It was almost midnight and I was sleeping. I fastened the small, flexible tent. My friend was drifting to sleep. My heart was beating as fast as a plane. I could hear the animals that live under the ground making their way through the soil. How long until I fall asleep?

When the clock struck and the moon shone, he intertwined out of his lair, criss-crossed over the moorland and inched through the fog.

I heard a terrifying noise outside. My face was white like a ghost. I saw a figure smiling and waving at me. What on earth was it?

It was time to go to sleep. I closed my tent. My light went out and my tent was pitch black. My teeth were chattering. When will it be morning?

When the sun faded away, the beast squirmed through the cave, criss-crossed over the moorland and shot across the fog.

I could hear a creepy song outside my tent. My heart skipped a beat. A creepy black shadow was looking into my soul.

We fastened the tiny, soft tent. We heard leaves rustling. Suddenly, my parents fell asleep. My eyes filled with tears. How long do we have until morning?

Silently, the creature sneaked out of it’s cave, passed over the bog and slid through the haze.

I heard him snuffling at the door. Suddenly, he smashed the door open. A big, heavy silhouette filled the tent.

We fastened the soft tent. A silhouette appeared. My friends fell asleep. My heart was pounding. How many hours would it be until the sun came out?

Quietly, the monster dragged himself out of the cave, crossed the field and crept through the fog.

I heard something stomping and the stomps got louder. With an earpiercing scream, the creature pounced inside.

Today year 3 received a postcard from Graceland International School in Ghana. We were also sent a book called Where are we? Miss Jones read the book to us. We are all confused but very excited to meet the children from Graceland International School.

Have a look at our postcard which came all the way from Ghana.

We sat around to listen to Miss Jones read the book.

We can’t wait for next Friday! Can you?
