All of the entries were fantastic! However, one story stood out above the rest. We hope you enjoy it.
Well done to Frankie in Year 5.
Let me tell you a little story about
a Tortoise called Sheldon. From how he went from house pet to the White house.
Let’s set the scene the year is 1945 and the allied forces are closing in on
the capital of Germany, Berlin! In a secret lab, German scientists had been
making a one of a kind time travelling machine to travel back in time to win
the war. However, as the bombs drop overhead they rushed to keep it hidden from
the allies. So, they built into the shell of a Tortoise, and that tortoise was Sheldon!
As the scientists finished a large
explosion ripped through the lab as a bomb made a direct hit. As the smoke
cleared in the rubble an American soldier, who was searching the lab, spotted
Sheldon out of the corner of his eye. Scooping him up to safety in his bag
along, with top secret papers that were lying around, he then headed back to
his platoon.
The war was won. The soldiers went
home. Sheldon returned safely home with the soldier where he lived for many
years; until the soldier became old and was too ill to look after Sheldon. So,
he handed Sheldon and his chest of army treasures over to his grandson, Jimi. Jimi
cared for Sheldon for many years not knowing about the amazing treasures
Sheldon carried around with him. Until one day Jimi came home from his job and
saw that his house had been ransacked by top secret agents of the German army
who had also been following him for many weeks. As Jimi checked the damage it
looked like they had been searching for Sheldon. But why, this doesn’t make any sense he questioned himself. He
picked Sheldon up wondering what they would want in an old slow tortoise like
Sheldon. As he stared at Sheldon he noticed his granddads ancient chest that he
had left him along with Sheldon. Maybe
the answer could be in here he asked himself?
Jimi excitedly searched through the
old rusty chest, rustling about between old medals and photos he noticed a file
that stated top secret. As he read he discovered that the Germans planned to
travel back in time to win the war.
