A mythical storm blew up - BANG! The lightning grew stronger; the thunder grew louder. In the misty darkness, a dark blue figure stopped with a key half hanging out of its mouth.
It looked like it was sending a message, it was just sitting on the modern clock, and it looked like a dinner clock. It was just lying in a pile of leaves.

Be prepared to be terrified! Or at least impressed with our story telling and camera angles. Chestnut Class have been learning to be more precise in their language when describing characters and settings. We have used the Write Brothers unit of work, which they developed in collaboration with the Literacy Shed, to discover how to do this better. We have focused on the use of 'show not tell' to build tension and create a stronger atmosphere. We took our writing skills and created a short trailer using iMovie. As well as being great fun; it helped us understand how to structure a story.Please comment if you enjoy our trailers.
As the coach started I knew this would be where the fun started even though we had a six hour journey ahead, eventually the land scape started to change, we were there, and everyone loudly cheered “We’re there!” That was where it all started. We saw our 3 instructors, Allister, Ross and George.
Then we all excitedly stormed off the coach finding our instruction to be greeted, my instructor was Allister. (He’s my favourite) The teachers told us we had 15 minutes to put our bags away and sort out all of our stuff. To everyone’s surprise we didn’t have to put our tents up, although my tent had mattresses in our tent, my tent was tent 3, the people in it were me, Oscar, Jayden, Toby, and Gabriel. The next thing we knew teachers were telling us that it’s time to do our first activity, it was the local fell it was about a 2 mile walk up the fell although some people didn’t like it, when we reached the top the views was probably worth the walk. The king swing The kingswing was my favourite one, because at first when you started to be lifted by the rest of your team, the most nervous bit is when you are thinking about having to pull the leaver to release yourself, WOOSH I suddenly swung along with the rope, even though sometimes when you’re afraid you just have to do it anyway because. In the end it turns out to be really fun well at least some times. |
