100 WC Star of the Week!

Awesome piece of writing below - Olivia K is setting the standard!

The overpowering blare of sirens deafened my already exhausted ears. As I drove up to the mysterious object, I was overpowered by a familiar smell as it wafted into my flared nostrils. I got a closer look. I was stunned. I couldn't believe it. It was an egg. In fact it was a giant egg. I slid on my over sized police jacket and trudged along to the huge, cocoa sphere. I was greeted by some lackadaisical, emotionless colleagues. My eyes intensively studied the problematic egg. I was suddenly brought to an abrupt stop. Even words couldn’t explain what I saw.

100 WC

For this week’s prompt, we have got another of those wonderful ‘LittlePeople’ photos from the talented Jane Hewitt. Do take a look at her amazing book ‘Learning Through a Lens’ for some more ideas of using photography in the classroom.

Before you start, you will have to make some decisions about what is real size and that will then influence your story! Make sure you really think imaginatively. Choose your 100 words carefully and make sure you pay some attention to your punctuation. Many of you have been taking part for a few months now so your writing will be getting better!

100 WC Week 5

For this week, the prompt if 5 words. They can be put anywhere in your writing and in any order but you must use them all. Please use your highlighting skills to help Team 100 see where you have used the words.

Week #31 100 WC

We were just at home, doing nothing. Then we heard screams of terror, The ones that say…… We’re gonna die!  Me and dad jumped onto our feet, with him pushing me to the door, I dove, spun around and saw a pile of my house.

I later found out that he was badly injured. But it was strange, a Giant bee hit our house!

There were news reporters and crime scene investigators rushing in wearing protective gear. I asked one man, may I find out how a bee that size got here? No! He growled. But that didn't stop me!
