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!”
