The Magic Poster

“ROAR!” yelled Sophie as she played with Steggy her toy stegosaurus. Knock, knock went the door. “Sophie, I have a gift for you,” said Nan as she handed Sophie a poster of Dinosaur Land. “Thank you!” cried Sophie as she took the poster. “This is your new home!” said Sophie as she put Steggy in front of the poster. The next morning Sophie woke up early to play with Steggy, but he was gone. She looked everywhere but could not find him. Then to her amazement she saw him in the poster! “That’s impossible!” she screamed as she touched it in surprise. WOOSH…she got sucked into the poster and found herself standing in Dinosaur Land.

In Dinosaur Land Sophie saw beautiful green fields and strange dark woods. She started looking for Steggy but all of a sudden, she tripped over and fell into a smelly swamp. As she tried to escape the sticky mud a giant T-Rex appeared and stomped towards Sophie. “Help!” she cried as the huge beast approached her. Just as the T-Rex was about to chomp Sophie’s head off, Steggy sprang out of the bushes and knocked the T-Rex into the swamp. He then used his tail to pull Sophie out of the mud.

Steggy looked at Sophie and smiled as a spinning portal opened up around them and sucked them back home. Annabelle Hazzard, 1N

Then to her amazement she saw him in the poster!

Wow! There once was a girl named Sophie and she loved dinosaurs. One day her Nanna gave her a poster of Dinosaur Land. She put her toy Steggy in front of the poster. The next morning Sophie woke up and found that Steggy was in her poster! She touched the poster and disappeared into Dinosaur Land! She was shocked. Then Sophie explored Dinosaur Land but… she got stuck in a big swamp. The T-Rex tried to attack Sophie in the big swamp, but she didn’t get caught. Phew! She was scared! Steggy saved Sophie from the swamp by scooping her up with his big head. The T-Rex ran away. When they returned home, Sophie told her mum about it. Her mum didn’t believe her. But it was true because Steggy still had mud on his spikes!

In a not so far away town lived a girl called Sophie. She loved dinosaurs. She was crazy about them! Then her Nana gave Sophie a poster of Dinosaur Land. Sophie loved it. She hung it in her bedroom. She had a toy dinosaur called Steggy. One night Sophie woke up from her bed. She looked up at the sky and saw a crescent moon and she also saw the brightest star she had ever seen. She walked towards the poster and opened it because she saw something glittering inside. Suddenly a gust of wind blew and then she was transported to Dinosaur Land. Sophie was wondering where she was. Then she looked around and she saw footprints that were huge. Then she got stuck in a swamp and she saw a T-Rex charging towards her like a bull. Sophie was terrified…

The Magic Poster

Sophie loves dinosaurs more than anything else. She is sad that they don’t exist anymore. On her sixth birthday, Nanna gives her a scroll. Sophie unrolled it, and to her surprise, it was a poster of Dinosaur Land. Sophie put it on the wall immediately, she just couldn’t wait to put Steggy, her pet stegosaurus, in front of the poster. “Goodnight, Steggy, hope you like your new home!” said Sophie. The next morning, the first thing Sophie does is to check how Steggy is going. But no one is in front of the poster anymore. At that moment, she finds the grass and ferns are waving and the stream is flowing. She hears a roaring sound; it is Steggy walking towards the stream. She couldn’t help touching it. Then a magical thing happens, she is transported to Dinosaur Land! Rayna Zhou, 1W
