Did you know that the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong? Their rocket was called Eagle II. When Neil Armstrong landed on the moon he said, ‘One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’. Everyone was watching it at the time. Just then Neil Armstrong put an American flag on the moon. The sun is a big ball of fire. There are nine planets. You have to wear really strong boots. Space is a dangerous place as there is no air there. A person could die in seconds.

My poem
I went to space in a spaceship
I met come aliens on planet Pluto
They invaded me! They strapped me
To a metal table. In was in their
Spaceship. I thought maybe they
Were planning to kill me! Then
They huddled up together. I broke the
Straps with a knife I had in
My pocket. I saw the door! I
Ran to it, I opened it and jumped
Out! I had escaped!

My Toy Rocket
There was once a girl who wanted to go to space. Her name was Ricky. Ricky’s teacher asked Ricky that she should bring a toy in. Ricky brought a toy rocket because she always wanted to go to space. Suddenly her toy rocket got bigger and bigger until it was a real rocket. She tried to hide the rocket but all her friends saw it. So she decided to take the whole class to space. She pinched herself to see if it was true. The whole class got a space suit to wear to space. Finally, the whole class got ready to go. The teacher didn’t know the children were leaving because she had left the room. So the children went to space. The rocket looked wonderful. They arrived at space. First they went to Mars. Then they went to Saturn. They collected stones to bring back to earth. By the time they came back to earth it was night time. So as soon as they came back they went to bed but there was something bothering Ricky and that was how her rocket got big!

300 chattering, midget aliens. I fainted, there was so many. When I woke up later the midget aliens were huddled around me. I was in a red cave. It was freaky! As I opened my eyes very slowly they started praising me and worshipping me and calling me Lord. The next crazy thing they did was bring up a throne! They pushed me onto it. Then I said, ‘I come in peace’ and they said, ‘we come in pieces’. I think they thought I was their Lord. I said to myself, I want grapes; and they came up to me with a plate of grapes. I ate one, they were good! But then I thought, ‘I’m getting spoiled’. So I got up, jumped over the midget aliens, out of the cave, and I ran straight forward, round the corner and into the rocket and then I went home.

My Space Adventure

One day I was bored. So I got out of bed, put on the closest shoes to me, which were my slippers and went to a shop with my Mom. I got some tools, nails and wood and got back into my car and got home. My dog, who was running behind me and I ran into my garage with all my stuff that I needed. I thought and thought and thought even more until I had an idea. I got to work quickly. When I was finished, I picked up my dog and ran into the spaceship. I went all around space, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and two more. When I got home I had to keep quiet so nobody would realise what an adventure I had. It had been four days which meant that everyone thought that I was missing. As I read this on the back of the carton of milk I said, under my breath, ‘Uh..oh..!’ just then I woke up and said ‘phew, it was all a dream’. Then my Mum shouted, ‘Ella, breakfast!’ then I got out of bed and smiled.
