Hide and Seek

In our writing we are learning to imply, that means to give clues about what's happening rather than just telling.

We read a poem called Hide and Seek and then we wrote our own sentences implying that we were hiding. All of our sentences have been organised to make this verse of a poem.

Here I come, ready or not!

I crawl under my bed. The dust tickles my feet.

No one will find me in this dark, spooky place.

I stay in the dark shadows.

My chest fills up with excitement. I can hear them,

giggling just above my bed.

I am still and small. I stay really still. 

They won’t be able to find me here.

I try not to breathe.

Waiting for someone to find me.

I’ve got to stay still and quiet.

I won’t move. I won’t move a muscle.

I won’t say a thing.

Nobody can see me. I’ll stay forever quiet.

They will never find me here.

It’s been a long time, they still haven’t found me.

The voices of my friends fade away.

I am safe now.

I feel like I’m invisible.
