… I was so cross that … by Lilly-Ella

It was only a few days ago when my best friend and I had fallen out with each other, she pushed me I was so cross that I did it back. After that, I felt so bad I apologized straight away. Unfortunately, she didn’t want to make up – my Mum thought that I should say sorry by taking her out for tea but I didn’t think that was a great idea. For hours and hours, I was sat thinking about what to do when I had the perfect idea, I invited her to a sleepover because she had always loved them.

What is this place? by Lilly-Ella

“What is this place?" Ally said as she curiously walked around the huge room with a blank expression on her face.

“Maybe it was a cinema because of the sweet bar,” Janita questioned - looking around the weird place, “Cinemas always have one of them," she added.

“Perhaps it was dance studio because of the style of the place?” Oliver said, “Or, maybe it is where someone lived?”

“Yes!” Ally and Janita both shouted at exactly the same time.

“That explains all of the light that are on," Janita said happily.

“It explains the noises as well,” Ally stated.

…empty. What a surprise!…, Lilly-Ella

It was Christmas Eve, and two siblings had just fallen out with each other. Why? You may ask, because they both wanted to listen to the same cd in their own room. Unfortunately, they only owned one CD player.

The next day, they had still not made up, besides that they were both sat downstairs next to the tree opening presents, when Lola began opening her present from her sister. She realised it was... empty. "What a surprise," Lola said miserably. “That was the wrong box,” Lola's sister said as she gave Lola a big hug. They had made up!

RED LADDER SINKING COINS PAVEMENT by Lilly-Ella

As the fiery red sun was setting and I started to see the crescent moon, I wanted to get a better view of what was in the fountain... I jumped in. I could see coins on the mossy floor they looked rusted and old; one-pence and two-pence coins were all that were there. I started sinking - I had never learnt how to swim.

“Help!” I screamed no longer seeing the pavement or ladder that was leading up to the roof of a house. 

 “Help” I screamed again but no one came. 

What was I going to do? 

…the vinegar was too sharp… by Lilly-Ella

Dear Diary,

 Last night I had fish and chips for tea! They were the worst fish and chips that I have ever eaten because of one thing... the vinegar was too sharp, it was so strong I could hardly even eat any of the chips. The thing that annoys me most is that I didn’t ask for any vinegar not even one drop, all I asked for was a pinch of salt. They didn’t listen to me. Luckily, my friend loves vinegar so I swapped my dinner for hers. Hers didn’t have vinegar! She came to the rescue, nothing got wasted.

The Lost Bear by Lilly-Ella

“Mum, I've lost Mr. Tickles, I had him we went to the shop earlier,” cried Diana as she sadly sat down on her mum's sofa. She loved Mr. Tickles, she had had him since she was a tiny baby.

“I'm sure that we will find him,” her Mum said sweetly. “I know let's go and retrace our steps I'm sure we will find him,” her mum mumbled.

“Look, that boy has him,” Diana's Mum said, “let's go and ask for it.”

“Actually, he looks really happy - he can have Mr. Tickles,” Diana sweetly said whilst smiling at the young boy.

… it was completely out of tune…, Lilly-Ella

Not so long ago, there was a kind and beautiful girl named Gracie. She loved to play the guitar; she played it whenever she had a chance to. It was Christmas Day and Gracie woke up and ran downstairs so that she could open her main gift. “It’s a brand-new guitar!” she shouted happily as she opened the gift and ran back upstairs. She grabbed her guitar tuner and tuned it up, but it was not working. She tried again it was completely out of tune. No matter how much she tuned it, it never played properly.

Lilly-Ella: FRINGE EGGS BLACK WASHED FLICKERING

In the Victorian times, there was a young girl who had jet black hair with a fringe. In the evening, all she had in her house for light was a flickering candle - no one could even see her good looks. The girl was naughty, the worst thing she had ever done was when she threw some eggs at a window and back then it could not be washed off.

One day, in the middle of town she was pulling a prank - not realizing that everyone was watching, and people found out about her real, horrible and mean personality.

Statues by Lilly-Ella

On a day just as normal as any other, in the small, quiet town of Combrough (where it rained almost every day) there was an exciting Lego convention, where all children and adults were allowed to join in. People were making Lego ninjas, Lego dinosaurs, Lego dragons and some children were even making people. Everything was going amazingly well, it was really very busy! Until suddenly the Lego people (coloured blue, red and green) started to grow. They started to chase after people. “Help!” everyone yelled as the huge Lego army edged closer and closer to them.

… but how could she just disappear…, by Lilly-Ella

Over 100 years ago there used to be a day at school that was called the write really happens day. A girl named Samantha had just moved from Africa and it was her first day at her new school. The first lesson she had was English and she had to write a story, but she did not know that it was write really happens day! She thought about writing about a normal girl who disappeared. Seconds later she was gone. But how could she just disappear without even writing it down … no one ever found out.

Bicycle Empty Bubbles Fired Pink, by Lilly-Ella

I was riding to the supermarket on my pink bicycle the other day because I needed to get some bubbles for my sister's birthday party. When I arrived, the shop was almost empty, probably because it was only 7.00am. Then, appearing around the corner was someone who used to be my best friend who I had not seen for over 13 years. We started to talk, and she told me that she had just been fired from her old job. Why, you ask - she had no idea! She just got told she was fired for no reason.

Lilly-Ella - The light blinded him

As Toby looked up all he could see was the huge dark sky filled with bright lights beaming down at him. Toby was frozen to the spot - he could not physically move. He wanted to run but he couldn’t. Toby started to worry as the light got lower and lower until it hit the floor. and the light blinded him. 
What was it?
Why was it there? 
How did it get there? 
Toby had so many questions and no answers. Until he realised it was a UFO from space! The first UFO Toby had ever seen.

The Picture by Lilly-Ella

Painting is Léon’s favourite thing to do! I mean he does it all the time but creativity just flows right out of him, but the other day he had no creativity coming out of him at all. So, he went asking around, he asked his Mum and she wanted him to paint a bauble coloured red, his sister wanted an open Christmas present, his best friend Harry a Christmas holly and his art teacher wanted him to paint an eye. When Léon had asked everyone, he decided to paint all of them! And his painting was amazing.

Lilly-Ella - but they were exhausted

On Wednesday morning just after the tough 10k run Rita, Paul and Lollie were supposed to go to the town school to entertain the children at their Christmas party (unlike other schools they have their Christmas party together) but they were exhausted!

Should they just not go?

That is what Lollie and Paul wanted to do, but Rita said, “No! We are going because if we don’t who will entertain the children?”

Paul and Lollie agreed with this - they knew they couldn’t let children down, especially because they had promised and they couldn’t just break a promise...

… we seemed to be on the television… by Lilly-Ella

Dear Diary, 

                   Last night was a strange night! A very strange night! 

It all started when I sat down at 6.00pm with hot chocolate and cookies in the front room with my Mum and we seemed to be on the television. Why you may ask...  We had won a competition that I entered last week without my Mum knowing. The competition we won was one where we won a free holiday to America. Mum was so pleased that I had entered! 

I’m writing this now on the plane whilst hoping to have the holiday of a lifetime.

The Roller by Lilly-Ella

“What is that strange thing stuck in the tree trunk?” I ask myself whilst running towards it. “I’ve never seen one of those before!”

It is brown with very thick circular things and around the top near the middle there also seems to be a triangular squishy thing.

Was I meant to try to sit on it? I had no idea. I wonder what it is? I wonder what it is called? I wonder if it even has a name? I had so many questions and no answers!

I know that I would call it the Roller.

Lilly-Ella - Bricks Gorilla Yellow Running Pretty

I was walking to the park yesterday, when I came across a gorilla. It wasn’t just any old gorilla it was yellow and I can’t believe I am saying this but it was actually pretty (it even twinkled in the sunlight). Obviously, I ran away because when a gorilla comes out of nowhere, I can’t be good. Whilst I was running, I ran into some hard bricks. I thought could this day get any worse? I was wrong!!! But I’m not going to go into that because it would take us into a whole new story.

Lilly-Ella - …I wondered what was behind the door…

One random day, just the same as any other I was walking happily to the park when suddenly a beautiful door appeared it had gold lines with lots of pink dots. I wondered what was behind the door? Why was it there and where did it come from? I was about turn the door handle when I suddenly thought maybe this isn’t a good idea. Maybe something bad will happen. When I got home, I could not get the door off my mind. So, I went back the very next day, but the door had disappeared...

Lilly-Ella - Because I said so

“You're so, so annoying!” says Sally to her Mum. “Why can’t I go out with my friend Zia?”  

“Because you're too young.” Sally’s mum replies. 

 “No, I’m not! Why can’t I go out with Zia?”  

“Because I said so! Please stop asking Sally my answer will not change.” Sally’s mum also says. “I don’t want anything to happen to you.”  

“Ok, well I suppose when I’m old enough I can go out with Zia and besides all of that she can just come around to our house at some point.” Sally says in a sweet voice.
