That's right - the hundred words can be anything from an interview with an animal to a play to a very short story to just a description, and the haiku are trying to catch a moment in time in a very few words. Mostly it was 'and' not 'or', once they got started - one boy wrote a bunch of poems and was starting on his second hundred words - Act 2 of a play! This is a pilot project that I'm hoping will take off - it would be so cool to do it in Deep Sea World next!
I live and write in the Kingdom of Fife, overlooking the River Tay, with a view of trees and grey slate roofs and a skyscape it would be hard to better.

Sounds as if it was a great day. Very much looking forward to reading the results.
I want to know more! Did they have to write either a haiku, or a hundred words in prose?
