From out of my window by Anton
From our holiday villa in sunny Rarotonga I can see swimmers splashing abou in the beautiful blue sea.I can see the yellow sun shining brilliantly in the sk.I can hear the splashes of the white water hitting the sand.I can hear a huge cruise ship crashing through the waves.I can hear a man's feet sinking into the sand.I can see a boat speeding across the water with a water skier holding on tight as he glides over the water.I can smell the salt from the salty blue sea.I can taste a nice cold cup of water.I can feel the rough carpet making my feet nice and warm.

The Moon by Natasha
Charlie loved the moon. He had always wanted to fly up there but his thoughts told him that his dad would disagree instantly. But Charlie made a promise to himself that night that he would go up to the moon, someday.
For the past week Charlie had been in the work shed non-stop, only going out to get a drink of water and a sandwich. This had carried on for 5 days and Charlie was running out of time. He needed to finish the wings and test them before Sunday or otherwise he would never be able to fly to the moon like he had been dreaming. Charlie had found out that if he started flying at 8:00 at night on May 1st, a magic wind would carry him out to space unharmed but the magic wind would be going out of space again at 12:00.
It was Sunday night at 7:55. Charlie had 5 minutes to check all his equipment and be ready to fly. Charlie checked all his equipment and opened the window. 11 more seconds..10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1 and he was off. Charlie couldn't believe he was actually flying. He passed planets and stars and waved hello to some stunned astronauts. It was such a quick journey that he almost missed his stop but glided insmoothly just in time. When he landed on the moon it felt as if you could just touch it and it would go flying across the universe. Charlie could start to hear a soft whimper behind a rock somewhere. He looked and listened. Charlie slowly crept over to a gleaming rock. The whimpering got louder and louder. Charlie looked behind the rock and saw a deep hole and inside was a baby alien. The baby alien had two small fangs, 3 horns and antennae on his head. His ears were all furry and his eyes were very big. His hands were like pteradactols and were attached to his wings. Charlie pulled and pulled but it was no use. The alien was stuck inside the hole. Charlie looked around to see if he could use anything to lever the alien out of the hole and then his eye caught sight of an abandoned spaceship. It looked like it had been there for quite a long time because bits of metal were falling off. There was an old digger head lying on its side and Charlie thought he could use it to dig the little alien out. First Charlie found some rope inside the spaceship and tied one end on to a large rock and gave the other end to the alien. Then Charlie picked up the digger head (which was surprisingly light) and started to dig around the alien. The alien began to fall but grabbed the rope and pulled itself up and out of the hole. As soon as it came out of the hole it ran straight to Charlie and gave him a big hug. Charlie was so surprised that he hugged it back. It so happened that when he hugged the alien he glanced at his watch. It said 11:55. Charlie quickly checked his wings and said goodbye to the alien and then he was off.
It had been such an awesome night. Charlie still couldn't believe that he had flown to the moon with wings that he had invented just like he had promised himself a week ago. He remembered how the moon had been all spongy and how he had made a new friend with the baby alien. "But I am glad to be back home," Charlie thought to himself. Travelling can also be very tiring and with that he fell fast asleep.
