100 word challenge - By Christian



Do you know why knights are so mysterious? They wear shimmering armour, but the horse wear dull clothes. Their jousting sticks are very sharp yet it’s uncommon for knights to get killed. The knights can see perfectly, however their helmets have tiny eye holes. The jousting sticks are massive, but the knights can lift them easily. It is very odd!


I think knights are absolutely amazing! Don’t you think that? I can imagine being in a jousting match just about to win the prize for my kingdom. There would be thousands of fans happily cheering me on. I would love to be a brave knight!

Pickpocket book trailers

After writing our pickpocket stories we decided we would create a trailer for each of them.

We watched some book and film trailers and decided that our trailer needed to include these things:

  • a rhetorical question
  • a use of numbers
  • a range of punctuation including an ellipsis and exclamation mark


Please check out our trailers below and leave us a comment!

Slow writing about Epic Citadel

On Friday we used a technique called slow writing. This involved writing only 6 sentences about Epic Citadel. The sentences had to be written like this:

1. This sentence must start with 'Imagine' and end in an exclamation make.
2. This sentence must include a conjunction.
3. This sentence must start with an adverb.
4. The sentence must include a power of three adjectives to describe.
5. This sentence can only be seven words long.
6. This sentence must be a question.

We then recorded our six sentences using images from the app. Please have a listen and leave a comment!
