The Cheeky Chimp

The dark green shadows scattered across the forest floor. The glowing sun broke through towering emerald trees. The gushing sound of the cool aqua blue water echoed around the whole jungle.

The fierce tiger snarled as he heard rustling in the dark shadows. It was the cheeky chimp. His dream was to turn invisible to steal everyone’s supplies and food. He started to steal every ingredient he needed to create his own potion. The cheeky chimp laughed his evil laugh around the tree top canopy. He swooped down with his swirly vine and stealing all tigers stuff. Tiger was furious, he chomped on the chimp’s swirly vine and cheeky chimp came tumbling down. Cheeky chimp wasn’t so lucky this time.

But cheeky chimp didn’t give up, actually he planned much bigger. He decided to go to the big city and steal stuff from the famous laboratory. He swung from vine to vine and branch to branch. But it was dusk and the dark night was closing in. A storm slowly drifted over the jungle. A rolling thunder roared all night and it was hard for the chimp to get to sleep. A Lightning bolt struck and it illuminated the night sky.

In the morning the monkey made it to the city, it was much different from the jungle. The jungle was quiet and peaceful, and in the city cars beeped helicopters roared, boats splashed. Cheeky chimp was lost lonely and sad. He gave up and went back home

He apologised to all the people he stole from and gave their stuff back. The chimp that was the cheeky chimp was now the cheerful chimp.

Cross country

“One more lap to go” I thought to myself as I convinced my body to push the limits and reach my goal. It was cross country and we were all super nervous.

It was the most blazing hot day ever and I felt like I was sizzling on a BBQ. The track was damp but the sun soon changed that.

“Ready, set, go!” commanded Miss Williams as we all rushed in a hurry. Another lap I thought as sweat trickled down my face.

I paced myself to the finish line and took another deep breath and collapsed on the tarpaulin. All of a sudden I felt a cold breeze as if Jack Frost ran past and left me to freeze. I quickly clutched onto my jersey and whipped it on. I was glad it was over!

On Friday we had our school Cross Country. We had to write an exciting recount about our cross country. We used our red thinking hat to write about how we felt. We had to keep our reader interested and make them enjoy our story. We tried to include some exciting adjectives.

SPLASH!

I was dreaming away as the hot sunrays were prickling me. I was just about to fall asleep when a cloud quake struck. I fell through the clouds at high speed. Then splash!

I was just recovering from my fearful drop. I was as thin as paper. At that point I woke up to find myself in a tropical rainforest.

I was wondering where I was and all I wanted was to get back home, I thought for a while until a light bulb appeared above my head. I remembered that my parents had said “you need to listen because this will happen one day. You will fall far from home and you will need to begin a very dangerous journey. You will need to find some type of water source. But there will be enemies waiting to attack. So be careful and be ready!”

I was running proud for a moment until I saw a humongous creepy crawly. Ahhhhhhhhhh! I yelled as I sprinted through the forest. I’m safe for now I thought as a giant butterfly swooped down and swallowed me whole.

I was dangling on the slimy pink thing on the back of the butterfly’s throat. When a massive ball of saliva came and swept me off my slimy pink thing. The butterfly had been flying for a while now and I was beginning to rise. I was pretending to fly like superman until I was squeezing through the skin.

I closed my eyes as I was ready for another drop. But there was a different sound this time. PLOP! “I was safe,” I thought. As I checked around for other dangers. Suddenly I started feeling dizzy and there was a blur of a giant golden ball. I was flying higher and higher until I landed back on my white cuddly cloud. I couldn’t believe what I had been through.

I was drinking coconut milk dazing away and I was just about to fall asleep when a cloud quake struck. ‘Not again” I thought to myself.
