An Interesting Walk

 

“What’s that strange noise” said Sarah. While they were walking in the field “I’m

not sure” said Milly, but it sounds a bit like a hurt bird. So the two girls followed

the noise until they came to a big, mossy, old, tree that had fallen down. “Oh no”

said Sarah sadly, “there is a little bird stuck under that”. “Let’s help it out”

explained Milly. Sarah and Milly lifted up the old tree until they could see the bird.

It was vey calm and gentle so they wiped it down carefully. Then they could see

the bird a bit more and it was beautiful. A few minutes later they left the bird

down so that it can fly away, ‘when it just wouldn’t take off’.

Holiday gone wrong

It was finally the day, the best day off the year. It was time to go on our Holidays. This is my favourite day of the year. This year we were going to Spain. We had to wake up super early. Our house was a mad rush. My brother was crying because he was so tired. I was so excited, I was running up and down the hall. You should off seen my mams face. Anyway we all go in the car finally we could go. We got there but since we were so late, we had to rush around it was very stressful but we made it to the terminal. My mam was so stressed but now we were we were sitting on the aeroplane nothing else could happen. We had be waiting a while now, then the captain spoke.” We were trying to take off and get on our way and just at the end of the runway when it just wouldn’t take off. OUR HOLIDAY WAS OVER.

Neil Armstrong

 

One year in 1969 there was a man named Neil Armstrong his dream was to be the first man on the moon. Whenever he watched television it’s always reminded him about space and being the first man on the moon. One of his best friends built spaceships, so he asked him “ would you to me a massive favour and build me a spaceship”. His friend replied “ am well I don’t really have the time I’m really sorry Neil”. Neil said “ it’s ok”. Neil went for a stroll around the place to look inside the spaceships, suddenly he was shocked. He found this spaceship behind a huge curtain. A few weeks passed and Neil was suddenly in a spaceship about to head off to space he was overwhelmed. Suddenly the countdown started 3,2,1 blast off! Then there was no movement. Then when it just wouldn’t take off.

Going Nowhere

 

Eric glanced down at his boarding pass as he entered the plane. He walked to his seat, dragging his suitcase behind him. He sat in his seat waiting patiently for the plane to take off, but Eric started to get worried when it just wouldn’t take off. At the other side of the plane there was a door, with a sign above it that said ‘Business Class.’ He was walking up to the door, when suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and there was a flight attendant looking crossly down at him. There was something about her that wasn’t right.

…When it just wouldn’t take off…

 

My eardrums very nearly burst with the noise of the crowd as they counted down to the moment when the rocket would surge into the sky leaving nothing but smoke behind. My co-astronaut smiled at me as we heard the crowd’s chants reaching one. “Three, two, ONE!!”. I prepared myself for lift off, closing my eyes and praying that nothing would go wrong…but the lift off never came and as I opened my eyes, l could see my co-astronaut getting out of the rocket. I waited a few more minutes but when it just wouldn’t take off I started to get out of the rocket but as I did I heard a nearby voice. “Come on! The dinner’s on the table!” and I took off my cardboard helmet and rushed inside.

First trip to space… nearly

Jason was a professional Astronaut. Ever since he was a little boy he loved rockets and space. It was a dream when he became an Astronaut. He still remembered his first trip to space.. well nearly. It all started on one summers day, the flowers blooming and the birds singing. He hopped out of the house and into his car. He drove as quick as his little car could go. When he finally got there, his eyes trailed along the bottom of the rocket all the way to the top. He couldn’t believe it. A few hours passed and it was time for Jason to step foot into the rocket. 5..4..3..2..1… oh oh something was very wrong, that was when it just wouldn’t take off…

Stuck in the Snow

 

I woke up early and looked out the window to my delight there was
what I could only describe as a thick white blanket of snow
everywhere. I was super excited getting Christmas holidays from
school and we had organised a class party. I quickly gulped my
breakfast and my Mam yelled “it’s time to go to school everyone into
the car”. The car was covered in thick white snow. My Mam tried
and tried to start the car, when it just wouldn’t take off I began to
feel worried. I thought to myself “I really hope I get to school this
morning I am really looking forward to the party with my class”

Adventure

 

It was MY birthday! I was SOOO excited. Dad and I were going shopping. We went in the car, first we were going to the boring clothes shop. After twenty terrible minutes we left to go to the toy shop I was shaking with happiness. I was going to get a drone with a camera, but I did not have enough money. Luckily, super dad came to the rescue. We got sweets on the way home. At home we turned on the drone straight away and that is when it just wouldn’t take off. DISASTER STRIKES. Super Mom to the rescue, it just needed batteries. KABOOM. Another Caoimhe adventure comes to an end.
