Astonished astronomers!

One of the stars of the night sky had begun to change. This star had always been a very tiny star, of no importance at all. It had shone up there for billions and trillions and sillions of years in the Constellation of Orion, that great shape of the giant hunger that strides across space on autumn and winter nights. in all its time this tiny star had never changed in any way.

Now, suddenly, it began to get bigger.
In the style of the Author Ted Hughes, write the next part of the story.

    1. I like the way you used alternative words for said like 'whispered' and 'replied'. What other words could you have used to describe how the astronomers were speaking to one another?

    1. I think the adjectives 'teeny weeny' are great to describe how the star started out. To improve this paragraph you can think about how we spell the word have in past tense?

  5. Every minute, the star grew bigger and bigger and BIGGER. Until it covered the sky with the BRIGHTEST LIGHT EVER!
    At night everyone was so amazed and couldn't believe what they had seen. The children thought it was morning so they stayed up ALL NIGHT. After, they looked in the window and saw that the sky was covered with the BRIGHTEST LIGHT EVER! The children felt wasted because they were awake all day."What a Waste" To be continued...

    It was a GAINT METEOR going heading straight for the astronomers faster than the speed of lightning .As they braced for impact the meteor stopped right INFRONT of them. They had no idea of what was going on. They studied it while they had the chance

    1. 'Braced for impact' - what an exceptional Adverbial phrase to give more details about the astronomers.

    2. I also like the way you used the pronoun 'they' instead of repeating the word astronomers to keep the flow of your writing.

      This is a cool mystery so can you tell us what happen's next or do we predict it ?

    3. This time we aren't going to predict it, instead we're going to read the rest of the chapter and you are going to imagine the events in your head. After this, you are going to draw a story map including some of the key vocabulary to help you retell the story.

  12. During the night, the astronomers were looking at the star with worried frowns. The star was getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Everyone was staring up into the sky and they always stared at the tiny star getting bigger . The star was bigger than a rocket and was bigger than the moon and was bigger than Jupiter. If it hit the world at that speed the world would be blasted to bits. And if it exploded on earth then it would look colourful and bright .

    1. I love how you remembered a comma after your first fronted adverbial, what other fronted adverbial have you used where you could also place a comma?
