This week at writing time we wrote stories about a haunted house.  We were very excited about this because it was the pupils’ idea.  We had to remember our writing target  ‘use a variety of sentence openers’ when we were writing.

Geordie – My favourite sentence opener was ‘It was a dark and stormy night’.

Geordie also made his writing more exciting by beginning sentences with the words ‘Suddenly’ and ‘Immediately’ :).

Josh – I recorded my story on the iPad.  I liked doing it this way because it was more fun and I could get all my ideas out before I forgot them.

Cary’s story was called ‘Ghostbuster Mansion’. He had a big group of characters including most of his classmates! His story has zombies as well as ghosts in it. Cary is still working on his story. We hope it has a happy ending!

Our Star Writer this week was Callum. His story was titled ‘Callum’s Spooky Day’. He was  the main character in his story which was also set in a mansion. The mansion had lots of rooms, even a computer room and a science room. Oh and it had a ghost too!

Other news this week:

Geordie – I went to my integration school Westfield Primary early this week so I could go out at playtime.  I really liked it because I got to play with my friends.  I would like to go for playtime again next week.
