       A VISIT TO THE STONE COTTAGE
Have you ever used an old type writer from the 1800's?
The old typewriter was used by John Philip in the fencible era and the typewriter was very expensive for other people.

We went to visit the Stone Cottage.There was a man working there his name was Chris.First I looked in the lounge of the Stone Cottage there was a reindeer cup and a candle.We looked in the bedroom and I saw 2 scary dolls.

 I saw a shiny, rare mirror and I saw my reflection, it was a little blurry. In the kitchen I saw a wooden bellow. The wooden bellow is rusty, it had a face on it and when I blew it some dust came off

Upstairs I saw stones called the volcanic rock and the other was called the volcanic bomb. They looked massive, shiny, grey, extraordinary rocks.

I wish I could go to the Stone Cottage another time with my classmates.

                             ALL ABOUT ME
Brian was a Lion. He has three older brothers, two older sisters and two younger brothers and he also has two lovely, kind and generous parents.   

One day Brian and his family went on a hunt when they saw ten hungry hyenas. They fought the hyenas, one of them scratched Brian while the other hyenas got chased away by Brian's older siblings and Brian's dad. His family took him back to the Savanna in Africa where they live and they took good care of him.

After four weeks Brian started to get better.

Later Brian and his family went for a walk in the savanna and they saw the hyenas again. Then the hyenas ran away. So Brian and his family all went back home and ate dinner all together.
