You Choose

 The whole school worked together to create a story on World Book Day. It was based on the picture book 'You Choose' and each class contributed to the story by sharing their amazing ideas. It is great to see the progression from EYFS through to KS2 and the children created a great story! 

Written by Kildwick CE Primary School on World Book Day 2023

Robins:

Once upon a time there was a girl called Honey. She lived in Kildwick near a school. She lived with her dog, her Grandma and her Dad. Honey had lots of friends. Her best friends were Santa, the King, Little Red Riding Hood and her dog called Harry Potter. Honey had always wanted to go to a fun fair. 

Swallows:

Honey lived in a colossal, multicoloured spaceship. Inside her house there was a large disco ball and a fun bouncy castle. There was also a chocolate water fountain and a football table that Honey loved to play with. Honey loved to go on adventures but she didn't travel in a usual way! Honey borrowed Santa's sleigh and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. 

Kingfishers:

Honey and her dad got on to the sleigh. While she was on the glossy, enchanting sleigh with lots of presents on, her tummy started to rumble loudly. Slowly, as her tummy got louder and louder, her smooth hand reached into a little cupboard on the sleigh and she grabbed a lovely, brown chocolate cake from the back. “Creak!” the sleigh loudly groaned as she reached. As messily as a dog, she gobbled up the cake before the reindeer could have any.  After that, she looked like a chocolate cake herself. Around her neck, she wore a shimmering scarf because it was so cold in the sky. She also wore a knitted hat and a thick coat which had a rainbow on that she got for her birthday.

Owls:

Honey landed her sleigh in Daisy Meadows where there were several pet shops. Honey asked her Dad, “Please can we get another pet Dad, or two, or maybe three?” Honey’s dad thought and thought.  

Soon after he said, “You can as long as you can look after them yourself.” 

Honey visited every kind of pet store (big and small) she could find. Finally, she chose a magnificent lion that could tango, a scaly, glistening dragon and a coal black and snow white horse. After she had picked, Honey used her bright pink credit card to buy them all.

The very next day, Honey took up horse riding on the new horse which she named Chloe.  Riding made her as happy as someone with a house made of gingerbread. Luckily, her dad got a job at a nearby zoo where her lion could be kept safely.  Honey visited daily and told her lion, “I miss you but since you ate Little Red Riding Hood, you must stay here!” Her fiery red dragon lived in a cave on the side of a hill that had a giant invisibility cloak over the entrance - Honey simply pulled it back when visiting on her sleigh.

Eagles: 

After a hard few days looking after her many new pets, Honey decided that it was time for some fun. This time with the favourite of her pets - her dog, Harry Potter. Honey had had Harry Potter (HP for short) since she was a little girl and loved him with all of her heart.

One of her favourite past times to do with HP was taking part in a game of table tennis. Honey would let Harry Potter start the game and he would serve the ball to her with enthusiasm and power. He was the current world champion in the dog league of table tennis, but didn’t like to brag about it. 

Once the game was over, which Harry Potter obviously won, Honey decided to take the sleigh to the fun fair because she had always wanted to go. 

When she arrived at the fun fair, her eyes were immediately drawn to a thrilling ride at the other side of the park. She dashed over to the ride and jumped on; luckily, there was no queue. Once the ride had finished, she was hungry so decided to get something to eat. Honey had a feast. She consumed: candyfloss, a hot dog and a pepperoni pizza. 

Honey was exhausted (and incredibly full!). It was time to head home on Santa’s super sleigh; she was so grateful to have been able to borrow her friend’s transport. She must remember to thank him when she next sees him.

Honey arrived home and Harry Potter sprinted over to greet her. He was filled with excitement to see her and jumped up into her arms. Because she had already eaten, she went straight up to her bedroom. She leapt onto the bottom bunk of her bright-pink wooden bunk bed. There was only one animal allowed on the top bunk: Harry Potter!

Honey and Harry Potter fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows - what a busy few days!
