Creative writing using Photofunia

Hello! This is Grade 4/5 B's blog in Cape Town. Please look around, especially at our Senior Citizens project. We love creative writing in this class. Today we used two webtools. The first was a newspaper clip generator called 'Fodey's newspaper clip generator' http://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp. After that we used a fun programme called Photofunia where you have upload a picture of yourself to a fun image creator called Photofunia. We then created a story around the picture. 

’A great surprise’ by Geocro
It was Christmas Eve 1999 in the United States of America, and the Lock family were sitting having a nice dinner in their huge house on Dodger Road. All was dead quiet except for the scraping of knives and forks on plates. To break the silence Maria (the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs Lock) said,
“Can you pass me the salt, please mother?”
“Why don't you get it yourself?” asked her bratty sister Emma.
“Hush, Emma,” said Mrs Lock. “I will get the salt for your sister.”
“Thank you mother,” said Maria.
A few minutes later I was in my room. If you are wondering who I am well let me tell you that I am Rose, the older sister of Emma and the younger sister of Maria. That night I prayed to God, and I always said the same thing.
“Please may my face be on the Christmas decoration balls!”
I didn't know why but it was like a weird obsession. I didn't know how it started and I didn't know how to stop it. That night I slept badly and when I woke up I had circles under my eyes. I was so.o.o tired. But when I went down stairs I brightened up for there, on the decorative balls that were on the Christmas tree, was my face! I could hardly believe my eyes!
