Child B received 7 out of 12 for composition and effect for the following:
Have you ever heard of Pip Davenport? Pip Davenport is the reason we enjoy the fairground today. On the 4th of January he was born, living in a small terraced house in Slewsbury.
It just so happened that the Davenport family owned a funfair. He and his uncle Henry went every day since he was a toddler. Pip loved it there: he would rather come to the fair than go out with his friends.
When Pip was four, he and his family went to watch a horse race. He asked his mother afterwards if he could go horse riding, and she agreed. Quickly, it became apparent that Pip was a fantastic rider: a complete natural. But it was his love of horses that led to a tragic accident. An accident that would change his life forever. At the age of 7, he was training for a local competition when his horse, Mandy, swerved sideways unexpectedly throwing Pip on to the ground, paralysed.
Distraught, Pip decided to design a fairground ride involving horses. He named it a carousel. After many years, the ride was finally made. Pip, plucking up the courage, showed it to his Uncle Henry. Impressed, he asked Pip if he could use it in his fairground. Pip said yes, and he was amazed to see that his creative invention was a huge success. Despite being in a wheelchair, he continued his education at night school, spending most of the day at the fair and designing new inventions for the fair.
By the time he was 25, Pip, who had never considered women before, fell in love with a lady called Hettie. Hettie was a kind woman and also had a shared interest in the fairground.
