The body in the river by Daisy

Earlier today, reports came in that a body had been seen in a nearby river. Anxious locals raced to the scene to see what had happened. They were all asking; “What happened?” and “Who would do such a thing?”  and “when was it done?”
 Then a local farmer came over to have a look at what had happened. “My scarecrow has gone missing from my field,” he said. The description of it was he was wearing dark green size 12 wellies! He heard laughter all around him, I think the mystery had been solved after all that.

Local boy found dead in Roundabout pond! by Grace E

At 1:35 in the afternoon a 14-year-old boy was found upside down in a pond by a woman walking her dog. 
Ambulances and police arrived at the scene immediately. Devastatingly, his life could not be saved and passed away at 2:02 am.

Teaching the children a lesson by Maya

Children love to play outside yet this group of children live near a really dangerous swamp. This particular swamp is surrounded by some of the most vicious creatures. There are crocodiles, black mamba snakes and worse. These children sneakily come out of their houses and play outside. None of the parents were ever convinced that it was safe to play so one day they decided to teach their children a lesson. They got a mannequin and stuck on some jeans and wellies and plonked it in the swamp. When the children saw that they never played near the swamp again.

BOY FOUND STUCK IN A HOLE... by Alexander

At somewhere around 4:00 yesterday afternoon an eight-year-old boy was found stuck in a hole in a field. His mum and dad found out he was nowhere in the house and called the police, regardless of the fact that they had not thought of anywhere else like his friend's house. The police started a search and found him stuck in a hole in a field unconscious at 4:00 pm. When the police returned him they were so happy they gave him a hug SO tight, it would crush a potato.

Shadow Strikes Again

On Wednesday evening, The Shadow claimed its next victim. The sleepy town of Windham mourns Helen Scott, a 35-year-old mother who was ruthlessly murdered by Britain’s evilest killer. Her body was discovered on Thursday by her husband, Lawrence Scott, while a search party of six were looking for her. A post-mortem confirmed she died from drowning, and she was knocked unconscious by a blow to the head. Candle-lit vigils are being held all over Britain, with charities raising money for Helen’s two young children. Police have told members of the public to tell them about any information about The Shadow.

The Missing Boy by Lexi

At 6am this morning a report had been placed about a missing boy. The boy's parents described him as a small 9-year-old wearing a bright yellow coat, blue jeans and a pair of brown wellies. Since the case has been online photos have been flooding in about a pair of upside down wellies stuck in a pond only a few miles away from the house of our boy. Six Fire Brigade parties have been down to this location but none have been successful with pulling the boy out. All we can do now is sit, wait and hope for the best.

The Missing Farmer by Scarlett

Earlier today, at 10:35am a local farmer was reported missing by his wife. She states she that he was out looking for the neighbouring farm's dog.
