Poppy's amazing narrative
Chapter One:
I was happily playing at the beach. The fresh breeze blew through my hair as I span around and around. I could taste the salty sea and I could smell my fires flames burning. I could hear the birds squawking and I could see lovely dolphins jumping out of the sea and back in again. I fall asleep by the fire it was so warm and relaxing

Chapter Two:
I woke up and looked around, I was alone on a sandy island. I don’t know how I got here. I felt sad because there was no one to play with. I was hungry and tired. So I built a hut.

Chapter Three:
I began to explore the island. I found some food and took it into the hut and made a bed, a pillow and a blanket to keep me warm out of leaves and wild chicken feathers. I found an old flag off a ship and used that as a blanket and another flag off a ship which I stuffed full of feather and lay it on the ground.

Chapter Four:
I found a bag with a bottle of water, a pencil and some paper with it. I wrote on the paper:
“Whoever has this letter please take me home or else I will die here. I am alone on an island with not much for food or water. from Poppy Kirkham”. I drank the water quickly as I was very thirsty. I then rolled the note up tight, placed it in the bottle and threw it far out to sea.

Chapter Five:
the next day I uncovered a treasure map in the sand. I followed the map and it took me to the skull cave, the dark and scary woods and a deep dark cave. After that there was a tree which has ghosts living in it. Next came the slimy slippery rocks and near that there was a box of treasure. There was a lot of gold. If I ever get off this island I will never need any more money for the rest of my life.

Chapter Six:
I spied a ship on the horizon. I thought this would be my chance to escape and get off this lonely island. I waved my hands madly at the ship. It must have spotted me as it turned and started to come closer and closer. I was so excited to be finally free. My joy turned to horror as I saw the pirate flag blowing in the wind as it came closer and closer.

Chapter Seven:
I ran to hide in the vines. The vines blocked me from being seen from the pirates. I knew they were looking for my treasure. I could only see black but when I looked down I could see my feet only a little bit. They searched and searched but had no luck finding my treasure or me. They left soon and I watched the ship disappear out to sea.

Chapter Eight:
I heard a thundering noise of a helicopter approaching the island then it landed on the islands beach I didn’t want to leave the island. But I am leaving; I can’t wait until mum bakes my favourite apple pie. I was dying for a hot shower. I think I am going to have the apple pie for breakfast, dinner and desert tomorrow. When I got in the helicopter mum, she was so happy to see me. As we took off the island became a tiny speck in the distance, I felt happy that I was finally safe.

Term 3 already!
I hope you all have had a fantastic break and are all refresh and energised for another brilliant term! I am very excited to be back at school tomorrow, and I know you will be too.
What have you been doing over the break? I have been keeping very busy getting everything ready for term three and finding some really fun things for us to do. We will be learning all about the Olympics this week and watching the games when they begin (11 days to go... I'm very, very excited). We will also be learning more about multiplication - we will master the times tables - and then we will be moving on to division for maths. For writing we are going to look at descriptive writing and describing people, places and things. I'm looking forward to reading more amazing stories. - you are all brilliant!!
I have also been keeping very busy playing and chasing after Zack, who turned two in the holidays. We had a great time on his birthday we went to a plane museum and to the zoo in Auckland, where we got to feed a giraffe.
