Free Writing Friday
When they ran to the cave they sat there for a long time. Finally they came out so they ran out. They ran to the town. This was the biggest town in England the dinosaurs were on their tail. They ran as fast as they could. How long, they did not know but they finally got to the town. They raced over to the closest person and he told him what had happened. When they finished the man was astonished. He raced over to the Prime Minister, he told him. Then he said to his guards go stand by the gate and watch if a dinosaur comes, shoot it with a stun gane and try not to kill it. The guards did as they were told and the Prime Minister said to the townsfolk in a loudspeaker, ‘We’re going into lock down’. A siren came on and everyone ran to ther house and locked their house. All was quiet apart from a scream coming from the front gates.

Tsunami Evacuation
We wrote a recount about our evacuation experience.
Teacher Edit
Last Friday we went up the hill. At first I felt anxious. When we had got halfway up I was sweating, we stopped to have lunch. After lunch we carried on up the hill when we got to the top over the hill the view was spectacular. I could see the beach and the school looked tinsy tiny. I was worried for my family and my animals. When we got the message that it was safe and we could go back down, I was relieved that my dad was okay. I gave him a hug, we went home but I still felt a bit scared. I thought that the tsunami would get us overnight. In the morning it was still fine. I went back to school on Monday and everyone was fine too. Whew!

Tractor Trek - Big Feelings
On Friday the school walked onto the field. I was astonished with what I saw, I was amazed. It was the Tractor Trek. I just stopped and stared, I did not move! Meanwhile a lady called Cat was talking about big feelings. When it was almost finished the lady threw a hammer at us. I was so relieved when I found out that it was a fake hammer. It gave me a heart attack.
