Amazing writing from Ella!  This was based on the suspense story writing task from Purple Mash.

I looked around unknown to who would be there holding me hostage. They were taking me to a camp but who? Was it a German, was it Oater,was it Hitler himself? Questions flooded over me ​but eventually after about half an hour they came to a sudden stop. They dropped me and a rush of relief came over me as i saw a familiar face before my eyes." OATER im so relieved it's you! Where are we though?"

" Yes it's me. Where have you been this whole night? Anyway, this is our new camp this is where we will come at night."

"I was sleeping behind a tree where i landed like you said."

We ventured into the large wooden building. It was filled with beds and soldiers, some wounded some not. " Hi" I whispered,"I'm Kat"

Creative poetry from Reece!  This was based on the Purple Mash task linked to the story 'A Bridge on Fire'.

JUMP!

The plane was getting higher and higher​

I had no idea of what to do

My blood was pumping as my parachute was getting tighter

I looked down and had a query what should i do

Should I say no or should a be a fighter 

I will actually be a fighter

It was time to jump

I was biting my nails in a huge amount of nerve

I looked at Oater and the doors opened and i jumped

I pulled my parachute near the bottom and landed

WOW what an experience

I was free-falling finally

I felt a rollercoaster of emotions

Anxious, nervous, worried I couldn't pick

My fingers my toes even my face was numb

Until i felt a breeze of relief

I pulled my parachute and landed

That was unreal

My face felt like it was everywhere 

I walked into the woods thinking I just did that

My legs were like jelly

I am so glad I did that jump

A brilliant use of rhyme in Esme's poem! 

Jump!

I sat on the very edge of the plane

Knowing my life would never be the same

I looked down to the forest below

And then I knew I had to go

I took a deep breath with all my might

Hoping the Germans would not put up a fight

What on earth would happen to me

If when I landed I couldn't see

The plane coming to pick me up

The thought just made me panick struck

I hoped that I would not fall with a thump 

321 time to jump

​

As I fell, I put my hands like a cup

And pulled to make the parachute go up

It worked and I knew I was good

I landed gently with a thud

I was on the ground, safe at last

Laughing at my worried past

I shouldn't have worried about going thump

Now I know you just have to JUMP!!!
