School Fight! | Elijah Wee | Primary Three Essay (for 9 year olds) | Singapore

Here's one I wrote about a "School Fight" during my Primary Three days.

“Ring … Ring!” the bell for recess rang loudly. Pupils swarmed into the canteen to purchase food to eat. Some pupils went to purchase drinks to quench their thirst. After finishing their plates of fried noodles, Jason and Tommy placed their plates into the receptacles before going to the back alley of the canteen. When they reached the back alley, Jason fished out a pack of magic cards. They had agreed the previous day to play a game of ‘scissors, paper and stone’ at the back alley of the canteen. Jason and Tommy had decided that whoever won would get to keep the pack of magic cards.

“Yes! I won! Now Jason give me the pack of magic cards.” Tommy exclaimed excitedly. Jason was unwilling to give the pack of magic cards. So he said, “Let’s have another game to decide who is the winner.” At that moment, a voice boomed from nowhere, “Why not fight to decide who is the one who deserve the pack of magic cards? Besides, it will be fun!” It was none other then Tim and his gang of boys. They were notorious and well-known for bullying pupils during recess. Even though they were reprimanded many times, Tim and his gang of boys never seemed to learn their lesson.

Jason and Tommy had no choice. They knew that Tim and his gang of boys had forced pupils to fight before. If their victims did not relent, Tim and his gang would beat them up. Jason and Tommy pretended to fight. They exchanged gentle punches. They also pushed each other down gently onto the ground.

At that juncture, the discipline master, Mr Tan, shouted, “Tim are you bullying pupils again?” Jason and Tommy decided to seize this opportunity to break out from Tim and his gang of boys. They ran like there was no tomorrow. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Mr Tan.

Mr Tan demanded that Jason and Tommy tell him what had happened. After relating what had happened, Mr Tan’s face turned red. He told Jason and Tommy that why they had done was right. Mr Tan said that he would notify the parents of Tim and his friends of what had happened. They also would be caned. Jason and Tommy hoped that Tim and his gang of boys would turn over a new leaf.

Have you ever been in or encountered a school fight?

 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 …             Accompanied by the monotonous whirring sounds of the lift’s mechanical system, we were each absorbed in our thoughts as we looked on at the ascending numbers flashing in sequence on the lift display. Bump!

An act of kindness | Essay for Primary School kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

" An act of kindness" , a essay I wrote earlier in Primary 4 (10 years old) ...           School was over.          “Mountains and mountains of homework! Why do our teachers have to give us so much homework these days?” lamented Jason as he trudged home with heavy footsteps on the pavement. His schoolbag weighed like a ton of bricks. Jason felt that sooner or later he would collapse because of the heavy weight! Jason’s face was as glum as an oyster and he was not in the best of moods.          However, Jason’s mood was soon destined to be changed.          At that juncture, from the corner of his deep-set eyes, Jason spotted an old man hobbling past him. He was a tall shrivelled person who looked as though all body juices had been dried out of him long ago in a hot oven. On his feet, he wore worn-out leather shoes, which looked as though they had been patched up a million times. The old man had scanty white hair, a wrinkly face which was as pale as death. He u

An Act of Bravery | Essay for kids | Elijah Wee | Singapore

"An act of bravery"  was an essay I wrote and was featured recently :-) Hope you like it.             Davin’s act of bravery was certainly admirable.             “Class, this is the new student, Davin Chang. Please welcome him as our new addition!” Mrs Phua, our teacher, informed everyone in her usual chirpy voice. Shooting a look at him, I instantly made a silent decision never to befriend him. Davin was as skinny as a twig and looked shy. What’s more, his school uniform was as old as the hill, indicating that he was probably living in extreme poverty. All of us must have shared the same thoughts, for everyone seemed to look at him in utter disgust. From that day onwards, we made an “oath” - never to befriend him. After all, why bother befriending Davin when he was poor and looked like a rodent?             I should have remembered back then not to judge a book by its cover.             Excitement bubbled in pupils like soda water as they dashed off towards
