Recently the whole school have had the opportunity to get in
with creative writing. Pupils of all years either chose their own topic to
write about or to write a story about an Earthquake. The results were
outstanding, the imagination of the pupils is clear from the examples of work
shown in this following post.
Make sure you give the stories a read! You will be impressed!
One pupil wrote a story containing targets to include a
visual description of the character that is a famous author, but it starts to
take over his life personally and professionally. Chapter 1 engages us into the mind of the
writer, and how she is feeling. ‘it’s taking over her life…’ ‘its getting TOO
much..’ the fact that KS3 are able to refine the feelings of another character
is a massive boost to knowing that they are aware of emotions.
Chapter 2 takes us through one day that she decided not to
write but ends up receiving an unexpected call from a publishing agency stating
that there are to be 5 new books… what happens next is for you to have a read
and find out more. However don’t be shocked if there is a cliff-hanger!
Another Story written by a KS4 pupil, Alfie completed a story in
after school club! Now that takes dedication and commitment to join an after
school club that consists of long writing!! Something which our Pupils do tend to
find a little intimidating at first. Furthermore with the guidance of the
English department the pupils have all had a part in creating a story.
Alfie’s story is about a Hero Association and the day which
is different from all the other days. With using the vocabulary given by
teacher and one punctuation target, this story is filled with all sorts of
adventure and mischief! Take a moment to read about the hero and a rampaging
monster through the Z-city!
Year 9 pupil created a story about ‘The unexpected
Earthquake’ with a beautiful start to the story with a rescue you wouldn’t
expect so many of.
Thank you for giving these a read! Expect more wonderful and creative writing at The Polygon School!
