Story Writing Workshop

Read the road-trip story, try the writing activities, then plan and write your own story. Use capital letters, full stops and interesting describing words.

Read the story

Amira-Mae, Lachlan and Arjun were driving along a country road with their family. They hoped to reach the coast before sunset. Suddenly, a wheel on their small trailer bumped loose and a bright red picnic basket rolled down a grassy slope. “The sandwiches!” cried Lachlan. The children hurried after it, but the basket stopped beside a tiny wooden bridge. Arjun spotted a safe path around the slope. Together, they carried the basket back to the car. Soon they were on their way again, sharing snacks as the sun painted the sky orange.
