100WC #05

The prompt this week is:

Describe your most treasured item without actually giving what it is away. 

Things to think about:

• Why is it so precious to you?
• Who gave it to you or how did you come to have it?
• As you cannot say its name, use lots of adjectives and descriptions.

100 Word Challenge

Since the start of term we have been once again encouraging the children to take part in the 100 Word Challenge activity run by 100wc.net 

Each week, a new prompt is published and the challenge is to write 100 words using the prompt (which may be a picture, a selection of words or a phrase). Each week we choose some of the work produced by our children to publish on our own 100WC blog and forward them for viewing by Team100WC. Team100WC view work produced by children from all over the world and they nominate work to be included in the weekly Special Showcase.

This week Lexi became our first writer to be included in the Special Showcase this year for her story: The professor and the crocodile.
