The Explorer Ponder 10

Kia ora bloggers, Millie here.

The Explorer is a very cool book written by Katherine Rundell. It’s about four children who are in a plane crash in the amazon rainforest and have to find their way to Manias. If you like adventure books I would highly recommend it. The author is very good at setting the scene and describing things using show don’t tell. The characters have very unique personalities. If you have read it do you think it’s a good book? If not then read it and find out. Blog you later.

The Explorer Ponder 5

If there were all three of those creepy creatures in the water no I would definitely not swim in there, but maybe if there was just one little Caiman and it wasn’t to close Id have a short splash around. What about you? would you swim in the amazon river with Parana Caiman and Electric Eels. Blog you later.

Hello bloggers Millie here

Recently the den ( rooms 21 and 22) have been working on dialog. We did quick writes on animal rescues. Here is mine.

 

One afternoon about five years ago I joyfully skipped into my big grassy backyard to find my tortoiseshell cat Laya was energetically bouncing around and chasing after something. Something small and black “Oy Laya what are you up to?” I quickly bent down to have a closer look. “laya stop that.” I pushed her away “Mroow” she protested. 

“Oh” I gasped. The thing that she was foolishly bothering was a small greeny black coloured skink. Laya had violently scratched his tail off but fortunately the little guy was still alive. I gently picked up the little reptile and rushed him inside to tell my dad the peculiar thing that had happened “ dad dad!” I yelled then told him the whole story . My dad said “his tail will grow back but we should put him somewhere safe until it does.” so I put him in a terrarium for a couple of days and let him out when his tail had fully grown back which was surprisingly a very short amount of time.    

Do you like it. What writing have you been working on in class. Blog you later.
