Halloween stories. Story by Julia from 6th grade B.

Children born on a full moon day can see the ghosts of dead people. And I was born on a full moon day...

When I was a little girl (about eight years old) I told my friends that I have seen a person whose face could not be seen.

My friends said it was a joke. But I told them it was true.

Some weeks later the face started to appear. It was my grandfather Faustino.

But when I grew up (more or less at 9 years old) I didn't see him anymore.

Halloween stories. Story by Daniela V. from 6th grade B.

The boogeyman in my sister's house.

Since my sister is married and has a child, she decided to by a new house; a bigger one. This new house had three levels. The first one was like a garage, whereby you entered. Then, upstairs, it was the second level. You opened the door and there was the livingroom, the kitchen, the bathroom and a bedroom. You went upstaris again and there were three rooms. 

But the story I'm about to tell happened on the second floor...

One day, in the livingroom, my nephew looked at the door which leads to the garage and started to cry. My aunty tried everything to calm him down, but nothing. "What's going on with this little child?" She asked herself. From that day, the baby could not be in the livingroom, neither close to that door.

But the thing does not stop here. Some days later a little cousin of me come to my sister's house. And the same thing exactly happend: the child froze looking at the same door and crying again. And not only these two babies: all little children coming home got very scared with that door.

Seeing that, my sister decide to call a medium (a person who sees things that normal people don't). That person came and very soon she pointed at the door. She said "There is something wrong with that door. Something or someone who doesn't like you being here. If I were you, I would leave inmediately"

The day after my sister put the house on sale. They abandoned the building and never came again.

Later we knew about the boogeymans: evil spirits which sometimes break into houses. Only little children can see them. Maybe that was what the medium saw... in the door which leads to the garage.

Ghost stories by old pupils. Spooky spooky.

Some years ago some chidren told me these stories, based on true facts. I hope you'll enjoy them:

Story number 1. The ghost beside the cradle.

My mum told me this story. When I was a baby I slept in a cradle. One day my mother pass by the corridor and look inside my room. It was night. There, a dark shape was standing next to my cradle. My mum cried, trying to waking up my father. But my father couldn't. The shadow slowly vanished and didn't come anymore.


Story number 2. The blinking doll.

Once my sister and me were playing with dolls. It was night. We were looking at the doll when suddenly she blinked, looking at us. We ran away from there. 


Story number 3. The shadow on the swing.

4 o'clock at night. I was awake, in my bedroon at my country house. I listened to the swing at the garden. It was moving by itself. When I looked by the window I saw a shape, like a child, swinging. Then the child vanished. In a recording from a security camera the shadow appears. What was it? We don't know.


Story number 4. The tall man in the corridor.

I was playing Fortnite at 2 o'clock, at night. I stopped playing and I looked at the corridor. There a tall and slender figure was walking towards me. Fortunately, it vanished. Curiously I was playing with a friend. He also saw the tall and slender figure, but in his own house. What was it? We don't know.

Natural disasters. Last days of Pompeii. 5th grade A.

I want to start with this macabre picture:


You are watching the remainders of people who lived (and died) in Pompeii. What did it happen? Why are their body shapes transformed into sculptures? In this report I will tell you about one of the most tragic and famous facts on ancient times: Vesuvius eruption and later destruction of Pompeii. 

Setting definition:


Pompeii was a beautiful Roman city in the south of Italy. It was rich, full of great houses, theatres, wide streets, gardens, squares, markets... People lived there happy, celebrating festivals, working and enjoying the life. They couldn't imagine what was comming on.



The disaster.

On 24 August AD 79, at 8 o'clock in the morning (this is almost 2000 years ago) the Vesuvius started an eruption. In accordance with scientists, there were some different stages:

  1. In the morning: small earthquakes and some smoke on the mountain. People were still not affraid because they didn't know anything about volcanoes and how dangerous they could be.
  2. Noon: the Vesuvius spits a great cloud of superheated ash, getting the sky dark as if it were night time. In the afternoon the great ash cloud starts to drop pumice stones. These stones collapse the roofs of houses, burying alive people inside.
  3. In the evening: The stone rain continues. Many people run away from Pompeii; but many others resist inside their houses, because they wanted to protect their possessions from thiefs and robbers.
  4. At night: Vesuvius deals his final stroke. It spits a blazing ash cloud towards Pompeii, killing to everyone.


Consequences.

Pompeii was completely buried under six meters of stone and ashes. People forgot the story, and also the city. But in 1748 Carlo di Borbone started to excavate the city, discovering all these remainders that you can see today.
