A lovely story by Dea.

My life in the lost Atlantis.

I used to live in Atlantis, when I was a child. Unfortunately, one day something terrible happened.

I was walking along the road looking at the shops. It was a very beautiful, warm day, when I heard a noise. When I turned my head I saw big waves coming at me. I ran fast to my home. There was my mother and she took me from the hand. She told me ‘‘Don’t be afraid!'' I couldn't understand what was happening. All the people around me were running. The waves were terrible. After that, an earthquake began. The earth was shaking and the homes were being destroyed. We ran away.

We couldn't find my brother and my father. Later, we went to the port. My dad and my brother were waiting for us.  They had found a boat to take us away from the island. We went aboard and we left quickly. I was very sad, afraid and confused. Suddenly, I  saw the island sinking in the ocean from afar.

  From that day on we have been living in Crete, Greece. It’s beautiful here, but I‘ll never forget  Atlantis.

Bertie's Quest!

Bertie the frog, formerly known as the Prince is sent on a Quest to find a dinosaur for his fiancee as a present for her birthday.
This impossible quest is set as proof that he is still a prince. A real Prince wouldn't allow a little thing like extinction stop him from getting his wife-to-be a pet, would he?
What better place to start his search for the creature than The Natural History Museum in London!
Don't forget to check the wonderful photos Bertie has put on his story and listen / read the story!

Enjoy!!! Bertie's Quest Story on Storynory :)

Looooove Story!

What do you think will happen next? Can you finish the story? 

Is there a happy ending?

What are we reading this week?

Inspired by John's wall, 

I thought of asking all of you to share something you've read or have been reading this week.
Search for an article, a piece of news or a blog entry or some gossip perhaps (!) that caught your eye and post it here.
It could also be an extract from a book you've been reading. Write about it or something  from it.
I'm sure all of you have so many different interests that it would be extremely interesting to see what we can inform each other about and what a variety of topics we could discuss or how much we can learn about each other.

I can't wait for your comments with links! Don't keep me waiting, please:)

If you're wondering about John and his wall. There's a link to take you there on the right hand column under 'Links created by students' - enjoy!

This is what I've read and really enjoyed tonight. You all know what a 'breakfast bar' or ''cereal bar'' is but do you know what a ''mind bar'' is?

“Oh,” thought Katie, suddenly feeling a bit strange. For a moment she couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Every year her mum put on a very special Easter Egg hunt. Four or five of Katie’s best friends would come over, and they would search the house and the garden. It helped that Katie’s mum was a witch, because she could have all sorts of extra fun – she could make the eggs appear and disappear quite suddenly – she could even make them roll along the ground, grow bigger and smaller, or change colour in your hand. When the children were very young, they just accepted all this as something that happened only at Katie’s house – but as they grew older they of course realised that her mother had some powers that were a bit out of the ordinary. They didn't actually ask “Is your mum a witch?” because that would not be polite, but it was an open secret. Katie had always looked forward to the Easter Egg hunt in the past, but this year – well – she wasn't quite sure.

It was a glorious summer day when a couple of friends and I decided to go on a short boat trip. We were having a great time on the island and we wanted to explore more remote beaches. 

We took the little boat early that day and set off to visit some nearby beaches. We would visit two beaches which were highly recommended by the villagers. We spent most of the day swimming in wonderful crystal clear water and lying on the sand. We also went snorkelling and we enjoyed the sea as much as we could. We were so sad when it was time to pack our things and start our journey back.
