In the Wild Jungle

?Creative Writing - Really?

In the Wild Jungle.

A monkey goes through the trees and a lion follows it.
A monkey goes through the trees and a lion follows it. A monkey goes through the trees and a lion follows it.A gorilla hangs on a branch.An anaconda hisses at me. I was scared because the snake was getting near my feet.A tiger roars in the bushes around me, as I listen to where he is.Below another snake went through the dirt and leaves and moss. Above a panther frightens me by standing and staring at me.Three elephants push down the trees.As all of these animals came towards me, I ran through the bushes and left the jungle to find safety. 

TASK:       For Room 6 to Kick It Up A Notch!

A humongous, lean, mean, fighting machine of a monkey glides through the trees like a hang-glider and a teeny weeny lion stalks it.  A teeny weeny, hungry gorilla sits on a fat, thick branch.  A strangling anaconda hisses at me as loud as a fire alarm at me.  I tremble because the snake is getting near my feet.  A proud, fierce tiger roars so loudly it pops my ear-drums in the bushes around me as I listen to where it is.  Below another 'hissing like hell snake' slithered in amongst the leaves, dirt and moss.  Up above me an ugly, very terrifying panther scares me by staring at me.  Three humongous elephants push down the trees.  As all of the very, very terrifying animals come towards me, I run towards safety and leave the jungle behind.

Written by Hugo 

A tincy wincy, mini monkey jumps like a fox with its tail burnt off and a very clumsy and famished lion creeps up. A rather fit ape clings onto a weak as branch.  A long anaconda hisses and almost gets me.  An extremely powerful hyena screams at me and I have to listen to it!  Underneath me a python went through the mud, leaves and moss... Owww!  Way up there was a panther.  It roars at me.  I am terrified.  Three gigantic elephants crush the trees.  All the animals charge at me.  I reached the S.W.A.T. and they capture and cage all the animals.

Our ‘Emergency Ready’ session with visitors from the St. John Ambulance.

Yesterday St. Johns visited our awesome school!  They taught us what to do when someone is in an emergency.  Ambulance Officer’s Daniel and David. And Ed. Officer Andrea, taught us how to bandage someone, what to dial in an emergency (which is 111) and they also showed us what they wear.  When we are in an emergency we know that they are not scary.  At lunchtime we got to go into the ambulances.  In one ambulance someone even got to lie on the bed!  I am so glad they reminded us what to do in an emergency!

Yesterday ST. John Ambulance came to school.  They taught us about what they do.  They said, “Don’t be scared because they are trying to help you.”  When you ring the ambulance they will say, “Fire, Ambulance, or Police?”  You say, “Ambulance!”  Then they will ask, “What is your address?” and “What is your phone number?”  Finally they will ask, “What happened?”  Then, “Thank you, an ambulance is on its way!”  Never be scared!  The mask doesn’t hurt – you just feel a tickle.  I loved them being here sharing with us and they said they loved being with us too!

Year 3/4 students signalling that we know the difference between the Police, Fire Brigade, and Ambulance Officers!

 

Amy got to model the gear they wear over their uniform.

 

Persaous helped Andrea by demonstrating that a stethoscope doesn't hurt, but it allows an ambulance officer or doctor to hear the beat of your heart!

The Pulse Oximeter didn't hurt Fred either - it measures oxygen levels in the blood! 

 And Sabine assured us that the Oxygen mask was certainly nothing to be scared of !

Here we are practicing how to make an emergency 111 phone call.  Here we all realised how important it is to know your address and phone number!

Here's Dave demonstrating how to use a bandage, followed by some of us giving it a go.  We discovered that applying a bandage is a good way to stop bleeding or support an injury!  Mr Jones was a very brave patient! 

Room 6 all thought that this was a very worthwhile experience!                 Thank you St. Johns!
