‘Ship’s Log Day 14’ by Skye Sangster, Age 9 Years

Ships Log Day 14

It was the end of our voyage of exploration and we travelled through the English Channel and sailed up the River Thames. We came into my home town of Greenwich. I could see most of my aunts and uncles, all my cousins were there, and mum and dad were there too. Even my Nan was there and she hardly ever leaves her home.

I could see loads of London’s famous buildings. I could see the O2 arena. I thought it was the sun but it was far too big and on the west. Well maybe west was pushing it because I didn’t have a compass but still… I also saw some of the more ancient buildings like the domes at Greenwich.

A wave of mixed emotions cut right through me like a blade purposely slicing my heart. It was the end but I was at home. I was sad but I was happy. The ship pulled up next to the Shard which was awesome. I slowly plodded down the plank and ambled across to find mum. It was strange not moving up and down but satisfying.

‘Scarlett the Seagull’ by Mackenzie Evans, Age 10 Years

Scarlett the seagull

She g l i d e s across the shimmering sea like a boat hovering on top,

Scarlett dives deep d
o
w
n
to catch her delicious prey.

She hears the ‘ding dong’ of the town clock as it strikes 10’o clock.

Scarlett makes her way home,

and the tall-ships sail their way to London for their big day tomorrow.
