Livewriting Session One

We took part in this year's first livewriting session today.  We were using the story of The Black Hat by Maia Walczak. We watched the video of the story without sound and wrote from the viewpoint of the boy. Have a look at our book. Follow the link inside the book to see the video. We wrote only part of the story and you can read them here. What do you think of our stories?

LaurenY's 100 Word Challenge Week 2

Hi,

You have just entered the brilliant but boring world of Ally Love!

I’ve got this new boyfriend you see his name is Lewis. My parents don’t approve of him. Anyway moving on from that, but just before we do he’s got blue eyes a great smile white teeth. Sorry sorry I get in a daydream when ever I talk about him. We were just sitting down to dinner when Mum and Dad announced they were getting a divorce form that day my world started to fall apart almost every day witch I HATE! 

Karis's 100 Word Challenge Week 2

One day we were just sitting down for dinner when there was a knock at the door. I couldn’t work out who it was knocking at my door so to be safe, I quietly tiptoed to the front door and slid my head through Moggie’s cat flap and noticed a small package in brown paper and tied up with string. It was for ME! I opened the tiny parcel and it was the most extraordinary thing any one could ever discover. It was… the worlds smelliest, stinkiest and horriblest cheese in the world. “HORRAY! The gloriest, greatest, most amazing CHEESE!”

Isaac's 100 Word Challenge Week 2

It was the night when Aunt Mary and Uncle Colin were stopping. Before they arrived, we were just sitting down for dinner when the phone rang. It was Aunt Mary saying that they were involved in a large car crash, so could not make it. “Bring Bring” the phone rang again. It was an unknown number. The message read: “Hand over your Corgi, or never see your baby again.” They replied with the answer of, “Take the baby.” The baby disappeared out of the air. 

Molly's 100 Word Challenge- Week 2

We were just sitting down for dinner when the doorbell rang. It was another trick-or-treater, I gave them their sweets and lumbered back to the dinner table, frustrated. I just couldn't wait any longer, "Mum, whens Ben coming?" I whined.
 "Soon.." Mum replied. The doorbell rang again, "It must be him this time!" I rushed to the door exited. "BOO!" yelled Ben.
"Finally, your here!" I exclaimed. We ran into the back yard, tring to avoid all the spiders and cobwebs. I tripped, fell to the clod damp ground. I lay there for a few minutes, listening to a laugh...

Then I realised it was Chuckles the Clown......

My visit to Olympia - by Ella

Olympia

On our holiday to Zakynthos we went on a day trip to Olympia. It was hot in zakynthos but even hotter in Olympia, in fact scorching.

The museum was great it had aircon! It was also full of things found on the site, from tiny statues of animals & helmets up to massive statues that were once on top of buildings. We also saw the  helmet worn by the man who ran to tell the Greeks of a victory in battle, the first marathon.

Olympia itself was all ruins mainly because of the earthquake years ago. There were many temples honouring the Gods especially Zeus who was the god of gods.

 We saw where the athelets trained & had a bath, they must have been quite small because the baths were tiny.

On the way to the arena they had life sized statues of past winners on one side but statues of the cheaters on the other, they would be “shamed for etertnity”

They didn’t run around a track but up & down a straight track, the start line was a long block of marble. Me & my mum had a go at running it but it was so hot we had a walk instead!

That’s Olympia!

Mya's 100 Word Challenge Week 1

Looking behind me, I saw my friend flapping her wings. We’ve lost him. Great .We kept looking forwards and flapping our wings. We flew into the forest and made a den from logs, twigs and leaves.

“He’s here.” A gravelly voice said from behind me.

“What?” I asked. In my mind questions whirred around my head.

“He’s here.”

“WHO?” I was getting frustrated now. I threw myself round to see who was there, no-one. I turned again nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
