A Party - Story Writing

Parties are the topic that was important to Bela, especially the food that's eaten at parties!

The children watched a video of a children's author being interviewed and talking about where he gets his ideas from. I suggested we write our own story about Bela's topic and everyone agreed.

What makes a story a story? A story contains a topic, characters, a setting, it usually has a problem and a solution and an ending. The children worked together adding details incorporating everyone's ideas. You can tell who added what by the colour. Next week the children would like to dramatize the story.

The Party

Written by Julia, Bela, Alfie, Simone, Esme and Wendy

Once upon a time there was a birthday girl named Melody, she had long golden hair, she was a nice girl and she was turning 10 years old. Her little brother was also a birthday boy, his name was Monster, he was a happy baby monster who looked like a baby and he was turning 2! They were planning a party to celebrate their birthdays together and they invited their school friend Tepalee, a little boy whose skin was blue from his blue light saber. Melody wore a golden shiny dress that was as long as the tip of her toes and her shoes were coloured rainbow sparkly.

Melody and Monster were having their party at the art studio, they were excited to paint their faces! When Melody, Monster and Tepalee got to the art studio they discovered that there was already another party happening. The children at that party shouted “Go away! We don’t want you here!” Melody and Monster began to cry. Tepalee had a great idea, he asked “Can we join your party?” The children looked at Monster and Melody crying and they said “Yes you can! We should say sorry for what we did!” The children joined together and celebrated and painted faces and ate cookies and cream, cake, cookies, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate vanilla syrup, and hot chocolate. They had a great day!
