We later discovered that this was all because a branch from the huge tree by the Grade 5/6 rooms which had fallen onto the power lines, but this was not the worst of it. One power line had fallen off and landed on Mr Campbell's car! Now that was very exciting! You will all be pleased to know that Mr Campbell's car is perfectly fine, though this took some time to find out!
The fire brigade arrived incredibly quickly. They blocked off the road to keep everyone safe from the live wires across the road. Then the electricity men arrived and started to try and repair the lines. This was a big job and took them a long time. In fact they finished long after we were home and in bed!

Never to let a golden opportunity pass them bye the Prep Teachers decided that this was a perfect opportunity for the Preps to build on our descriptive writing.
After talking about our ideas and experimenting with our ever growing language skills, we drew what we wish to write about. This helps us to get a clear idea of our story.
We talk about our drawings, and we try to find better words to use to perfectly describe what the storm was was really like.
Once we have shared and listened to many other ideas, we are ready to write our stories. Look at us writing here. We are almost as proud of ourselves as Miss Coats, Mrs Rizzo and Mrs Krake are of us!
Can you see how proud we are as we read some of our stories to you? What amazing writers we have become already!
This short sharp writing lesson was accumplished in the last 45mins of an already full day. Now that really is something!
