Grandpa’s

Writing we would like to share

“Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” These were the words which echoed the house it was an unforgivable screech for a Sunday morning.

I replied with a grunt, “5 more minutes.”

Mournfully, however much I wished, to rest mum gave me the glare, so I scrambled out of bed and tossed various clothes on me.After a while consulting with my mum we came to the impact we would go to grandpas for 2 hours.

Eventually we arrived at grandpas and the greeting was timid, he is generally an active man so this gave a queasy feeling. Something didn’t seem in order. Whenever i walked towards the conservatory grandpa tugged his collar . there must have been something in there. But what? From when? Why?

pirate ship!

Journals of Yucatan Explorers

Friday 1st  December 1506

We found a broken pirate ship, dazzling with a marvelous treasure chest full of delicate rubies. We found dead pirate bodies infested with sea worms, on the broken cracked deck. Unfortunately, if the pirates survived we could have helped them. We were going to eat the sea worms, but they slithered back into the everlasting ocean, while the horizon was settling down.

Saturday 2nd December 1506

Today the storm calmed down, it was a perfect day for going fishing. While we were exploring the ocean, then our fishing rod got hold of a fish. I and my gentleman had allot of fish like it never ended. Then, we saw a hostile crocodile that may have come from the uncharted island.

Letter to king Phillip

Journals of Yucatan Explorers

Dear king Phillip,

I am writing to inform you of an extremely intriguing structure that my crew and I have discovered whilst proceeding on mine and my crew’s troublesome journey of travelling through the dense rain forest. I will give you an inference and a description of what this new artifact looks like so that you can make a decision on what you would like us to do.

                                                                              We saw that this unknown construction has: something that looks like a balcony, a pyramid shape, four staircases on each corners of the pyramid, lots of tiny stones and pebbles in fact, it was hindered with stones. To be specific, the pyramid had all kinds of staircases, different shapes and sizes. One of the staircases, was very steep and was shaped pleasantly, whereas, the other one was very small and shallow, it had so many stairs, nearly twice the same as the one opposite it. This pyramid was almost symmetrical it had things different shapes and sizes so it wasn’t accurately symmetrical.

                                                                              It has occurred to me that I need to conclude on this, and by doing this, I need to write an inference: This structure may have been used as a holy place of worship, due to it being very tall and closer to the sky; it was also empty and made you feel cleansed. There was something that looked like a balcony on the top of the pyramid, I was thinking that people go up the stairs on the pyramid and get straight to the top, near the balcony and start praying or just having some quiet thinking time to themselves. This pyramid may have also been used as something a bit like an activity to get to the top and see what you can spot up there, as a result, it had stairs and it was very lofty.

We were all hindered with questions about this mysterious pyramid and not entirely sure of what to do. Thank you for your time, your majesty.
Yours sincerely,                                                     The crew

Dear King Phillip,

I am here to inform you that I have stumbled across an old stone structure and I would like to tell you about it. It has the finest patterns carved out of stone, there is a hole in the middle of what happens to be a small entrance. Above the small entrance are 4 stones, carved into what looks likes massive teeth. Beneath the entrance is a tiny jaw, with 3 blunt front teeth and 2 razor back teeth.

Secrets

Writing we would like to share

It was a dark misty night; a storm was approaching. As a crack of lightning lit up the sky, a car drove into a deserted garage. The garage belonged to a haunted house. The family who were moving in on this dark night didn’t know the history that lies within this house.
The father reached for the door knocker; its shape was a face. The face of the knocker looked petrified and pale. It was as if the knocker was giving out a warning not to enter. He knocked the door; nothing happened. He knocked again; the door swung open. No one was there! The family entered, forgetting what just happened.

The Two Tragedies

Writing we would like to share

By Emma and Emily

I am lost. I couldn’t remember the last time I saw light, or my beloved family. I look ahead, but instead of seeing nothing, I see a dark gloomy hole. I crawl in, un-alarmed about what could happen to me.

I proceeded on my dark journey, in golfed in curiosity and eeriness about what is ahead of me. I take one more step forward, only to see a speck of light coming from above. By the minute, it’s increasing by size. I run forward, in hope of life, only to lay my eyes on…

I close my eyes, only to feel my thudding heart beat that was like my whole life flashed before my eyes. I can see my mother. My father. My brother. I had a family. I open my eyes, only to see a whole city of ruins, swallowing all darkness. My eyes aching in agony, as I haven’t seen light as long as I could remember.

I run forward in hope of life beyond darkness, but in front of me I see an outline of another living human, standing a couple feet away from me. I freeze in shock. I can’t move. I can’t breathe. I can’t believe what i have just witnessed. I gasp for breath.

I hear a gasp. I spin around. I see another figure eyeing me down like a predator hunting its prey. My heart is pounding I urge myself to say something but I am lost for words. We’re both a statue.  I can’t believe what I have just witnessed.

“Uhh……Hhhi” I mutter with a shaking voice. I feel a sudden connection into my once lonely heart. I feel a tingly feeling shiver up my spine. I think I remember her from somewhere. I suddenly remember. I had a family. I had a mother. I had a father. I had a sister. She is my sister.

I hesitate to answer. Then I suddenly feel a pang of life shoot through my Blake heart. I remember him. He was the person that me smile and laugh. He was the person who encouraged me to try new things. He was the person who helped me over come my fears. I remember him. He is my brother. “Uhh…i remember you…you’re my brother.” I say, my eyes welling up with tears.
