A Visit to Grandparents' Place | Primary 2 Essay (for 8 year olds) | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Here's a short essay entitled "A Visit to the Grandparents' Place", which I composed when I was 8 years old.

A Visit to the Grandparents’ Place
It was a Saturday afternoon. Tom’s parents brought Tom and his sister to visit their grandparents. Tom and his sister were excited. They had not seen their grandparents for a long time. As their parents drove to their grandparents’ house, they thought of how their grandparents doted on them, like baking them cakes and cookies, buying them books to read, and playing chess and other board games with them.
                  
When they reached their grandparents’ house, Tom and his sister got out of the car and knocked on the door. Their grandparents opened the door and welcomed them with a big hug. There were big smiles on everyone’s faces.
                  
Knowing that Tom and his sister would be hungry, their grandmother had baked their favourite butter cake for them.  Meanwhile, their grandfather chatted with Tom’s parents. After Tom and his sister had gobbled up the entire cake, they played some board games with their grandmother. It was a real fun-filled afternoon!

Soon, it was time to go. Tom and his sister bade their grandparents goodbye reluctantly, and promised their grandparents that they would be coming back again next Saturday. Then they got back into the car for the ride home. Tom and his sister certainly had a wonderful time at their grandparents’ place.

Do you like going to your grandparents' place? I love going to mine as there's lots more space there for me to explore and I get to chat with my grandma, granduncle as well!

See you soon!

Stuck in the lift | Short essay, story for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"Stuck in the lift" - an experience I am sure a number of you may be able to relate to ... but in this particular case though, it was a little worse than the usual one ...              Brave.             I had always thought I was brave. As brave as a lion. Not fearful of anything.             Until the lift had broken down.             I was waiting patiently for the lift doors to open. A mother and her daughter waited patiently. The mother, clad in a light blue dress made of best quality material, clutched her daughter’s hand. Her lustrous blond hair cascaded down her well-toned shoulders. My innermost thoughts were soon jolted by the familiar mechanical sound of the lift’s doors opening. If only I had reconsidered taking the stairs … ...

Another one from the old collection of my Primary Two (8 years old) essays. I did this one at home. Fishing Trip It was a hot and blistering day .   Tom and his father decided to go to the river to fish.   It was Tom’s first fishing trip and he didn’t want to miss it. When they reached there, Tom and his father sat at the river and Tom’s father took out bait and fishing rods to fish with.   Tom’s father gave Tom one to fish. After half an hour, Tom felt a strong tug from his fishing line.   Tom quickly pulled out his fishing rod out.   The fish that he caught was struggling to get out.   Tom also struggled to pull the fish out of the water.   When he finally managed to pull it out, he took a look at it and found out it was an enormous fish.   Tom felt excited about this first catch.
