Squirrel's Adventure

Squirrel's Adventure      

Early one morning near the edge of forest. A hungry squirrel was foraging for nuts, while a hawk was gliding high in the sky.

The squirrel sensed something. Something was wrong, he lifted his tail before he lifted his head, very slowly. Danger! He glimpsed the silvery grey hawk with big dark grey lines on his wings, his beak was yellow and he had black feathers on the ends of his tail and wings.  His screech was evil. Fear had hold of him.   He was filled with fear and his fur puffed up.

As the hawk kept circling and screeching the Squirrel was panicking. He dug his paws into the ground. He was going to defend himself. His fur was standing up. He widened his eyes.

The squirrel’s mind buzzed in panic. He was thinking of how to get away. He thought and thought. He knew that if he bolted away the hawk would hear him. But… if he snuck away the hawk might not hear him. He was so preoccupied that he did not notice the hawk! The hawk had circled down  and grabbed him by his big bushy tail with his big yellow claws.

The squirrel wiggled and jiggled but he could not get free from the hawk’s clutches. He lifted his body and bit the hawk on the claw.

The hawk released his tail and flew off into the sky. The squirrel retreated to his home in the big oak tree. The squirrel took the time to relax. When the hawk was out of site the squirrel set off to gather his nuts, keeping one eye opened for the hawk.

It is 9:30 am. Mum had just finished saying. “Time to pick up Deakyn and go to Reefton skatepark.’’

Then Locky arrived, just in time to go. I know this is going to be the  perfect day.

The trip was good. The road was smooth and I was hungry Mum gave us a wheels packet and wooly watch. The car was a mess, we stopped to pick up Deakyn. We pretended to play video games for awhile before we arrived at Reefton skatepark.

As soon as we arrived I snatched up my skateboard, jumped on and went down a steep slope. .It was fun speeding down the slope on my skateboard. I only went down once before I tried the big dome.

After I went in the big dome I had something to eat I had a packet of chip and a ribena. After the snack I felt brave enough to hit the steeper slope. I jumped on my scooter and rolled down the steeper slope. I was getting tired now. I came back to Mum for lunch. I had a chicken bun and a sandwich. This was delicious and just what I needed to skate again.

Finally I hopped on my scooter and scootered around everywhere. By this time we were all tired but before we left we went to the dairy to get a  frozen milk shake. It was very good. We dropped  Deakyn off on the way home and travelled to Blackball skatepark.

This was the best day ever. I cannot wait until next time.

The Perfect Day

I am learning to make my writing more interesting for the reader. I know I will be able to do this when I add more detail, use interesting words and include what I can see, hear, smell and feel. I started with my brainstorm.

My Taonga

We have been learning to make connections to the people and places that are important to us.

My Taonga is a coin set.  

I have chosen my Taonga because it reminds me of my family.  

The place I am connected to is Timaru because this is where I was born.

I have been able to make connections within my classmates, to Shilah and Harry because we have all connected to  Timaru.
