Story- I disappeared the night before my 12th birthday by Grace
26/03/2020
Kidnapped
I disappeared the night before my twelfth birthday. I was just going for a walk then a bag suddenly flew over me. I didn’t know what to do so I just wriggled around. The person who caught me must have boxed me in the face because I went unconscious.
***
I woke in a wooden chair, how do I know it was wooden? Well, every time I moved my bum, pieces of wood stuck into me. Then a light suddenly flickered on. A face suddenly popped up in the light. “Let me go!” I shouted. “No! Why would I want to do that!?” The voice shouted. “Because I’m an innocent child” I replied. Then a man walked out of the light. He had loads of warts on his skinny face. He wore baggy trousers and a ripped top. He had flip-flops on his dirty feet. He was so skinny you could nearly see his ribs. He wore a jet black eye-patch on his right eye. His hair was so messy and long that you could say that he nearly looked like a dog. I have never seen a person so poor before. “Please!” I begged. “Let me go”. “I said no and no means no!” he shouted back. “Seriously dude! Get a life!” I mumbled.

Then a suddenly a light flickered on. “hu?” I groaned. “What’s that?”. “At last the sleeping beauty is awake” mumbled the person. “who are you?” I asked faintly. “Oh, I’m just the guy who kidnapped you” answered the man. “please let me go” I begged. “oh, so you think it’s that easy don’t you now” he asked. “No, but seriously dude get a life!” I answered. “ha, you’re such a baby!” he said. “excuse me, mister I am an eleven-year-old” I shouted back. “Don’t answer me back!” he shouted. Then the man walked out into the light. He wore worn out sandals, he had ripped jeans and the oldest looking top. His hair looked long and shaggy. His eyes looked so tired and had bags under them. He had a hideous stare. “I’m hungry!” I moaned. “well perhaps you will like a knuckle sandwich,” he asked going to punch me in the face. “NO!” I shouted.

Le Ríona Flynn rang a ceathar 2020
Tá mé tinn sa leaba innú. Ní maith liom a bheith tinn. Tá pian i mo bholg
agus tá tinneas scornach orm. Caithfidh mé fanacht sa bhaile. Thug mo Mamaí mo
bhricfeasta chugam. Tháinig Mamó suas. Tá sí go deas liom. Rinne sí lón dom.
Bhí sé go hálainn. Go tobann mhothaigh mé níos fearr. Dúirt mé le Granny é. Dúirt sí go bhféadfainn féachaint
ar an teilifís. D’fhéach mé ar
chartúin ar an teilifís. Dúirt mo Mhaimeo go gcaithfimid Niamh a fháil ón
scoil. Mar sin chuamar chun Niamh a fháil.
Bhí Niamh sásta mé a fheiceáil. Nuair a chuamar ar ais abhaile d’imir muid
le chéile. Ansin tháinig mamaí
abhaile. Ansin tháinig Daidí, Clodagh agus Odhrán abhaile fresin. Chuaigh Mamó
abhaile. Rachaidh mé ar scoil amárach.

Essay- The View from My Bedroom Window
The view from my bedroom window
By Ríona Flynn
The view from my bedroom window is quite nice. You can see the field across
the road, sometimes there is horses in the field and most of the time there are
sheep and lambs in the field. I can see many trees with birds in their nests. I
also can see loads of hedgerows. I can see so many fences too. If you look
closely, you can see three or four gates and a barn. On the left, there is
another field and on the right, there is a line of evergreen trees. During the
day, you can see different birds flying in and out of their nests looking for
food for themselves and their chicks. Most of the time you can see more than
one of my three dogs on the front lawn.

Essay- Beware of the unknown gift.
Beware of the unknown gift
Ríona Flynn 4th, class 2020
It was just a normal day, the sun was shining, and the birds were tweeting
as if they were singing a song. I got up, got dressed, had breakfast and set
off for school. Then the weirdest thing happened, my best friend Samira was
walking beside me and then suddenly, she said “uh Liza do you that you are
FLOATING!” I was like “what, how am I?” She replied, “I don’t know, did
anything weird happen this morning?” I shook my head. Suddenly, I remembered
looking at my little sister Emma and she looked at me as if I was a ghost. Then
Samira explained, “Maybe she was looking at you because you were floating,” I
agreed with her and we went on.
Then I had this thought that
this was a gift for doing something. Well I remember seeing a bird falling out
of a tree so I helped it back up, then the bird winked at me and I thought I
was just imaging it all but I couldn’t have.
That was a long day of people staring at me. When I went
up to my room, I saw a scroll that was glowing. I opened it and read it and it
I read
“Dear the gifted one, you need to go and cross the great desert and find
the crystal of the ice dunes.” I was confused, why should I have to go into the
desert.
The next morning I told my
parents and straight away, they said that I have to go and find the crystal. I
flew all the way to Samira’s house and she was just coming out of the door. She
said, “hold your horses, what are you doing here so early?” so I told her where
I had to go. When she heard she was like “OMG, you get to go on a mission.
That’s so cool” I thought she would have reacted differently. Then I set off on
my journey.
I had been in the desert for
days when I said “I wish there was a shower of rain” then I saw what looked
like an oasis. That gave me more confidence. I flew all the way, to what looked
like an oasis. When I actually got there, there was no oasis at all. It was
just a mirage. I had a complete meltdown.
Then when I thought there
was no hope left this happened; I was hovering over the ground when I tripped
over a big rock and then I saw a symbol of a mountain with a crystal on top.
When I pressed down on the symbol, a giant mountain emerged from the ground. I
muttered, “That was unexpected” So I started to fly to the top of the mountain.
When I got to the top, I saw
a trap door. I squeezed through the trapdoor and I saw a light shining
through. As I came closer, I realised
that the light was coming from the crystal of the ice dunes. I floated towards
the shimmering light and as I came closer, I saw the crystal. It was snow white
with little specks of silver. I can tell why it call the crystal of the ice
dunes because the crystal looks like ice and snow. When I touched it, it felt
like I was holding a ball of ice. I then saw a hole that looked like it was for
the crystal to go into. Then I put the crystal in the hole and a slate with
words on it. I read, “Thank you for restoring the crystal to its rightful
place, unfortunately we now have to take away your powers”. Suddenly, I dropped
to the ground.
When I woke up, I was at the bottom of the mountain. I
walked back to my neighbourhood and told Samira this “Hi Sammy, I’m back” she
said excitedly “OMG, you’re back Liz, I missed you so much” I thought she was
going to ask me what was it like. Then I went back to my house. My parents were
delighted to have me back.

Essay- write about the First Thing that comes to mind....
The first thing that comes to your mind
The world of Stationery
Ríona Flynn 4th, class 2020
Once there was a city, full of stationery. The people were stationery, the
buildings were made of stacked books, the houses were made of copies and the
ground was made of rubber. The ruler of the city was a ruler who was 30cm tall
and he called himself, Roberto the ruler.
One day an evil pencil
called Paley came with his army of pencils, and they attacked the city, scared
the people out of their houses and kept trying to knock the palace down.
However, every time Paley tried to attack, Roberto sent his army of scissors to
fight them back.
Meanwhile, a little tiny
pen was looking back at his home and suddenly he got a brainwave. What if he
joined Paley’s army! Then trick Paley into shooting himself and his army out of
a canon back where they came from? It was a big risk but he had to do it. The
little pen walked up to Paley and asked him “can I join your army o’ great
Paley” Paley was convinced but he did not see the pen’s fingers. Paley said,
“You can be my advisor since my other one is now dead” the pen was glad his
plan had worked.
An hour later, the pen’s
plan went into action. Firstly, he told Paley if he shot him and his army out
of a canon he would land straight into the palace. Secondly, he helped Paley
find a canon big enough to fit Paley and his whole army. Thirdly, he turned the
canon and BOOM, Paley and his army were shot back to where they came from. All
the people cheered. The little pen had saved the day.

I just woke up on an Island- Grace
23/03/2020
I just woke up on an island!!!
I opened my eyes. I was lying on the ground. I could barely move but somehow I managed to get up. The taste of sea water was in my mouth. I shook all the sand off me. I could feel the sand moving in between my toes. Then I coughed up a lot of water. "I need food" I thought. Then I just collapsed. I could hear nothing but my breath.
I woke up and I was in a cave. There was food right beside me. Well, when I say food I mean fish. "Where am I?" I asked myself. I extended my arm to get a piece of fish. Then I heard a grunt come from the darkness. "Who’s there?" I asked. Then I heard the grunt again. "I help you" said the voice. Then a lady walked out from the shadows. She looked like a cave woman. Her hair was all over the place and her ears stuck out. She was wearing a dress me out of leopard fur. "Who you?" she asked. "Who are you?" I asked her back. "I asked you first!" she shouted. "Ok! Geez! I am Grace." I answered. "Now who are you?". "I Akari" she replied. "And I help you".
