Quick Write

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooom there it was again. That noise. A scouring light sprawled
over the dark sky like a sheet on fire. I shivered and crouched lower, the wooden
beams of the mill cowering over my shivering body as though they were alive.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooom the loud screeching thunder rung in my ears. A slow
breeze cackled as it went through the shattered glass of the old mills window.
Once again a bright light filled the room glowing a deathly green. I hunched
down with my mouth hanging in mid air as if I had stopped breathing. I waited -
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooom. I clawed the ground and waited. By now I guessed that
the lightning was about 6 kilometres away. Outside the lightning tore at the ground
glowing up the cloudless sky. A minute went by ………    ……. a line.. a straight line
of light flung itself onto the small mill. Fizz fizz fizz, what was that. A glow filled the
room this time red……… ……… it was fire!!! Another streak of lightning whizzed
into the room my mouth froze. My body froze. The dark night was illuminated with a
green deathly glow. I screamed and screamed and screamed. My hair flew into a fire I
screamed as I rushed over to the stream near the mill. I dunked my head Into the water
staring in awe at the dark cloudless sky getting filled with lightning as though it was water.

Reading Tasks 2019


Throughout the last few weeks in Room 1
 we have been doing reading tasks about a certain story.
This week we have been asked to make a reflection.

I read the story "Giving it a Shot" In my opinion the story didn't make much sense really because all it was was Lauren and her dad arguing about whether Lauren should be a shot putter or a runner because Lauren had came third in the running race but her dad said she could have came first.  I think that her dad wanted Lauren to be a runner because maybe he had been a runner when he was a kid. Also when Lauren finally gave in she didn't seem any happier.
The pictures for the story looked like bits of magazines glued together to make a deformed face.
