Imagination Poem Ava SWW

Imagination Poem!

My imagination began when
I danced on a rainbow and
slept on a cotton cloud.
When a humming bird
perched on my index finger and
a robin perched on the other.

I found it,
trapped inside my palm,
waiting to be claimed.
I found it drizzling in the rain.
I found it growing on a guava tree.

My imagination can
spark like flint against steel,
tell a story about anything
that enters brain and
grow like a flower blooming
on a summers day.

If I lost my imagination
my world would turn dark,
my imaginative dreams would end
growing like a rosewood tree.
The guava tree would be gone.
Nothing would be here without imagination.

Evacuee Letter (recount) By Ava SWW

Dear Mum,
What a amazing time I have had already! Quietly, when the train began to leave, I sat in the itchy chair thinking about crying but I couldn’t get Noah and Freddie scared. I thought about all of the fabulous adventures that were waiting for me in Stone and how I would see you again one day. You will never believe it! I saw a mysterious animal which I think is called a cow!
Thanks so much for the cheese sandwich and toffee treat it was really lovely: kept me full up the entire way! The train journey honsetly wasn’t that bad at all. I met a kind girl called Ella Thompson, she shared her comic books with me! Freddie and Noah are doing great, really they are. They have also made a friend who is looked after by Ella. I am looking after the boys just as you said -they havn’t left my sight- and (by the way) Noah is still talking about having a dog in the new house!

Finally, after being on the train for many hours, we stopped at a hault. Suitcases were snapped shut like a group of crocodiles, tears were wiped away and some even cheered. Eventually, we were escorted to the village hall. I continued to bite by lip and breathe heavy. I had never felt so nervous in my life. A few minute later the billeting officer called my name, “Violet Jones!” I shook waiting to hear the boys names: they didn’t call them. I sat pretending that my name wasn’t Violet. Suddenly, the billeting officer began to check tags and thats when I got worried. I cried harder than I ever had before. She was going to send me away with a middle aged woman who was as tall as me! Now that’s when Anne stepped in; when she saw how devastated I was she argued with this lady and sent her out of the hall. Anne is lovely! She cooks us all delicious meals: bread and butter, cheese, eggs and sausage.

Freddie and Noah collect the eggs whilst I milk the cow. After we finish our jobs we play tag on the huge field. But we have not been to school yet which is unusual. Anyway, I have run out of paper.
Love you Mum! Miss you soooo much! I hope to see you soon.
Lots of love, Noah, Freddie and Vi!

Airship Ava SWW

Chapter 4

Ivy dreamed. Her mothers voice played in her head like a never ending movie tape. She could smell her mother’s cupcakes that she would bake for her when she was feeling down. But as she reached out for her mothers hand she disappeared and Charlotte stole the painting. 7 long years had passed and those 7 years had been the worst years of her life.

Ivy woke with a start. It felt like she had been struck by lightning. Bright sun burned her eyes. Jack stared at her with bags under his eyes. It looked like he had no sleep. “Ivy you kept me up all night with that terrible nightmare!” Jack shouted, scowling.
Confused, she tilted her head and looked at Jack. It looked as if something wasn’t right.
“I had a dream not a nightmare silly!” she laughed.
Jack squinted his eyes. A few moments later, Ivy had a glimpse of what happed and wondered if it was a dream or a nightmare.
“By all ticks its time we run we have no time to waste!” Rolo yapped.
Quickly, Rolo sped away knowing that we would follow behind.

Ivy and Jack followed after Rolo. Rolo bounded up the wooden walkway sniffing the floor. He rubbed his wet black nose across the wood sniffing for the horrible smell of dried paint. At that moment Ivy saw a small figure in the distance. Suddenly, she held her breath as she saw the bright colourful painting be dropped into a deep hole. Jack saw it to.
“Its Charlotte, she’s digging up the painting. The 3 musketeers sat on the dried grass and waited for Charlotte to leave the field. About 20 minutes later, Charlotte finally left the field with the painting in the ground.
“But Ivy there is one problem. What if she sees us through the huge windows.” Jack asked worried.
Ivy took a breath. The air was silent. Without warning, a memory popped into Ivy’s head.
“She wont see us, she always stays around the back of the house. I don’t know why she just does.” Ivy exclaimed. Its time to get the painting.

“Rolo dig the painting up.” Jack adored.
Rolo kicked back mud, scoped up soil and ate worms, woodlice and centipedes as he looked for the painting.
“Sorry that I’m taking a ticking long time she has digged this painting so deep!” Rolo yapped.
Ivy and Jack both smiled at him. About 5 minutes later Rolo felt something hard in the ground. He started to dig faster. Within 10 seconds the painting was free. Gingerly, Ivy pulled the painting out from the mud and brushed dirt of the painting with her bare hand. She sighed in relief. The painting was finally in her hands.

Her fathers airship loomed above the 3 musketeers. Ivy turned around just to see if the coast was clear. Without warning, a familiar face popped into view.
“Thieves, pocket pinchers, airship-looters!” roared Charlotte, charging towards the airship. She ran at a good speed for her size. Without hesitating, Ivy grabbed the ships guide ropes and slung the hooks to one side.

Immediately, the ship rose from the grass and ran through the thick air. Ivy, Jack and Rolo stared out of the window to see Charlotte stamping her feet like a 5 year old. She blew insults up to use but all they could see was a horrible adult who betrayed my mother. They turned their heads to see Ivy’s father tied up in ropes. Ivy dashed over to him and untied the knot that was surprisingly, not tied tight. Thick tears ran down her fathers face. He hugged Ivy as tight as he could. Happiness filled his heart.

The bright sun warmed hearts. They flew over tall mountains. It was a beautiful evening. Jack was now apart of their lovely family. Rolo snoozed on Ivy’s lap. They where all happy.

Chapter 3 Ava SWW

Recently, its been extremely scorching in the countryside and Ms Wilson had got Freddie into reading books about fascinating adventures, during the story there was a mysterious deer and Freddie convinced that he had seen the exact deer that was described in the book. In the countryside it was super quiet, everyone’s was kind to each other and they all worked together as a large community; occasionally you’ll get that one toe-rag that disagrees with everyone but other than that it was great, where as in the city it’s loud, no one worked together and the majority of the time people were unpleasant. Freddie loved it there! Butterflies didn’t swim around in his stomach; his head had no worries and there were so many wonderful things to do. His mum would’ve really loved it there: when she was younger all she wanted was a garden full of flowers, cows to milk and an ocean to listen to as she fell to sleep. Hopefully, his mum will come and visit soon!

Annoyingly, the school day felt unbelievably long: he’d been waiting all day to go see the deer, that he’d named Felix, all day. Ms Wilson is the person that introduced Felix to Freddie but she told him to never visit Hundred Acre Wood ALONE-she told him that it was out of boundaries.
I run up Ashgrove Hill, crouch down, crawl past the house and dash into Hundred Acre Wood where I’ll meet Felix. Suddenly, I hear something rustle in the bush. I breath slow and tell myself that its just an illusion. It begins to walk out of the bush, I can’t see it, darkness hides its identity. Slowly, I walk back turning my head back at my every step. Without warning, it revealed itself. Freddie sighed in relief, “Thank goodness it’s just you Felix!” Freddie felt safe here but was confused on why he was hidden. Placing her hand out to show that it’s safe, Felix gingerly stumbled over to him. Injured? He glanced down at his leg. It was horrible, words can’t even describe it. A poster pinned onto a silver birch tree pulled my attention and I couldn’t help but look. UNIQUE DEER WANTED: PRIZE £100! A drawing of FELIX sat on the poster. My eyes watered, my lip trembled and I began to cry. “What on earth are you doing here Freddie Carter!”
I turned to Ms Wilson, holding the poster, “Come on, let’s go.”

 

Silently, they sat in the warm garden. They had nothing to say. “Freddie, I believe that hunters are looking for this deer to sell,” He couldn’t believe it. He had so many things to say but nothing could leave his mouth. They walked, so thoughts running through there head but they didn’t share anything. “I have seen this happen before, butchers have tried to steal our pigs and cows, there really is nothing that we can do.” Freddie knew that there was a way.

Freddie lay on his bed and stared up the patterned ceiling. So many throughs ran through his head and for the first time in ages butterflies swam in his stomach. Nothing would be solved by this problem; he began to think about giving up. Footsteps ran up the creaking stairs, his bedroom door slammed open and Ms Wilson exclaimed, ” Freddie I have a plan!”

Together they sat and spoke about the fantastic plan that was in store. “Agreed,” they bellowed.
“Okay, so we will need a large rope, my bed sheets, a bandage and a head light.”
Suddenly, a thought popped into Freddie’s head, “What if we see a hunter.”

Endurance Poem By Ava SWW

The moon hangs above the deck.
Stars haunt the crew
affecting the captain’s ability to lead.
Clouds silently swirl,
sucking the future into the abys.

Whistling wind screeches with sadness
as the Atlantic Ocean mouths a command.
Rough waves rock the Endurance left to right.
Husky’s bark like a never ending movie tape
at the sound of waves crashing through the ice.

In the distance,
pods of whales whistle.
Dolphins sadly smile.
Sharks carve through
the royal blue water
searching for pray.
The crew lay breathlessly
dripping with blood.
The ship, Endurance caused,
and will always cause death.

A egg found By Ava SWW

Chapter 3
3 days later Jack and I sit together in front of the fire (with a cosy blanket) and share a huge Baggett. Outside, the rain is hammering down on the roof and the wind whistles. Inside, music plays and the heater is on full blast. My coat is still drying on the radiator and Jacks jumper is rolling around in the washing machine. I roll my eyes as Jack jumps up onto two feet and begins, “Harley, I really really want to do something, I promise that you will want to do it to,” he has paused at the look on my face, “umm.. lets go see the sharkamander, come on it will be so exciting I know where it lives, don’t worry its not dangerous!”
I grab my coat, zip it up and prepare myself for a adventure.

Terrified, he steps back: I stare out of the window with my eyes squinted and then I turn my head to stare at Jack widening my eyes. Whilst I have been working for hours Jack has been searching the sandy beaches when I thought that he was shopping for late night Friday movie night snacks! I was a fool to think that Jack would do that. The entire time he was collecting evidence!

I snatch my room keys from Jacks coat pocket and make sure that I locked up the room. I turn my back to see that Jack has already ran out of the hotel. Gasping for breath, I see Jack staring out to the sand. I race over to Jack and place my hand on his shoulder. I battle against the ferocious wind. He grins: a sign in bright red letters spells out “DO NOT ENTER THE BEACH!” he wastes no time and quickly runs over to the beach steps, jumps over the caution tape and dashes down the sandy steps. Slowly, he disappears into the mist. He isn’t in sight. I run over to the steps and have no choice but to follow him.

I sigh in relief when I see Jacks face. I now know what he was talking about last night: a huge whale was sitting up on the shore dead. Blood poured out of the bite mark into the sea. I stepped back. Jack stepped forward. “Jack stop come back here now, its dangerous!”
He didn’t listen. “Its amazing, so fascinating come on treasure this moment!” he shouts a smile up to his ears.
I’m not following him, not this time. I have a strong feeling that Jack keeps leading me into trouble. I shouldn’t be here.

In the distance I see something. Something that is glowing bright. Really bright. I begin to walk over to it. Jack sees me and shouts, “Hey! Harley where are you going!” I ignore him. My walk has now turned into a run. I can feel Jack running behind me. Now I’m only a few steps away from this… thing. I stop. Jack held my arm and stared down at the thing mesmerised. I crouched down to inspect it closer. A egg. It was a deep royal blue colour. I rummaged around in my coat pocket hoping to find my glasses. Carefully, I put them on and took a closer look at the egg. Fascinating. I was so interested. I stared at the egg, so many thoughts running through my head. It was the sharkamanders egg.

My eyes filled up with water. “Come on we need to go.” I whisper tugging Jacks jumper. He shook his head. Jack pushes me behind him. We both step back. I feel sick. There is nothing that Jack can do. Slowly, the sharkamander growled. It opened its mouth and dagger-like-teeth froze my body. I clap my eyes together and hold Jacks hand tight.

As a result of time by Ava SWW

As a result of times.

As a result of spring- flowers bloom and blanket the fields.​
As a result of winter- ice hung from finger like branches.​
As a result of October- families race to the carwash​
As the result of September- parents bring out the coffee.​
As a result of summer- cookie doe ice cream slowly drips of the soggy cone.
As a result of night- stars bow down to the moon.
As a result of morning- sun shines through the crevice of the curtains.
As a result of ice- parent are called to collect their injured monkeys.
As a result of the A38- cars slowly stride their way to work.
As a result of books- teachers get lost in words upon words hoping that they will never get out.
As a result of Court Meadow Road- cheeky children constantly chat.
As a result of All Saints Church- bells bang together like symbols in a band.
As a result of the abandoned home- ivy spun around the house as uninvited people entered. ​

Lady Lancaster Manner By Ava SWW

Chapter 2

Lady Lancaster Manor was silent. Anxious, Ivy inspected the manor. Outside, Lady Lancaster Manor, trees swayed in the howling wind. Autumn leaves crunched under her feet as she gingerly stepped closer to the bulky brown door. Along the stretched driveway lay smashed glass which worried Ivy and Jack. Ivy tugged her hair clip from her messy brunette hair and passed it over to Jack. He walked to the door, placed the hair clip into the key hole and twisted it a few times until it opened. As they pulled the bulky door open it wasn’t the usual warmth that Ivy was used to. Instead the house felt abandoned and unwelcoming. Inside the manor, cobwebs sat in every corner holding hundreds of flies. Dust sat on the antique furniture and books were scattered on the cracked floor.

Ivy and Jack ran up the stairs and headed for her old bedroom. Rolo sniffed around looking for clues. As they entered her room memories ran through their minds. The room was exactly the same as how she left it. The bed still wasn’t made, her old doll sat against her bedside table and the painting that she treasured hung elegantly on the wall. The painting was safe!

Mesmerised, Jack carefully unhooked the painting from the wall. Ivy hadn’t seen the painting for some many years that she forgot what was painted. It was a painting of some type of airship painted in her mothers distinctive style. Their jaws dropped.
“This must have been what everyone has been looking for, your mamas airship invention, this must be worth a fortune and would put some people out of business to!” shouted Jack “No wonder he has enemies!”
“This has to be what all of the fuss is about then!” Ivy whispered staring at the painting.

“Indeed it is.” Came a voice from the hallway.
Ivy, Jack and Rolo spun around. Ivy bit her nails, Jack bit his lip and Rolo stepped backwards. Ivy gasped. Immediately, Ivy recognised the voice. It was her mothers old friend, Charlotte Davis. He moved his face into view. He smiled but it was not a nice smile.
“I have been waiting for you to lead me to your mothers design…Ivy. I knew that she would’ve hidden it somewhere but I didn’t know that it would be this easy. Well I will take that, if you don’t mind.” she said, snatching the priceless painting.

A few moments later Ivy, Jack and Rolo were locked in the basement that was full of old antiques. There wasn’t a singe window. The door was locked with a heavy sofa on the other side. “I can’t believe her, she betrayed mama. When mama was in hospital she promised to look after me no matter what. He double crossed mama.” Ivy cried.
“Ivy there is know way that we will get out of here and save the painting!” Jack exclaimed. Ivy nodded her head in agreement.
“Are you guys being serious, of course we will!” Rolo yapped. “We are going to get out of here and save this painting that will change the world!” Jack and Ivy shook their heads in disagreement.
“Ha good luck with that!”mumbled Jack hoping that Ivy didn’t hear.
He stared at the damp floor in regret.

Chapter 1 The Painting By Ava SWW

Prologue
Rolo gazed out of the Eagle Views window as the Lady airship sped towards them. He saw the ladies on the ship pull out harpoon guns that shone in the bright sun like a valuable piece of gold, and looked like they were ready to attack. Quickly, Rolo’s ears pointed at the bang of loud canons. He sneezed at the familiar smell of burning wood that ran up his nose. Turning to the captain Stone, Rolo stood on 4 legs and walked the exit and waited for captain Stone to follow. Rolo barked ” Captain, come on all ready, its time you jump! Humans before mechanimals!”

Chapter 1 The Painting
Pulling the upstairs door of Tide Orphanage, Ivy Stone scanned the small playground. Nobody was in sight so she quickly stepped outside into the freezing cold weather, placed her shoes on the slippery tree and heavily jumped into a pile of wet leaves on the muddy grass. Without thinking, she ran to the old rusty gates and pulled her hair clip from her hair. After a few minutes of attempting to pick the lock she finally pushed the bulky gates open and entered freedom. She took her off her jumper and laid it on the slippery concrete and sat down against the wall to take a breath.

Once again Ivy carefully put her hand in her coat pocket and rummaged around for her father’s letter. She pulled out the letter and an empty chocolate rapper came out with it. Slowly, she read through the terrible news. Her Father, Miles Stone, had gone missing on his airship adventure. His airship, Eagle view, had been destroyed. The last words had been very strange, ” Keep your ideas flowing.” She hadn’t slept for many nights. Mostly every night she read through the letter in the laundry room until the sun came up. No matter how many times she read it she had no idea what it meant.

A few moments later, Ivy heard a distinctive yap and a familiar face that appeared from behind a parked car.
“Well it took you a ticking long time to get out of that prison!” Rolo snapped whilst shaking off crunchy leaves, “It took you so long that I thought you actually wanted to stay in that dreadful place. Now come on, give me a wind up. You know it takes a lot of energy to escape from those criminals!” Shouted Rolo.
“Rolo keep quiet or Madame Elizabeth will hear! I don’t want to go back in that terrible place do I. I am so shocked that you survived the crash!” Ivy whispered.
She smiled whilst winding up Rolo. His golden fur was covered in dirt from the crash and it looked like he was a brown dog! Other than a few sneezes Rolo was his grumpy but jolly self!

Later in the afternoon, Jack was surprised to see Ivy and Rolo lent against the wall of Lancaster art gallery. “Your mums priceless painting.” he said whilst placing his hand on her shoulder.
“Yes it is sadly.” she answered.
The painting was something that her mother painted for her when she was younger. Ivy kept it on her wall up to the age of 8. She was sent to Tide Orphanage when her mother died because her father was on airship adventures exploring the world. Sadly, the painting was the one thing that she couldn’t bring. Now the painting is wanted in many places. For many nights Ivy stayed awake and admired the colourful painting. A majestic parrot and a girl that looked just like Ivy was painted on it. She thought that it was crazy that she remembered every detail on it. Sadness grew inside of her and Jack could tell.
“Sorry Ivy.” he muttered whilst wrapping his arm around her.

Rolo yapped, “We have no time, come on already lets get on our way to Lancaster Manner!”
“But there are no trains!” Jack exclaimed.
Jack and Ivy stared at each other. A train was the only way that they could get there.
“I have another way.” Barked Rolo
