Tall Ships Senses by Lavender Aged 5

I can see a pesky seagull.
I can hear crashing waves.
I can smell stinky fish.
I can feel the sand.
I can taste delicious fish and chips.

‘By the Sea’ by India Castle, Age 9 Years

By The Sea
Fireworks, booming beautiful and bright,
“WOW!” cheers the crowd what a lovely sight

Here come the tall ships, elegant and tall,
Oh there it is the greatest of them all.

Mermaids tails, shimmering like the moon on water,
The mysterious voice of Neptune’s daughter,

Mmm… smells like fish and chips,
I think I have to buy some I can’t stop licking my lips,

Palm trees spiky and towering,
Big strong and over powering,

“SPLASH” three girls dive into the deep ocean,
They did put on all there sun lotion,

Yellows, blues and reds filled the sky as people waved good bye.

‘The Great Rescue!’ by Amelia, Age 8 Years

The Great Rescue!
Once there was a girl called Scarlet. She couldn’t swim but she loved fish and chips, music, colours and she was eleven.
One day Scarlet and her mum were at home getting ready because they had heard that the tall ships were in town.
After a while they walked down to the harbour. The harbour was colourful and very busy. They walked to the fish and chip shop (which was very busy too). After that they took a walk on the pier.
Suddenly, Scarlet lost her mum and fell into the sea and as you know she can’t swim! She sank down to the bottom of the ocean.
After a while the RNLI rescued Scarlet.
“Are you OK?” shouted Jack, a crew member.
“Yes,” replied Scarlet, “Well I think I swallowed some water…Blaaahh!”
“Let’s get you warmed up,” said Jack.
Scarlet followed Jack down and Jack grabbed a towel and introduced everyone.
Suddenly there was a call for an emergency! The RNLI crew forgot that Scarlet was still on the boat and the emergency was in Devon!

Meanwhile, in town Scarlet’s mum was worried. She told everyone that she couldn’t find her daughter and she even put up posters. It was 7 o’clock in the evening.
“It’s nearly her bed-time,” said Scarlet’s mum worriedly, “Where can she be?”

Just then, on the boat they were getting ready to go off. It went so fast that Scarlet fell off the boat! Luckily she was wearing a life-jacket and so she could swim back to shore.
In the end she found her mum and they had an ice cream and a party.
After the party they watched the Tall Ships and a little carnival, and from then on, Scarlet was always careful.

‘A Firework’s Flight’ by Ellie Rounsevell, Age 10 Years

I was laying in a cold, dusty old box. The lid opened with a creek, a pink giant hand grabbed me in an uncomfortable position. I saw a flame being lit by a happy, joyful human. They touched my dusty old rope and the next thing I knew I was in the sky exploding in different directions in the blue.
I see the gleaming water shining in the moonlight as I swirl around. The tall ships as tall as the eye could see.
As I am fading I smell hot dogs and burgers also fish and chips running up my nose like a runner. As I disappeared the people are amazed and start leaving…
Was I meant to die or not ?

‘The Race of Tall Ships’ by Reuben, Age 9 Years

One day there was a race of tall ships,
Many people gathered and ate fish and chips.
Fireworks were in the sky,
One was in the shape of a pie.
The race started with a boom,
Sailors rushed onto deck.
Twenty minutes and two ships had sunk,
Everyone cheered even a tramp.
Halfway,
And it was as cold as an artic bay.
It was won
By the racing sun.

‘The beautiful, sunny beach’ by Eilwen Deacon, Age 9 Years

The beautiful, sunny beach

The loud, crazy seagulls flew

Over the salty, blue still sea.

Ice cream is like freezing cold ice on a winter’s night.

Fish and chips are like a hot, burning cooker in your mouth.

Ice cream is like freezing, cold ice on a winter’s night.

When the seagulls communicate it’s like they are celebrating in the sky.

‘The Sailing Race’ by Charlie Bray Age 9 Years

The sailing race

Salty sea in the air.

The wide boat pushing through the waves like a flying fish.

Fish and chips in the air.

The waves are gripping the boats like a angry fist.

Excited screeches in the air.
