Ruby Adrift

Adrift


Story starter! 
Storm-clouds gathered all around him like a pack of wolves surrounding their prey. The thunder echoed through the night air, as streaks of silvery lightning illuminated the darkness. His boat was shaking as he shook in fear. The boat was thumping and bumping along the rough and stormy sea 
Question time! 
Imagine you are on a sinking ship. You have 1 minute to grab as many items as you can to take with you on a lifeboat. If you could take 10 items with you to help you survive and be rescued, what would they be? Can you rank the following 10 items in order of importance in helping you to survive

 a flare gun
 a whistle
an Emergency blanket
 a map
mobile phone
 a bottle of water
a rope
a bar of chocolate
 a fishing net
A mirror 


Perfect picture! 
Can you draw a picture of the man and the boat during the terrible storm?

 
Sentence challenge! 
Can you write a sentence containing a relative clause, starting with a noun? 
The ocean, which was usually his greatest friend, was now his worst enemy. Fish, which he usually hated eating, was now the only thing keeping him alive. 
The boat, was bumping along the sea would it sink or would not?
Sick sentences! 
These sentences are ‘sick’ and need help to get better. Can you help? Could you add an adverb? 
The man sat in thumping and bumping about in the boat. It was so stormy he couldn't see anything except He could see the flash of lightning.

  2. Hi Ruby Lotte here this post is amazing! I loved how you described the boats movement in the water no wonder you got the blogger of the week. Next time can you make the story a little longer so that people know a bit more to the story other than that it was perfect.
