  1. Brave Roland has come from the queen’s Palace. The story is set in the front garden when lady Ellen and the two brothers are playing ball. And then lady Ellen goes missing while trying to find the ball.

    This land is a mysterious place ruled by the Queen. Brave Roland is the hero (you can tell by his name Brave Roland). Lady Ellen’s two brothers went to search for her and the missing ball. As Brave Roland goes to the queens palace to ask and search for lady Ellen.

  2. Brave Roland’s kingdom is a phenomenal place to be in it’s a place full of wonder and adventure. The courtyard is a whopping size of 70m long and 35m wide and the castle is almost as big a Blue Whale and the villagers live in huts 5-9 meters in area.

  3. Lady Ellen, Brave Roland and his two brothers playing near the church:
    The background was a church which had a ball on top of it which Lady Ellen threw on top of it.
    The land looked sunny with trees which bright green leaves on them. The ground had a path with rubble on it, and the sides had bushes covered with flowers.
    Brave Roland at the queen’s/Mum’s palace: A bright wallpaper with scented flowers printed on it. A golden throne in the centre of the room with red cushions and studded diamonds on the headrest. Marble floors cold to the touch. Ceiling had paintings of the queen, daughter and sons having fun.
    Brave Roland on the way to Chief Warlock’s cottage: The cottage looked dark and misty. It looked like Chief Warlock was bad and mysterious but was not. The shrubbery was trodden on and not looked after. They wilted and looked brown and dead.
    Brave Roland in the Elf King’s Palace: It looked grey, dull and creepy like there was a ghost haunting it. Parts of the palace was broken and stones were on the floor. The inside looked just as bad with cobwebs and dust everywhere. The curtains had come off its rails, and mice were scurrying all over the place.
    Lady Ellen, Brave Roland and the two brothers walking back home: At first, in the Elf Land’s forest it was dark and wet. The plants were mouldy and if you tried to look for food and found some you would be poisoned to death. When they got to the normal forest it was brighter and luxurious. The plant and food were blooming and delicious.

    Brave Roland, Lady Ellen and the two brothers went out of the palace and started playing with a ball in the garden. Then the ball goes missing and Lady Ellen goes to grab the ball and Lady Ellen disapears. Brave Roland comes from the Palace.

    The land is weird which is ruled by the Queen. Brave Roland and Lady Ellen's two brothers searched for the missing ball and Lady Ellen as Brave Roland goes to the Palace to ask the Queen to search for Lady Ellen and the missing ball.

  5. Thick oak doors with sharp iron long pointy spikes concealed the magnificent rooms of the castle. Murky, deep water surrounds the colossal castle and unsteady, rickety, bridge which has crocodiles that can attack you from behind by the look on their faces. Shiny golden forts that protecting the gigantic castle. The Colossal castle has lots of crystal designs made in it .

  6. BRAVE ROLAND’S TOWN/COUNTRY

    Brave Roland’s town/country is called “Evergreen Land”. It is always very sunny. The grass is lush green and the skies are bright blue. The weather is warm and pleasant through-out the year. The meadows are full of flowers. The blossom on the trees makes the land colourful and beautiful. The bushes are all evergreen. The animals graze in the grass. Interestingly, some of the trees are pink. Most of the trees are shaped in hearts. The pavements are striped and nothing is black or grey. The sky is glittery. As far as you can see the sky is endless. At night time the sky turns dark pink. You can see jets and their long tails of water vapour. If you are on the fields you can see the sky meet the earth. The people in the Evergreen land love animal and nature. They treat each other with love and respect. They dwell in houses which are shaped like castles. There is happiness and peace everywhere.
