YouTube Oh no!
by Oliver, William and Joseph
East Ayton School
A boy and a crab were stood in the forest watching Youtube videos on the boy’s phone when something crazy happened!
“ARRRGHHHHH!” screamed the boy as they both get sucked into the phone and the phone is lost on the forest floor.
“Oh my gosh! we’ve been sucked into the phone!”
“CRRRAARRRRRRRRRRK” screamed the crab.
They hear a noise. “What is it?” asks the boy.
Arrgghhhhhh! Santa runs out of the trees!
“You’ve been naughty” laughs Santa and gets a machine gun out of his pocket. Santa sees a ghostly version on Peppa Pig and his family and begins to shoot them.
“Im Peppa Pig! This is my little brother George, this is Mummy Pig and this is Daddy Pig!”
But then Darth Vader appears and starts fighting with Santa forcing them both into an evil lava land!
“Look crab, look!” shouts the boy as suddenly the Beatles came out of nowhere and said “We are here to destroy you with a nuclear power virus!”
And they blew up everyone and the phone was destroyed and they were lost forever away from the nuke.

The Seagull, the Flounder and the Shark
by Owen, Catherine, Keira and Iggy
East Ayton School
Sarah the Seagull was flying over the deep, blue ocean one day when she met Flounder the Fish. They became good friends. Weeks became months and months became years and they never left each others side.
One day, Sarah looked out at the sea, she saw odd waves coming towards them. She grew very scared and called to Flounder “I will go have a look from above!” She realised what it was and returned to Flounder shouting “It’s a shark! You go and I will hold him off!”
As the shark approached, he opened his vicious jaws and ate Sarah the Seagull whole! “Mmmmmmmm seagull! My favourite!” he said.
Inside the shark, Sarah had survived and was inside his stomach, she began to peck her way to freedom! She burst out and flew over to Flounder to tell her what happened.
The shark bled to death and slowly sank to the ocean floor.
Because of Sarah’s bravery, no one ever again feared to the shark that lurked in the deep, blue ocean.

The Seagull in the Sea
by Jack, Dan and Ben
In a rough, raging sea sat a battered old seagull, bobbing about on a buoy. The wreckless storm shook the separating waters and dragged the buoy towards a whirlpool that now lay in the centre of the sea.
The old seagull was now stuck in a sticky situation. Spiralling towards the choppy whirlpool, the remote sea was now a dangerous territory.
There was no escape for the worn out seagull. The monstrous whirlpool was matched up with it’s easiest opponent yet. Down he went, tumbling to a possible death.
The seagull awoke to his amazement to an underwater city terrorised by fish intruders that were scattered around. Something about this city felt very forbidden but he had no time to speak, he was being attacked by a tuna intruder!
“HELP!” he cried
“I’m going to make you into a tuna sandwich!!” replied the tuna intruder.
Then out of nowhere came a whale. The seagull latched onto it and held on with all his might. The whale swam to the surface and the seagull escaped.

The Fly and The Spider
by Jack, Harry and Kieran
East Ayton School
A spider was looking for food, but became distracted when he saw a butterfly. He chased after it and went so far that he got lost.
Eventually he found a fly and said “I am lost! I was chasing a butterfly and lost track, now I don’t know where I am”
“OK” said the fly, “I can get you out of this forest! but on one condition, promise not to eat me! Because you’re a tarantula and kind of scary and hairy”
“I promise!” said the spider! And so the fly picked him up and flew him to safety out of the forest. As he felt the weight of the spider, the fly asks “You haven’t eaten my brother or sister have you? Because you weigh a flipping ton!”
They landed outside the forest and then the spider attacked! As he was dragged away, he called out to anyone who would listen “SAVE ME!”
His last words as the spider ate him were;
“GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD!”

The Deep, Dark Wood
by Maddison, Evie and Isabelle
East Ayton School
The mist rolled in from the sea and the wind whistled through the trees.
“It’s too late James!” Amy whispered “let’s head back”
“OK” answered James “Come on Gem!” he called to their dog.
Their little balck and white puppy looked at them with beging eyes as the tail slapped the ground.
“No, we are going home!” yelled James at Gem.
They turned round and started to head home, suddenly James fell to the ground and he let go of Gem’s lead. She ran like lightening into the deep, dark wood. All the children could see was Gem’s black and white fur disappearing deep into the wood. They looked at eachother in horror.
“What shall we do?” whispered James.
The two of them wandered aimlessly deeper into the woods in search of their missing dog. As they got further into the woods, things got a little bit creepier.
“James, I am too tired to go any further” said Amy. They sat down and watched the glistening river flow by.
Suddenly, they heard a yelping and howling from the other side of the river.
“It’s a ghost!” whispered James.
“Let’s go see what it is!” cried Amy.
“NO!!” yelled James, who was being a chicken.
Amy hurdled over the stepping stones to go and investigate. She leant over the hole and collapsed to the ground howling.
“What is wrong?” yelled James
“Come here!” shouted Amy.
James stumbled over and looked in the hole. He felt very embarrassed when he saw that it wasn’t a ghost at all, it was Gem!
They lifted her out and took her home, it was 9pm when they got back but at least they had Gem.

Aimee screams.
The spider slowly crawls over towards Mummy Talyor and bites her leg. Mummy Taylor turns into a robot, she goes over to the children and starts to bury them.
The children keep digging to see where the spider came from. They dig deeper and deeper until they hit something solid, they break through and are falling and falling till realise they are in Dr Who’s tardis.
Amy: This is all your fault Aiden!
Narrator: Suddenly Aimee pushes Alex onto a button, they feel the ground moving beneath them.
As they fell they flew out of the telephone box. It was cold where they fell and they were covered in mud. They saw a house, and thought they would go inside.
Alex told Aimee he had seen a house like this in Victorian times.
There is a teacher in the room, his back turned and he is writing on the board. He hears them talking and turns around.
He starts throwing chalk at them, but as he got angrier he started growing more legs and the children realised it was a squid.
Water begins to fill the room and mum floats away. The children jumped out of the room and began to shrink, holding on to mum just incase the spider came back.
The squid attacked Alex, Alex threw the squid and it attacked mum.
The squid suddenly had a robot head. Alex punched the head right off.
Then the ground was moving and they were back on the beach. There was a boy covered in seaweed.
Mum said it was time to go home.
When they got there, there was a note on the door telling them to brush the chalk off them.

They went to sleep and dreamt of what a weird day they had had.
They heard an evil laugh under the bed and out jumped the spider. Mum knocked on the door to see what had happened.
