The Adventures of Joey and Alex

Strandtown Primary School, Y4
9th March 2022

In a faraway land there was a giraffe called Joey and he lived very happily. He was not just any old giraffe. He had wings and could fly! Whenever the other giraffes were mean to him his friend, Alex, helped him by shooting stink bomb darts at them. Alex was a very nice snake. He always stuck up for Joey. He shot stink darts into their mouths and they got stinky gas down their throat. 

‘I’m so excited to go to the Olympics. I want to win!’ said Joey. 

‘I hope you win in the Olympics today,’ said Alex.

‘Thanks for being supportive, Alex, but I don’t want anyone to bully me in the Olympics.’

‘Just ignore the bullies, because they’re just being mean. You’re unique!’ 

He forgot his trunk for leaving on the aeroplane and he had to go back twenty miles to get it. Joey didn’t feel like himself and wasn’t really in the right mood for going back. He was in the middle of his plane ride. They had to turn the plane around!

When he got to the Olympics he decided which sports he wanted to do. He chose swimming and gymnastics.

Someone was trying to stop Joey from competing. He could see them poking their head round the door. 

‘I need to stop them. Maybe I can get my friend to come and help me,’ thought Joey. 

He remembered that his friend, Alex, had encouraged him to just forget about the bullies so he tried to ignore what they were saying but he couldn’t stop thinking about it. 

Suddenly, out of the shadows burst a person with fifty cans of beans in their hands…
