Based on their art work, Past and Present Hands, the year 5 and 6 ESOL students created short snippets of writing to capture the stories behind their pictures.



My creepy old house is surrounded by overgrown bushes and spider webs. When night comes, the moaning and creaking starts. It stays for hours, until it finds somebody else to scare. Every day me and my brother have to stay inside, because we are terrified that the trees and bushes would come for us.

When I was seven years old, my family had a massive Christmas in Australia. There was a crowd of people on the sandy beach. My favourite part was the mouth watering, delicious buffet. I couldn’t wait to load up my plate. Everyone was partying like monkeys in a party bus! We had a lovely time that night. And that was the best Christmas I ever had.

Every day in Brazil where I lived, we had a very heavy downpour of rain that had giant drops and that drummed on our roof like a big tornado. The lightning was terrifying. It could even kill people and the heavy rain flooded the city like a river.

In South Africa when it was pouring down with rain, my dad would go to a drive through and buy some delicious snacks and hot chocolate with colourful marshmallows.

In South Africa I lived at the beach. I loved to dig my feet into the boiling hot sand and I ran into the freezing cold water, smashing into the small waves.

In Austria we have a huge old farm. It is about 200 years old, but no animal lives there anymore. The house is white and the roof is made of wood, so is the third story, and it has a wooden door. I can remember, when I stepped through the door, it was really cold even in summer.

It was 9pm, when me and my loving family were going to go from Africa to New Zealand, but of course there was a river of tears. Then we saw the plane safely coming down to collect the next passengers.
