Holiday Snap Shot Stories

Click on the comments below to see our fabulous Holiday Snap Shot Stories. Student's work will be published as it is completed.

We are learning to write about a short space of time.

We will know we can do this when:
- we have written about no more than seven minutes of a personal experience
- included adjectives to describe feelings, tastes, smells and what we see
- described our thoughts and emotions.

  1. It gazed at me with it's dark, evil eyes. It looked like it had crashed on Earth from Mars. I slowly put it in my mouth, wondering what it would do to me. i bit into it slowly. Then a gooey, sour, lava oozed slowly into my mouth.

    It was like there was a small, mad, acid-like volcano erupting on my poor tortured taste buds. I desperately crawled on the floor with small tears in my eyes. I was coughing. I was spluttering trying to hold myself together. But suddenly it all stopped. I got up, brushed myself off and smiled. I had engulfed the gooey sour lava out of the angry... DESTROYER!

  2. I spinned around for just one tinsy second. Waves crashed quickly up against my feet. I was frightened and scared with fear. The water was freezing cold at a super low temperature. My hands fell straight back and hit the sharp pointy rocks. My hands and feet slipping like crazy. It felt like mad dogs trying to get off a chain backwards and forwards. The waves were banging loudly against each other so noisily like thunder. BIG, BANG, BOOM, BIG, BANG, BOOM.

    I slowly stood up. Shocked, shaking and shivering. I could taste the yuck salt water. I was so, so, so wet. I fell back onto my bum to see a massive wave quickly coming straight towards me. I instantly dived out of the way. I landed on some wet rocks. I was soaking wet, freezing cold and needed a hot bath immediately.

  3. My yummy chocolate sauce melted around my mouth. I was extremely excited with what I had made. I loved my sweet sauce I made wit my nana. I had no idea if I could make it or not. I was thinking of Master Chef when they make amazing meals on t.v. I was scared that it would be yuck after I'd spent a long time on my chocolate sauce.

    The sauce was going down my mouth with sweetness. Nana and I made a perfect dish and did everything we were supposed to do.

  6. The purple jet of light exploded from my wand tip sending the Snatcher soaring to the stars with blinding speed. I prepared for the next wave. As soon as I spotted him I shouted "Stupefy," and with stunning accuracy the spell merged with his face. Annoyingly! Every time one vanquished another took their place. Quite suddenly a sound like a machine gun ripped through the air irritating me more than the enemies. Enraged I shouted, "Confringo," directing the explosive beam towards the red specs coming from behind the rock causing the attacker to somersault away. I had prepared to cast a protective charm. It was only then I realised I had beaten the challenge!! I felt this was my greatest achievement in the game so far.

    Great snapshot writing Room 5. Joe has just told me what a Destroyer is, I was very confused?! I agree with Angus, Michael,your writing did make me fell as though I was there. I loved your descriptive sentence comparing your movements to mad dogs trying to get off a chain, Katie. That's just what it can be like in the sea. Jake, the way you wrote about the chocolate sauce makes me a bit hungry for some, you do know that teacher aides like chocolate sauce too? :)
