One day there lived a boy and his name was Alfie. He was 19 years old and he had straight black hair and blue eyes.  Alfie also came from Britannia.  Alfie rely wanted to join the Navy he always asked his parents but they said no.  One day finally his dad said yes so of he went to the Navy.

Firstly he was just a cook he actually quite liked his job as a cook he cooked all types of food.  He cooked dried beef and pickled onions also red cabbage. The ship that he fought on was called Victory.  On the ship when the guns and canons went off he was sometimes scared but he tried to face his fears.

Sometimes Alfie was cheeky so he got beat. The ship was very bumpy and shaky. So that made life on board the ship to do stuff. Alfie worked hard on the ship even though he got beat sometime. One day when he was loading a canon he got hurt in the leg so his friend took him to the surgeon, to get better the surgeon had to cut your clothes. After the visit to the surgeon Alfie was all better.

On the day of the battle lots of people were killed and injured.  On the day Alfie’s thing to do was to fight the French and Spanish defenders. Alfie also helped to load the canons.

When the Navy was over Alfie still lived and he was a good fighter. Alfie played board games with his friends such as chess and other games Alfie was a good fighter and lived a good life.

“It was nasty!”

We took 10 ships down in a week in 5 years altogether I liked the navy they were a good team

Yesterday, my team had a really long rest, we got our muskets ready to fire. My crew burnt a really big ship down the big ship had lots of enemies on board the ship. The best thing about the navy we had sharp swords and we had lots of food and drinks it was the most frightening thing in my life.

Once there was a boy called George he was 14 years old and lived with his dad and his dog Pepper in Madrid and were very wealthy and had lots of money. George’s mum died when he was only 11 years old and since then he wanted to join the Spanish Navy and be a captain but his dad told him that he was too young and he didn’t want to lose his son as well as his wife.

One year later, after begging his dad so much he convinced him to go to the navy and fight, he was commanded to be a master at arms (keeps control of sailors on the Victory ship.)

George had a very good life on board and was very confident; the marines always listened to him. Before he went onto the boat he thought it was quite easy but actually it was pretty hard.

He ate a pound of biscuit every day and had some grog. In his spare time he liked to play chess and play the guitar. George also had five friends that he liked playing music with Beatriz S., Thor, Nicole, Mariana and Melanie and they all play a different instrument.

Some days later, it was the great day the battle of Trafalgar and George was very nervous he had been practising for ages. Later, he found out something that made him even more nervous! There were 27 English ships and 25 Spanish ships and he thought he was going to lose. The battle started really well for the English people they killed everyone straight away and only George and the cook were left “Come on don’t give up!” said George still confidently.

After some minutes, George and the cook were back in the game and they killed Nelson and soon the whole team. Later, they were jumping in the air with happiness. “We made it!” said George. “We made it!” They were very happy and tired so decided to go to sleep.

After the Navy, George decided to go back home and be an archaeologist to look for animal bones. When he got home his dad was very pleased to see him and they all lived a good life.

“But I don’t want to be a cook I want to be a Admiral” exclaimed Beatriz.

When I went on board I met a few friends called Keisi, Karly, Thor, Sid, Mafalda, Beth, Beatriz S and Nicole.  After the captain said “you are the new Admiral!”.

My cooks made me a prawn bread fish spinach meal and to drink was rum.

We also played some board games and after we went to check if any fighters were there.

After they came to us and started fighting.

The French and Spanish jumped on board and started shooting one of my friends. Luckily one of my cooks picked up a gun and starting shooting the French and Spanish .When the attackers lost there members they joined to together.

I got shot but my nurse saved me by repapering a new leg and I went there and then I started fighting.

After 2 months the boat crashed and only me and some friends were alive. After I retired my job because I didn’t want to die so I gave my job to Bethany and now she is a admiral.

One day she said “I want to join the Navy” So she went without no one knowing. She really liked the ship it was called victory so at first she was looking for a job and she thought why not cook and so she did. So she really wanted to see her family too so she went to the telescope and tried to see her family oh silly Maria she forgot that her family lives under the sea but she said “oh silly me how could I forget they must be under the sea feeding the dolphins” and they actually were doing that.

She drank a potion which made her turn into a human.

“I hate cooking it stinks” “I want to fight its not fair everyone gets to fight accept me.

The next morning, she woke up early to talk to the captain to see if she could fight “No, fighting is not for girls” said the captain.

Once, there was a 18 year old. She lived in Greenwich- London, she lived with her parents who are of them called Anna and Adam .She also lives with her Brother who was called Jamie.

She was Spanish but she didn’t have a Spanish accent like her parents and Brother. Her best friend was a girl called Elizabeth [who was also 18].They were best friends because they had known each other since they were 2. They had known each other since they were 2 because Alice was 2 when she moved to great England.

One week later, Alice decided she wanted to join the Navy. It only took her 1 hour to make her parents let her join it. She was delighted when Anna and Adam told her this fantastic news.

1 month later, on her 19th birthday Alice joined the navy. She only got in the Navy because she dressed up as her Brother Jamie. She became Vice Admiral Alice. [Basically Nelsons helper]. Elizabeth was a cook on H.M.S VICTORY.

The boat she sailed on was called H.M.S VICTORY. It had 5 big sales that were 500 metres tall. Alice said to herself “Wow, when Nelson dies I will be in charge of 27 big boats like this . One is even bigger, I think that one is called PRINCE!” There are around 1000 people on each English ship.

The best thing that Alice did on board was play chess. When they did play chess it was very cramped because there was up to 5 people on each team. When Elizabeth had finished making dinner she came down to sit next to Alice.

It is the day of the battle of Trafalgar today and it is obviously hard for me because I am Vice Admiral and people kept coming up to me and saying “I have done this so what shall I do now.” I just said to them “Carry on fighting because when the Captain has parked the boat I will also be fighting.”

When Alice was actually fighting she was really happy because every second, minuet, hour and day Nelson was by her side. It was very hard to move around because I was wearing the same clothes as Nelson. They were really heavy. Sadly on the day Nelson died. Alice got injured but she didn’t die, so she said “Bye” to her vice admiral job and “Hello” to her Admiral job!

Alice’s role on the day was good because she done her usual job with Nelson by her side even when he needed to go to the loo. Like I said, on the day Nelson sadly passed away and when Elizabeth’s Mum and Dad heard the news they thought, Alice is now the proper Admiral, so Elizabeth can be vice admiral!

Her parents then said this is wonderful news to Alice and she accepted this job was absolutely amazing with Nelson but even better with Elizabeth.

Her life after the navy was quite sad because her Anna and Adam had passed away but she had 2 adorable children called Maddie and Bobby. They both had blue eyes but Maddie had blonde hair and Bobby had brown hair. She thought her life after the navy would have been sad and lonely but luckily she had Elizabeth, Jamie, Maddie, Bobby and all of the other people that she knew to keep her company.

A very long time ago, there lived a rich girl called Jasmine she was 15 years old she had 4 brothers and 3 sisters she has a step mum and dad she also lives in America. 2 years later she joined the Navy when she was 17. In her spare time she ate food such as egg, tea, tomato, crumbs, bread, grog and dried biscuit you actually eat them for your diet. When she was in the ship she worked as a medic but she didn’t get enough food so that when she sleeps in her hammock she wakes up and tries to get extra food but the captain is always angry.

It’s always crazy on the ship people fight so much such as cannons shooting in peoples head, people stabbing knives in their heart ( they are then definitely dead ), mostly everybody shoots people in the forehead but she had to try and take the bullet out of their head . She sometimes had to do injections for people if they have a virus of something.

She really couldn’t believe that she survived in the battle she now knows what its like to be on a ship. So she went to work as a vet.  She really wanted to keep a pet but couldn’t get one when she finished her first day at work she had 2 weeks of so she had a flight to America to see her step family and everything to them about what happened everything was amazing.

When we finished the battle other people took Nelson to the surgeon I done some food for Nelson when I finished I gave the food to him.

Then I had to go home to my family. But I was sad for Nelson because he died after he didn’t have an arm. When I got to my house they told me that the chiuawa was going to have babies. While I was seeing the chiuauawas I hugged my mum, dad, baby sister, baby brother and the chiuawa that had babies. After we called the chiuawas Pepper, Sasha and Max. Then I went to see the cat and she was also having babies we called the baby Gigget. Then my mum and dad said that they had a surprise for me it was a hamster.

Far far away, there was a boy called Dick, he wanted to join the Navy. He had black hair, white shorts, blue jacket, white stripy black shoes. He has one mum, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. He lives near the beach. He is 12 year old. 3 year later.

His 15 year old, his mum let him join the Navy. His job was a sailor. His ship name was fireball he liked the name.

In his spare time on the ship, he relaxed by listening to the sea and righting in his diary what happened on that day.

What he does as a sailor is climbing up high or working hard on the deck.

The battle came quick, he was still on the crows nest. The rope to clime down. So he had to jump down. He jumped on the enemy he was happy that he killed at least one of the enemy’s he said “yesssssssssss”. He had something on his arm he called the surgeon “its just a little cut on your arm” said the surgeon.

One day later, he was climbing up the crows nest he saw a mountain in the sea Dick shouted “we are in DANGER !” they bumped into the mountain and bumped his head, but it was not fine. He just had a little bruis .

They all went back home. When he got home he hugged his mum, Dick said “I’m never ever joining Navy agen!”(Because he didn`t want to fight agen) but he still like to splash in the sea. Dick became normal like he was. That was a lesson for him, that live can be harder for others.

My best friend is called Osvaldo. I joined the navy when I was 16. I was born in 1780.

On board the next day, I ate my food and stuff like that. I am a marine because I am brave, and It’s also my favourite thing I love it. I fighted in some wars as well.

Yesterday, my life on board was very good, I sometimes got sick on board.  I heard story’s they were really scary! I had to keep order and look for any ships, It was very hard but okay at the same time.

The day of the battle was incredibly hard! They hit are ship I nearly died, we were against Napoleon we defeated him in 4 hours! Admiral Nelson in the war I was surprised.

My role on the day was, very hard because there was canons every where. I had to keep order, even when they where shouting. One got really close to me we fighted for one hour. It was really hard to fight him, he was a talented warrior.

Life after the navy was way calm, I had a wife called Mia. I had some children I met my family and we had a good time together.

On the day of the battle of Trafalgar we kept on shooting bombs and guns. Nelson got saved because I pushed him off of that position because then he would of died. I was really scared because the battle was still going and the other team was shooting bombs and loads of gun bullets to our ship.

When I went to get the bombs there was a sailor pointing a gun at me and I thought that he was pretending to be in our team but he was actually in the other team but I threw the bomb on his head for me not to die and he die, I told Nelson about that and he was really disappointed. We continued fighting the other team got little boats and 20 people would go on them and there would be 2 boats or more one of the boats got on our ship but we killed them.

When the battle was finished only 40 men and 10 women died, we were really sad because they were really nice to us, Nelson or I didn’t die and we won, we were so happy for winning.
