The ivory keys
By Leela Guha
Introduction
In the 15th century, a rich merchant gave his daughters a gift. He gave
the oldest a town house, the middle child a ship and the youngest,
Eliza, three ivory keys. He said to Eliza: “These ivory keys unlock
something very special. When you are thirteen I will tell what they
unlock.” But Eliza’s father died before he could tell her.
The keys were passed down from generations to generation, until the
18th century when the whole family was killed in the great plague. The
house survived through the fire of London and was rebuilt in 2010.
Would anyone ever solve the mystery of the ivory keys?
2015
I trotted up the dusty track, the jingle of the bit in the pony’s mouth
lolling me to sleep. I turn onto a narrow path as a house looms up in
front of me. The kitchen extension looked nice enough, a pleasant red
brick unit with large windows, but the rest of the house was cold and
dark. So, I thought. This is it. My new home.
As I reach out to the large oak front door, a cloud of dust envelops me
and for a moment I cannot see anything. I proceed down the passage
and head for the narrow flight of stairs. I feel like the spirit of the house
does not want me, like eyes are watching me resentfully from dark
corners.
I stiffen. I can feel a hand on my shoulder, but cannot see anyone.
A voice cuts the silence like a scythe cutting diamond…..
“Well, Eliza. You look exactly like your great grandmother.”
A shiver runs down my spine. There is absolutely no-one there!
Gwennie whinnied from the garden, and gave me a glad excuse to run
outside. As I lay there, panting, I came to a conclusion. The voice I had heard
must have been the voice of a ghost!
It was not until mum got home that I dared to venture into the house again.
My room was to be in the attic, two rickety ladders climb away. As I sat down
on the big, old bed, I noticed a small wooden chest balanced on a rafter.
Struggling to keep my balance, I stood on the bed post and pulled the chest
down. The latch was stiff and I could not shift it. Now this was a mystery.
Biting my knuckles, I grabbed my pocket knife and started to prise the chest
open. After half an hour of long, hard work, the chest was finally forced
open! My heart pounding, I gingerly reached into the box and pulled out a
sheet of papyrus. It read:
Last will and testament of Sisphanus.
Whoever finds this will must find thewreck of the
hippotosa, off the English coast. The ivory keys you will
find in this chest unlocks something special on the wreck.
I reached into the chest again. In my hand was a pair of ivory keys!
Smooth, tarnished, and weathered with age, the keys were somewhat
beautiful. Without thinking, I fitted the keys into the chest. Obviously, they
did not fit, but they definitely opened a key in my mind. Boremouth! We’d
been there last summer, and I remember diving down to a wreck under the
sea there. I cannot remember what the name of the ship was, but it could
have been hoppetosa! I had to get to Boremouth, and fast! But how?
My mind was still buzzing with ideas when I sat down to supper with mum
and dad. And then, of course, there was the question of the ghost. Or was it
a ghost? There was nothing I could be certain of.
As I settled down to sleep, I came to a conclusion. I would run away to
Boremouth. I’d do it all tomorrow night, the sooner the better. My parents
wouldn’t be worried, not if I’d spent my 10 years with them in earnest. Now,
I thought, I need a note. I don’t want to give away my secret, but I can’t lie.
And so, by the light of my faulty torch, I set to work. After around 2 hours of
biting my pencil, my note was finished.
Mum and Dad,
I was summoned by my teacher on an
urgent trip to Boremouth. I will be back
soon.
All the best, Eliza xxx
I was ready to go. I’d saddled up Gwennie, packed a bag in secret and got my
purse. Now all I had to do was wait…..

Vital Organs
Vital organs are the organs inside your body you could not live without (e.g. heart,
lungs). Each organ has a different job to do. This page will tell you all about vital organs
and what they do.
Lungs and your heart.
Your lungs breathe air in and out. When you breathe out,
the used –up air is pushed back up out
of your nose and mouth.
You breathe out enough
air each
day to fill about 10,000
balloons!
Your heart pushes blood around your body.
When you breathe out, air comes back up your windpipe.
The blood in this half of the heart has lots of oxygen in it
and the blood in the other half doesn’t.
There’s about enough
blood in your body to
fill a bucket!
Your Brain.
A new born baby’s brain weighs about as
much as 2 apples. An adult’s brain weighs as much as 10 apples.
Your brain is made of 2 halves joined in the middle.
The left half of your brain controls the right side of your body ,
the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body.
