Emily sent in a story and some photos of her holiday in Auckland. Thanks Emily. What a great story! I love your fantastic descriptions and hooks. Well done.
On Friday... I went to the Zoo, just the other day! And what do you think I saw? I saw little monkeys climbing up trees and scratching their bellies! I said, "Gran, I want to be a camel or a swinging monkey too" and she said... "You have not got a tail or a pocket in your front so you have to settle for you." One of my favourites was the orangatuns. They were so hairy I jumped out of my skin and screamed "AAAAAARRR!"
On Saturday... "Wow, look at the waves crashing upon the surface." We were sitting on a boat. It was whizzing through the shimmering water. "Yipee, we're here." I got my face scketched! I got a juice from the shop, it was great.
On Sunday....We got up bright and early because we just couldn't sleep, nibble nibble, hop hop. The Easter Bunny had come! We got in our clothes to go to the beach, I saw lots of beautiful shells which I picked up and put in a bucket. We made a sandcastle and jumped over waves. We did lots of other cool stuff at the beach. After lunch we went to Butterfly Creek. We saw lots of colourful rainbow butterflies. There was a farmyard and I got to ride on a train and hold a cute white fluffy bunny. The bunny had chocolate on it's back!!! I had a great holiday in Auckland.
