

Let me take you back 1 million years ago, when Rock Giants roamed the earth. They were extremely dumb creatures. Not even creatures! More like, things... Rock Giants were very fond of rope. They would chew it, put it up their nose and even rub it all over their body! But what they liked to do best was turn it into stone. That was what this Rock Giant did before a great earthquake occurred, making a huge fissure. He dropped his rock rope in, jumped down after it and held it above his head as the fissure closed, sealed forever...

Hands by Eva

As the sun was rising over the town, people were rushing along and making their way to work but they came across a very large mysterious sculpture of two giant metal hands in the middle of the street. What are they doing there, people asked? Everyone in the town was extremely confused but carried on to where they needed to go. What is it in between the hands? It looked like maybe a stick or a rope. I wonder what it could be? I might have to go back later and have another look to investigate these two magnificent hands.  

Hands by Madi

Dark grey hands twisted together in a colossal town filled with lots of people, distracting them from their glorious day but fascinating them with the enormous scene.  Its hands look so real that the wrinkles on the palms were created! I don’t know whose they are but I'm guessing they might be a giant’s! I think they are holding on to a very twisty huge rope which looks as thick as a dark brown tree trunk. You can see the joints of the huge hand but the skin is incredibly rough just like a dark coloured painted room. It's amazing! 

Hands by Fatima

This hand is just stone. Nobody owns it. People have their own hands so they probably don’t want a pair of stone hands. It’s underground because it’s just made like that so it looks cooler and amazing so the people who see it will take pictures and it might get more popular. The realistic pair of stone hands are holding a short type of rope that has a dark shade of grey covering it the two ends are not drooping so it’s very unusual perhaps it’s just part of how it’s made I don’t really know but it is still nice.

Hands by Faith P

After looking for ages at the sculpture in front of me I was intrigued to find out more about its meaning and history, so I went home and decided to begin my research straight away.

I found out it is a sculpture of a pair of giant hands which are over 10 feet tall known as ‘All Hands’ They were created by Brian Fell made out of welded steel in 2001. The hands represent the canal workers from Cardiff docks pulling their boats along with heavy ropes and are located above an old underground canal in central Cardiff, South Wales.

...but what colour should it be? Fatima

I am getting a new pencil case but what colour should it be? Some of my friends like blue and red and I like both so I can’t really decide so to solve this problem I won’t choose any of those colours I'll choose....... yellow this is the right colour I am sure my friends won’t mind anyway it’s just a pencil case, I’m sure nobody would care what colour it is. I can't wait to show my friends. I hope my teacher still lets us bring pencil cases or I just wasted 20 minutes over a pencil case.

...but what colour should it be? by Eleanor

It was a Friday, and I was looking forward to my first spy mission, so after the sun had gone down I set off to headquarters.  I was on the way to the case. I had to be fast as it was a serious crime. A bomb had been planted and we needed to defuse it before it exploded!  I worked at the bomb while everyone escaped. TIC, TIC, TIC. I needed to be quick. TIC, TIC, TIC. All I needed to do was cut the wire but what colour should it be?  I cut blue... BOOM! Oops, wrong wire!  

...but what colour should it be? by Emerson W

At midnight on September 5th a strange animal appeared out of nowhere. It had a zebra shaped head on top of a scaly rigid body. I couldn't quite make out what colour it was but what colour should it be?  It was pitch black, so I couldn't see all of its body but wherever it was it didn't give itself away. I ran for my life and it began to chase me. By the time I got to the end of the creepy football pitch daylight was beginning to shine. Through the daylight I could make out that it had fragile curved horns. Why was it out in the wild?

...but what colour should it be? by Michael S

Today is the last day of the first week of year 6! I have had so much fun in the first week. We used TTRockstars which was amazing! When I first got my pencil case I was thinking... but what colour should it be? I am used to using a notebook since I use them everyday including my home days. One thing I was confused about, was when I first saw the set-up for the chairs and where we sit. Finally, we figured it out and it went kind of well. Shortly after we were sitting and ready for some learning.

...but what colour should it be? by Madi S

I’ve always thought about this, but what colour should it be? Every night, when I lie in my soft, comfy bed I always think about having a little fluffy, cute dog, but I never really know what colour it should be. I never ask my boring mum because I know she won’t help! So, I’m only stuck with my opinion, (which I unfortunately don’t think is any good!) My favourite colour is orange or ginger but I'm not sure that’s the best colour for a little dog. I wish my mum was useful so she could give me some help.  

...but what colour should it be? Faith P,

 It was finally Saturday, I woke up early as I was excited my new bike was being delivered.  
 A few days earlier, I went to Halfords with my dad to get a new bike. I found the perfect one but it was in blue and I wanted green, the man said we can order one in green so we did.  
The van pulled up outside, the bike was wheeled up to the door, “Oh no!” I shouted It’s the wrong colour. 
The man said, “But what colour should it be?” 
 Luckily, they had the right one still in the van. 

...but what colour should it be? by Erin S

"But what colour should it be?" thought the two twins Emme and Emma. They had very different personalities. Emme loved pink and sparkly stuff and Emma loved the colour black and horror movies. Emme shouted, “Pink!” and Emma shouted, “Black!” Suddenly their mum walked in and said, “Split the room and paint one side pink and one side black!" The twins agreed and bought the paint. They got home and decided who got what side. 
The next day they started moving everything out of the room and painted. As the day finished they remembered it was their birthday party tomorrow.

continuing from:here.


The flame dragon was getting mad at this point and all of a sudden started waving the river around and it started to change colours. Then I thought to myself, but what colour should it be? And then the river stopped changing colours and turned into a diamond green colour. After I admired the diamond green river, the dragon was nowhere to be seen and all of a sudden the dragon came up behind me and tried to kill me but in the slightest bit of time I managed to get away. (I decided to defeat it another day.)

...but what colour should it be? by Bradley H,

It's now only a few days until my game at Wembley and I still need a creative football shirt but what colour should it be? Yellow, orange, green who knows? At this point I was absolutely baffled. 
Two days later, I was preparing for the national anthem before the game (taking singing lessons...) After all that my singing still wasn't quite, you know good. I still sounded like a constipated ostrich getting strangled (which as you could imagine doesn't sound that nice!) This meant I'm going to embarrass myself in front of millions of people. We'll just have to see tomorrow...

...but what colour should it be? by Tom A

I stared at the made up creature I was creating. I had pretty much finished making the thing. Its bulgy eyes and deformed lips. Its fluffy fur and giant claws. But what colour should it be? Maybe black with a little bit of purple or red? Or red with some blue and green? But then it came to me. It should have brown fur, red eyes, green lips and black claws. They are good colours for a mythical creature. Aren't they? Or maybe red fur, brown eyes, black lips and green claws? Finally, I reached for my palette and began.

But what colour should it be? by Scarlet P

One stormy night, a gold letter came through the letterbox. Lola opened it and it read, ‘You have been invited to meet Leonardo da Vinci. On the 4th of September. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.’ She was so happy! It had always been her dream to meet him and now she finally will. 
The day of meeting Leonardo da Vinci came, when she got there she realised the painting wasn’t quite finished. He saw her, and he looked upset, so she told him that’s really good! Like really, really good. But what colour should it be??? He did not know.

STAIRS RIVER PINK COOKED NERVOUS by Faith

After I had eaten my cooked tea I heard an almighty crash coming from the other side of the river, I rushed outside where I joined my neighbours to find out what it was.
We crossed the bridge to the old house that had been for sale for years, I gently pushed on the opened flaky pink door and we carefully entered the house. It was full of cobwebs, I was so nervous to what we may find.
As we turned to the unstable twisting stairs we realised it was the back roof that had caved in, What a mess!

STAIRS RIVER PINK COOKED NERVOUS by Harley

I went on to fight the dragon but I was too nervous to do it so I decided to go back to my house and go up my pink stairs so I could think of a plan to defeat the dragon. Before I went to it I cooked myself a delicious meal. I went off to fight the dragon and I realised it was swimming in a gooey river so then I thought I’m not going to jump in there so then I thought that I could throw something at it, so I did and it didn’t go well!

STAIRS RIVER PINK COOKED NERVOUS, by Bradley


I am a little nervous for my football game in a few weeks but luckily I will have my friends and family's support. As I finished up my dinner that night I was feeling quite sick because it was my BROTHER who cooked so I decided to go up my pink stairs and tiredly lay on my red and yellow Manchester United bed cover and drifted off to sleep. The next morning, we went to sit by the river and as we arrived and came through the entrance I saw my favourite football player Alexis Sanchez (who is the best...)

STAIRS RIVER PINK COOKED NERVOUS by Tom


I felt very nervous when it came to crossing that river. Deadly pink fish lurked at the bottom of the bubbling water. I had an idea of how to get over the river, but it was very risky. It was my only option. I had to jump. Slowly, I walked backwards to give myself a run up. I lunged forward towards the murky river and jumped higher than I had ever jumped before. I landed with such force that I nearly threw up the cooked breakfast I consumed earlier that morning! Looking up, I saw stairs leading to a house...
