Writing Prompt

Here is a story Irene wrote using the picture prompt below.

On a beautiful day I decided to go for a walk with my family. While me and my family walked along the path we saw heaps and heaps of rubbish on the floor, so we went over to it and went to put it in the right bin. Before we started to pick up the rubbish, we could smell something horrible and that was the dirty rubbish bin. 

The reason why it was smelly was because there was food that was wasted and got old and made the horrible smell. I heard two birds singing together on the tree with their nest waiting for their babies hatch. When we went to pick up the rubbish, we saw food on them that was gooey. Then I said that I didn’t want to pick up more rubbish because it was too yucky for me and I didn’t like it.

But then my mum said to me “oh come on you can wash your hands when we get home”. Then I said to my mum “ you are right”. So I started to pick up as much rubbish as I could to make the park clean. When me and my family were done, we went out of the park and looked back and was proud of ourselves for cleaning the park for the kids. Then we went home proud and happy. 

I hope you enjoyed my story. When you see rubbish on the ground please pick it up and put it in the right rubbish bin.

Picture prompt writing

Well done Mele for using a picture prompt and sentence start to create a story.

Here is what she wrote:

Thump! He slammed  his enormous, grass-covered foot into the middle of the road, sending dust in all directions.The giant monster carefully put back the roof down and he felt lonely and sad because he just wanted to play with someone but they thought that he was a strange monster. But then a little boy came to the monster and said “are you alright” and the monster replied “no, I am not alright, I am looking for a friend to help me fix my boat's engine for the monster's boat race tomorrow". "Oh I can help you", said the little boy but only if I can come and watch your boat race. The giant agreed.

Picture Prompt Writing by Irene

Well done to Irene who finished her story based on a picture prompt. Here is what she wrote:

One day there was a giant who lived on the mountains. The next day he was so bored looking at trees and rivers, all he wanted was to have something to play with. So he climbed a very tall tree and saw a boat on the ocean. He climbed down and ran as fast as he could to get that boat. When he got to the ocean, he walked to the boat and just grabbed it. He didn’t even care about the people trying to swim to land.

When he grabbed the boat he went to a city that was right next to the ocean. He then opened a roof from someone's house and looked through it. All the people that were on the ground were screaming and running away from the giant because they thought that he was there to eat them. The person on the ground in the blue van was so scared to be stomped on that he went crazy and needed to calm down before he could drive probably.

When he finished looking into the houses, he got bored again and went to have fun playing on the mountain with his new boat. The people that ran away came back and saw that the giant was gone. Then they were happy because they did not get eaten by the giant.

I hope you enjoyed my story about a giant who lived on a mountain.
