Stories written about the artwork
John Constable
Harwich Lighthouse 1776-1837
  It was a windy day i was walking along the road beside the beach. I walk past the windmill which was supposed to be haunted but i do not believe that! All the boats were out i was heading home from school and i noticed some thing wrong the sand was disapearing but why? so i decided to investigate so i did after tea i walk along the road and took the path for the beach but the sand was black.

I called mike, gavin, dale and all my other freinds.I told them what had happend there were fourteen of us.So we spit up in to two groups one to investigate why the sand was disapearing and my group to investigate the colour. Me and mike both have a kit to take test samples. Mike is in the other group so that is ok.

My group headed east and the other west we took a samples of the sand and found out that the sand was black because of oil and the other group found out that people had been diging up the sand for the new building site down the road. I called the police and the police arrested the men and replaced the sand and the same men for the oil.

THE END
