A Journey To The North Pole by Orlaith

It was Christmas Eve.Orlaith was reading a book about husky dogs. Then she heard jingling outside. She went over to the window. She saw husky dogs and a sleigh. Orlaith was surprised. She ran outside and jumped into the sleigh. They went to the North Pole to see Santa Claus. Orlaith went into Santas toy factory. She saw toy aeroplanes and she saw toy cars. She saw dolls and toy polar bears. Next she went to see Santa Claus and Mrs Claus. They were having tea and biscuits. Orlaith asked Santa Claus could she see the reindeer. Orlaith saw Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen and Rudolph. Rudolph has a red nose. I went for a ride on Dasher. We went high into the sky. Santa was watching to see who was naughty or nice. Santa wrote a list. Orlaith helped Santa deliver all the toys in time for Christmas day.

Santa Meets Rosie by Rosie

Once upon a time it was Christmas Eve and Rosie was up all night alone. Santa arrived in the garden and invited Rosie to have a ride in his sleigh. Then Rosie put on her coat and hat. Lets go Santa said Rosie and Santa set off to the North Pole on Santa’s sleigh. There’s a polar bear said Rosie. There’s the North Pole said Santa. I saw snow and ice everywhere. The elves said hello to Rosie. They were making toys for  children to play with. They gave Rosie “Baby Chou Chou”. I love baby Chou Chou said Rosie.Santa promised to give the doll to Rosie for Christmas. Then it was Christmas Eve and Santa came with Rosie's toys.

Santa and Me by Matthew

One cold Christmas Eve I was in bed. A noise woke me up. I got out of bed and tiptoed down stairs. I raced out the door. Out in the garden I saw Santa’s sleigh. Santa  asked me to have a ride with him to the North Pole  and see all his elves and his wife Mrs Claus and all his reindeer.

So I jumped in the sleigh. You can have hot chocolate mmmm. And cookies. I looked down.  We were very high. I saw  Christmas trees in all the houses.

Soon we landed at the North Pole. There was snow everywhere. I could see igloos built on the ice. Santa asked me to  come with him to the factory  for my  toys. 

On the way to the factory, I saw Stephen and Ryan. They were riding on reindeers. So I hopped on Dasher  and we started a race. I nearly fell off Dasher. Dasher played a trick on Ryan he pooped on him and he fell off, Then he whacked Stephen in the eye with his tail. He fell off suckers. Then he kicked me in the head and I fell off in the North Pole. Here are you toys. I want to go home, and then we went home. When we were there it was just about morning.

Christmas Night by Kieran S

It was winter. It was snowing. Today was the 23rd of December 2004.Santa and the Elves were making the toys in the toy factory. Santa sent one of his Elves to see who was naughty or nice and he saw that I was very nice so he took me to the North Pole. Santa let me take toys home. Santa played a game with me. I told Santa

it was time to go home. I said, ‘Goodbye

Santa’ and Santa said, ‘Goodbye’ and I gave Santa his milk and his cookies and I gave Rudolph his carrots.

The next day I ran into my Mum and Dad’s bedroom. I told them all about my night at the North Pole and Santa. I ran downstairs to see if Santa came to my house with the Christmas presents and he brought the presents. He brought a bike, a drum set and a play station two. I had the greatest Christmas ever.

Ryan and the Snowman by Ryan

It was Christmas Eve. I was building a snowman on Saturday evening.     I  thought I should give him a name, so I   called him Jack Frost.  That night I looked out my window, but the snowman was not there.  I ran outside.  I looked in the shed, but he was not in the shed. My sleigh was gone. I saw some tracks in the snow.

I followed the tracks.

They led into the forest.  It was very dark,

but then I saw a light in the dark.

I ran after the light. It led me out of  the forest,  but then the light disappeared.

Then I saw something in the sky.

It was a Reindeer.  The Reindeer came down to me.  He was very big.

Some how the he spoke to me.

I was surprised I never thought  Reindeer

could talk.  And I said  I thought only Santa’s  Reindeers could talk.  He told me that his name was Dasher and that he was indeed one of Santa`s reindeer.

Dasher agreed to help me to look for my lost snowman, Jack Frost.

Soon  we saw  a light  and we found the sleigh.  But the snowman  was  not  there . I  hopped  on the sleigh and Dasher pulled it  over the snow. We went very fast. After a while we found some footprints in the snow.  We followed the  footprints.   They led into a cave.

I went in.   It was dark, but  soon I saw something moving.  First I thought it was Jack but I was wrong.

It was Santa’s cave.  I could not believe my eyes.  There were elves everywhere.  They were making the toys for Christmas.

Mrs Claus was busy making hot chocolate and buns for everyone. Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas.  I was delighted to talk to Santa.  He was very kind and generous.

Soon it was time for me to go. Dasher gave me a ride on his back.  That was cool!!!

Next morning I went outside .   Jack Frost was standing in the garden. I wonder where he was last night?  I thought to myself.

The North Pole by Stephen

It was Christmas Eve. Santa was coming. It was snowing outside.  I was in my bed when I heard a rattling.  I looked out the window, and there on the road was a huge steam engine train.  I dashed outside and discovered that the train was heading to the North Pole.

"All aboard", said the driver. I hopped on. Inside there were beds everywhere. All the passengers were fast asleep.  I found an empty bed and sat down. The train started to go. It went faster and faster until it was flying through the air. I looked out the train window there were lots of houses and cars on the ground. The train went past lots of bridges and roads. Then we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

"Nearly there" shouted the driver.   The train slowed down and prepared for landing. Suddenly there was a loud noise and a big bump. I fell off the bed. The train had landed on a glacier. "Everyone off" shouted  the driver. I got off. It was snowing in the North Pole. Of course it’s snowing. It’s the North Pole. There were little people everywhere. I thought they looked like elves. I asked the driver where was the North Pole. He pointed to mountains that were covered with snow. I started walking. I looked up at a sign. It said "200 miles if you’re going to the North Pole. If you’re going to the South Pole you’re going the wrong direction. Ha ha ha.!!"

I was getting closer to the mountain every minute. Suddenly I heard a rumbling and I saw some snow coming down the mountain. It was an avalanche. It was rushing towards me. I ran for my life. It was getting faster. I noticed a cave when I was running. I jumped into the cave. The avalanche went by very fast. I got out when it stopped. I was terrified but I was lucky to be alive.

At last  I climbed the mountain. I passed polar bears and reindeer. I got to the top. There was a blizzard at the top. I saw some reindeer tracks in the snow. I heard a voice saying "Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas."

I knew it must be Santa and I was delighted.

I heard singing. I saw little houses. I entered one of the houses. There were elves everywhere. I saw Santa getting out of the sleigh. Santa!!! "Hello Stephen" said Santa."Hi Santa, I must hurry I’ve got a train to catch". "I think you missed it” said Santa. "Nuts" I said.  Santa offered to give me a lift on his sleigh.

"Now come on Rudolph and Dasher" shouted Santa. The reindeer started to move.  They gave a mighty jump, and in a few seconds we were flying.

In a flash I was back home in my own garden.  I was so tired I fell asleep in the snow. Santa picked me up and put me back to bed.  It was the best adventure I ever had.
