Turkey Run by Christopher

There was a turkey called Dustin. He lived in a farm outside Dublin with a farmer and his wife and many other animals. The farmer’s wife was very cruel, and the farmer was a softer person. Whatever the farmer’s wife wanted she got. They were both quite wealthy and rich so they were a bit spoiled. Dustin was a lonely turkey with no friends the other turkeys just laughed at him most of the time. Dustin didn’t know about Christmas, but all the other turkeys did.

One day Dustin saw the farmer’s wife putting a tree up and putting decorations on it. And another day the farmer’s wife went shopping more often than she should have. Then one day the farmer and his wife had an argument over something, then the farmer took two turkeys into the barn and the day after that he took three turkeys. Dustin started to get worried because he never saw them turkeys ever again. Another day the farmer took five turkeys, but he forgot to close the gate. Dustin then made a run for it, as he was running he bumped into a bear like dog called Socky. “Where are you going” “I’m running away”.  “So am I”. “We’ll run away together” “Hi I’m Socky” “And I’m Dustin”.

As Socky and Dustin were running through the field the farmer’s wife saw them, and went after them in a tractor, after a while Dustin and Socky came to a junction and ran across very quickly with hundreds of cars passing. As the farmers wife came rallying down the field thinking the turkey is still running in the field. Then she suddenly ramped threw a fence on to the junction and she was slammed by a huge truck filled with bales of hay pouring in top of the tractor crushing it more. Then Socky and Dustin fell sleep and when they woke up they were in RTÉ studio in Dublin City

Turkey Run by Kieran McD

Hello I am Bridget I live in a farm yard. I thought one day I was getting more food than I was getting before. Then I thought that maybe John the farmer is making me fat for Christmas Day dinner because it is only one week to Christmas. I thought I better tell my friend Mary, Paul and I met them the next day.  I said the farmer is fattening us up for Christmas.  “Can you tell the other turkeys now”? “Tell them that we are going to escape tomorrow. Make sure they take any tings that they need to use ok”! “Yes” said Paul, Jim and Mary. “Don’t look suspicious”. “Tell them that we are leaving at twelve o’clock sharp, bye”. The next day we set off to the last turkey’s house. All the other turkeys were there. They started digging a big hole under the fence. They were out of the farm yard. But there were problems. The farmer and the farmer’s wife were coming to get us. They started running. The farmer’s wife and the farmer went into the pen and they got locked in the farm yard the hens locked the gate. We were free and walked away. We all went to Spain for our holiday away from the farm yard and never came back.

Santa Claus Is Kidnapped by Michelle

It was two weeks before Christmas and Santa and the elves were working extremely hard. Mrs Claus was wrapping the presents. They were all day and night. When Christmas came Santa got ready to head off to deliver all the presents to the children all over the world. Every one said goodbye and Santa headed off. Just as he was going to China he heard a noise in the back of his sleigh. He looked back and saw a little man all covered in black. The little man had black tape in his hand and he grabbed Santa and put tape over his mouth.

The little man pulled off his mask and it was Santa’s favourite elf Dumpy. Dumpy took the rains of the sleigh. They headed off towards Russia and landed in Moscow. Dumpy got out of the sleigh and took Santa into a big factory with lots of other elves. Dumpy wrote out a ransom note for Mrs Claus and he sent it away with an elf. He gave it to Mrs Claus and she opened it and read it, the note said

‘Dear Mrs Claus

I have Santa and I won’t let him go until I get 1 million euro. So if you choose to give me the money or Santa will die. By the way it’s Dumpy and I am in Russia’’

Mrs Claus didn’t know what to do. She had 1 million euro but that was for all the elves for there hard work. She was thinking hard of what she will do. Dumpy through Santa into a little room packed with boxes of presents and gifts. Santa took the tape off his mouth and started to worry about the children that they would be so disappointed when they see that they have no presents in the morning. He took a look around and saw a big pile of boxes and took the bottom box and the big pile of boxes fell on top of him. Dumpy came into the room and saw Santa Claus lying on the ground unconscious. Dumpy started to panic a lot. He didn’t know what to do. At the North Pole Mrs Claus loved Santa and had to pay the ransom.

She went to Russia on the backup sleigh. Mrs Claus went into the factory and called Dumpy. Dumpy heard Mrs Claus calling and he said ‘ahhhh there’s my money, I mean Mrs Claus. Dumpy ran out to Mrs Claus. Mrs Claus gave Dumpy the money and she said ‘were is Santa? I want him back right now. Santa woke up and he was all confused. Mrs Claus came into the room and was so happy to see Santa. They went back to the North Pole and Santa was very sad. Because he was thinking of the children. Mrs Claus said that he would still make it around the world. So Santa left straight away. When he came home in the morning he was flat out and went straight to bed and he forgot about what happened that night. And they lived happily ever after.

Turkey Run by Conall

Once upon a time there was a turkey farm and one turkey really wanted to get out.  But Damien (the man who killed the turkeys) was watching them.  The turkey’s name was Dustin.  ‘ROLL CALL’ called Damien so all the turkeys lined up everybody is here.  ‘Now let’s pick out turkey of the day!’’ Now let’s pick out turkey of the day!’ ’WOW I love turkey of the day’ said one of the turkeys. ‘ Do you know what happens to turkey of the day’ said Dustin?! ‘No but I want to know’. ‘Pick me Pick me shouted the turkey’!     

‘Ok you are good and fat’, said Damien. So Damien took him over to the slaughterhouse. 

‘Poor turkey’, sobbed Dustin.  ‘He’s dead meat cried a turkey’.  ‘It is time we stand up to Damien’ announced Dustin. ‘We need a plan’, stated Dustin and I have one’. ‘Here’s what we need to do’.  Soon Dustin gave everybody their post and they were ready.  ‘Roll Call’ shrieked Damien.  ‘Hey Dustin is missing’, gasped Damien.              ‘Look behind you Damien’.  Dustin stuck a knife in Damien’s back.  The turkeys made a catapult with Damien and they got over the fence.  The turkeys made a good catapult for Dustin.  Dustin went on the catapult but he landed on a dinner table and people ate him feathers and all.
