LIGHTNING WRITING!!!!!

 

This morning we did Lightning Writing. It is so fun! Miss Rait put three photos up on the screen, then we had one minute, three minutes and five minutes to write about each one.

These are some of our stories from the picture prompts below.

Jessica  F, 3mins

The slimy snake wraps around my leg. Its coils slips across my body,

eating my leg's strength, so I can't do anything. My legs are numb as 

the torture has begun, I can't move, I'm stuck. Oh no.

Finley, 1min

A little boy at a cafe is eating a delicious strawberry sundae with a waffle on top.

Finn, 5mins

As I ran through the deserted forest, sweat glistening down my face, I took a quick glance behind. The growling was coming closer. Diving into the bush I raise a pocket knife, hoping to catch the beast out. A dark shape emerges in front of me, its fangs drop down to its chin, its bloodshot eyes reveal years of starvation. I slowly walk past. I hear the growl go fainter. I poke my head out of the undergrowth. I freeze. There it is looking straight at me, pocket knife still in hand, my only weapon.

Using Google Docs for Inquiry

Getting taught new ways to use technology.

Miss Rait is teaching us how to use Google Drive on the I pads and laptops. We will be able to share our work with others, automatically save, and our teachers can see exactly what we are working on. We are the first people at St Martins to experiment with this, 98StrongStreet are ground breakers!
