By Lucy Tirahan For week 8 the theme was 'crazy creations', for the first task I gave each student a piece of paper and worked on character development. I started by asking a question to which the students wrote their answer down, they then folded paper over their answer and passed their piece of paper to the person to the right. I then asked a different question and the same process followed. After a piece of paper had returned to its original person, we opened them up and discovered interesting characters. I was trying to encourage the students to add unique and unexpected information when describing characters as it makes it more interesting to read. The series of questions were: What is their name? How old are they? Where do they live? What is their favourite thing to do on a Sunday? What is their biggest fear? When did they last cry? Below you will see the answers to these questions and how they formed a variety of characters. The second activity was to create an invention which defeats war and achieves world peace. With Remembrance Day last week, as a class we discussed the importance of peace around the world.  Character Development What is their name? My name is Zoey. How old are they? I am 34 years old. Where do they live? I live in the deepest cave, in an unknown land. What is their favourite thing to do on a Sunday? My hobby is to juggle bowls of my own spit! What is their biggest fear? My no.1 fear is heights. When did they last cry? The last time I cried was….was…..was… never! Filsan What is their name? Jeremya Koligan How old are they? 200 years old Where do they live? 1932 Gurgler street What is their favourite thing to do on a Sunday? Sleep and making a mess What is their biggest fear? Spiders When did they last cry? 3 years ago Manav What is their name? Malow How old are they? 172 years old Where do they live? Hawaii What is their favourite thing to do on a Sunday? Go to sleep What is their biggest fear? Heights When did they last cry? When he got bullied on 24th February 2009 Harsimran What is their name? Ashlyn Roseleigh How old are they? 1002 Where do they live? Ghana What is their favourite thing to do on a Sunday? Reading books like Harry Potter and Skulduggery Pleasant What is their biggest fear? Good over evil is their biggest fear When did they last cry? When they were 3 months old. Sanjana What is their name? Amelia How old are they? Seventeen Where do they live?

Eat a munching What is their biggest fear? Trees When did they last cry? Yesterday Callum  Create an invention which defeats war & achieves world peace My Genius Invention
It is 11:00. I am here to present my invention to the most powerful people in the world. The point of this is to create World Peace. My machine is a genius one. This is what it does: It shows all the leaders of the world how their country would look when they had a war. This would make them think twice before doing it again. Now it is 12:00. The meeting is over. It is a major success. All the leaders and most powerful people in the world have sworn an oath to never create a war again! Filsan My Peace Robot Guarding robots that use their body to protect their assigned person from anything that tries to harm them. They seek out and destroy every gun, bullet, and any other weapon in the world. To top it off they give flowers to their master every time the last one dies. Manav To keep world peace I would make a drug to make all the world’s politicians positive and a drug for when they are no longer a politician, it will be a drug to make them go back to normal. The drugs will alter their memories and possibly alter their neurons to change their point of view. Harsimran I stepped into the room, unknowingly. When I realised what I had saw I was horrified, there was silence in the room- my favourite. Not any children. I worked really hard, BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Suddenly, I was somewhere else, I was falling through the world, lonely. I saw that all the people had stopped fighting. I was a genius! “Muuhhhhhhaaaaaa!!!!!!” Sanjana Carved into a heart, it beats and beats puffing out rings of love… inside this invention it chugs and chugs and chugs, mixed with antidotes for ISIS to calm down and think, antidotes for Trump to realise that presidency in not attained by racism and hatred, antidotes to help woman gain their true rights and succeed as good as men, antidotes for equality, affection and mercy for everyone, antidotes of humanity and love to everyone and finally, antidotes for thieves and enemies to realise their mistakes and how they’re not perfect, so before pointing out to others look at their self. The antidote spreads around every nook and cranny of the world, mixing into the air… not a soul to be missed not a creature to be forgotten, to the world and beyond… Ayesha

By Lucy Tirahan For week seven I decided to go with the Halloween theme which the students worked really well. As a starter I asked them to design a witch's spell, for a main activity they could do anything based on Halloween. It is interesting to see how their skills are developing and that they are becoming more confident in writing poetry. For the main task I was surprised to see how many students chose to write poetry, I am glad they are challenging themselves and their writing proves they are very talented at what they do.  Witch Spell Abracadabra, Abracadoo Using this spell you’ll turn someone into goo! With the deep voice of mischief And the evil snare of the haunted sheriff The sour throat of a frog And the smell of a public bog The slime of an extra farty slug And the skin of a decapitated bug, Crackle this spell Like you’re calling for hell And viciously stir your cauldron Which should vomit sparks of golden! Ayesha Temporary Power Absorber Spell For all enemies big and small, drain their powers and make them fall. Any power make it yours, take it from within their core. But careful with your power, it’s only yours for an hour. Manav The Spell of Darkness Witches arise from the dead And help me make this marvellous spell. A delicious meal for Halloween! Just follow these simple steps Add the eyeball of a newt and spider too Don’t forget the slime of a slug, for flavour Swamp water to wash it down. This will be a treat the whole family will enjoy! Filsan Witch Spell Here is my spell It might even rhyme I tell my story in a weird way To speed up time Here is my spell To speed up the day To make time go faster My power I will lay. Callum How to turn somebody invisible Tap their head, Turn them to the right, Take them to a shed And give them a fright. Feed them some rat tail cakes, Give them a drink from the murky, green lake, Say alacazam, alacazoo, I cast my invisibility powers right into you! Ria  Trick or treat!
Trick or treat! Smell my feet! Give me something good to eat! Hurry up, I’m losing my conceit! I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to bleat! Or do you want me to turn you into sausage meat, And drag you all across the street. And make you so horror-struck that you’ll excrete Don’t dare to make a desperate fleet Or you’ll find I won’t be very sweet! I’ll gash your windows And raid your kitchen And you’ll be so amazed You’ll be frozen in daze And stuck in a mental maze. By the time you’re conscious again You’ll be wondering how I escaped through the drain. So when I say trick or treat, Give me something good to eat! Ayesha The Love for my Pumpkin What a beauty! What a sight! You would make the best pumpkin for Halloween tonight. You are like a masterpiece, a Halloween heaven in disguise, A beauty sitting right before my eyes. A fusion of scarlet and a colour of pale tangerine, How on earth could we possibly make you look so mean? We cut you some eyes, Before we realise that you look so neat! You really are a pumpkin that can’t be beat. A mouth is carved so finely on your face, Wow oh wow! You look so ace! Amazed people stop and stare As you sit proudly with so much flair. Ria My Halloween Piece Halloween monsters in the haunted house Drunk Dracula’s diving down all the way into the dairy pool Serious skeletons sword fighting Freaky Frankenstein’s frying fingers Zooming zombie’s zapping zippers open Jazzy jack-o-lanterns jamming out to Jessie J Manav The Skeleton’s Key I walked across the cemetery Feeling every grave I remembered a memory When I was very brave. It was when I found a box Within it there was key It had a face that was very cross And I jumped with glee. It was the skeleton key Rumoured to awaken the dead But only on the night of Halloween From their ghostly beds. They key glowed and shimmered With a grave slowly awakening It grasped my ankle and pulled me down Never to see the light of day again. Filsan Halloween Haikus Halloween party Fireworks scare dogs away Scary carved pumpkins Halloween party Costumes are hand crafted well Bright decorations Halloween party Four buckets filled up with sweets Toffee apples stick Callum |
MEET LUCY
Our Creative Writing Teacher I'm a student in year 12
who is passionate about writing and hopes to become successful in the industry when I'm older. I am lucky to have been provided with many opportunities throughout school to explore this skill and take it further. Writing is often seen as an unstable career but many people have inspired me to stay committed to something I love and to keep my drive, purely because it is with drive and dedication that you can overcome what is deemed impossible. I wanted to do something which would inspire younger years to take up creative writing, as I truly believe it is an art that can help you develop many skills and force you to think outside the ordinary. I also believe that younger people have not been provided with a sufficient platform to make themselves heard, this blog is an alternative platform. I now run a creative writing club with Heston West Big Local once a week where I work with students aged 11-14 on creative writing pieces. They are all incredibly talented and each individual manages to write from a unique perspective. Each week we will upload their work, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy working with them. Archives
