The Journey of her Grandma's Legacy

Seren Trott
Year 6 Blanchelande School

Many years ago a young girl named Alisia, loved her grandma dearly. Her grandma was a

famous fashion designer and for hours Alisia used to watch her making new clothing designs for her latest collections. Alisia even tried to make dresses for her dolls. She wasn't like her

siblings or cousins always wanting the latest toys or gadgets. All she wanted was to be with her

grandma, but one day, her grandma unexpectedly passed. After a few months her family met

up a t her late grandma's estate and the children were told they could pick out something to

remind them of their grandma. They all chose items that they thought were valuable, except

Alisia. She chose her favourite old locket, not realising it had a secret. When she cleaned it, it

opened with a glow. A voice then spoke, "follow the clues to your next destination and gather

the jigsaw pieces as you go". Then she spotted a jigsaw piece on the table, with a number on

it. When she picked it up, the voice spoke again and gave her a clue to find the next piece. Six

jigsaw pieces later, she realised the code must be to grandma's safe. She found the safe in the

wardrobe and carefully entered the code and the safe opened. Inside she found her grandma's

dress patterns including that of her famous hand crafted wedding dress. When Alisia grew up

she became a world famous fashion designer too, using her grandma's patterns for inspiration.

One day, when she was looking through the old faded patterns she found a letter. She

recognised her grandma's hand writing instantly, "Alisia you were destined to carry on my

legacy, you are not like your siblings or cousins, you never wanted anything, so I gave you it all!”
