flame, swimming, celebrated, white, tomorrow by Grace E

Tomorrow is the anniversary of when it happened. When we celebrated my little sister's 7th birthday, at a swimming pool in Boston. I don’t remember that much about the incident. I remember that I was wearing a plain white costume, and that my flame red, ginger hair was tied up in a ponytail. Mum had told me what happened. That the pool's slide had a loose bolt that had come untightened, and that I was just unlucky that I was the child who's leg it stuck into. But I will always have a souvenir of the incident. Only one leg.

We all crowed round the outdoor swimming pool which had the best view of the clear blue sky. Burst of colourful fire shot up into the air before exploding with a loud bang. We celebrated. Just then a single firework came descending down onto the pool floor. Instead of fizzing out it came shooting up bouncing around the swimming pool bursting it into flames. What was once a shiny, white family outdoor pool was now a heap of ashes. The world went silent apart from the soft sound of tears. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Tomorrow the sky will be filled with huge orange, white, red and blue flames; that’s because it's going to be Bonfire Night. It is celebrated because Guy Fawkes and others planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament by placing lots of gun powder under the great building. To get the gun powder barrels without being discovered probably involved swimming in the Thames and the smelly sewers... Luckily their plan failed and they were caught. He joined the team on 20th May 1604; he was captured 5th November 1605. Guy Fawkes penalty was to be hung, drawn and quartered. Ouch!!

The countdown to my swimming competition was here, tomorrow was the big day. I had been chosen to carry the baton, it wasn’t like it was the Olympic flame or anything, but it was special to me. I got there, and no one was allowed in because the pool had turned white! They managed to clean it out and finally everyone was allowed in so they all celebrated with joy but then all of a sudden, a man came in and said, “This swimming pool is not allowed for competitions.” The pool all went quiet and the celebrating was over.

A flame sprang up in front of me. The snowy, white grass crunched as we walked across. Fireworks were swimming amongst the stars in the dark sky. Families cheered and celebrated, Guy Fawkes never blew up the Houses of Parliament. I was standing in the middle of my garden, the bonfire in front, and the fireworks behind. A burger in my hand, a smile on everyone’s face, you would think I was happy. However, I knew that tomorrow, all that would be left was a pile of ash and some used matches. I had unearthed a new train of thought.

On the 5th of November, me and my family went to a Bonfire Night that was celebrated by our friends. It was so fun, and I enjoyed every little bit of it, especially when the massive flame came from the beautiful bonfire. I loved the different colours that came from the flames. The white firework looked a little plain, but it still looked good, then after when I got home I watched a swimming event that was also celebrating Bonfire Night. Tomorrow, I cannot wait to tell my friends about it at school, I bet they will love to hear about it!

On Bonfire Night we went swimming first, as we headed towards the lake all the trees that lined the pathways were covered in bright white lights. Until that night I hated fireworks because of the sound they make. As the fireworks started the flame of the first firework lit up the whole area surrounding the lake. I am so glad we celebrated Bonfire Night here. As the amazing firework display slowly ended we had time to call at the sweet shop for a sweet treat. We ate our treat on the way back to the villa for our last night there. Sadly, we have to leave tomorrow I wish every bonfire night could be as special as this one.

Dear Diary,
Today was so fun I went swimming with my family and I am particularly excited for tomorrow because it's Bonfire Night. Last year we celebrated I was a little irritated by the loud fireworks, but this year I'm going to love it. If you don’t know Bonfire Night is a festival we celebrate in the UK. Often, there's a big firework show. The white, colourful flame of the fireworks spread through the sky like aeroplanes making it look like a beautiful scenery of colours mixed together on a black background. Right I need to go now.
Bye xx

Tomorrow is the big day, it is Bonfire Night! I have been waiting for this day to arrive all year as it is my favourite day of the year. The reason why Bonfire Night is my favourite day of the year is because I see hundreds of thousands of bright white, luminous yellows and dazzling green fireworks all swimming and skipping across the cold night sky. I have celebrated Bonfire Night with my family every year since I was a baby. My favourite aspect of Bonfire Night is the flame of the bonfire; they were dancing like beautiful ballet dancers.

As the door slammed by Natasha

As the door slammed, I knew that this house was different - it was haunted. I came across this house in the middle of nowhere. I was curious about what was inside. There were many floors and there was broken glass from where the windows had smashed. Spiders crawled up the walls. The furniture was covered in cobwebs. Everywhere I looked, I saw large rats making homes out of old materials that were lying on the floor. It sent shivers down my spine. I quickly ran out of the house. As the door slammed, I knew I would never return.

I was waiting for the end of the day. It seemed to take hours just for one minute to to go by. When you think about it it seems really short but it's not..... 
I waited and waited but it was like time wasn't here it just left. I finally finished maths and it was time for lunch. Lunch is my favourite time of the day. Sometimes anyway. It depends on what it is to eat. After lunch it was time for science. Nothing really happened. But when I got home, as the door slammed, I knew it was the holiday.

As the door slammed I knew that he was here. That he was waiting. I cautiously went downstairs and the door was wide open. I slammed it shut and locked it. As I turned to go back to my room he was stood there watching me. "I'm always here Nieve. Deep down you know that right?"

 ''I do," I whispered. 

"I need you to do me a favour." 

"Always." 

Suddenly a knife fell off the table onto my foot. I screamed as the sharp blade stabbed into my foot. I turned around painfully and saw my brother was gone.

“Hooray” it was finally here. I’d been waiting to stay at my aunt’s house in the country for weeks. “You do know that her house is haunted don’t you” said my sister grinning. She was always winding me up. We got out of the car after what seemed miles down a leafy lane. I grabbed my bag and headed for the bedroom at the back of the house. It wasn’t haunted, I thought but it did feel cold as the wind rattled the window. I looked up and saw a shadow on the wall then as the door slammed, I knew she could be right!

As the door slammed, I knew by Maddie

  Last year on Friday 13th I was left alone in my cosy bungalow. Earlier on that day I knew my parents were going out, but I didn't know I was going to be left on my own as I thought someone was coming round to baby sit me. Obviously, not! Later, at about 9:30pm, things were getting out of hand because shadows kept appearing everywhere and it kept making seriously frightening sounds. Then I heard knocking from the kitchen. So, I crept down the hallway quietly, then as the door slammed, I knew I needed to get out and fast.... 

As the door slammed shut I knew... by Lexi

As I stepped across my wooden door frame into the warm and cosy atmosphere of my house, I noticed that something was wrong. I yelled for Mum but there was eerie silence. Where was Dad and his beloved computer, where were my sisters and where was the TV they were always glued to? As I tilted my head to the right, I suddenly noticed a heap of shattered glass spread across the floor. Just then, as the door slammed shut I knew what dreadful thing had happened to us but surely it couldn’t be, could it? Had we been burgled?

Hide and Seek by Jack

Today I woke up to a brand new day and turned on my TV, I was watching my  favourite YouTube channel when my sister and her friend came into my room, as my sister's friend had stayed the night we all decided to play hide and seek I had a really good spot which was in my bedroom and then the seeker was on the loose looking for me and my sister, my sister wasn’t paying attention and shut the door hard and as the door slammed I knew the seeker would find us both, so I told my sister to hide somewhere else whichshe did as the seeker was opening the door she got caught and I was the victor for that game. 

My Day by Clara

My rage fizzled over. “Fine!” I yelled, storming out of the room. The door almost came off its hinges as it rocketed shut. But as the door slammed, I knew I was being a brat. I burst into tears, my mum was crying… I had made her cry! “Shhh,” I whispered to her, stroking her hair softly. “I didn’t mean to upset you.” I cried even more, my face soaked with tears. Together we cried enough tears to fill the Atlantic Ocean. “I’m so sorry!” I gurgled between sobs. I nestled my face against Mum’s neck, and all was forgotten.

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. His name was Billy Hardy and the police are determined to find his killer, as it was obvious that he was murdered before he was placed exactly in the pond. His family have asked to grieve in peace. The town are questioning how seriously the police are taking this  incident as all investigations are private. 

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.
