Chloe - X marks the spot

“Monkey! Come here!” called Lion worried about his beloved friend. Where could he be Lion wondered as he stepped a little closer to the dreaded dangerous Exciting Forest every second. The closer he got the more worried he felt for Monkey. He just wanted to make up with monkey but obviously he couldn't do that until he found him. But what was that lying on the floor? Monkey’s toy!!!! He must have dropped it thought Lion. On the toy was a map that had directions on it… X marks the spot, that’s where Monkey is! 

Caitlin - X Marks the Spot

A long time ago there lived a wizard called Caspian who had discovered an old fragile scroll in his dusty attic. He had spent hours, even days, trying to work out what the x in it meant. The sentence said, in time you will find out what the x might means… “Hmmm,” he murmured. For months he thought about what the x meant. He glanced at the clock. It was 10 o'clock, that’s it x was number 10 in Roman numerals the clue was behind the number 10 on the clock. X marks the spot; he pulled out the number 10 to reveal all…

Maddie - X marks the spot

“Hello and welcome to X marks the spot and today we are going to be discussing the general election,” shouted Bob the TV presenter loudly.

“What’s the general election, mum?” I asked.

“The general election is where people over 18 vote for their new prime-minister and the parties like the labour party and other parties like that. The more people they have in their teams the more chance they've got to win,” replied Mum.

“Wow are you going to vote Mum?” I asked.

“Yes I think so,“ answered Mum.

“cool, who are you going to vote for,” I asked. 

“I’m not sure yet,” Mum replied. 

Aron - ...X marks the spot...

It was Saturday. I was very excited as mum took me to the Dunnottar Castle in Scotland. When we got there I saw that massive, really old and partly collapsed building. Inside I felt as if someone was watching me... it was strangely uncomfortable... I leant against a wall that suddenly creaked and that suddenly slid out of my reach. There was a massive X on the wooden floor. I reminded myself of stories about treasure where X marks the spot where treasure is hidden. When I stood on it, the wooden plank moved, I barely stopped myself from looking underneath the old, cranky board...

Rio - X Marks the Spot

Today I'm going to a polling station to vote for the new prime minister where X marks the spot. X means who I will vote for. I'm going to vote for David Cameron the current prime minister until the new one is elected. David Cameron was good but he had a few faults like he advertises people dying from illnesses when I don't want to watch it especially when I'm eating because it puts me off. David Cameron does some good things because this country is successful because of him and his the Conservative party. I think it’s a good idea to vote every time. 

Harvey - X Marks the Spot

It was a dark stormy night the waves were crashing up and over the ship making it rock side to side. When the ship hit a rock and sent the crew overboard they swam and clung onto a rock.

As the storm passed and the sun finally began to rise, the crew found a bottle washed up beside them with a map inside. They realised it was a map of the island they were washed up on. They worked out where X marks the spot and dug with their hands. From a disastrous night they couldn't believe the luck at what they had found.

“Can you please, please, please read me this book?” pleaded Jasmine’s little brother.

“Ok what book is it?” Jasmine replied.

“It’s a pirate book! ARRGH!” her little brother explained.

“The adventures of Captain Buccaneer and his crew,” read Jasmine as she turned the page, her little brother (Charlie) yawned drowsily. “Sally, find my treasure map! Billy take control of the helm!” Everyone obeyed the captain as they were planning to grab the treasure! “I know where my treasure is buried. Throw down the anchor we are here. X marks the spot bellowed the captain!”

“Night, Night,” wished Jasmine sweetly.

Jemima - X Marks the Spot

Who are you going to vote for, it does not matter. We do not want to know who you are going to vote for, we want to know if you are going to vote. Is there a party leader where you agree with what they stand for, if there is then vote for them, your vote may help make the country better. The general election is very important to the country and there are people that want to vote but can not, so if you get the opportunity take it and make Britain better. X marks the spot. That is what really matters.

Eleanor - X Marks the Spot

One day I came to the conclusion that I was going on a treasure hunt. My dad told me that we had one in the loft so I went up there and searched everywhere. Once I found it, it was covered in dust and it had a few stains on it. Anyway I called my friends and asked if they wanted to help me. My very best friend came round and said, "Come on x marks the spot!" We raced off into the distance and found a maze. I lead everyone into the maze. It was so much fun.

Sam F - X Marks the Spot.

One night I was fast sleep and I had a dream. In my dream there was a treasure chest in the garden and there was an x that marked the spot. As soon as I woke up I was curious to see if there really was a treasure chest. So I went downstairs and put my shoes on. I ran as fast as I could to the garden to investigate. When I was in the garden I saw a massive treasure chest next to the x that marked the spot.

The ship sailed over the sea and suddenly, crashed into a desert island. Quickly the ship started sinking!

"Abandon ship!" cried the captain loudly. He leapt out the ship and the rest of his pirate crew followed. The ship sank as a map fell in front of the captain. 

"A map," said the captain's brother, Gareth. They adventured through the island following every single step on the map. Finally, they got to the X.

"X marks the spot," murmured the captain. They dug up the treasure and headed back to the ship.

"How are we going to get back?" wondered Gareth quietly, "no way."

Jessica - X Marks the Spot

One day in the town of Bubblegum it was the general election and everyone was getting really excited. This year they changed the rules for the general election. Instead of someone getting voted for someone would have to find some treasure and the first person to find the treasure would win. The way you will know where the treasure is is there will be a X marks the spot near. It is not easy though to find treasure because it could be anywhere round the whole of Bubblegum town. Next time I will tell you the groups in the exciting treasure hunt around the town.

Romola - but I couldn't find the egg...

Dear Diary,

Yesterday was Easter, and I had five yummy Easter eggs. Me and my twin sister Jessie always have a little challenge every Easter. This year we had to hide a chocolate mini egg in the house. If I didn't find the egg, Jessie would get my five yummy Easter eggs, but if Jessie couldn't find the egg I would get her five Easter eggs. So we started the challenge, Jessie found her egg straight away, but when it was my turn it took me a while. No one had ever won any of the challenges. I looked everywhere but I couldn't find the egg...

but I couldn't find the egg . . . by Lettia

On Easter Sunday, I received a chocolaty, scrumptious Easter egg. It was pure chocolate with a hollow centre, and came in a cardboard basket.

Although the feel of the shiny, but bumpy feel was right in front of my eyes (In fact, right in my hands) I was told that I wouldn't be able to eat it until after dinner.

So . . . I waited, and waited, and waited, and finally came the time to eat the delicious egg! Sprinting, I rushed into the front room to destroy the lovely Easter egg.

Happy thoughts awaited me, but I couldn't find the egg . . . 

…but I couldn't find the egg… by Lili

Hours later I still searched for it but I couldn't find the egg I tried and tried but I obviously didn't try hard enough. Then the Easter bunny named EB helped me when, 2 minutes later I found it with all the help of EB the Easter bunny!

Then when I turned around he was gone, after a while I took the egg to the table and they announced me the winner!

1 hour later….

I walked into my bedroom and saw EB sat cutely on my chair. I went to go and talk to him and he jumped up and hugged me!

but I couldn't find the egg by Finlay

Mum told me to get up and we had to go to my grans house for a Easter egg hunt. So I did as my mum told me to and went to my grans but when I arrived I realised that I wasn't going to be the only one involved in the egg hunt! To get to my gran's it took about two or three hours to get there so of course we slept over there. Gran said that there was only one egg so that was annoying! I enjoyed the Easter egg hunt but I couldn't find the egg.

But I couldn't find the egg by Alex

One Sunday morning I was bored and the weather was horrible it was raining and hailing. So I decided to boil an egg and draw a face on it and make a home for it and then put the egg in it and look after it. Then it started to get late and I had to go to bed so I put the egg and its home on my desk and went to bed. When I woke up the next morning I looked in the box but I couldn't find the egg so I was very upset and I cried.

…but I couldn't find the egg… by Ruby

Once upon a time I was at school and we broke up for the Easter Holidays!

Anyway the next morning I was going downstairs and my mum and dad said, "Happy Easter Sweety!"

I said, "Thank you! But where are my Easter eggs?"

"Well we hid them because it is an Easter egg hunt."

After a couple of minutes I said to mum, "But I couldn't find the egg."

"But it was the last one," said mum.

"Just tell me."

"OK it is upstairs," she said.

"That's not much help!"

She said, "Well it is an Easter egg hunt, I am not supposed to be helping!"

"Yay mummy, I found it!"
