As he started they... by Caitlin

“Cheer up,” said Harry’s dad as he passed his bedroom. Harry was fed up as he had been training for weeks for the fun run, but sadly he had broken his leg so now all his effort was worth nothing. Harry was so desperate to run in that race. Then his dad heard him talking so he decided to secretly ask if people who have crutches could still do the race. The next morning his dad said he could still take part. As he started they all cheered for him. He couldn't stop smiling as he was given a cup for the best effort.

Sports Day! by Aron

It was Sports Day at the Richmond School. As everyone was getting ready; the players stood in their lines. The crowds were huge! Some brought tables and chairs and some used school equipment. The crowd was chanting their child's house name. "Irving, Chapman, Holland and Martin!" As everyone was sitting in their seat, the game started! There was a man that was timing, so as he started they sped off in the speed of light! The race was close. The first one was winning, then the second and the next. Finally it was the last sprint and... Hurray, it was a tie!

One cold day in January they were walking through a enormous field that was all iced over. It had been a freezing cold night and all the puddles turned into ice, like magic. The two men and their dog were out walking. One of the men threw the ball on the ice by accident and then the dog chased the ball on to the ice and the dog started yelping for help. As he started they had to quickly but slowly crawl on the ice to rescue the dog. They all managed to get off safely with no harm done to them at all.

On Monday the worst day of the week I rushed out of bed got dressed, ate my breakfast and brushed my teeth. Then I set off to mind-numbing old school but as I did I saw a thief trying to rob the bank. Suddenly blue hulk and purple hulk, the best hulks appeared, so as he started they grabbed an arm each, yanked them out of their sockets and crushed the revolting thief’s skull. After I had seen that I hurried off to school and told everyone about what I had witnessed but no one in the school believed me.

Saturday was big race day, everyone came in fancy dress. Some had come early to be near the front. The crowds started filling up. Everyone was looking at the starter for him to shout GO! As he started they went and everyone began sprinting. Some fell over, someone tripped over their laces but people just carried on running, after an hour Forrest Gump was in the lead, Mo was second and I was third. “Run, Forrest run!” people were shouting as we battled for the finish line I used every muscle I had and overtook them I had won, I had actually won.

This Christmas we stayed with family in a big cottage near Harrogate and on Christmas morning I awoke to find a lovely pile of presents just for me. I could see a huge box which made me really excited, as I tore off the paper I saw a picture of a fast Nitro powered remote control truck. Later that day we got the truck going and I nicknamed it "BOB!", as he started they all looked in amazement on how fast Bob tore across the grass field where I had so much fun controlling it. Later as it got dark it began to snow.

A while ago I went to the Peak District and it was amazing, they had the highest mountains I had ever seen in my life. We had a holiday house in a small village and my bedroom was a single bed for me and my brother had a single bed on the other side of the room. My dad made toast and as he started they (the cows) started mooing, they also did that all night. In the holiday house there was a  games room round the back of the house and it had a darts board and loads of board games. There was also a TV.  

The incredible race by Kieran

The 2012 Olympic Games, 100 metre final was about to get under way, in lane 1 Linford Christie was taking his position, next to him in lane 2 was Usain Bolt and in the 3rd lane Carl Lewis. When the whistle was blown the racers set off, but Usain was the fastest starter and was soon charging towards the finish line! He was running at over 20 mph, as he started they (the crowd) started cheering. And in less than 10 seconds he had crossed the finish line and won! What an incredible race it will go down deep in history.

Sports day was coming up and Adam was determined to win the 80 metres race. There was just one very big problem, he was a really slow runner. He really wanted to win, so everyday after school he went to the sports ground and practised.

Finally the day arrived. The 80 metres race was starting and everyone had their eyes on Adam. As he started they began to laugh. At first he was coming last. He was so angry he worked up his speed and ran as fast as the speed of sound right to the finish line and he actually won the race!

It was the 4x100 metre relay 2012 in the Olympics. All the teams were ready to start. Usain Bolt settled in his position. The gun was about to be fired. As he started they crouched down ready to win. The gun fired and the team leapt off the starting line. They dashed as quickly as they could to the next person. Usain was first to reach his teammate. Eventually, all the teams got to the final person. Jamaica was slightly in front of the others. Germany tried to pull in front but lost his grip. Jamaica easily won the race.

For Christmas I got a diary but when I put the batteries in it suddenly I whizzed of to a different place at first I couldn't make out where I was but then I saw people carrying heavy blocks of stone. I wounded what they were doing because people use cranes to lift heavy objects. Then it came to me to me the diary must of teleported me to ancient Egypt! Then a horse came galloping down the sandy desert with a chariot hooked on to the horse with a person who looked like a king. “Hello who are you?”

…But when I put the batteries in it…

I ran. I ran away from the bomb. It must have been thirty minutes until I stopped and looked around…I was back where I was standing next to a nine metre tall deathly black BOMB. “Two minutes left,” it boomed... Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a sticker on the bomb…PLEASE PUT BATTERIES INSIDE ME it read. Some batteries had been stuck to the side with sticky-tape and I was tempted to put them in side. I gently plopped them in and prepared for something, something good or bad. Nothing happened. BOOM. I turned around...

When I opened the smallest present on Christmas day I thought it would be rubbish and didn’t do anything at all but, when I ripped the wrapping paper of it, it was what I always dreamed of getting. It was a small but brilliant plane with fold out wings. I opened the box very carefully so I did not break it. As soon as I sore it I ran to a small shelf where we kept the batteries but when I put the batteries in it, it started to shake. The next thing I know it fell to the ground.

My brother got a megaphone for Christmas, but when I put the batteries in it, he decided to shout right into it! He was trying to be mischievous, but lucky for me, the volume was turned right down, so only his shout could be heard, and not the massive sound from the megaphone. He stared open-mouthed, because he didn't think it would have a volume slider. I laughed at him and then (through a fit of giggles) said, “It has a volume slider you know! And anyway, why did you do that?” He grabbed the megaphone and yelled into it.

One early morning on my 7th birthday, I had opened all my presents but there was one present that I really wanted to play with, which was a pink mini scooter, that you put dolls in that was controlled by remote. Sadly I had to put the batteries in first. …but when I put the batteries in... they didn't work,

Which was a bit strange because they were band new and I put them in right so I went to ask my mum about it and she said, “You’re so silly you put the old ones in! “Oh!” I said!

I got a pink electronic dog for Christmas but when I put the batteries in it I had to wait two measly hours to play with it. But I did not mind waiting because when the two hours were up I was jumping out of my skin. This exciting time was finally here. I screamed as loud as I could and probably the whole world could hear. When I picked it up I could not put it down it was so amazingly fluffy and it was the most beautiful coloured rosy pink that I had ever seen. I loved it!

Today it is Christmas and I've got this amazing toy it’s an I Pod I play with my I Pod everyday it’s my favourite toy. It can play music, play games and much more this is why it’s my favourite toy! But when I put the batteries in and it went, "BANG" and I was so astonished that my favourite toy had gone Bang and it will never work ever again. This was okay because one week later I got a refund and I got my I Pod back although I still don’t trust my I Pod because of what it did last week…

One dark and misty morning I woke up in a mind chilling mansion. I could barely see but I saw a tiny light, it was a small torch. I got my lighter out and set the end on fire. As I slowly walked down the long lasting corridor of art. All the pictures were scary like a man all ripped up and blood squirting out of him! Then I found a long corridor. At the end I saw a massive machine. It said control me!

But when I put the batteries in, I heard ticking, swishing and drilling sounds.

Then…

Mum, dad, Hollie and Alfie followed me down I went straight to the living room and inside were about 50 presents all wrapped up addressed to me. A smile rose upon my face I jumped up and down screaming. Dad said to open his present first I ran to it and ripped it open inside was a Furby my no.1 present …but when he put the batteries in... it shouted, “happy birthday!”

There was a young geeky boy called Tom. He lived a ginormous house because of his family being rich. The day that he woke it was CHRISTMAS day! Which Tom thought was the best day. When he eventually got to go down his long, windy stairs and into the huge lounge all he could see was presents everywhere! After he had opened all of his presents he could see a gigantic present in a box. It was a mac book pro but when I put the batteries in it he felt incredibly excited.
