RBD had made a Minecraft museum                                                                                                                 HW treated us to a trip to a Pokémon museum

Sentence Stacking                      Maple's Secret of Black Rock.

     Erin lived near a big fishing town and longed to go out to sea on a boat with her mum. Everyone told her it was too dangerous because of the legend of Black Rock. One day, she sneaked out onto the boat without her mum noticing and it set off with her on board...
     As soon as the wind blew, the big scary fog grew. (Thk U RH) The fog was scary! The fog was getting scarier! The fog was the scariest fog she had ever seen in her life. (Thk U CB)  It instantaneously worsened, Erin could not stand the fog, as she struggled to see through. (Thk U SW) The swirling fog thickened until Erin couldn't see anything (Thk U EM).
​     
The colossal rock loomed over the boat, they were very scared (Thk U AB). It was a sooty rock as black as metal chains which were locked to the centre of the Earth. (Thk U MP) "We're going to die! Is this the end?" thought Erin helplessly. (Thk U CB)
     The enormous waves kept crashing against the tiny fishing boat. The boat turned and swirled up and down the huge waves like being on a roller coaster! (Thk U EW) CRASH! SPLASH! Erin disappeared into the dark, dark freezing sea.
     "This is so, so scary!" she thought. (Thk U SW) "I'm about to drown!" she thought. (Thk U CB)
The sharp waves were hitting the life threatening rock. (Thk U RH)
​      
She uncontrollably crashed about in the sea but the sea took her down. Falling deeper, deeper and deeper. She was falling into the extreme dark. She was petrified! Just them she heard a distressing rumble – it was threatening and alarming. (Thk U RH) Harsh! Startling! Threatening! (Thk U SW)
      
Black rock yawned awake sharply. Erin jumped quickly (Thk U SW) Erin jerked back! His face looked smiley and friendly. She felt calm and safe. Erin saw a lime-green turtle, a ginger-orange starfish, a peach-orange clownfish and some honey-orange crabs. (Thk U CB)
      Erin was captivated by the far reaching deep blue sea. She was amazed by the the beauty of the wonderful brightly coloured fish that swum around her. A party of parrot fish glided pass. This was paradise! (Thk U EW) 
Erin was so amazed she just kept staring at the troop of dogfish because they were so special to her eyes. Their ruby heads glittered in the moonlight, it was stunningly beautiful. (Thk U EB)
      
Jumping back in amazement, Erin noticed scrapes on the rocks from rusty old anchors, twisted fishing nets and shiny treasure. She caught sight of a clumsy crab clinging to the shells, a magnificent mudskipper munching on juicy mud and simmering seahorse swaying in the sea. An octopus and an eagle ray followed lazily behind. (Thk U SW) Slick as a squid pulsating in the ocean Black Rock’s hand rose out of the water.
“Thank you, my friend,” spluttered Erin.
 She knew the black rock was unforgettable. (Thk U RH) 
Erin recognised that this was the most incredible moment of her life. (Thk U SW)
       
Erin relaxed while she gazed at the dark, blue, sploshing sea. The dangerous dog shark followed the flapping flying fish, followed by Black Rock joyously. Together they made it back to the shore because they had persevered. (Thk U RH) They had had an incredible time, they had learned of friendship. (Thk U SW)
                                         Thank you for reading. Thank you to all the contributors.
                                                                                           THE END.
