My life story starts in Norway when I became a thrall at the age of five. My mother sold me for ten shillings to a very wealthy family. I did all the work for them in the house , from cleaning dishes to knitting clothes together. After all the work I did for them they still did not let me go Now the princess was dying in a matter of days. I had five days to live or so I thought. I tried to make the best of those days and I took some of their finest food and wine When the time arrived I had to go inside with the dead princess. I begged them to let me go but they just wouldn't listen.When they started to put the soil over the ship-coffin I started to worry even more .I never thought it would be this bad. When I was all buried and everyone was gone my mother came to rescue me.She gave me her hand to help me up. Then we took the princesses possessions, buried her again and became very wealthy people.

I have to work hard because I'm scared that they will sale me any time the master wants. After work my back does hurt and my hands are swollen. When I saw another pair of warriors and I told the master that they are going to burn the houses. When they burn the houses down we will have to run to the round tower. Then we will be safe they will never caught us in the round tower. They will never climb up the round tower and if they do. I will push them down the round tower and they will try to throw. Then they went away because they could not get into the round tower window we were safe and we build our homes again.

be more fun. Next morning had to cut crops for him. I was really tired.

I think this is good because it was good when Ross caught Selina Webb
trying to steal the postcard
from Rosses house and when Ross, Kenny and Jamie fining out about who
Miss Thalbet really
was, and how Max had pushed Merlin Clarke off the hill and how after that
Merlin Clarke
married Max and how everybody thought it was Selina Webb who had pushed
Merlin Clarke off
the hill. It was a very exciting story and I couldn't wait to hear what
happened next, it had a good
ending because nobody knew who had pushed Merlin Clarke off the hill.
I think it was a very
good story but the author could have made the beginning a bit better because
the beginning
was very boring. If I gave it a rating I would give it 7 out of 10.

The Postcard Riddle 2
Our teacher read us a book. It was called the Postcard Riddle. It was
written by John Escott. The main characters are Jaime, Kenny and Ross.
Other characters are Unity McPhee, Merlin Clark, Selena (aka Mrs.Talbit
) and Liz Dalton. It was middling at the start but as the story went on
it got very exciting. The best part was when Selena tried to steal the
postcard she wanted. Here is a bit of the story. Jaime, Kenny and Ross
become suspicious of Mrs Talbit, so they decide to search her room for
clues. After that they found out that Mrs Talbit is not Mrs Talbit she
is actually Selena.
Jaime, Kenny and Ross found out that Merlin Clark was a famous actor who
had an accident in 1976 which ended her career. Jaime, Kenny and Ross
suspect Selena, who on the postcard they found out was also an actor,
pushed Merlin Clarkover the cliff. Liz Dalton said that Merlin Clark and
Selena were enemies. I think that's enough to tell you. If you want to
find out what happens read The Postcard Riddle. My rating of the book
was 5 out of 10.
The Postcard Riddle 3
I think "the postcard riddle" was a very good book .I would give it 7/10 because it was a bit boring at the start .The most exciting part was when they were just about to find out who tried to kill Myrna Clark by pushing her down a cliff. I think everyone thought it was Selina Webb but it was really Max her late husband who told her just before he died .I thought it was kind of confusing with all the names .When the two famous actors were on top of the ruins of the old castle I thought one of them were dead for sure .In the end the postcard didn't have that much to with story because it led them to the wrong person.

The Postcard Riddle 4
At the very start of the story I found it very boring but as it went on it got less boring and less boring. The names of the three children were Ross Jamie and Kenny. These three children were exelent reporters. They found out who tried to kill Myrna Clark and the killer was her husband Max. Who told his wife five years before he died. Even though everybody thought it was Selina Webb who tried to kill her.

The Fire 2
My friend invited me to a sleepover. I said ok. So I went over. His family
was nice; they offered me Coke and cookies. I took the cookies and the
Coke. We went outside. I bet him 10-7 in football. We watched television
for a while. It was time for bed. I slept on the floor. At about 3.35
am I woke up. I smelt a weird smell,
Fire!
Everyone was up now. I crawled downstairs following everyone. We made
it out. We ran away as soon as everyone was out. Within 5 minutes the
house was burned. Everyone to the police station. That morning Mam and
Dad came to collect me.
When we got home Mam and Dad were talking about the fire. They suggested
that we have 2 firedrills a week. So every week we have 2 firedrills.
Luckily we have not had a fire I hope it stays that way !

Go to bed said my mum. It was Christmas eve and I couldn't go to sleep because I was too excited. Eventually I fell asleep. I woke up a couple of hours later and I felt quite warm. I crept down the stairs because I wanted to get my presents first, but when I got into the sitting room the tree was on fire! Suddenly there was a loud shrill from the fire alarm. Seconds later my family came running down the stairs. Meanwhile the sitting room was up in flames.
My mum called 911 and immediately we were out of the house. A minute later we could hear the faint sound of a fire-truck.When they got to the house the whole house was on fire.It took them a couple of minutes to hose down the house.
When were allowed to go in I leaned up against the burnt chair I fell
out of my bed and it was just a dream.
The Fire 5
One day a couple of months ago there was a fire in my house. It all happened
while I was watching a television programme. I fell asleep because I had
been up late the before at my brother's eighteenth brithday party. I woke
up and there was a strange smell and a strange crackling sound. I realised
that a coal had fallen out of the fire and the floor was on fire!
The first thing I did was dial 999 on the telephone as my mother and father
were outside cleaning up the garden. Then I ran outside into the garden
and told my mother and father. There was nobody else at home at that time.
After about five minutes of waiting the County Fire Brigade had arrived.
There was flames and smoke coming out of everywhere. The County Fire Brigade
had the fire under control in a short time. Thankfully nobody was injured.

Week. My two brothers were with me mammy and
Daddy was in Majorca. I was in the kitchen watching
TV one day with my Auntie. Granddad was working in the shop and granny
was gone to pick up the boys from. Granddad came running into the kitchen
shouting fire. He said get out quick there is a fire in the shop. My auntie
took my hand and we ran outside. Granddad closed the doors and ran after
us. He called the fire brigade There was smoke everywhere. The fire brigade
came very quickly. It was a very big fire. There was 10 fire brigades
there . The fire brigade were worried because there was petrol tanks outside
the shop and gas inside. They worked very hard to put the fire. It took
a long time
Granny got a fright when she came home and saw the flames.
