Recently in Room 4 we have been writing about Wellington, because we are going for our Room 4 camp there in 2 days. I really enjoyed writing the I imagine a night because it was just taking out parts of our Imaginative story about Wellington. Mine was about Wellington Zoo. I found it hard to stop, because I enjoyed doing it so much.
Here is the imagine a night writing.
Imagine a night . . .
Imagine a night . . . When a flash in the corner of your eye takes your whole class away.
Imagine a night . . . No one, anywhere, all gone, enclosed in the jaws of the lion's cage.
Imagine a night . . . On the wrong side, of the wrong fence.
Imagine a night . . . Swinging through the tree with the playful monkeys.
Imagine a night . . . When fast becomes slow on tired legs.
Imagine a night . . . Waking up under a quilt of playful monkeys.
Imagine a night . . . Waking up for a time of adventure.
Imagine a night . . . Playing with mighty elephants, fisty lion’s and the playful penguins.
Imagine a night . . . That ended with the time of your life.
Here is the imaginative writing.
My Playdate At Wellington Zoo
We had just finished the tour of the zoo, when I saw flash in the corner of my eye. I went around to have a look. But what I didn’t notice is that the whole class left and they didn’t even notice that I was missing. Time had past, the zoo had closed, no zookeepers, no nothing, only animals.
I started to get quite tired so I climbed into the sleeping lions enclosure. I thought that it was going to be safe to sleep in the corner of the cage, until I realized that I was on the wrong side of the fence, I was now in with monkeys and no they were not quietly sleeping like the lions they were wide awake swinging around on every vine in sight. I tried to scurry away but legs started to fall asleep so I just keeped going slower and slower until I decided to hide in a bush and sleep.
The next morning I was out of the bush lying on the ground with 5 monkeys piled on top of me. I kicked them off and got out to see that the zoo was closed. Yes, there were zookeepers but they were all inside having a meeting. I told myself that it was time. Time for adventure. I started by getting control of the massive Indian elephant, I rode around the whole of the zoo feeding feisty lions, yeah, I was going to ride them too but they didn’t seem to friendly at all. The elephant got put back and it was time to slide on ice with little blue penguins. I got a bit cold so I moved on to eating a sandwich for breakfast with my friend the brown capuchin. I wanted to visit the monkeys again so I got some exercise and swung on their vines.
In the end I had the time of my life. I mean who wouldn’t like to race a cheetah, bounce with kangaroos. Slide down giraffes long necks, sit on warm rocks with baboons. And best of all, sit in the sun with sun bears.
