My creative writing assignment
Hi guys I recently wrote a creative writing assignment on the topic:The day I almost lost my teddy.My parents enjoyed it so I decided to show you guys.Hope you enjoy:
One fine day I was walking home from school but today I had a large ,White plastic bag in my hands.On the bag were the words. "Stuart House Donation", a phone number and an address.The Stuart House fund was a donation programme that our school was doing were you could donate anything to needy kids in poor countries.
When I got home I put a lot of stuff in that bag such as DVD's,CD's,Dolls and Books.Then suddenly I came across my old teddy.I liked my teddy but I didn't expect anyone in my class to have one at this age so in went teddy with everything else.Our teacher told us we were to put our donation bags in that evening so after I finished we went back to school to drop my bag of.That night I couldn't sleep without teddy when I did I got nightmares.The next morning I woke up knowing I had to get teddy back no matter what.
When I got to school I asked the teacher were the bags were.She said they were in the principal 's office.I ran up to the principal's office and barged in ....she wasn't there.I found my bag,grabbed teddy and closed the bag again.That day when I got home from school I went upstairs to my room and got teddy out of my bag and that's when I realised I wasn't ready to let teddy go.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED
