The family of six lifd in a counsel house Just out side Londen But something whenet wrong. Mother and father were always shouting at each other the people across the street could hear them figthing the children would cry Tommy was the oldest he was 12 he was more groon up that than the others. Jane was 8 she was frightened of her mum and dad Jone was 5 and Alan 1 1/2 years. He was to young to to understand he was crying all the time never the less . It happened to me When I was 4 years old I very nearly diad . It was one sunday when my 3 older sisters and I were out for a walk I had my photo taken near a brook. I still have the photo. The brook was about 8 feet wide. The water was about 2 feet deep. But they was 6 feet off wet slimy mud I was the first to cross the bridge it broke and in I went. I slolly sank in the mud my 2 youngest sisters ran home but my oldest sister stoped and saved my life she held my head above water untill my sisters got home and told my parents. then they raced down to the brook dad have a hell of a Job pulling me out as the mud held me down eventually his got me out and carred me home. my clothes had to me distrod it took seven bath to get me clearn . Im am never alloud to sit up and watch programes not surtebull for children one night when dad was digging the garden mum had gone out, they was a film on TV unfitt for children I sat and watched it, it was all murder and killing, men were being hung and other were being shot or stabed . men had their heads cut in half . My work on a farm I have live on a farm all off my life, I am not bosting but I think I know a fair bit about farming. I know most about cattle and only a little about machinery. Some people say farming is the lowest payed and hardest working imployment out. I agree with those people. but I would rather work for my living, than just siting in a stufy old office adding up numbers all day or whatever they do. Give me the open air life. My father is a farm stockman and I hope to take on the same Job when I leave school. I am going to take my apprentiship course when I leave at easter. that means that I go to classis ones a week. I will learn a lot more about farming and if I pull through the course I will be a usfull chap about the farm. Will I am taking my course I will be get 17 shilling less than the boy worker that is not taking the course. But when I am 17 and finished my Apprentiship I will get 10% more than the average pay off a boy my age. Many people asked me why I have choosen farming as my future carrer . (1) I will be in the open air. (2) I will be doing a diffrent Job every day (3) I am not interested in enthing else. For the last 2 or 3 years I am have been work on the farm in the holidays. And I can tell the men I have worked with have been good and give me a few tips. my dad has told quite a lot about farming which I know will help when I life school. So if anybody want an open air life, choose FARMING 5. ANN BARLEY page 81 Dear Rose I hope you are alright. I am writing to tell you about my English I have done with Mr David Hollbrook.

The woman put the baby in the chair in the corner so that they can have a sleep. They opened the window to let the fresh air in. This picture we panted in the olden days. It was dark in the house but not out side . It looks to me as if it was raining. The dog is licking up the scraps. The bird is up in his cage wondering what is happing . Look at the old fashion shoes. They socks come up to the top of they legs like long grandpas pants. One of the children are playing with the fire. When a woman looks in her Pram One day a young woman went down the street to do her shopping. She went into the shop to order her weekly meat, of course she left her baby out side the shop. Her baby was still sitting her its pram, but the little baby was crying. the little baby could not talk much he could say little words. He's Mum said to him "Now what are you crying for My little baby, "he keep on "Man, Man,", he mean't that Man which were going down the road, at first she could not understand him you see this man had a black baby in a blue pram And a woman came over the road a said "you better watch were you leave you baby misses." the baby's mothers said "why" so the other lady" said, "because you know that old man which as Just gone down the road, well he tried to take your little baby out of it's pram. So she said "thank you very much for telling me, and said "goodbye So the lady walk on with her baby. This time she went into the baker's to get some bread. The old man with the baby was outside the fishmonger, which was just aside the baker's. The Lady went in, and while she was in the man changed babys . So he had the white one and she had the black one, of course he ran away, no one saw him. She came out of the Baker's and looked in her pram a saw the baby asleep. She went home a while the baby was a sleep she done some jobs. When she had done her jobs she said to herself "the babys is having a long sleep. I go and see if he is still asleep. She opened the down and she sow a black baby sitting in her pram she shouted. after she had shouted she put on her coat and went and phone the police. The police said they would be here in a very few minetes . As soon as she had a knock on the door, she said "Come in," it was the policemen. The police said, "What can we do for you Miss. So she said "This is not my baby I had a white one so the police said when did you first find out she said just a minute ago. Just before before I phoned you. One of the police said "did you leave it out side a shop, and she said "yes while I went in the baker's . (she was crying) The other policeman said. "tell us the whole story" So she told them to sit down aud asked them if they wanted a cup of tea they said yes. So she put on the kettle and then sat down and told then the story about her baby. And the police said they would try and find her own baby. The very long days went by and still they couldn't find the baby, but afterawhile the police heard a little about the baby. The women was very upset. And one day the two polce men came to her house holding a white baby. So the women grab the baby and said thank you very much for finding him.

WILLIAM GLEBE page 90 AN APPLE It comes off of a tree when you pick it is rosy red and before you eat it makes your mouth water it even makes your mouth water when you hear the name gascoyne's scarlet. when you go scrumping and when you get caught it is worth taking the chance of getting some gascoyne's scarlet apples. when you go scrumping you have got to be carefull you don't get caught if you do get caught the man will be waiting for you next time you go to get some more gascoyne scarlet apples. when I go scrumping all I go after is apples and plums, pears. when you go pinching apple you do not want to take to many people or you will not get away so quick when there are a lot of people with you a specally little boys they make too much noise. If you pick apples off of the ground you have to be carful of the wasps or else they will sting you and the sting comes up to a big bump where ever it stings you. when you are by yourself and some one comes and you have to climb over the barb wire and get caught the man will probally catch you but if someone else is with you they can unhook you. some people when the catch you they might hit you and said he will hit you harder next time he catches you. But some people say they will hit you next time but warn you not to come in the orchard again But the children could not resist getting some more apples to eat. It is best getting apples from an orchard where there are no houses. when I go scrumping I do not take bikes because the man who owns the orchard might come along and take the bikes and if you want your bike you have to go and ask for it and that is how the owner of the orchard knows that you were in the orchard. I never take a dark jacket or a red one because you will be reconnised very easy because red shows up very easy. But still it is worth getting some gascoyne's scarlet apples. The Fox The fox is a sly old beast He sits in his den cleaning and waiting To make a nother savage attack He walks the field to the farm The smell of chickens in the passing breeze. he's gone to collect his meal. He makes a leap. Chickens cackle as the fox collects his meal. WINTER When the snow lay round about The robins come out to seek crumbs Their feet are numb But the snow still lies round about. A tree is a place for song That's where birds sing their sweet song. The leaves have gone. It will not be long before the tree has gone. Stranden on a Desert Island One midsummer's day at 9.30 a.m. a ship was wrecked by a corral reef so people jumped overboard. People who could not swim did not know it was a case of life or death The ship was sinking fast but some still hung on. the shore was only about a mile away so some began to swim to the shore. Getting food from the ship was impossible but some people on the ship could get down to the store room and get some diving out fits . So one man volonteered to swim out to the ship and go down to the store room. Their were dead bodys on the deck within 20 minutes of the ship wreck . Their were 1 or 2 live people on board but he was frightened to go on the island. The man who swam from the island went down to the store room. He held his breath as he went down below the surface of the water. As he open the store room door the water gushed in very quickly. So he had to feel for the diving suits. He brought as many as he could find to the surface and that was only 5. He got up in the crows nest and waved to the people on the island so they sent to men to help him. When they arrived they all put their diving suits on the went down to get some food. Luckily enough it was mostly tin food. They brought quite a lot up for the people on the island. When looking around the deck they saw a life boat but it had a little hole in one side but they thought it would be good enough take the food to the island in. They all had one tin of something each. They all ate this just like pigs feeding out of a trough. After they had their tin of food to eat people were still hungry so they started looking for coconuts. They all decided that there would only be two meals a day. most of them agreed but of course there were some who protested. There was about 35 on the island but people who use't to get coconuts usally got lost or got bitten by a snake. They had shortend done from 35 to 15. They kept near the coast so they could go in the sea if they wanted to. And they could also catch fish to eat. After several weeks ships had seen them waving but took no notice of them In september food was running short so they kill animals and drank fresh water from springs. they found here and there. they found coconuts while hunting for animals. They took the coconuts down to the shore and drained the milk out and ate the rest of the inside. They caught quite a few tigers in traps which are holes dug in the gound and sticks laide across with grass on top of them. At night they slept all together under coconut trees. They were not surprised to see somebody dead in the morning. One morning in december a ship was going across the sea to England they waved and waved again. Then the ship began to turn and was coming to fetch them they were all delighted. As soon ass they arrived on board the sailors told them to report to the captain's office. They all too pleased to be on board a ship again the captain said how did you get on that island they replied we were shipwrecked in June and we have been there since. They arrived in England 2 days later and how glad they were to be back in England again. THE END 7.

When I leave School When I leave school I want to be a children's nurse, I shall most probably got to London to get a really good Job, but I will have to be away from home, but my parents said they don't mind me being away from home, as long as I like the Job, and am very interested in the work, of course I will be able to come home for a few days. I am going to leave school at 15, at Easter, 1962, and I shall work for two years at least before I think about getting a boy. I want to get married at 20, so that I will have about three years to get engaged, and to get to know each other. I wand two children, one of each or twins. I also want to live in a bungalow I want a man with lovely black or brown wavey hair not much taller than me. I want a man that likes children and takes them out, and plays with them. Then we will all be able to go out and enjoy ourselves. I shall stop nursing when I get married, after I have had a child, then I may do part-time work. I want to get married in white. I want to go abroad for my honeymoon. For the first summer holiday, I would like to go to Butlin's holiday camp. For my children I would like a blue and white or Black pram. Stephen asked me if I would like to go, so he bought two tickets for him and me, and we went in and Pauline and Trevor were sitting in there holding hands. So we went in and they called us over to go and sit with them, and we did and when the film started all the lights were put out, and it was very dark in there, then Stephen was sitting there next to me, and Pauline said go on Stephen hold Judith's hand, and after a while he did, and he didn't let go of it until the film was over. the best boyfriend I ever had . he's father was posted . and so Stephen left. But we still send letters and post cards to each other. So that we still remember each other . One fine morning I got up, and went to bring the milk in to make some coffee, but at my disaster I found a young baby lying in a basket fast asleep, so I grabbed it quick and brought it in, it was a baby boy with light hair and blue eyes, well of course I would have loved to keep the child but I knew that wouldn't be right, so I telephoned the Police, and told them everything that had happened, and told me to take the baby down to the Police station. So I got ready and set off to the station. Of course I liked the baby and didn't want to give it to the Police. They said that they would put up notices about the baby. They let me look after him until someone owned up. A month later. A month went but nobody owned up and the Police were tired of looking everywhere for the parents that they said I could adopt the baby if I wanted to, if not they would put it in a home. I soon got married and talked it over with my husband, and he said it was OK, with him so, in a few day's time the baby was ours and were'nt we pleased. So we all lived happily ever after. The End. When I am a children's Nurse When I get the Job of a children's nurse, I shall be very happy I'm sure, There will be lots of other nurse's there to help look after the children we have to put the children to bed, and get them dressed, give them there food, and toys to play. I like looking after young children, I will be able to get home now and then, and see may parents. If one of the children decide that they want to run away then of course we must go and look for them, and bring them back. Tick tock, slowly Tick tock, " That's my dadies big clock, And my granny's little clock, goes tick, tock , tick, tock , tick tock. IN THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS. One day, about the second week, I was going shopping, and takeing my friend for a walk. When three boys whistled at me and they asked me to come and get a rose which they had put on their lunch bags, for me, of course I went as red as beetroot, but when I came back they called me again so after a while I went and Picked it up I started talking to them every day . Betty went down to the shop to get some groceries for dinner, they got 2 lb of potatoes, 1 large tin beans, and 1/2lb ham, and 1 large peaches and 1 large cream which all came to 6/- 10d, when they got home the girls cooked the meal . they started out and the sea got deeper, but it was lovely, the sun was shining like a star glittering at night, the sea was calm and bright, as we looked ahead at the deep deep sea, it was just like a dream which has come true . Because its night time and dark. Because the wind is wild. Because the two waves are a ring. It's where the sea has washed away The side of the rocks. The front of the boat Where the sea ran up the beach. Because there are trees in way There whispering to each other The sun is hot with wild animals roaming around. The beach is so hot and the sea is calm, animals are roaming, here and there. A love story in French. JEAN Comatalevous ? LEON Comatalevous . MUM Jean would you like a sweet.

They ran away to get married In a little country called Lawton was a huge house with seventeen rooms and in it lived mother, father, maids, and four children, the eldest, was Jenny who was 18 years of age, she had 3 other brothers and sisters who were all under the age of 12, Jenny had a boyfriend who live a few yards a way from her, his name was Johnny he was 20 years of age. Jenny and Johnny wanted to get marreid , they had known each other for 6 years, and were very much in love. They had got mostly everything to start with, they had a double bed, curtains, dressing table, crockery and lots of other things to start a married home. But thee only trouble was that their parents wouldn't give their consent, to the marriage. So the two young children decided to ran away and get married. So they packed a few clothes and Johnny got two tickets on a train to London they had some money in the bank about #30. So one bright sunny morning they got up about six oclock and made their way to the station. they were two hours early so stayed on the platform and had some breakfast. Soon they were on the train. Now we needn't worry about anythink my darling, said Johnny. No we can get a job in London and live in a flat for a few months until we can get a house of our own, said Jenny. yes then we can go back home, tell our parents, the news and get the rest of our things together and come back to London. 2 months pass They got a flat and were now thinking of getting married, so they got married in a registery office and after the celebrate until 12 oclock that night, then a week later they got tickets back to Lawton, they got home and went and rang on Jenny's doorbell first. he father came to the door, and took one look and "slammed!" the door in their faces, and shouted out "I don't know where you've been, but I don't want you to lay a step inside this house, you're an absolute disgrace to our family, but dad, shouted Jenny I've only come home to tell you the news what's that he "said" I am married thats why I and Johnny ran away we got married in a registry office. so "said" her father, Oh ! well I wish you the best of luck in your marriage, but I do wish you'd told us all because I think you are old enough to be man and wife, well my daughter and son in law, welcome home. you can live here both of you, until you get a decent place of your own, thank you dad, and thank you sir, said Johnny, don't call me sir my son, you're one of us now so, you may as well call me dad I must go and fetch youre parents Johnny, and we will celebrate said her father, all the family got together and celebrated. and later they got a place of their own and a couple of years later they had twins a boy and a girl, and they all lived happily ever after.

He has taught us how to write good letters, stories, and poems. some of the work he has taught us will be of use to us in later years. But some work hasn't taught us a single thing, we have to learn a fair bit of English to help us as we get older, and out to work. Love and best wishes, Judith 17.

Well one of the cats meant to go outside but somthing happens he sees this hole and he puts his paw into the hole and the mice come up a little and they grabed the cat. then it tried to get away but it was know use it was killed they they all came out and then they all were killed. Then there was my mother and father and I came out of the house that night and saw that the cats were in the hole making a noise but we count do anything about it because it was to late. But have got over it. My mother and father have been married for ten years and they have been happy ever since. When they started to meet. They said shall we go to the pictures and my mother said yes well do that said my mother it is a very good idea. But some times they have a fight they had a fight last night but they made friends again then when we went out last Saturday afternoon they started to have a fight. My father shouted at my mother and than my mother shouted at my father then when my father went to the meeting we went to finish our shopping . When the children went out to play after dinner Linda and I went on the field and sat down for a bit there were Mary Smith and Linda and I Linda said something (and then I went up to her and got on top of her and so we had a little play fight) but we are still friends with each other. we go together every day. I like her to come to Guildwell some day but she said no she cant there if she could she would come and see me and we would have good fun together and go up to the meadow and climb trees Went I went on my holiday I had a very nice time we played on the bikes and went shopping and when my Auntie went to work but when she went work Joan and Derek started to have a quarrel but I did not take no notice of them and carried on what I was doing then Joan said something to me but I did take notice of her and then she said I always startes a qurral but when we were friends again. Well on one Saturday when my Uncle desided to go to the pictures with Joan and Derek well when they were in the pictures I was in a room watching Bronco Layne on T.V. it was better than watching the film but I mean that Bronco was very good. Well when they came home that night I was still watching the T.V. and Derek and Joan came in and said that my Uncle was drunk and Joan said that he nearly got run over and als Joan had guard him back to the house where was safe.

And when I was in bed I lisinid out for my Uncle because sometimes when he is drunk he comes up to my room door but not always but it stopped me from going to sleep because sometime he gives me the creaps but before then he very nearly hit Derek and I but I dont know what for and then we went to bed and went to sleep but when they all were asleep my uncle got up and came out of the room and went down stairs I dont know what he was up to but still I kept awake a very long time because I wasnt tired so I stayed awake for a while and when he came up stairs and stood outside my door I got a bit scared because I thought he was going to come in my room so I kept so still and quiet and a bit later he went into his own room and got in bed and went to sleep and he woke my Auntie she was awake for a little while and then she was asleep in a know time and I couldn't go to sleep at all but still I kept awake to listen out for my uncle just in case he came into my room but a bit later on I fell of to sleep and I got nice and warm.

I agree with Mr t because you can not write a good story without knowing how to spell, I am the best speller in 3c and do not find some words differcult but people who get under 40 find words very differcult . If you do not practise writing letters you will find it very hard when you leave school. I think Mr Holbrook has difficulty in reading our stories if we do not write neatly so I think it is essential that we should write properly. I have written a lot of stories in the term I have written a lot of stories because spelling does not slow me down so I find it quite easy . William Glebe Sir, Mr T says that Mr. Holbrook, our English teacher is too soft, and does'nt teach us very good English but I don't believe one word of it, it is absolutly nonsense, he is a good enough teacher, for any child to learn from. We write a lot of stories but we nearly all enjoy writing them. Mr T said it will be, be harder for us when we leave school, but if we consantrate , and listern to what we are told in English we will have no trouble when we go out into the world. When we write stories, I think the story is much more important than the spellings, and puntuation . Yours faithfully Judith When we have Mr Holbrook we have to write a story, and sometimes we write 4 pages or more and we plenty of the idea your tinking of. Jack O'Malley we have to work hard, and it tacks hard work to write thoese story and it very hard when people say he soft on us . Joan Stall I think Mr T shoold come and see Mr. Holbrook teaching us we do a lot of writing we have even made a frame magazine .
