100 Word Challenge

Posted bypennywigleyPosted inUncategorized

To continue our drive to be ‘better than good’, I have decided to set you all a writing challenge (yes parents included!). I would like you to write a 100 word story using the prompt below. Use this challenge to showcase your English skills: think about sentence structure, language choices, punctuation and composition.

Begin your story with the following prompt (use it as inspiration).

…”but where did it go?” she shouted…

Submit your 100 word challenge here (please ask a parent to help) – I look forward to reading them all.

  1. “But where did it go?” she shouted.

    Katie couldn’t believe her eyes: one minute the sky was a sea of glorious, warming sunshine and the next a vicious storm was raging furiously overhead. The bullet-like rain felt like whips lashing against her exposed cheeks whilst the wind tore into her skin like razor blades. Hail stones the size of golf balls were meteorites, destroying everything in their path. She needed shelter…… and NOW!

    As she sprinted frantically for the cover, the clouds began to part like waves breaking on the shore. As quick as it had arrived, the storm was gone. (100 words)

    Sadie had lost a gigantic teddy! You probably agree with me (hard to lose) but it had happened. She wondered where she could have possibly left it but then she REMEMBERED she had it last at the beach. She told her mum and they were off…

    The beach was dark and misty so they couldn’t see a thing. Suddenly they heard a noise but it was a kitten! Then all at once the mist settled and there sat TEDDY, just where Sadie had left him. They were so happy!

    Charlotte frantically searched her room for her precious moonstone necklace. She took it everywhere with her: to the beach, to the river and even when she goes on holiday! But today it wasn’t where she left it. Then all of a sudden… the lights went out. Since Charlotte was afraid of the dark, she curled up on her bed. She then saw a faint glow in the corner of her room. She decided to take a look. It was a magnificent purple and pink portal and there was her necklace powering the portal…

    1. Beautiful writing Isabel. I particularly like your mature language choices and variety of sentence structures. The use of a series of short sentences really helps to build tension. Well done!

  6. “But where did it go?”she shouted.Ellie was baking a cake for her mum’s birthday (a chocolate sponge)but had found that she didn’t have any flour which is one of the main ingredients for a chocolate sponge cake. She decided to nip to the Sainsbury’s which was two streets away. It took ten minutes to get there but when she arrived the shop was gone in fact the whole street was gone. Ellie stood there,confused, until a little, grotesque creature appeared and calmly stated “you took the wrong lane this is Marlin street you needed London street…”

    Nora had lost the path in the wood and didn’t have a map ,compass or the stars to guide her! She looked to see if anyone was around, but could see nobody. She kept walking to see if she could rejoin the path, but it was nowhere to be found.

    As darkness fell Nora became frightened! In a panic she tried to retrace her steps, but the path wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Suddenly, she saw a torch and heard familiar voices. It was her dad! She ran to him as fast as her legs could take her.

    Audrey had just won gold at the Olympics and had already lost her medal. As she retraced her steps, she remembered that she went to her friends house last night to show her the medal. For some reason she couldn’t remember what happened next. So she went to her friend’s house again to search for her medal. But Emily’s room (Audrey’s friend’s name) was a mess, so they cleared it up, but they didn’t manage find it, so Audrey rushed back home and sat on the sofa very upset. Until she saw a golden shimmer on the sofa and she realised that that was her medal , she was relieved.

    Piggy French had lost her horse, Lottie. Lottie could jump a metre bareback. Piggy assumed she’d jumped over the fence. Her thought was that she had been looking for her boyfriend Jack or Delilah. Piggy went to Delilah’s owner, Emma to see if Lottie was there. As soon as she got there Emma was running all over the place yelling “Delilah”, looking everywhere for her. Then they both went to Olivia’s the owner of Jack. As they got there Olivia was just coming out of the door. Emma and Piggy told her everything and then they went round they saw them all and Lottie had her foal, Milo!

    Amelia had lost her favourite teddy (Mr Puffy). The last place she had him was in her glorious bedroom. As Amelia was running down stairs she saw in her garden that Mr Puffy had come to life !!! Amelia was flabbergasted when she saw him. Within a second, Amelia blinked and he was gone. Amelia searched high and low for traces of her favourite bear but she couldn’t find him anywhere.
    But wait, was it a dream, Amelia thought….
    Suddenly Amelia woke up and laying right beside her was Mr Puffy.
    The end.

  17. ….”But where did it go?” she shouted and “how an earth can this be?” gasped Ben.” Neither of them could quite believe what they were seeing, their mind-numbingly boring school had disappeared for ever, burnt down by the raging bushfires. “My eyes are terribly itchy and watery,” whined Ben. “It is eerily quiet”, whispered Alex, “I don’t like it”. Outside the wind was howling like crazy and the fan had to be on full bust. “I can’t believe it, no more school and I had nearly finished my exams,” cried Alex. “Oh well,” said Ben, “I never liked school anyway!”

    Issabella has lost her most favourite book of all times( the princess and the foul). It had been missing for two days and she still hadn’t found it.
    “It has to be somewhere, but where exactly?” Mumbled Issabella to herself.
    Eventually, her mum called her down for tea.
    “Issy dinners ready.”
    “ Coming now,” shouted Issy
    As she walked down the stairs, there it was, the book, the book she had been trying to find, right there in the hands of her annoying sister.
    “This book is brilliant, thanks for letting me borrow it,” grinned her sister
    Issabella never left her books out again…
