Maxton - statue

-

One bright sunny day my family and I head out on a bush walk. The walk is long but it has a lot of cool native bushes and really detailed trees and stones. As we keep walking, getting closer and closer to the top, I glimpse the head of a weird looking statue. I run ahead of my family to get a better look. I gingerly approach the statue and it looks like a gravestone.  As I read the gravestone it talks about a soldier who died in a war in that area. I am amazed it’s where I’m standing.

    Kia ora Maxton.
    Your story here makes it easy to imagine what it would be like coming across a statue like this. I like that you made the statue have a plaque on it with information about the soldier.
    You have used some great vocabulary in your writing and this is something which you should try to do all the time. I especially like the use of the word 'gingerly' - well done.

  On one spooky dark night we decided we should go to the forest for an adventure. When we start walking through the woods suddenly we come across a creepy looking house with sticky green vines drooping from the roof of the house. We decided to go in. We saw a bright light shining from the kitchen and we approached it. Suddenly darkness enveloped the room. We were frightened shook. Suddenly a creepy lady with a smile that goes further back then normal and wide bug eyes appeared out of nowhere. We had to run to get to the car. VROOOM.

It was a day like many others. The glowing sun brightened the atmosphere as usual. The clouds flowing away as they cross the horizon. I was watching TV, when I pondered, “It's so boring nothing ever happens”, when a light suddenly covered the whole area. I was bewildered. A few minutes later everything was back to normal or so I thoug ht. I w as stranded in the middle of nowhere! W hen I had finally calmed down. I saw a mysterious tower. I was filled with curiosity so I approached it. *BZZZZZZ!* “Phew, I said in relief” It was all a dream...

  Suddenly, darkness enveloped the room. I hear a creak echo getting quieter until the room is deathly silent; I feel a terrifying shiver trickle down my back; trying to brush past my experience but I keep on thinking someone is lingering over me.  I decided to make some dinner but a hefty crash came from the other end of the room. I quickly ran up the stairs, thinking to myself “someone must have broken into my house”.  I go into my room but it feels like my room is getting smaller.  Until I hear the words that saved my life…. CUT, that's a rap.
