Dear diary,
Today, as I looked around my island, I saw a long white sandy beach that stretched as far as the eye could see. I could hear the huge waves as they crashed against the shore, bringing with them the horrible scent of washed up seaweed which was as new to the island as I was. The taste of seawater still lingered at the back of my throat and the scorching sun burnt my back as its rays hit me. Everywhere I looked I was surrounded by huge towering palm trees which constantly had coconuts falling out of them which looked like small brown bowling balls. I then explored the rest of my island and all the supplies I could find.

I've finally arrived on the island I'm now walking and looking around for a shelter and food, the island is full of different types of trees ,plants and dangerous animals to.So i have to be on the look out for any thing that may harm me.So I'm walking though the jungle suddenly i see a river of cold water that you can drink and right next to it was a cave perfect for shelter so i went to the cave and put my stuff in the cave now i need to find wood to make a fire so i keep warm and it will protect me from the animals and bugs for explames:the scorpion. So i set off to find some wood 10 minits later I've got back with some wood now I'm trying to light it with a mach stick it lit up very quickly.

Dear Diary,
My eyes are nearly blind from the shimmering sunlight reflecting off the sea. I can see tropical fish swimming about getting on with there normal lives. Suddenly I see splashes of water, then a dolphin came out of the water spraying my face with cool water, which reminds me how hungry and thirsty I am. I turn around and saw all the fruits I could ever imagine. The smell of them was the most grestest smell I have ever smelt. I wanted to run up and eat all of them. As I ran I could feel the sand slipping inbetween my toes. When I got to the fruit, I grabbed as many as I could! Then I heard rushing water. I looked up and saw a waterfall pouring from the top of the cliff right down to my feet! It was so hot because the sun's heat was hitting on the back of my head as if it wanted to push me over. So I walked towards a nearby cave and and crawled in. It was dark inside all I could see not much apart from a couple of spiders and cob webs but I am not scared any more. Because I know they're the only ones I can talk to!
Dear Diary,
Swaying gently, the palm trees move to the beat air. The leaves were like green lettuce in harvest. Beneath the palm trees, were the rich, tough and sweet grass. Coconuts lay lifeless as skulls. Behind the palm trees was a deep, thick forest. The sea was illuminated by the ruthless heat of the sun.
Pitylessly, the sun hit you like it was telling you to get out of it's land- I wish I could. Glistening peacfully, the water - transparent - let's look at the shining little fishes,moving swiftly. Dreadfuly, the black cave echoed, however, there was nobody there to make the noise.
Sea gulls flew silently above like an eagle searching for it's prey. However, there was no rain coming and sea gulls normally make a noise. Well not on this island!!!
Dear diary,

Am i on one of those you've been framed shows? Ok you can come out now! No answer.I'm not going to survive out here alone,i'm going to get eaten out here or maybe something worse.It was the storm,the lightning and the boat being electracuted. It started to sink. Did i watch my friends drown? i cant remember.I miss them,i want them here,if they were here, i would'nt be as scared as i am now.
Did they survive?
Is my imagenation playing tricks on me?
What should i do?
HELP ME!
At first my eyes had to get adjusted to the immaculate white sand. The strong stench of seaweed lingered with me as the waves gently pressed up to the shore. The dark green palm trees leaned over the sand as if they wanted to get out of the island. Fish splashed about in the glamourus sea and swam around in groups through the clear blue water. There was still a dazzling glimpse of the sun on the twinkling horizon. The vicious looking jungle was just behind me and inside it I could hear the movements of wild animals. There was a giant volcano behind the jungle although it only erupted every odd seventy years. It was surrounded by a strange sandy ashy substance. The soft breeze was still lapping itself across my face. It is peaceful here. A little too peaceful.
Dear Diary,
The Tropical island is so hot, I can fill the blazing sun on my face,the animals,the plants theres even a beach. The breeze is blowing across my face. I can here the waves going side to side. I can smell the fresh grown fruit from far away. I can see a mountain on the other side. Theres a sea filled of dolphins and whales going one way to another. I was so thirsty so i wnt
to find some water but i couldn't find any i walked forward and something landed on my head and then droped on the floor it was a cocount so i picked up and opened it then i was so full up i couldnt eat anything else. i could see a river with a boat init with a few people i carried on walking as i saw i a shelter so i stoped by there and went asleep after a very hot and adventured day. by cherise
Dear Microsoft Word,
I don't know who I'm kidding, it's obvious I'm going to die here. No one's going to find this. My battery's going to die out soon, and I'll be lost forever. But I've got time, possibly a whole life of it, to kill - so here...
Me and Zoe were so hapz, there was gonna be sun, sea and gorgeous Ecuadorian boys. Yum! We were already dreaming up about their tans, slicked black hair and enchanting ways. Truth was, we didn't have a clue what they looked like.
"Maybe they're gonna look a bit like Ronaldo...?" Zoe yawned, pushing her long, light brown hair off her sweaty forhead.
"Hope so," Iona grinned, pulling a bit of guava out of her braces with her tongue. "If they're anything as nice as the fruit, then we're in luck!" We all laughed, and continued to feast on the exotic, colourful fruits in the bowl. Sweet liquid dribbled down my chin, and I lapped it up. Petals, seeds and pips were being flicked and thrown around so much it looked like a little rainbow in the gangway. Out of all of the countries we'd been to in the last term, everyone was sure that the final trip to Ecuador would be the best.
A trip to remember...
But for all the wrong reasons.
A poisionous spider had slipped into a bunch of bananas the pilots had devoured before the flight, and four hours later - at that current moment - the effects were beginning to take place. Their lips had began to swell; their eyes had turned glassy, and were rolling around and they had uncontrollable body tempratures, one second deadly cold, the next fry-an-egg hot. The useless air hostess's had skittered around the aircraft in their high heels, getting out the first aid kit.
Sorry love, I don't think anticeptic wipes will help a poisioned man.
The plane had began to jolt, and within seconds, we were hurtling uncontrollably into the depths of the water below. Me, Zoe and Iona clung to eachother, tears cascading down our faces - if we didn't drown in the sea, we'd drown in these tears...
Today is day one,year one,week one,month one. Time once again,no clue.
The island is so hot like the love of my life, the sound of the waves,the breeze on my face,the cool,cool water running down my body as i walk.The smell of the salty water,the sound of the tropical plants and animals,the sand in between my toes.It fells like the best holiday ever,if i wernt stranded here.Anyway moving on,the warmth like a warm blanket,the sky and the sea,both so blue you cant tell when one starts and the other ends.the palms so high they touch the sky.the warmth all day and night.the fresh smeel all the time.the taest of coconut when i drink .The sound of the warm wind tickiling the tree's,even the smell ,feel and touch of the seaweed does not make me sick.All the different colours both the same and different types like a rainbow.The sun like a punch you need to faint,the air,the breath you need to take,the sand you need to stroke,the water you need to poke,the coconut you need to drink,nice and quiet,so lets think,sand on your skin,warm water to too,hot sun in your face,why theres no need to race,wind in the tree's,waves of the sea,silence nothing of it,let it be,coconuts,salty sea and air,this is a lovely place for love and care.

my island is big with a lot of palm trees and a huge sandy beach that seemed to go on forever.There is a really tall mountain that has a stream near it.In the palm trees grow nice big bananas that are tough to pull down. There is the horrible smell of sea water lingering in the air.I could still taste the disgusting taste of seaweed in the back of my throat.
By Franklin Immanuel
The sun looked like a dark orangery peach. It was sparkling like glitter. The waves made a woo sound. like a scaey ghost. the sea sparkled dark black, yellow and blue. I could taste coconuts, black berries and bananas.

This island is dark creepy and spooky I can see skeltons on the sand, lots of dead trees, on both sides on those trees is a cave of an unknown insect. In the middle of the forest there is a graveyard, the graveyard was a quiet as a chuch mouse, with spiders as big as my hand. I walked through the graveyard as quick as I could. I saw a coconut tree so I climbed it to get to the coconuts, the tree was as tall as the empire state building. I dropped the coconut to the ground and climbed down. I cracked the coconut on a nearby rock, I drank the milk it was as sour as a grapefruit.
7MW is in the aeroplane.
while i was wandering around the island this morning i loved loved the tropical island the sun comin down from the sky like a glowing yellow ball ,when i was walking through all of the things inside the island i found some coconuts, peaches and sugar cane along the sides of the island, i picked one up from each one and got my hammer and broke the coconut "bummmmmmmmmm" while i opened the coconut i had a taste of the cocnut it was kind of nice ,but not as nice as the ones i had in the real world what you will call the city.
when i was looking in the sky i kepted hearing monkeys inside the island i was wondering if it was my ears or i'm just having a dream, when i was going further and further and further it was getting louder, suddenley i saw just some animals nibberling at the kfc shop as i was getting inside the shop some talking animal came up to me, and said "what do you want to oreder" i sed "4 piece chickhen with some chips on the side", the talking animal said "orders upp" the the mysterious monkey fried the chickhen and grilled the chips an gave the food to me.
as i was eating the food on the sand i was wondering to my self how did i get my self here but funny enough all of my memorys were coming, i figured out how i got crashed into the sea and also how the engines got off, when i was walkin through all of the sand i felt the sand crunching under me also tickerling under me after that i slept off i hope i servive also i hope i get resqued
It all started when my class and I were on a class trip on this flashy plane. Everyone was excited and I was sitting next to my best friend, Jess. Soon later, we found out there was going to be a storm, however, everything was going to be fine. Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning and the plane rocked from side to side. It was then I knew everything was going to turn out a complete utter disaster. I clung onto Jess as she began to scream. Another sound of lightning sounded, and another and another when suddenly... CRASH!!! The lightening had hit the plane and we were beggining to fall on some next Island. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE SICK!!! We crashed heavily into the near the Island. Lukily, we were close enough to swim to the Island.In single file we all left the plane.Unfortunately my leg got tangled to the seat belt. I was about to cry. Finally i got my self untangled and began to swim out. ALL MY CLASS HAD GONE!!! I thought the wre eaten by sharks. Suddenly a voice told me swim for my life. So i listened so i grabed my things and began to swim. As I was swimming I heard a voice. It was raining so hard to see, when I recognised...
Slowly, I looked around. I could see a waterfall like a chocolate fountain.
I saw some big birds that have colourful feathers like a rainbow. They make a big sqarking noise. And they were eating choco beans.They live in bushes and they built their nest in there.
I can see golden butterfies on big flowers. They have gold and orange patterns on their wings. They were flying around the island. They made me feel exited. I wanted to catch one for my pet.
Then I saw the volcano erupting very loudly, touching the clouds. I called a big bird to take me away from the volcano as fast as it can, so it won't ruin its feathers. I was walking down the path when I saw some big exotic flowers as big as a tree. I thought I could make a house out of it so I could stay in it forever and ever. They smelt lovely.
I love the island, I can use it as my home.
It all started on 13th july were we entered the best english class . A couple of days later we set off for our mistery trip in air .Everyone was so0000 excited. then we were on the plane and we was playing games we was laughing and SUDDENLY WE CRASHED .
I was wandering the island today and realised how beautiful the island was.
The hot sun looked like a giant disco ball in the distance. Shining brightly in the sky, the heat on my skin was tickling and the sand on my feet were soft and warm.
The singing of the birds were music in my ears and the waves were loud but soothing. The splashing of the waterfall splashed in my face it gave it a cool feel. As I walked into the sea I could feel the warm water against my feet washing the sand off. I could see little hermit crabs playing with the fishes. The sea was a lovely clear colour with a hint of bright blue. The sand was a bright yellow and with the green of the palm trees, the whole island looked like a rainbow.
I opened a coconut with a hammer, I put some coconut in my mouth. It's sweet, refreshing taste melted in mouth, it bursting with flavour.
The whole place is paradise. It is heaven. Except for one thing there is bones everywhere.
Dirty, smelly bones.
The bones make me shiver but apart from that, it's great!
I think... the scary sounds aren't so good either...
Dear Diary

Dear Diary,
It was a beautiful day at Thomas Tallis and we were going on a trip to Hawaii to learn a Hulla. To get there we have to fly.
Suddenly, there was a bang at the back of the plane. I took a parachute and jumpped for safety and landed with a thud. I felt scare d and nervous. I think it will be a soft landing. Everyone jumped just like me and everyone landed in the sea.
I swam to shore as fast as I could. I saw some strange people walking on the island. The people had flowers in their hair and strange clothes on them. I was so scared so I hid behind a rock.
The people started to dance all together. Boys kicked their legs high and the women swayed their arms from side to side. I liked the dancing, so I came from behind the rock, and started dancing.
My friends hid behind the rock and they were worried if I got hurt from the strange people. My friends saw I wasn't hurt at all, so they all joined in and we were all happy. And we learnt the Hulla.
I was on a plane trip to Canada when suddenly there was a clap of thunder the plane shook forward and back, side to side then the engines started to break up. lots of people tried to open the door the plane but all got sucked into the engines. After another 10 seconds the plane began to split, the half i was on fell on to land while the other half got thrown into the sea by a gust of wind.I could see the other people start to burn in the wreckage. Some of my friends drifted away to another part of the island but after that i could only hear the screaming and shouting. while i wasn't looking a huge piece of metal hit me round the face.
I was woken by the bright sun, it was then that i realised i was stranded on an island. I looked around and i didnt really see anyone, all i saw was things floating around in the sea and parts of the aeroplane that had crashed on. I tried standing up many times and when i did i thought i was going to faint. I looked around one last time, and i saw something poking out of the sand, i think it was somebody's feet!
Dear Diary,
I have no clue where i am and no one in site .I'm so scared and i don't know what to do ,the sun's going down and it's getting dark .All in site is birds flying around in circles in the sky .

Everyone's so excited , me and katie were talking about the trip .A bit later on it started to rain with thunderstorms but no one cared we were all to excited.Then suddenly we were upside down and we where all over the place . I felt us dropping down quite fast but for a minute i thought this was part of the trip BUT then i woke up .I all i hear is screaming so then i just stared to scream .

16/6/09
my first day on the day on the iland its so boring iam so bored
I was so happy when my class 7mw won a trip to a island called uchiha island,we were told to bring camping tools such as: tin food and a poket knif but we had to let our teacher look after them of couse for safe resons, of couse now heres what happened... When we were on the plane suddently a bolt of lightning hit the planes wing and the plane started to fall we were going to crash into the sea! So i thought if i have my bag with me i would still live even if i end up on a island. So i got my bag i looked at the ground and i could see a poket knife was about to full out of my teachers poket so i walked over and picked it up and put it in my bag and whent to sit down (splash!!!) and at that moment no one was talking not even sir and he likes to talk. I turned around and looked at my friends they were some how all been knocked out by the crash the plane did not sink it just stayed on top of the water so i thought i should take one of the altomatic {inflatable} boat so i opened the plane door and pulled the string on th altomatic boat that said alto blow up so i got on the boat and sailed off to find land.
the first night by danny
Dear diary,I was so thrilled when 7mw won the contest because the teachers said ' whoever wins gets to go on a plane'! Me and my friends were sitting on the plane when i spotted a pen knife under a chair. I picked it up and put it in my pocket.Suddenly, the plane started slowing down. Mr curtis brignall looked at the engine when all of a sudden a window shatters and drags Mr curtis brignall out of the window and shootes him into the engine... Which only made things worse! I new the plane was going to crash so I quickly grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane. With only a few secounds left I opended my parachute and I fell into the water.As I rose to the top of the water I saw an island just up ahead so I swam to it. When I got on the island I was cold and wet. I new I had to make a shelter. I went deep into the islands and on the way I collected lots of leaves and vines. then I came to two colossal trees. I wieved the vines into a hammock and tied them to the tree. then I fell fast asleep.
Dear diary,
The day started of well, me and my class were going on a trip to SanFransisco. The plane journey was pretty much like any other plane journey,boring and uneventful. But, after about 2 hours in the air,disaster struck. The plane was going through an electrical storm over the Atlantic ocean when suddenly the plane was struck down by lightening! The plane then plummeted straight into the raging sea. The whole class then had to evacuate as quickly as possible through emergency exits and broken windows. Everyone was panicking as the whole class was thrown into the water and trying to keep up above the waves. Then a huge tidal wave parted me from the rest of my class and I was forced to try and survive in the waters on my own. I then remembered we had just flown over a deserted island and I could almost see it on the horizon so I tried to make my way towards it. After, what seemed, ages of agonizing swimming I made it to the island.
After the storm had passed I decided to camp out under some trees for the first night. Tomorrow I will go exploring the island, provided I'm still alive then. From Joe.
an extract by Ben Shaw
I was laughing with Amabel as we were watching an episode of the Simpsons, when the lightening flashed and the plane crashed into a rock. The students kicked the exit door and jumped out into the sea. It was cold and the waves were very big. There were lots of my friends
swimming in the sea.
20 July 2012.
Early today i heard a loud bang which felt like it hit us and the class screamed, when the loud bang hit the plane, the thunder and lighting was really heavy big and noisy. We were about to sink towards the sea I fell into the sea, the waves took me far away from the plane. I woke up and i saw a island that i never been before i said "hello anyone there?" but no one said hello back. I look around but there was no one that i could see that had survived the crash. Suddenly it began to rain really hard and heavy but there was no shelter, but i saw a tree with a big hole i run into the tree fell asleep and got ready for tomorrow to explore the island and hopefully find some food.

Dear diary, today is Friday day 1 week 1 and the date is 18 may, time not a clue. Well, this is now. It started, us 7mw won a mystery cruise, to well, that's what we didn't know. We got on the boat but I think I'm the only one that got off. Brrr. It's cold. Anyways the boat crashed into an iceberg. The unsinkable sank and I swam to shore. I didn't know if anyone other than I got off. I see Mr Brignall get ripped to smitherines and to advantage by taking his book. This silly prize.We could have just won chocolate. Why the boat? All my friends gone. Dead. Bye bye birdy. I just wanna go home. why here? why us? why life itself? I am the only one that made it. The lights went out only lightning was in sight. People screaming. Chinchilla crying. It was like world war 4. The anger. Scared pilots got eaten. i jst prayed and thought about heaven and death is not that bad. I remember the boat was hit by lightning. I got through a gap at the bottom of the boat and the teacher distracted the sharks as I went overboard. Nobody could do anything as the boat sank. I now feel cold. Dark, painful, wet, hungry, tired, but in a strange way peaceful. Like when you die in your sleep. Alone, empty, nothing left to live for. You know really dead and empty cold, alone and sad. All life itself is gone! I'm insane. God help! Please! I found shelter and a place to sleep. Although I will get nightmares. So I can wait and look for others, dead or alive from Mw. As I went to sleep i could see and hear all of the flashbacks of what happened... when I woke...
Now that I am back at last I can tell the extraordinary story, the true story.
It all began when our teacher Mr. Curtis-Brignall announced that our class (7MW) had just won the nationwide essay competition.
I got my parents permission and after a few days, it was time for us to go.
Everyone was so excited including me. The ship was excellent, it was high-tech and cosy I loved it. Now was time to set off...
It was all going well for the first few hours but after that everything went wrong.
A thunder storm started and the driver lost control of the boat, up in the distance I could see a huge rock that we where about to crash into, I had to act fast and I thought because I was such a good swimmer I thought, I should jump off the boat and swim to safety and down to luck I saw an island in the distance which i managed to enter.
I had no idea if it any other inhabitants where on this island and to be honest I did not care I am just lucky I made it out alive.
Who knows what will happen to me tomorrow but until then goodnight.
8th October 2009
Dear Diary,
I don’t know where I am. I don’t what time it is. All I know is how I got here. It seems weird writing this but it’s the only the thing that can comfort me right now. I guess it all started when our class got the chance to go to Miami on a school trip. Only half the class were going. The ones that didn’t go soon realised that they were extremely lucky. So we took a coach to the airport. The coach was fine except for the fact that the last people on it obviously hadn’t felt too great. The thick smell of sick lingered through the air. Many were almost sick themselves but managed to hold it in until they reached the toilet.
When we finally got to the airport everyone was tired. At least it was sunny I had thought to myself. We walked to the check in point and everything was fine, although it was as boring as hell! After about 2 hours he finally got on the plane. Our seats weren’t exactly first class but it was all any of us needed. My ears had popped which gave the signal that the plane was in air. I had a look outside and saw a little droplet of rain streak down my window. Nothing to worry about I had thought to myself. I tried getting to sleep at the earliest possibility and easily dosed.
The pilots announcing their “we will be experiencing some air turbulence” speech in their annoyingly casual voices strangely awaked me. I looked out the window. It was pouring down with rain. Nobody seemed too scared actually. Until the plane was struck by lightning! The first strike came with a loud thud. The second was even louder. Lights were suddenly flashing lights all over the place and the oxygen masks dropped. I could almost smell the fear. People were screaming and running around frantically. It was then that the pilots told us we had actually just entered the Bermuda triangle! Mr. Curtis-Brignall had tried to open a door to jump out but as he was falling the only working engine sucked him in and spat him out the other end in millions of tiny red cubes. Ms McCauley on the other hand, had been found electrocuted in the roof of the toilet. She had obviously been jolted up into one of the wires during the turbulence. The puffy yellow slides were let down and everybody put on their life jackets and slid of. As I reached the water I could see some of my classmates slowly drifting away from me. I had known then that I would never see them again.
I had been slowly drifting for ages. The water was freezing although it had been made slightly warmer by my occasional pee. My muscles were stretched and I was exhausted. After, what felt like 4 hours, I was finally washed up on these here shores. I had no idea if it any other inhabitants and to be honest I didn’t care. Luckily for me there was an emergency, waterproof phone in my life jacket, but ironically it had no signal. At least I could still write this diary on it. So here I am, to tired too build a shelter. Awake enough to write this. I guess I will just have to fall asleep under a tree nearby. Whether I will be alive tomorrow I do not know.Goodnight.
Dear Diary,
I feel so cold, so alone. I dont know what to do it's so dark. I'm on my own. I hear screams from all over, my class mates must be near by. But noone in sight. I crawl in to a nearby cave; I'm so tired. Everything's gone black.
June 14th. I was on my way to the airport with my friends. About 3 hours later were on the plane ready for take off! I was sitting next to Phoebe who was very exited. She kept saying random things. It was so like her! 30 minutes later we were in the air. Things were going smoothly until we hit a bad storm. Phoebe and I were laughing our heads off.(I dont think we knew how bad it would get!) Suddenly there was a big flash of lightning! Then the whole plane shook and we were upside down. Lots of people were screaming.Everything went black! "If I die, you are all great friends!" I yelled. Everyone fell silent and looked at me. Before anyone could say anything back, there was a big bang. And then I felt water on my feet.... we must be in the sea! But I know that I'm still on the airplane because I'm still in my seat. "Everyone out!" shouted Mr C.B. I ran for the door but slipped down the ladder and fell in the water! Luckily I was a good swimmer, so I swam to an enormous nearby rock. It must have been the one we hit. "Ok, Lets get to safety!" shouted Mr C.B but as soon as the words came from his mouth a big shark grabbed him! Everyone screamed again. I could only just see what was happening. "HELP, HELP!" but there was no point in shouting for help because noone could hear. I climbed onto the rock, but fell and hit my head. When I came round I was laying on the sand. I didn't remember anything. I was so wet, cold and tired, that I crawled into a cave on the beach . Then everything went black.
When I woke up it was light outside. I must have fallen asleep. I came out of the cave and walked along a lovely sunny beach. I could smell the wild flowers and fruits. Whitch remined me how hungry i was! By this time I was half way along the beach. Then I felt frightened and started to run. I get out of breth quickly and have to stop. so i lay down on the beach and hope i will get resqud soon!

Dear Diary,
I'm so scared, who thought a week of paradise would turn in a day in hell? I was so happy about our 7MW class trip to Spain but now it is a mess!!!!!
The plane was normal till that lighting hit our plane, lighting in summer who thought that would happen?
We have landed in a scary island, it has bones everywhere, dirty bones! Which means we could die, I can't die I am only 12! It is dirty and cold, and there is this scary tapping sound all the time!
How am I meant to stay clean? One bottle of shampoo for who knows a year? I going to be extra smelly, everyone will! AAAHHH!!!!!!!!
Sir won't be able to shave!!!
What are we going to eat? No chocolate! I'm not hunting or killing any animals, are you crazy!?
The boys will have to do that!
Got to go, building shelters with sticks! Not very comfy.

The plane was taking off, i was at a window seat. All i could hear was the deafening sound of baby crying, but it was all worth it to visit america. (Little did i know that we were going CRASH!) We flying over the atlantic ocean, i looked out of my window and to my amazment i saw a beautiful island the leaves were emerald and the sand was like the sun. SUDDENLY the plane was going downi was going to die...

Dear Diary,
Where the hell am I? It's horrible on my own.Why did that happen? Why did I fall out of that damned cruise ship? I hate travelling now! It all started when I found 7MW were chosen to go on a cruise to Argentina. We were all enjoying ourselves on board. laying in the pool and eating in the buffet. It was around 7 when the waves started to act up. Apparently, it was nothing to worry abput and we all went indoors. 15 minutes kater, we wer rocking around in the ship and the water was rougher. The teachers went out to see what was happening and they fell off the ship and perished. The lights started flickering on and off. Everyone started to scream. Water came gushing inside the vessel. I tried to hold on to a broken window, while I watched my friends slip away with the water. I don't know if it was tears or the water but I still felt heartbroken that I hadn't tried to save them. As I was wallowing in despair, I felt my hands slipping off the ship. It was hard to hold on but I couldn't do it any longer. The last thing I saw was my hands letting go of the window and getting pulled into the water's embrace.
Im alone, worried and hungry I sit huddled in this dark cave .Im desprate my classmates are dead. All I have hade to eat is an apple im writting this in my teachers blood and on his t-shirt it works very well. please help me. from max
Welcome to The Island, a project designed to encourage class 7MW at Thomas Tallis School (Greenwich, London, UK) to write about their fictional experiences of being marooned on a desert island. This blog is where members of the class will write their diary entries, post images and share their thoughts about the project as it unfolds. We have also created a website called The Island which will gather together ideas about how to run this project with other classes as part of an inter-disciplinary curriculum. Watch this space!
