Molly & Isaac's Live Writing work!

Molly and Isaac took part in a Live Writing session this evening, working with children from Maple Class, Brunswick House Primary School and Highlawn Primary School (amongst others!). A huge thanks to Mrs Brayford for hosting the session! There was a prompt based on soldiers preparing to fight in World War One. You can look at the whole session here.

Here is Molly's stunning piece of  writing:
I could feel the mustyness of the wet trench tickling my nose. "All ready boys? Were going in..." I knew there was not turning back now... A sudden sudder shot straight up my weak spine, this was a matter of life or death... Suddenly a deathening boom shook the muddy trench, "Thats the sound of war boys.." Then I knew it was time.... " Over you go boys, its time to face the enemies." I shuddered in the freezing cold, knowing that I would soon lie on my death bed. The world kept on turning around me, I couldn't keep my balance. Before I knew it I was on the floor pouring blood. I dragged myself along the bloody battlefield, realising that my live was dangerously at risk. The floor shook violently as the terrific bombs exploded in the distance. I knew this was the end. Soon most of my team mate were lieing on the bloody battlefields with me, but some were still hanging on to there dear lives. Screams rattle my ears as was slowly dieing in pain and anger, I knew we were going to lose this dreaded war. Another bulit stuck me in the chest, I tried to scream for help but I simply didn't have enough breath.

And here is Isaac's wonderful piece:
I stood like a statue behind the only tree in miles. Suddenly flashes of light came past me, it was a bullet. I quickly got my heavily amoured machine gun out and started firing back, with my men all around me doing exactly the same. Many people were falling and dying, shouting out their last words at the same time. I could see a frightening Panzer tank charging over the hill. Steadily and slowly, its massive cannon was making its way around to shoot us. Was I going to die? Thankfully, one of my crew had brought a Sherman along to this attack. The Sherman happily (and luckily) fired directly at the Panzer and blew it up immediately! Our men quickly moved foward, we now had this one in the bag! With many people dead, we had won the battle at No Man's Land.

I'm hugely proud of the work both of you produced - well done!

  2. The Live writing session was really busy and manic, but I still really enjoyed it! At first we heard a short explaination, and then we had to think of words that came into our heads. After that we had to use thoughs thoughts and put them into sentnces. There was loads of good ones! And then we just bulit up a short story! AND THE NIGHT ZOO KEEPER WAS ON THERE LOOKING AT OUR WORK!

    Hi Molly,

    Wow, your writing truly is amazing. I love how you have created a picture in my mind of the battle field. You have also used a multi-sensory approach, which is fantastic. 'The floor shook violently as the terrific bombs exploded in the distance'.

    I would like to read more about this character, perhaps you could write the story of how he found himself on the battle field that day.

    Keep up the great work,

    Hi Isaac,

    The beginning of this piece of writing is marvellous. They way you describe the soldier standing behind the 'only tree in miles' creates a desolate image of destruction. I also love the technical vocabulary you have included in this piece,such as 'no man's land'. Can you describe to your readers what this means?

    I look forward to reading your 1000 word challenge this week.
