Grandparents are important because they are helpful, because they teach you how to bake cakes and pie. They might knit you a cosy jumper which most of the time you don’t like but you have to wear. A granny would look well nice, with curly  hair, a woolly jumper, nice slippers and an old granny’s bag.

Grandparents are important because they love you and they help you. Everybody loves their granny. Most grannies say, ‘Yoohoo, Sweetie. Come here and give your granny a kiss!’ Granddads might say, ‘Come on, give your granddad a huggy wuggy.’

They might bake with you, sing with you, knit you a spotty jumper or stripy gloves that are yukky. They might expect you to show them how to work the internet. They think that you are helpful and that is right! You should help your grandparents because they’re old and you should respect them. She might bring you sweeties and apples.

Grandparents are important because they are part of the family. They help look after you. They take you places. They give you your favourite foods. They help you when your mum and dad can’t. You get a sweetie every time you go to their house and stay up late… sometimes until 1am. When they are on holiday they let you watch their tv. But most of all they love you and care about you. Sometimes it is scary to be so far away from your mum and dad but you have to remember that your grandparents are there.

At midnight my brother was having a party and suddenly the loud music stopped. Everyone screamed, this place is haunted, lets get out of here. When everybody left there was a shadowy figure on the pitch dark stage. Out of the corner of my eye all I could see were two red eyes in the darkness. I was terrified. I ran to my mum. Aahh!! What’s the matter, she said. There’s red eyes over there and the music stopped. This house is haunted! My mum said, no the house isn’t haunted. The red eyes are your rabbit and we’ve just had a power cut!

One day Emily came round to my house and she slept over. We were watching TV when the TV went off. All I could see was two red eyes. Me and Emily screamed and my dad came rushing down. What is the matter? We saw two red eyes! Out of the shadows there was a vampire. Help, we said, there is a vampire in my room. When the vampire came out we saw it was Ryan dressed up. Booo! Ryan said. You scared me, Emily said. Then there was a noise. I bet that is a real vampire, I said to Emily. Shwoop…… what was that? Just the wind. I think…….

I was in the middle of a dark, scary forest when suddenly all I could see were two red eyes, staring at me. Having decided that I had to try to escape from it, I ran for my life. I thought it was a werewolf. As I glanced behind I saw he was still chasing me. Then there was a big howl. Finally he turned round. I started to slow down to catch my breath. Suddenly I walked into a tree and fell over. “Ouch,” I said. I got up and dodged the trees before I hurt myself again. I started to run like mad……

On Friday we had a visit from singer, musician and teacher,Matthew Todd. He entertained the children with a ballad and some very funny singing games, followed by a reading from his  novel, For the King. The children were transfixed throughout the session, and as always their behaviour and enthusiasm was outstanding! Thank you Matthew, come back soon!

We had lots of fun on Wednesday playing games and dancing at the BP centre with P5/20. Check out the spooky costumes.
