  3. Alison & Dawn

    It was a cold night and Alison and Dawn were having a sleepover. Alison and Dawn were best friends.Dawn has long brown hair that she always wore in a pony tail and Alison had long jet black hair with a block fringe she always wore down. They were on Dawn’s laptop and were watching videos on YouTube. When they had shut it down Dawn said to Alison “When can I can I come over to your house? I mean I never get to come over.” Alison replied “Dad doesn’t like it when friends come over, he said they will mess up the mansion.” But Alison had a secret, a secret she had never told Dawn or anybody else……

    When it was morning Dawn’s mum, Kelly asked Alison “Are you sure you don’t want me to drive you home?” Alison said “No thanks but I want to walk home, I need to get some fresh air anyway.” When Alison went home Dawn started to talk to her mum she asked why she never got to go over to Alison’s house Her mum said “It’s because her Dad doesn’t like anybody messing up the house.” “Yeah I guess but couldn’t she just tell her dad that I wouldn’t mess up the house and if I did I would clean it up.” Dawn replied.
    “I know what I’ll do I’ll follow her home next time she comes over then I can ask to come over and she’ll have to say yes.” So that is exactly what Dawn done. She was very surprised when she came to a foster home.

    Dawn knocked on the door and asked for Alison the skinny woman went to find her . The woman told her to come in an wait for Alison.The house had bright yellow walls and a picture of everyone that lived there. Dawn saw Alison’s picture and she was hugging two other little girls that looked identical to Alison . When Alison saw Dawn she looked embarrassed. Then Dawn asked her Why she had lied. Alison replied “ I was embarrassed to tell you I lived in a care home so I didn’t invite you over.” Dawn said “ I don’t care where you live you’ll always be my best friend and you shouldn’t embarrassed that you live in a care home, so anyway now I’m here can I come in?” “Yes” Alison said. “Who are those little girls in your picture Alison?” asked Dawn “There are my twin sisters Jessie and Josie” replied Alison and the two of them hugged and walked into the front room.

  4. the cellar was dark and the wall were slimy and mouldy the floor was covered with soot.people would have a feeling its not a great place to be.

  5. Here are my answers:

    A cold, dark celar underneath George and Dragon.
    Slimy walls with mould.
    Its celing festooned with cobwebs.
    Hundreds of black oily sacks were piled in towering stacks on the floor.
    The stale air was heavy with the stench of soot.
    One door with about 50 bolts on it.

He was very chubby and had a long white beard and big blue eyes. kris has a family a wife called laura and two children a boy called dane and a girl called Lucy. They only often seen their father because he often went missing during the day.

    When he steped inside the massive toy shop, you could see little men making all sorts of toys there were big ones, small ones and toys of all sizes.

    Kris said ” Are the toys ready for the ‘ transport’ yet ?”
    One of the helpers replied ” yes sir we are just wrapping them now”. kris smiled with a cheeky grin and said ” ok ill be back on the 24th of December to get the toys”.

    Off kris went to a small wooden shelter where there lay two reindeer Dancer and Prancer, kris got some feed for them and they munched away happily. Kris went home and has a hot bath and some milk and cookies. He then went to bed.

    The next day he woke up and snuck out of the house and went to his fabulous toy shop. the small men were sleeping on the tabels. kris woke one of them and said ” is everything ready yet ?”. The helper replied “yes and they’re on the transport” “great” replied Kris.

    Kris went and visited his ‘transport’ securing the sacks of presents.

    He left home that night in a big red and white suit and shiny black boots. he got Dancer and Prancer strapped on to the ‘transport’, and suddenly ………….

    The ‘transport’ began to fly accross the night sky, he visited children all across the world and left them presents.

  14. The cellar was cold dark and slimy. It wasn’t very plesant down there. It was filled with ugly old sacks. There was mould growing all over the walls. There was a big wooden door with heavy bolts that slide into place.

  15. The celler was dirty it had cobwebs all over the place and stacks of the on the floor too I wouldent recomend staying there over night to be honest and I dont think any one else would! and it was dark and damp too !
