VISUAL LITERACY

As part of their SATs revision, Year 6 have been using photos as a stimulus for writing.  Here are their favourite sentences.

He saw the flicker once more; he thought is this my imagination? Anxiously, he turned to find…nothing but a rat scurrying across the rubbled ground.    Ellie Chilton

Creeping up to him, it stormed ahead and boom!  William Brew

The creepy shadow was a …tree. It was hit by a vicious lighting bolt and slowly started to fall.  Jack Wallace

Almost invisible, but definitely real; Jake is almost on the verge of running away but is too tempted and has to investigate…   Abby Milligan

In shock, he froze then slowly turned his head; his knees knocking and teeth chattering…   Melissa Walkerdine

I felt something touch me on the back.  I turned and suddenly… Tom Tarr

Nervously, he glanced at the shadow.  Was this real?  His heart was in his throat as the vicious shadow grew swiftly closer.  Michael Prince

Bang!  The sound shudders through my eyes, the sound of a gunshot.  The screams stop, I heard heavy footsteps pounding towards me; my only option is to run.  Heart pounding…head thumping, I turn, smack! An enormous, broad man with blood pouring from his face, a gun in his hands is right in front of my face…   Sarah Haywood

It just kept getting louder until it was there standing over me.  The person fell at my feet.  Was he dead?  Jessica Kirby

Jake wanted to run but he couldn’t leave whoever it was.  Could he?  Jake made up his mind: he darted down the tunnel, extremely nervous.  He dared to look up…

Abruptly, he turned a corner and the screaming stopped and there lay a girl…dead.  The ghost of the girl floated past..  Shannon Butler.

His legs were trembling, his heart was pounding.  Suddenly, a shadow appeared.  Rhys Potts

Jake heard the screaming.  He saw nothing but his own two feet.  Then he stopped and stared into the distance.  Silence came to his ears.  Someone or something started to whistle.  Cautiously, he crept.  Suddenly, someone ran past Jake.  He was terrified.  The screaming started again…  Pantelakis Christou

The chill made him shudder as he walked further through the tunnel.  He heard groaning and screaming.  A little girl, about sic years old, appeared out of nowhere.  She stared at Jake, her big, brown eyes gleaming in the tiny bit of light that shone through the hole in the tunnel.   Carmen Crocker

Anxiously, he paced through the tunnel.  He heard the noise getting louder and his heart pounded as darkness covered his eyes in the gloom.  He stood in front of the shadow begging for mercy.   Aaron Singh

Bravely, he walked on and the icy wind got even cooler.  The water dripping was  being drowned out by the unforgiving screams.  Echoing footsteps were becoming louder and then a flicker of movement caught his eye.  Maybe it was the moon…or something else.  Connor Taylor

The beating of the drums of death beat through me until I fell to the floor.  Maddy Till

Jake was shivering.  The screaming was getting louder and louder.  What should he do?

The night sky was falling.  Was there going to be a storm?  I went quickly, in pain…  Rebecca Holden

I was tired, but I didn’t dare stop running; the beast was behind me.  It’s ferocious roar distracted me.  I stumbled and fell.  As the bulk of the monster crouched over me, blocking the blood-red sky, I was at its mercy.    Harry Parkes.

I stared at the gruesome, red blood then I looked up to see the head, all that was left was the skull…Yet, as I glanced into the distance, I saw a pile, not moving….
