Writing from words of the day
We used our words

Mean minded Treasurer, The defendant, Living in Queensland
Five writers read
out serious and funny homework stories - The influence of labels, Chilly morning
coffee, The box syndrome, Living in a ticky tacky box and Working for the
project. David C also read two old homework stories called Blow flies and
Policing at its best.
