Latest News! - "Year 4 write newpaper reports!"

Here are some of the interesting and exciting newpaper reports created by Year 4.

**************************************************************************************
Blazing lights shine over Blandford (By Ellie)

Rumours spread around a little town called Blandford as a teacher claimed to see an amazing alien space craft last night.

The Office of National Security sent somebody immediately to investigate. The reporter interviewed the teacher and they searched the field.

She said “I heard a noise and then I saw blazing lights it landed in our school field and before my amazed eyes the small door slid open and a creature appeared it had three googly eyes on stalks that looked around while it stomped.

There are two other people that witnessed the space craft too. They said that they saw it hovering amazingly above the school.

The department found a broken fence and some flattened grass and so the investigation will be continued.


Blinding Lights at Blandford St Mary (By Jamie)
Confused stories were being spread all over Blandford last night. A teacher reported that a disc shaped spacecraft had landed in the centre of the school field.

Mrs Rees, the teacher claimed “I was working late marking books when I heard a rumbling sound getting louder and louder. Instantly the noise stopped, suddenly the spacecraft landed on the school field.

The teacher explained that bright red door slid open and an ugly, strange alien scrambled out. Iit had 3 miniature heads 5 eyes on stalks and a very lumpy bumpy skin.

Curiously the spaceship door had broken. Mrs Rees thought it was because it had hit a rock on its way down to earth which meant it couldn't take off. The alien appeared to be looking for something to fix its door with, it selected a few strips of wood and it soon got to work. The wood crashed and bashed together. The door was soon fixed. The ugly alien made its way back to the spacecraft, then quick as a flash it was gone.

Supporting Mrs Rees, the Year3 teachers reported to have seen the alien too. She witnessed that the alien looked worried. Luckily there was evidence of burnt, blackened grass where the space ship had taken off. The case will be further investigated by the local police who firmly believe there has been something down from the sky. Everyone is taking case very seriously. More investigations will be taking place to find out more about this alien.



Teacher sees UFO (By Maisy)
 Last night a teacher was marking Year 4 work when a dim light in the sky suspiciously appeared. The teacher thought it was a helicopter from the army. So she settled back down and when she looked out the window she saw it again but it was much closer this time.

After a few minutes it landed with no sound on the field and a little door on the side opened and out came an alien. It climbed out slowly sniffing the air. It was as small as a baby and had slime dripping down cold wet fur. Its 14 googly eyes looked around fearfully.

It bent down and ate some grass and went back to the UFO and the alien climbed quietly on. It started up again and as quick as a flash it was gone!

The next day the school was closed and there were lots of investigators from the Department of National Security. They never found any evidence of aliens and the case was closed.
