My Holiday Postcard
Dear Miss Dorsen,
During the holidays, my friend Emma came over and we rode our bikes. Then we went to a café and had ice cream and fish and chips. After we finished, we rode to the car and packed our things. Next, Emma’s dad drove her to my house to have some more fun and to eat dinner. After we ate dinner together, we secretly got some candy and sweets and crept to my mum’s bedroom. We ate our sweets in the wardrobe so they didn’t see us. I hope you had a good holiday too. Love from Alicia

SENSORY DESCRIPTIONS
Imagine you are the Sun
I can see bees buzzing around the flowers and fluffy clouds. I can hear birds singing to each other, dogs barking and trees swaying in the wind. I can smell salt from fish and chips and the fresh scent of lavender from the park. I feel happy because everyone is enjoying my heat and because I can see children having fun.
Clarisse Chan, 1M
I see big horses racing in the green hills and beautiful sunflowers swaying in the fresh air. I hear sloshing waterfalls and young birds flapping their wide wings. I taste all kinds of ice cream flavours from the beach and sizzling sausages from the barbecue down below. I smell fish and chips and the soft breeze from the trees. I taste the honey on toast and corn. Dora Chen, 1B
If I was the sun, I would feel very hot, cool and happy. If I was the sun, I could see balls and children playing. If I was the sun, I could smell concrete, fresh flowers, food and beaches. If I was the sun, I could taste flowers, sweet food and smoke. If I was the sun, I could hear wind, singing and talking. Selina Zhang, 1H
Imagine you are an Ant
I can see long, wavy grass swaying in the breeze, a crumb from a chocolate chip cookie melting in the hot sun and human beings playing games at the fun park. I can hear bees buzzing around the garden, adults stomping like giants and dogs in the park barking loudly. I can smell vanilla ice cream melting on Emma’s hands, honey dripping from a fresh sandwich and the sweet nectar coming from flowers. I can taste brown dirt under my feet, sap trickling down the tree and the crumbs from children’s lunchboxes. I can feel the wind blowing towards me, the bumpy rocks under my feet and vibrations around me. I’m starting to feel nervous!

SENSORY DESCRIPTIONS
I hear the furious trees swishing in the beautiful breeze. I feel the spiky, prickly grass on my feet. I taste the juicy, juicy fruit on the floor. I smell the magnificent tasty strawberries that are too juicy for me, I go crazy. I see the beautiful trees all around me and the tablecloth that is like an ocean.
Stephanie Zhao, 1B I hear a really big bobcat roaring like thunder and a loud cougar roaring too. I see giant ruby red strawberries right in front of me rolling like massive boulders. I smell salmon and avocado, fish and chips. It smells like yummy teriyaki chicken. I taste nice juicy green fresh yummy grass which tastes like lychee lollipops with watermelon. I feel the soft soil which feels like a soft bed in a forest. Alena Waterhouse, 1B
Imagine you are a Star
If I was a star, I might hear the owls hooting, cars vrooming and rain dropping down. If I was a star, I might feel freezing cold air and the sky. If I was a star, I might taste cars’ oil and dinner and wind. If I was a star, I might smell people, smelly feet, yummy food and fire. If I was a star, I might see big horses, the other stars and people in bed.

Sizzling Starts
The Lolly Factory Bang! A loud explosion was heard from inside the lolly factory... The Massive Shaper was completely broken and Skittles were flying everywhere out of the machine! Candy was exploding right in front of Rebecca’s eyes. She rushed to the exit, but a plume of smoke filled her eyes. She couldn’t see anything in front of her. Claire Zhou, 1M
Jelly snakes began flying through the air! The floor was covered with chocolate and lollies were spraying everywhere! The gummy snakes started popping out and filled the factory. Marshmallows were squashed and smashed on the wall. Candy canes were stuck to the machines and bubble gum was stuck to the floor. The light bulbs blew and there were lots of alarms. Lucy started running to the exit, but something was blocking the way! Eleanor Ren, 1M
The smell of the factory was really strange with all those hot, running candies. Looking around everywhere was a big mess; there were squishy burnt marshmallows, runny and melted gummy bears and a chocolate river bubbling as it boiled quickly and flooded the place! I heard the creamy icing falling with a big splat, making an even bigger mess. The milk tea rain landed right into the chocolate river, making the chocolate river rise and overflow the strong banks. My hands could feel crushed candy canes, runny gummy sweets being melted, and the chocolate river that had gone all over the place. The river was now a milk tea river with brown sugar, black milk tea pearls swimming like funny beach balls, doughnut floaties and black squishy jellyfish. All around I could taste hot and stretchy marshmallows, the runny gummy sweets, sticky chocolate and burning whipped cream. I felt miserable and terrified, with my heart thumping as fast as a cheetah. The factory workers felt frustrated and miserable with shock, while others were hungrily licking their lips in delight!

There was jelly in a pumpkin and when you eat it, it is magical, amazing and will make you fly. There was a huge lollypop. It is so powerful and will make you want to eat it. The lovely tulips were cups, they even had water in them and were edible. They have powers and were alive. If you eat or drink it, you will see its secrets too.

She wanted to play with Shimmer but then she noticed that Shimmer was gone! Sophie cried and said, “I don’t want Shimmer to be left behind.” She wanted to hug Shimmer so much that she cried and cried. Then Sophie remembered that she could go to the Park Ranger’s office. She ran to the Ranger’s desk to see if Shimmer was there. When she arrived, she saw her missing toy sitting there, looking at the rollercoaster! Sophie said to the ranger lady that the unicorn was hers and thanked her for looking after her. Sophie got her back and went home. When they arrived home, Sophie washed Shimmer and slept in bed.

The Missing Toy
Knock knock went the door. “Get dressed Charlie,” said Mum. Charlie just woke up because his mum shouted so loudly. He finished dressing and went downstairs so he could eat breakfast with his favourite toy, Teddy. After he finished his breakfast they all went to the golf course and, of course, Teddy came with them. When they were practising, Teddy was happily watching them. Suddenly, Charlie’s dad realised that he had forgotten all about his work! Quickly he told his wife and they all went rushing back to the car. Unfortunately, in the rush, they forgot all about Teddy! Uh oh! When the family picked up their dad from work they went home and started unpacking. Charlie suddenly realised with dismay that he had left Teddy at the golf course station. He told his family about it. Charlie almost cried, he couldn’t believe that he had left his favourite toy behind. At night everything was hopeless because Charlie always slept with Teddy. He had a bad dream about never seeing his favourite toy Teddy ever again. The next day Charlie felt sad and heartbroken. Suddenly his parents had an idea. They went to the golf course station to check if Teddy had been left behind. They went to check and Charlie thought that Teddy might have been found by the owner of the golf course. When Charlie asked the owner he was pleased. The owner gave him one of the toys that was from the lost and found and, thank goodness, it was Teddy! Charlie gasped! He said it was exactly his toy. He told his parents and they happily went home and Charlie gave Teddy a big wash to make him clean. Angelina Kim, 1D
