My class has been exploring what makes a good story. We have been experimenting with writing the openings and build-ups to create suspense and draw the reader in. I have discovered some budding thriller writers among the children. Here are a few to give a flavour:
Amy was walking from the club house. It was dark and a fox was running across the road. She heard a footstep behind her. She started running, running faster. The footstep started to run faster too. Amy was worried, she seriously wanted to go home. She was shivering. The cold wind was going into her face. She could see her house light…. Something was staring out!

Crystal was slowly walking down the old, rusty steps. Were they safe? She was shaking with fear. Someone, or something, was behind her. But what? She continued but this time she ran. She got to the bottom and heard birds whistling. She was right at the edge of the deep wide river. Crystal was terrified she would fall in, when a bike shot past. She knew that this was her grave!

Kameron was walking from the club. He heard footsteps. He thought it was him but the footsteps were faster. Every second Kameron was shivering. He stopped walking and turned around cautiously. There was a shadow camouflaged into the dark side of the wall. The wind started to blow harder and harder. Kameron turned back around but the thing was in front of him. Suddenly it pulled out a black bag, put it over Kameron and he was gone!...

Sophie was melting from the head in her room. She went to open her window but as soon as she pulled the curtain, a big bang, as loud as thunder, shot from side to side.
