There was so much to see and do, including so many interesting Victorian people to talk to, that we didn’t have time for blogging while we were at Blists Hill! Here are a few pictures of our fabulous day.

Who was the most interesting person you spoke to at Blists Hill?

More poems using Slow Writing

Here are some more examples of our poetry using the Slow Writing technique. Slow Writing uses a very strict writing structure, can you spot what these poems have in common?

The Flood by Dylan

Grabbing on, I hoped someone was out there.

I was petrified.

This was turture; I was determined to  carry on.

Will this mayhemm ever stop?

Slowely my life ebbs away.

Hunger hits me as fast as lightning

The water clings on to my clothes as I try to shake it off

 

My desperation by Ollie

Clinging on for dear life,

Fear engulfed me,

I was heartbroken; I still carried on,

Is this to much for me to bare?

Slowly, my life ebbed away,

Starvation hit me like a wild bush fire,

The water clung onto me.

 

MAYHEM! by Ben

Breathing heavily, I wondered if the flod would ever end.

Everything was lost.

I screamed; no one heard.

Will I survive this terrifying mayhem?

Quickly the water drags me under the raft.

I hung onto the rope like a monkey on a tree.

The dirty, horrible water was slowly swallowing me.
