Myth Quest Story again

A long time ago before illness came there lived a teenager called John he lived in Jasper by the edge of the sea. There was a monster called Jaw Dagger who lived on a island far away with a magic apple. John wanted the apple because it would fit in the middle of a stone and give the bad world a disease and they would die.

So John was chosen to go on the quest. He got in a boat and set off. On the way he saw whirlpools and pirates. So when John reached the ship he jumped onto the ship and threw them off. Soon John managed to get to the island. 

He slowly approached Toxic the big metal warrior. He threw the sword it swiped Toxic and he exploded but when John reached the cave he saw metal surrounding the apple. Bravely John whacked the metal but his axe kept bouncing off. Just then John cleverly found a slit in the metal. He smacked it and the metal broke. Then John struggled to pull the apple out but eventually he managed it. 

A week later he arrived home. The people there were heartbroken to see him they gave him the stone and the bad world got a disease and they died and John became king. JR

Myth Quest Story

Many many  years ago before the dinoursours were alive there was a half hearted man called Bobovic. He lived in a little castle with his wife Julie. The castle had stained glass windows but the wind whistled round everywhere so his family loved being in the great hall by roaring fire. 

 The king of the castle said Bobovic you’re a good fighter to defeat the monster so you can go. 

 Bobovic went.

The next morning Bobovic got all of his clothes ready to set of on a boat. Later on he was half way there all he needed to do was steer to the first left then he somehow got there in time suddenly he heard a big bang it was the treasure. Bobovic went into a big leathery cave trying to work out where he heard the bang but he heard the Bang again and again then a big hairy monster lashed out at him and licked Bobovic nearly to death but Bobovic got the treasure and ran out of the cave screaming with agony. Bobovic shut the cave door and ran all the way back to the Castle. MR

Another Myth Quest Story

Many many  years ago before the dinoursours were alive there was a half hearted man called Bobovic. He lived in a little castle with his wife Julie. The castle had stained glass windows but the wind whistled round everywhere so his family loved being in the great hall by roaring fire which was being put out. So the king of the castle said Bobovic you’re a good fighter to defeat the monster so you can go so Bobovic went.

The next morning Bobovic got all of his clothes ready to set off on a boat. Later on he was half way there all he needed to do is steer to the first left then he somehow  got there in time. Suddenly he heard a big bang! It was the treasure so Bobovic went into a big leathery cave trying to work out where he heard the bang but he heard the bang again and again then a big hairy monster lashed out at him and licked Bobovic to death. He nearly killed Bobovic but Bobovic got the treasure and ran out of the cave screaming with agony and Bobovic shut the cave door and ran all the way back to the castle. MR

Myth Quest Story

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, before we lived there was a terrible beast. The people found out that the monster was a meat-eater killing all the villagers. That day the villagers called together a meeting to choose a person to kill the monster and bring back the sword. A girl called Rose was chosen to do it. She wasn’t sure at all if she could do it, but was forced to by the others. So Rose set of to the old harbour where a sailor was trying to sell his boat for a piece of silver. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a dropped piece of silver she picked it up and thought to herself, I should keep this for myself but I have to. She walked to the sailor and immediately he started to tell her about the boat. She gave him the silver and took the boat. She accidentally sailed into a tornado like whirlpool that carried her to a faraway island called Make Male Island. She hurried through all the obstacles until she came to a ring of fierce fire fames dancing in her eyes, she stabbed the monster and suddenly a blinding gold light filled the area the god called Levorinia popped into view. All he said was, here you go, use it well. Then POP! He disappeared into nothing. Now, sitting on Rose’s back, was a huge water tank filled to the top with ice cold water. Suddenly she knew what to do she flicked a rock switch, and a silver streak of freezing water burst out of it. As quick as a flash the fire was put out. She stared in amazement as the ashes revealed a marble pillar on top, a scarlet cushion laden with gold strands and finally a beautiful, goblin made sword rested on top. Suddenly a solid gold fountain full of gold liquid caught her eye. But before she went she picked up the sword that was slightly warmed by the current fire. She waded over to the fountain and forgetting what she was doing, she plunged the sword down into the gold liquid and taking her time, dragged it out again. She watched as a half silver, half gold glow emitted out of it. She stuffed it into her pocket but tore a huge hole into her pocket, so she held it in her hand instead. A week and three days past and rose was back in Mevoria village. Every one was so amazed, and because they didn’t have one, they made her queen. And she was never troubled again. SV

Myth Quest Creature

Here is one of the creatures from our stories.

Myth Quest Stories

Here is a story map for one of our Myth Quest stories.

Poetry

We have been inspired by Brian Moses poem Walking with my Iguana. You can listen to it HERE
Here is one of our own versions:-

I’m walking
With my giraffe
I’m walking
With my giraffe
When we walk along
His neck goes up high
He munches leaves
From up in the sky
He looks around
And sees tiny people
and I’m walking
with my giraffe
I’m walking
with my giraffe
Well if anyone sees us
we’re a big surprise,
my giraffe and me
on our daily exercise,
till somebody phones
the local police
says I’ve got a big thing
tied to a leash
when I’m walking
with my giraffe
I’m walking
with my giraffe
It’s the spots on his back
that make him look funny
but he loved to be tickled
under his tummy. 
And I know that my giraffe
is ready for bed
when he puts on his pyjamas
and lays down his sleepy head.
And I’m walking
with my giraffe
still walking
with my giraffe
With my giraffe…
and my giraffe….
and I’m walking
with my giraffe
with my giraffe
with my giraffe yeah!

Author Visits

The author visits were really good! Simon Cheshire came first. He wrote Jeremy Brown - Spy, Pants on Fire and many more. He explained about how to get ideas for stories as ideas can pop into your head at any time or place (including in the chippy!)
Jeremy Strong came next, the author of My Dad's Got an Alligator and My Nan's Great Escape! He was a funny man making us all laugh our heads off. He read us an extract from his new book also he showed us you're never too young to be a writer. After that he showed where he worked.
on the whole we had two great visits that we all enjoyed. AP

Through The Dragon's Eye: Gorwen vs Charn!

Chapter 8 The Great Battle
Gorwen defended himself. Charn couldn't to defeat Gorwen. Charn had melted the others but Gorwen brought them back to life. Gorwen began to fade away. DM


Through the Dragon's Eye is good because Charn gets defeated by Gorwen. Charn had turned Morris and Doris and the pets into puddles. The mouse, Boris and the children are looking for the last veeton. They have found two veetons. HN

My Dad's Big Adventure

My big dad was going on a big adventure that was called the Haunted House. When my dad went he was really scared because the house was haunted. The person who lived there was really scary because when my dad had been there Trick or Treating, the man who lived there shouted 'GET OFF MY LAWN' that's why no one should ever go there. That's why.

Simon Cheshire visit

Simon Cheshire visited on Tuesday. Here is what some of the class said about the visit.

I thought it was very funny and his books were very good they make you laugh and he has great ideas. MJ

I liked it because he explained how to write stories really well. KJ

I liked the stories he told they were very good.

I laughed when the giant squirrel ate the people who were racing. MC

I thought it was funny because he told us he had nightmares when thinking about the plot. SV

If you want to become a story writer always carry a notebook to write down your ideas. CG

It’s really important to keep reading if you want to become a writer. DM
