L.O. Can write a modern fable
B.L.P. Capitalising and absorption
One warm day Steve, who was a 12 year old boy with a love for
Minecraft and Stampylongnose, was on a holiday in America. He
was browsing in a shop for Stampy Cat merchandise when he
noticed a dark hooded figure by the doorway. Everyone seemed
to steer well clear from him.
Slowly this mysterious person crept up to a young woman and
asked for a little money so that he wouldn’t go hungry. Looking at
him in disgust the girl snorted and walked off with her chin in the
air as if saying ‘I’m much too good for you.’
Seconds later Mr Dark–figure turned on him and asked him the
same question. Without even thinking Steve handed him the little
money he had. Instead of thanking Steve he asked a question,
“Would you like to visit my world in a video?” The figure then
revealed himself to be the Youtuber Stampy Cat! That day
generous Steve had the best afternoon ever. He chose to be
Dolphin skin and shared a delicious and crumbly breakfast cake
with Stampy. It was Christmas come early! (He even got an
autograph, which I’m extremely jealous about!) And today he is
known as a different name......
L.O: To rewrite the Greek Myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.
B.L.P: Imagining
Theseus and the minotaur
Way back in the mists of time, in the courageous country of Greece, a monster was
causing havoc for people in Athens…
High up on a cliff that was overlooking the crystal clear blue sea
stood a magnificent black marble palace. In the breath taking palace
lived a kind and fair king, who didn’t care much for money but would
give up anything for his people. This tall and proud man was also
father to a brave young lad named Theseus, who liked to go on
adventures. Muscular and strong he had short, spikey, dark brown
hair and emerald green eyes, which tinkled like shining stars in the
moonlight. You could always recognise him as he often had a warm
and welcoming smile placed upon his face.
Although King Aegeus (Theseus’ father) was the king of Athens, he often received
messenger boys from the king of Crete; King Minos. Unfortunately, it was never
good news. Evil and powerful King Minos threatened King Aegeus in his letters so
that the poor and innocent people of Athens were forced to sacrifice their lives to
feed the ferocious and monstrous beast, pet to King Minos; the Minotaur.
Around a week later, King Aegeus was sullenly deciding on the last
few prisoners to be fed to the disgusting monster. When Theseus
tapped on his shoulder and bravely declared, “I am going to defeat
the Minotaur! I shall pretend to be a prisoner but then slay the
beast when I enter the labyrinth and no human from this land will
ever have to be sacrificed to be fed to that creature ever again! What do you say?”
Theseus was extremely confident but his father was not as convinced that this was a
good idea and replied, “That would be amazing but you know that you are never going to
be able to do that! You may not go; it is far too dangerous for a young gentleman like you.
I am sorry but my answer is no.” Theseus begged and begged but his father was
reluctant.
The courageous young man realised that his father would never let him go, so as soon as
he saw the boat that was coming to pick up the worried and anxious prisoners he ran out
of the door and clambered on his father sprinted after him and realised how much this
actually meant to his son. “This must mean
a lot to you because I know that you would
never do anything this bad.” babbled his
dad, out of breath. “Your right! Please
Please, Please let me go!” cried Theseus.
“Ok, fine,” replied his dad “but remember to
change these sails to the colour white if you
succeed.” Agreeing with his father with tears in his eyes he exclaimed, “Oh thank you
Father! Of course I will change my flags! Oh thank you again! Goodbye!”. Confidently he
stepped onto the brown wooden boat with the other prisoners and he was on his way.
By now they were already a quarter of the way to Crete. All over the rickety boat’s floor
were a number of small cracks. Although the turquoise sea was peaceful and calm the
prisoners were more than the complete opposite. The next morning, when the air was
filled with mist and fog, they were all sent to the labyrinth but
just as they were making their way there the most gorgeous
and beautiful girl walked in front of them and Theseus
instantly fell in love with her.
