The podcast includes 3 story starters
- A walk in the woods, written by Jessie.

The podcast can be used as a stimulus to create your own story starts or to continue the stories we have started. we hope you enjoy it. :) .

Absolutely brilliant, St. Jude’s!

I really hope that others will pick up your stories and continue them - I’m looking forward to “A walk in the woods Part 2″, “Nonlight part 2″ and “The Classoom of Doom Part 2″. What will happen next?

Great use of sound effects and music. I also love the way you’ve mixed in distant voices to create a genuinely “spooky” atmosphere. You should be really proud of yourselves.

Wow, edge of the seat stuff guys. Very effective use of sound effects to match the mood of stories. I wonder whether children from another school could respond by finishing off one of the stories?

We loved the whole effect! The music, the sound effects and the descriptions. Non light was a great title. We are writing science fiction stories today and feel very much more motivated by your pod cast.
Thanks and well done teacher too.

Hey, these were great scary story starters. We loved the sound effects. Some of us thought the walk in the bush was the MOST scary and we thought the empty beach and the boy chasing his own echo was the funniest.

Have you finished the stories, and can we hear them if you have?

Now, we are going to write our own scary stories.
