The Invasion

WALT: I am learning to write descriptive stories. Many years ago, when I was just a small boy, we found a mysterious object washed up on the beach. It was a sort of silver-grey colour, and looked like a finger, only much, much larger. My friends and I had huddled together on the beach around the thing, holding our hands up to our faces to shield our eyes from the dazzling sun, talking excitedly about what it could be. Some hours later, after we had all made up wild stories about the origin of our new toy, we dragged the colossal item that was the size of our dining table up to the village. As we made our way slowly over the sand dunes, and the long, wispy grass that marked the end of the beach and the start of the fields, a crowd seemed to be gathering.

WALT we are learning to right descriptive pieces of writing: The split: Story Starter - A descriptive writing / a moment in time. She had been standing there for hours, surrounded by ice. As the sun peeped its head over the distant mountains on the horizon, an orange and yellow hue filled the sky. The warmth of the sun was a gesture of kindness to her frozen hands, which she clasped together in front of her trembling body. It was then that she heard it… Crack! It was as if the world in front of her was breaking in two… Then and there she could see the Ice cracking, breaking, snapping like a cookie. Then a black crater opened and started sucking all the water into its colossal mouth. ARGHHHH the girl screamed. It started sucking her in ARGHHHH she screamed again there was no way she was getting out of this alive or so she thought as she whole up she could she herself floating or drifting through space and time itself she was scared but not scared it was weird but she didn...
