Magician's Nephew Blog

Dear Diary,
Today was an exciting but yet strange day. I was in the middle of a washing day and suddenly I blinked and appeared in a magical world. I saw my husband and his horse and many other people and animals. At first I thought I was dreaming but then I realized I wasn't when I saw the lion. I then gave him a little half curtsey. Then the lion said to my husband and I that we are to be the first king and queen of Narnia. My husband opened his mouth in astonishment and I turned very red. Next the lion said something but I was to out of it to pay attention to him speaking, and then I heard my husband say something like he wasn't sort of the chap for a job like that. Finally the lion asked my husband many questions and then said he will have done everything like a king. Can you believe my day?

Sincerely, 
Nellie or (in this case Queen Nellie)

Rainy Day Poem

As the rain falls
I hear it call
Speaking very loud
Almost like a crowd
