A picture tells 1000 words

 WALT: write an 300 word story 

At school we got an image, this one is a image with a diving board. we had to write a story using 300 words, at the start I thought is was really hard but it was actually really interesting I did 560 words actually, it was amazing seeing how many words you actually write without noticing. Overall this task was really cool. What is your favourite image and why?

It was a hot day.  Boiling and frying the people that dare to go outside

, but our school chose this day to go to the pool, not just any old pool,

a non-heated pool and we were really excited for it.

When the time came for the bus to arrive we jumped on the bus and got ready for the road ahead…

The bus sped off leaving no sign of being present at the stopping bay at school.

In the rows of seats we were all so hot.

We couldn't wait till we got to the pool but the bus driver said we were 10 minutes

away and for some reason we got even hotter.

The excruciating long 10 minutes passed and we were there at last.

We raced off to the changing rooms like Sonic the hedgehog on the hunt for coins.

I put my bag on the hanger to call dibs on the space. Once I got changed I started to run to the pool, but the lifeguard stopped me and I slowed down. 

I took a look around the pool and saw there was a diving

board not like any other diving board but a huge diving board.

Bigger than any other at Jellie park. Actually 3 times as big as the biggest diving board there.

I was scared for my life, so I decided to swim in the main pool no matter how crowded it was.

As I hopped in, the diving board was on my mind, if I jump then I will be proud and if I don´t… My stomach was going around and around. My best friends Holly,Anna and Logan said ¨ are you going to go and jump off that massive diving board¨

I replied ¨only if you do it too.¨ and then Holly and Anna said 

¨ I don´t know about that Emily...¨ 

Anna looked terrified ¨ what if you get hurt¨ 

and Holly exclaimed ¨I don´t want you to get hurt!¨ Holly and Anna 

I said ¨ NO¨ sternly I'm gonna do it. I was determined but also out of my mind, 

This time I was doing it no ifs or buts.

As I walked over my head was spinning and I had no idea what to do.

I was only 1 meter away and really really scared.

I climbed up the stair leading to the 

higher and higher and my nerves were getting worser and worser when

I got up the top I leaned down to see

how far it was and it was really far but

I couldnt see properly so

I leaned a bit more forward and wasn't ready an-  SPLASH! I fell straight into the diving pool.

I forgot to block my nose and then water was irritating it and I came up just to find that my

goggles were missing…

There was a lot more to worry about though the pool was really deep and

I wasn't a confident swimmer then a orange floaty bobbed above my head,

I grabbed on and was hurtled back onto land and was glad I did it in the end.

Holly,Logan and Anna ended up facing the board too.

It was all a dream, how did I face the diving board? And how did the diving board get so popular?
