Bedtime Stories

Acro the Acrobatic and Amazing Alien by Sereen

One day an amazing alien named Acro from Goo Gunk planet landed on Earth.  When he got out of his spaceship he was shocked at what he saw.  He had landed in a zoo.  There were things that he had never seen before and he was trying his best to compare them to things on his planet.  He saw animals that reminded him of jumping joys and mega monsters.  When he left the zoo he began to shiver and shake as it was becoming creepy. 

He saw skyscrapers and houses that reminded him of space stations. He wanted to get back to his Goo Gunk planet but how was he going to get back without his blast off blaster that was damaged when he landed.

When he went back to his spaceship he tried to fix the blast of blaster but there weren’t any parts powerful enough. Soon he began to feel as hungry as a giant, luckily he had a yummy yogurt in his backpack to get him back on track.

Just then he saw a blast off blaster funky fixer in a shop.  The shop was closing down and it was free which was good because Acro had no money. He ran back quickly to fix his blast off blaster.  With a thud, click and whoosh he was home again at last on the glorious Goo Gunk planet.  Acro the amazing acrobatic alien had had an astonishing adventure.

Amelia the Amazing Alien by Gurleen

When Amelia the amazing alien landed with a THUD on planet Earth she had discovered that she was in the middle of a city.  She couldn’t believe her eyes! She saw all these aliens called humans.  She looked up and saw the sun.  It was shining as bright as the brightest star she had ever seen. “Where am I?” Amelia whispered to herself.

Amelia saw cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes, trains and many other forms of transport.  She was shocked. “Are these bugs on wheels?” she thought.  Amelia wanted to investigate this place more before going home to her planet.  

As she crossed the road there were cars everywhere.  The humans were shocked by her behaviour but Amelia didn’t care at all.  As she randomly walked into a lovely lolly shop she saw some chocolate chip cookies and thought they were power biscuits.  “Mmmm.mm…m.. as she munched on the power biscuits.  “These are delicious!” said Amelia. As she left the shop she looked up into the sky and saw a hovering helicopter which reminded her of a spacecraft.  I have enjoyed my time on planet Earth but I must go and return home to my planet.  Amelia flew off into space.  She couldn’t wait to share what she had seen on planet Earth.

The Mystery Creature by Cailin

Once in a peaceful street lived a young and beautiful girl called Lily.  One day Lily heard a clawing and scratching at the door. She opened the door but nothing was there.

The next day Lily heard the noise again.  She opened the door and peaked her head out the door.  Then she saw a long, green tail go around the edge of her house.  She looked around the corner of her house but nothing was there.

The day after, Lily was standing at her door waiting for the sound to come back. Then….CREEEEK! CLAAW! Lily quickly opened the door and couldn’t believe her eyes.  She saw a creature with the head of a lion, the body of a wolf, eyes of a dragon, legs of a tiger, tail of a lizard and teeth of a crocodile. To the creatures surprise Lily said, “Wow! You are so cool. Do you want to live with me?” The creature nodded.  “Yay!” Lily yelled at the top of her voice.  The creature and Lily stayed together and lived happily ever after until the creature EXPLODED.  No, the creature didn’t explode but it would have made a great ending!

The New School Girl by Mia

Our new class member was a little different.  To begin with she had a really weird name, Loopsylongsy.  She didn’t have any friends so one day when Angie, Sally and Milly were playing, Loopsylongsy asked if she could play with them.   They couldn’t say no because it was a rule at their school so they said yes.  They did gymnastics in the yard and Sally taught them how to do different somersaults because she was the most flexible person out of them all.  Loopsylongsy was good at somersaults because she had very, very long legs.

 

The next day they had sport and someone made Loopsylongsy angry.  Her face turned red and spots began to appear on her face.  Angie, Sally and Milly tried to calm her down but she was not happy.  “What’s wrong Loopsylongsy?”, asked Milly.  “I don’t like sport and I don’t like this school” she said. Every week Loopsylongsy found something to complain about.

At the end of that year she moved schools.  No one needed to deal with Loopsylongsy ever again and we wish her well!!!
