  1. Dear Diary

    Today I woke up in the morning got dressed and went down stairs
    to have breakfast. After there was a knock on my door when I
    Opened the guess who it was...yes that's right it was
    the Jolly Postman he had a letter and a little copy of my happy
    life. It was from the piper. I read the letter and gave the
    Jolly Postman some sham-pain. Then the Jolly Postman set of
    again but I was worried he was was wobbling on his bike
    back over the hill.

  2. On a sunny Saturday the cheerful Jolly postman came to my party and gave me a letter with a present.In my letter it said"Happy birthday Goldilocks".He gave me a cute,soft,smooth,nice barbie girl as a present.I was amazed to see the postman came to my birthday.We played video games on my computer.And then he got the delicous chocolate cake with a 8 number on it.I was stunned how kind he was. We both played a fun game named 'It' in the backgarden.Finally he had to go home we had a great time.

  4. Dear diary,

    Today I felt really thrilled that the postman had a letter for me because I had never had a letter before I hoped the postman was giving me a short letter saying that I could eat him because I was extremely hungry, but instead it was a letter from Little Red Riding Hood asking me why I had locked her beloved Grandma in the dark, gloomy cupboard and took her clothes - she is still in the cupboard with her frilly knickers on. Also I don't know why the Jolly Postman looked really scared instead of very jolly, maybe he knew I was the Big, Bad, Frightening Wolf. Anyways, I don't want to eat anyone unless they write a letter to me saying that they want to be eaten ( even though no one wants to be eaten). Well, the CTS (solicitors) including Harold Meany had written the letter for Little Red Riding Hood. When I dressed up as Grandma, at least I got a piece of cake. The postman left half of his tea because I accidentally put too much sugar as I was too busy reading the letter from the solicitors and I forgot to stir it and it was too hot. I was so angry I scrunched it up and furiously threw it in the dustbin, after the postman left. It was night-time and I was still angry.I read the book that had been published about Little Red Riding Hood. I dreamt of the official woodcutter chopping of Riding Hoods head.

    1. You have made some fantastic vocabulary choices Anya!
      Star- I especially like how many adverbs you have used to describe how you did something.
      Wish - Read through your opening sentence. Could you split it into two sentences? Where would the full stop go?

  5. Diary Entry: Sunday March 2nd 2014

    Today the Jolly Postman came to my house..... well actually to Grandma's house. (I think I know how the postman knew where I was). The letter read;

    "To BB Wolf,

    I've heard you have been wearing my Grandma's clothes without permission. Please stop it, otherwise we will call the wood-cutter and all the kings horses and all the kings men.

    By Little Red Riding Hood".

    This made me furious and I cursed L.R.R.H and Grandma, when the not so Jolly Postman had gone. I marched right inside to Grandma's house and slammed the door shut. I thought about if I should stop or not but I desided not to. And I did not reply to L.R.R H's letter.

    Today I was writing a letter to the 3 Bears about what I did and how daddy would fix Baby Bears chair. I also wrote in the letter that mummy said that I was a bad girl because I hardly ate porridge at home. In the letter I invited Baby Bear to my amazing birthday party.Then I took the letter and Walked down to the Jolly Postman's house and gave the letter to him before he went to deliver the post.After the Jolly Postman set off I went to buy for my party:
    Streamers, party hats, party horns, cake, ballons , candles, banner:Happy Birthday, bunting, garlands, Hanging decorations, decorations, clown, pinata, plates, cups, forks, knifes, spoons, food, birthday badge, games, pacel, face paint, welcome sign, return gifts, candy, music, bubble blower, medals, wrapping paper, donkey tail , pin the donkey board, straws, lighter, ice cream, party poppers, juice, punch, water,magician, Lego movie and big teddy bears:prizes.

    So I boughy all of that from a shop called Free. Then setted the decorations up. I put on my birthday party dress and {ding dong} all of my friends came in. Then the Jolly Postman came with a letter for me I read it and asked the postman to join the party.

    At the end of the party he went home for tea and I went to sleep I had an excellent day.

  8. BB wolf Diary
    Today I had the best day ever siting on my chair reading one grate newspaper that I was looking forward to. Just then a crazy postmen came. I went inside and gave a tea then I red the letter and you could not understand how bad that was. Here is the letter……………..
    To BB wolf

    Miss Hood told me that you have stolen her Grandmother’s cottage and are warring her clothes. If this goes on for any longer we will call the local wood cutter and all the kings’ men and all the kings’ houses. You’re chancily Harold Meany.
    So up there is the letter and no I have to tell you that postmen did not drink his tea he might have been in a terrible rush to not drink his grate tea. Anyway I felt weird then because when have I ever had a postmen come to my house and it was not that great to have him in my house.

  13. Cinderella Diary

    Monday 3rd March

    Woke up tired again from last chores, but ready to start again,cleaning and washing,scrubbing,and serving my step mother and three sisters.

    Feel like a slave,its already 11am and I have had no breakfast and still feel very tied.

    Door bell Rings "who was it?" It is the Jolly Postman he had come with the post he always cheers me up.
    However he only had post for my ugly mean sisters,two flashy envelopes that looked like party invitations.

    Jolly Postman noticed that I was upset and he magicked up an invitation for me too and for the rest of the day I was excited and didn't feel tired at all.

    I hummed a tune while I was working and was still humming when I went to bed.

    I dreamt about a large fancy ball and dancing with a charming prince.

  15. Once a jolly postman came down the hill from far away.He brought a letter for three bears. It was from goldilocks, saying that "she was sorry for breaking baby bear's chair and eating his porridge, and she also invite baby bear on her birthday. Jolly postman drank his tea and left.

    After that he went to a cottage ,where lived a wicked witch. He gave her the letter and that letter was from a company ,selling stuff to the witches. He left without drinking his tea because it was green.

    Next he went to a house with a huge bell and a huge bottle of milk. He delivered a letter to the giant .The letter was from jack, saying that "he and his mother are very happy with the hen.It is still laying golden eggs. One day I will come for the harp.

    After that Jolly postman went to a palace and gave a letter to Cinderella. The letter was from Piper press, saying that they have published a book about her story for younger readers. They also send her a copy of the book. The Jolly postman drank a glass of champagne and left for next house.

    It was hot and Jolly postman find a cool spot. It was grandma's cottage. But the letter was for Mr. Wolf and it was from Red Redding hood's lawyer, saying that Mr. wolf has to leave grandma's cottage and cloths. The jolly postman left the house nervously without drinking tea.

    At last he went to Goldilocks's house.He gave her a birthday card .It was from her grandparents with some money in it, on her 8th birthday. Goldilocks asked Jolly postman if he could stay for the party, and he said yes. Then he left for his home.

    Once on a bicycle ,they say came a jolly postman from over the hill and far away.
