The Snake Eye Ring
Slithering round to the back like a thief in the night, Danny noticed this shop may be magic but then he stumbled upon a magical looking box. He forced the box open with all of his strength and inside... Was a ring with the eye of a snake or some sort of reptile creature. With his heart pounding like thunder, he reached in and retrieved the ring from the magical box.
At first he said, “This is just an ordinary ring,”
But he was wrong because as he slipped the ring on with ease he started to feel a bit woozy and passed out. Then as he woke up still feeling a bit dazed he looked at his hand and realised the ring had a great evil power his face shot pale as the mutation continued he would soon be mutated into a dragon if he did not take off the ring...
Well done to Hayden Groves (Amber) for this great piece of writing following Monday's online English lesson.

The Locals: Diaries - Distance Learning Project with Sutton Cultural Services
The Locals: Diaries - Distance Learning Project with Sutton Cultural Services
LEO Academy Trust have been asked to take part in an exciting project from Sutton Cultural Services called ‘The Locals: Diaries’. We are incredibly honoured to have been asked and hope that lots of you will want to get involved.
Sutton Council Archives are collecting diary entries from different types of people throughout the borough during this unusual time. They are going to add your entries to Sutton’s Archive Collection so that historians of the future can learn what this time was like for people in our community.
Entries can be as short or as long as you like. You can write about one single day, a week or keep a diary over a few weeks. Your diary can include photographs, drawings or even poetry. It can be handwritten or digital. You could even make a video diary (If other people are in the video, make sure that you have their permission). BE CREATIVE!
Click here for a template you could use.
Anyone can take part in the project but in order for the diaries to be entered into the Sutton Council Archives, we will need parental permission.
Once the diary entry is completed, please email to: diaryentryproject@leoacademytrust.co.uk.
Please include your child’s name, school, class and age.
Then please complete this form to give permission.

Wait, wait! Save us! What’ll we do?’
Simon is determined to become a painter when he grows up so he sets off to London to make his fortune. But the city is plagued by wolves and mysterious disappearances. The Twite household, where Simon is lodging, seems particularly shifty. Before he even gets a chance to open his glistening new paints Simon stumbles right into the centre of a plot to kill the King. And worse than that Simon is kidnapped and sent to sea! Luckily there are two friendly stowaways aboard – the feisty Dido Twite and the spoiled young Justin. But when the ship catches fire things look pretty dire. Can they escape? Will they save the king in time?
