I am a Chick by John Paulo Dacayanan

I am a chick, a little chick from my mother the hen. On the first days of my life, I was in an egg. They say a chick’s egg should hatch within twenty one days. Now that I came out of my eggshell, I can live just like my mother. I love to eat just what chickens eat; seeds and rice. Most chicks like me live on a farm. Some are destined to become food for humans to eat. It is a good thing that I was able to hatch out of my eggshell and live normally to become a chicken someday.

I am a Chick by Martina Pace

I am a chick and my name is Yellow. My name is Yellow, because my feathers are all yellow. I have brown eyes. Around my neck there is a collar and in the collar I have a small bell so that I won’t get lost. I live in a big and clean house because I am the pet of a girl. This girl takes good care of me. Sometimes she takes me for a walk. During the night I sleep in her bedroom because I have a small bed of my own. She even takes me to school with her! In the evening she gives me a small bowl of food so that I can eat. I like being a chick and I’m really happy that I found this girl taking good care of me.

I am a Chick by Anthea Falzon

I am a chick but I am not a mammal because I am covered with feathers and not with fur. I am a yellow chick with black small eyes. I don’t have brothers or sisters but I have lots and lots of friends like me. I love my friends and they love me too because we play together in the fields all day long. Every morning and evening, the farmer puts food and water in our bowls. When some chicks are born, the farmer calls the vet to check them to keep them safe and strong and healthy. I love to be a chick because I love Spring time in the fields and meadows of the farmer’s farm.

At EASTER time the children draw a picture of me on their EASTER cards.

I am a chick by Leon Camilleri

My name is Leon and I am a chick. My mother is a chicken and she has eight brothers and sisters. My body is covered with yellow feathers and I hatched out of an egg. Life on the farm where I live is fun because I have many friends there. Some of them are chicks like me but Bessie the Cow and Tony the Pig are also my friends.

Daniel's Story

Angele and James went to play in the park. It was a sunny day. They went to play hide and seek. Angele hid in an apple tree and James was counting on the left of the tree. Angele found a big egg and told James to come up the tree. James saw and egg and it was very big, bigger than the ones he liked to eat. After a minute, the egg made a big cracking sound. A dodo came out and they named him Daniel. They went home and gave him peas to eat and they kept him and lived happily ever after.

Yesterday, when you opened your lunchbox, you did not find your lunch. You found something else, something magical. What did you find?

I found a magic key in my lunchbox one day! I felt very happy because the magic key was big and golden. It flew and talked. It was alive because it was talking and flying without stopping. I told everyone about my magic key and about my magical adventures. They all wanted to keep the key but I did not give it to anyone because it was mine!

Shania Azzopardi

I have bread for my lunch. My mother prepares it for me. I found a magic wand in my lunchbox one day. I was excited. It made lovely magic and it was pink. It was alive for me. I told my cousin about it. I kept it with me and I used it for good deeds. The wand didn’t have arms. The wand was a girl. When I met my friends I told them all about the wand. The wand helped me with my homework. I called my wand Sarafina. My wand ate flowers and made pink dust. It was decorated with blue hearts. At night my wand dreamt about me and I dreamt about her. My wand had feet. I loved my wand.

For my lunch I have bread. My mum prepares it for me. Yesterday I did not find bread. I found a magic key. It was glowing. It was very nice. I was excited because it was very nice and shiny.  It gave me super magic! I went home and told my mum and dad and brother about it. Mum and dad wanted to keep it in a safe place. They told me to keep it in a soft box in my room. That was very exciting! Unfortunately, the key was not alive. When I held it, it glowed very fast, said the magic words and I did just what it said. I went to places without walking. It was great fun! I loved it. It gave me super magic! I went home and told my mum and dad and brother about it. Mum and dad wanted to keep it in a safe place. They told me to keep it in a soft box in my room. That was very exciting! Unfortunately, the key was not alive. When I held it, it glowed very fast, said the magic words and I did just what it said.

When I opened my lunchbox I found a skateboard. The skateboard was small. I threw it in the rubbish bin. The lid of the rubbish bin opened and the skateboard got out. All the rubbish inside the rubbish bin fell on the floor with a bum…the skateboard landed on the table. When I returned home I locked the skateboard in a cage, but it opened again. The skateboard had a key and the key was glowing. It was time for an adventure!

Juan Chircop

It was time to eat at school, but I did not find my lunch…I found something else. I found a stick instead of my bread my grandfather usually gives me. I did not know what to do, so I put it in my bag. When I went home the stick was calling me. I did not know what it wanted. When I went to do my homework, I found out it was ready. The next morning I went to school but I got the stick near my lunch and the same thing happened, but instead of the second stick, I got a pipe. When I went to do a test in the test room I remembered that I had forgotten all about studying. Instead of getting a zero, I got full marks! The pipe had done all the work!

When I returned home I noticed that the stick and the pipe had helped me at school, so I went on a journey to give them back. I searched the entire Malta but I got no luck. On the next Wednesday, my mother took me to England for a month. During that time, I searched England and before I gave up I found a portal to another world and I found out where I had to return the stick and the pipe. I made some new friends named Leon and John. When I went back to my mother I found Leon and John waiting for me. Then I told my mother what had happened. At first she did not believe me but when I showed her Leon and John disguised, she had to believe me. The portal took us back to Malta in our house and we did not tell anyone about the adventure we had. After school I went to play with Leon and John and we played and enjoyed ourselves as never before.

At school I opened my lunchbox . I found my bread, my bottle and my cup. It was good because mum did  it. Suddenly my lunchbox started glowing and my lunch disappeared and I doll appeared instead. I was shocked. Her face was pink and down. She had black hair and black lips and eyes. When I looked at her, she took me to a new world. She was alive. She told me to keep everything a secret, so I could not tell anyone. One day my mum saw the doll and gave it to her friend.

I usually have bread and water for lunch. My mother prepares my lunch every morning before I go to school. Yesterday, when I opened my lunchbox, I did not find my usual lunch, but I found a bird. I was excited. It was brown and big. It flew out of my lunchbox. All my friends saw it!
