Our Magic Faraway Tree Adventures

We have been reading The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton.  We love creating pictures in our head while we listen to the story of the children's adventures up the magic Faraway Tree.  



We imagined our own lands that could be at the top of the Faraway Tree and wrote about them, using wow words to help create a picture in the reader's head.




The Land of Movies
Wow!  I tiptoed up the ladder.  I crept up into the land of movies.  Movie land was covered in movies. Trees were full of movies.  I climbed up a tree with a movie.  I went inside the house. When I got inside the house a spider chased me.  I got an axe and chopped the spider.  I ran out of the house...I climbed up a tree and a t.v hung from the moon.  The movie I watched was the Lego movie.  My couch changed into a bed.  I went to sleep.

The Land of Fish
Tip top..I crept up the ladder and I spotted a fish land.  Water was all over the sand.  I saw a crab on the wiggly stones.  There were lots of fish swimming around the place.  I saw a shark, "arghhhh!"  There were lots of pine cones on the trees.  I love my land of fish because all the lovely fish are colourful.  
I put my togs on and jumped in with a big splash and I swam with the lovely fish.
I saw a dark cave and, "arghhhh," I said.
"A shark.  Amazing, but it's going to eat me." The shark had long sharp teeth and the shark was humongous.  I was shivering.  I hid behind the rocks.  A colouful fish quickly swam to me and said, "Come with me."  
"Okay," I said.  He took me to the big long hole at the top of the tree.  Finally I was home.

Yummy Land
Wow!!! I peeked up through the clouds.  I got a shock!  The land was called...Yummy land.  There was a blue lake of...tutti fruiti vitafresh.  The houses were made out of colourful lollies.  The grass was made out of chocolate. Everything was edible.  The trees were made of broccoli and you could bite them whenever you wanted some broccoli!
One day I went in my chocolate kayak to go for a swim in the vitafresh lake and a sleep on my kayak.  When I went for a dive at the bottom of the vitafresh lake I saw a chocolate shark and it said to me, "I'm going to eat you up!"
No!" I said.  "I will eat you up."  So I swam after it and ate it all up.  "Yum, yum." I said.  
I love this land.  I will never go home!

Lego Land
I climbed up the ladder and peeped through the big hole in the clouds.  I can see Lego houses all around me.  There are Lego cars driving on the Lego roads.  The cars have to stop at the traffic lights.  The boss is Broad Business and I have to get him because he is bad.

Ice Crystal Land
Wow.  Suddenly I appeared in ice crystal land. I saw ice on the trees.  It was amazing.  I loved it. 
"Arggggh."  The snowman was getting closer.  I was scared. I ran away but he still chased me. I tried to get down the ladder but he grabbed me and took me home.  
We went to the lake.  I spotted some gorgeous golden fish.  I went to put on my togs and I jumped off the grass and I landed on a shark. I screamed.  He bit my leg.  "Ouch." I said. I started to cry.  The snowman laughed.  
I found the hole and ran home as fast as I could.

Wonderland
Wonderland has lollipops and snow too with a castle.  I like the land of Wonder.  I went to find the castle in the land.  I climbed a tree to find the bridge to the castle.  
I went inside to find the Queen in the castle and I looked for the stairs.  I climbed up the stairs but the stairs were high.  I flew up to climb the steps and I found the Queen.

Easter Land
Wow!  I am in Easter land.  There are chocolate Easter bunnies.  They are holding baskets full of scrumptious Easter eggs and when I am hungry I eat the Easter bunnies. When there are rainbows, there is chocolate at the end.  
One night I woke up...I saw a really bad Easter bunny... (to be continued).
