The localpolice were there at 6 a.m. They had a 999 callfrom the Princess. They soon tracked down that thetype of person that did this is a pirate. We believethat Blackbeard did it because there was a pictureof him and underneath there was some really badwriting saying ‘Me’.Allegedly he got in by creeping in throughthe open castle door. We believe he did it because ifthe king found out, he would make an announcementthat would be: ‘If anyone can find the treasurethey can marry my daughter’’, or something likethat.The most precious necklace in the castlewas also stolen. The Princess said: ‘I heard the clatterof glass and a loud creak of the castle door’.Marili V, Year 2Some that flyAnd some that don’tSome that swimAnd some that won’t.Some with scalesAnd some that prowlSome with teethAnd some that growl.Libe W, Year 254Minna F, Year 2 Natasha C, Year 2
