Stories in a Tweet

We wrote earlier this year about two sentence stories. We're still getting some good writing from that and were intrigued by this Tweet we recently came across:

Today I went to gan's. She was ill. I brought buns. On arrival I saw a wolf. He pounced. Dad came in and cut the wolf in two, finding gran.

Of course! Write a story in 140 characters. Having previously written about Tweets in the classroom, we were impressed with this idea. So we gave it a go, and here's what some Year Five children came up with:

#LRRH140 Girl in woods. Meets wolf. Wolf runs to house. Wold eats gran. Pretends to be gran. Eats girl. Woodcutter comes. Kills wolf. Happy.

#LRRH140 I saw my grandchild. She was coming, but so was Wolfie. I hid in the cupboard. Luckily, my grandchild came in and saved me.

#LRRH140 Gran’s ill. I have to go to see her. I met wolf on the way. We chatted: I told him where gran lives. He went, ate her and then me.

Also, anyone for homophone jokes in a Tweet?

"Why was the sky so plain? We were near the airport." Sophie, Year Five.
