Week 4 100wc Prompt
Posted onThe 100wc Team says:
For the prompt this week, I thought we would do something a little different. Rather than having part of a sentence or some individual words we have a theme. You can take it anywhere you want to! it is:
LAUGHTER
You could tell your readers what makes you laugh or how you feel when you laugh. you might like to recount a funny story to make your readers laugh. Bring tears to our eyes!
Remember to:
- Re read your prompt to make sure it makes sense!
- Revise – by changing some words around, adding more descriptive and interesting words.
- Edit- Check and double check your spelling and punctuation. Remember capital letters for names and beginning of sentences. Think about your end of sentence punctuation mark, is it a question, an exclamation showing strong feeling or a full stop?
- Then find a partner to read your story and make any changes you think would work after hearing your partner’s feedback.
- ENJOY WRITING YOUR HILARIOUS YOUR STORY!
Iris’s 100wc Week 3
Posted onSuddenly all the lights went out!!!…
One day, I was at home with my brother Odhinn and my dad,
There was a huge storm brewing and it was getting really really scary for me.
Then the storm came right in and there was lots of thunder and lightning!
THEN SUDDENLY ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo scared, because I could not see anything at all!
Then the lights went back on and Odhinn and dad were nowhere to be seen!
I ran upstairs and looked everywhere, but I could not find them anywhere upstairs.
So I looked downstairs…….

Posted onI was riding my bike when all the street lights went out. I peddled so fast that I could not even feel my legs moving. I went home as fast as I could. When I got home I looked to see if my mum and dad were in their room, But they were not home. I heard footsteps inside the house I walked towards the footsteps and phew it was just my mum and dad looking around for me with a candle. Mum and dad both said where were you. I was just riding my bike I only just came.

#Like A Girl
Posted onToday we discussed the phrase ‘ like a girl’ we talked about whether it was mostly used as a positive or a negative statement.
Then we watched this video and discussed again whether the statement was something we should be saying and what it means when we say it. We also talked about what it’s really saying about our mums, sisters and female friends when we hear people saying ‘like a girl’.
Watch the video below and tell us in the comments section what you think about the phrase ‘Like a Girl’.

Posted onBrodie’s Wk 3 10wc
Posted onBang! Suddenly there was a terrifying lighting strike. The lights blew out. I heard chains rattle and ghostly moans. I felt a bit scared at the moment so I ran to my room with an oil lamp and locked my door. After about 20 minutes the power turned on but the lights didn’t. I ran into my mum and dad’s room but they were asleep so I ran to Brenton’s house like a little girl. When I got there he was dead. All there was his skeleton. I thought for a second did the ghost do this?

Posted onLast week we were writing about noise. This week we are using sight. The prompt is:
…suddenly all the lights went out…
Questions to ask:
- Where are you?

Posted onThe noise was so loud it sound like a lightning strike hit right in the middle of the house. There was a big storm right where I live. It all most gave me a hard attack. It was at the middle of the night no one was a wake. I went to wake my parents up, but when I got to there room they weren’t there. I was super scared now. So I went outside to see where were they weren’t so I turned around and there was a giant wave. It was a dream.

The Noise was so loud it was like lighting had struck straight in front of me.

I started sweating the power must of gown out. I went and told my mum and dad. I said to them that the power was out. They said to go back to bed so I back and couldn’t go to sleep ever.

Posted on…..The noise was SO loud….
One day there was a LOUD BANG.
The bang came from outside of my house.
I looked out of my bedroom window and I saw 2 cars have had a crash!
I called an ambulance, police and the fire service because one of the cars had come up in flames. I stayed right back so that I did not get hurt. I heard the sirens and I was super relleived until I found out that someone had burns.
That person came to my house to say thank you.
I said that it was no problem.
