Snake in class! (Primary Two essay for 8 year olds by Elijah Wee from Singapore)


Do you take to snakes? Err ... I feel kinda squirmish when I see them crawling around, even when they are behind cages! Here is an essay about the incident "Snake in class!"

Mrs. Lee was teaching her pupils English in class. All the pupils were paying attention to her. The pupils liked her as she was a kind teacher. Her face was always bright and cheery.

Mrs. Lee was explaining to the pupils a question and Jane was taking down some notes down based on what Mrs. Lee was teaching them. Jane was about to complete writing down her notes when she heard a hissing sound. Turning around to see what was making the sound, she realized that there was a dark green snake. The snake had coiled around a broom next to the bin. It was almost lifeless. Her face turned as pale as a ghost and she then let out a loud ear-piercing scream. When the rest of the pupils heard her scream, they were dumbfounded and turned to see what happening. Seeing the venomous snake, they let out a blood-curdling scream too.
                  
Shrieks of terror filled the classroom as the pupils moved away from the snake. When Mrs. Lee saw the snake, they instructed for everyone to get out of the classroom. Once the pupils were out, she alerted the school cleaners to catch hold of the snake and put it into a gunny sack. The school cleaners poked the snake, lifted it up and placed it into the gunny sack. One of the cleaners then tied up the gunny sack and was going to bring the snake to the zoo. Mrs. Lee got the pupils to come back into the classroom. The pupils heaved a sigh of relief when the snake was no longer in the classroom. When they reached home, they narrated to the parents what had happened in school.

Any close encounters with snakes you have to share?

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 … ...

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...

Incident of cheating at the exams (Primary 4 essay for 10 year olds by Elijah Wee, Singapore)

I am particularly proud of this essay I wrote when I was in Primary 4  (10 years old) at Ngee Ann Primary School - received my personal best score for this one, entitled "Incident of cheating at the exams" .     John was a lazy boy. He would always play computer games and watch television. One day, before his English examination, he began to panic as he had not revised for it. John took out his textbook and copied some notes down on the palm of his hand.     The next day, when the English examination had started, their form teacher, Mrs Ong, left the examination hall and the stern-looking Mrs Lim entered. As John was writing on his paper, he encountered a difficult question. No matter how hard he tried to think of the answer, his mind remained a blank state . Just then, an idea brewed in his mind, "Why not copy the answers from the palm of my hand?"     Before copying, John scanned the whole place like a robber on the lookout for men in b...
