Alas! A Rainy Day at the Beach | Primary Three Essay for 9 Year Olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore


During my Primary Three days, I wrote the following essay "Alas! A Rainy Day at the Beach". Tell me how you find it.

It was a sweltering hot Saturday afternoon. Mr. Lee and his family were at home enjoying each other’s company and watching television. In the midst of the afternoon movie, Mrs. Lee suggested that they go to the beach to chill out.  Mrs. Lee’s suggestion was greeted with glee by her children, Jack and Jane. Like eager beavers, the Lee family immediately started packing into the car what they needed for their outing. Grinning from ear to ear, Jack and Jane, entered the car.

On reaching the beach, Mr. Lee, Jack and Jane made a beeline in the direction of the sea. The children were wearing their newly purchased swimming gear from Bangkok. Meanwhile, Mrs. Lee laid out the picnic mat under the shade of a nearby Rain tree. Comfortable, she took out her book and started to read it.

They were having so much fun at the beach. Unexpectedly, a clap of thunder rumbled in the distance followed by a streak of lightning. It grew louder into a deafening crescendo with each passing minute. Just then, the sunny blue skies were cloaked by dark stormy clouds.  At that juncture, without any warning, it began to rain cats and dogs. The picnickers scrambled hurriedly away from the beach with their belongings in their hands. The Lee family scurried back into their Toyota to take cover from the merciless downpour.

Everyone was disappointed on how the day had turned out to be. Seeing their glum faces, Mrs. Lee suggested, “Shall we go to the nearby TimeZone amusement centre instead?” The children cheered excitedly on hearing their mother’s suggestion. Mr. Lee also promised them that they would return to the beach the next day. Both Jack and Jane looked at each other and beamed with happiness. It was indeed a great family bonding day!

Is the beach your favourite haunt? Well when there is good weather of course ... ;-)


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.

Marooned on an island | Essay for 10 year olds | Elijah Wee | Singapore

Hey there. Here's an adventure story " Marooned on an island" from me - a departure from my usual essay topics. Hope you enjoy this!             “No. This cannot be happening,” I muttered to myself as I stared at what was right before my bespectacled eyes. I had been marooned on a deserted island. The ship I was in had run aground.             The sun shone brilliantly and the high clouds drifted across the clear blue sky. My hands felt clammy. I tried looking for any signs of human activity but there was nobody in sight. The thought of being all alone sent shivers down my spine.             Being positive, I decided to go in search of food for myself. Arriving at the entrance of the jungle twenty minutes later, I was trembling like a leaf and my heart pounded wildly as I staggered uninhabited jungle on the i...
