Creative Writing

Following our trip to Toitu and the Chinese Gardens earlier in the week, we decided to use the pictures we had taken as imaginative story starters.

Ahhhhhh finally I escaped to my secret hideout. When I am here it feels so peaceful, hearing the birds chirp softly and the rustling of the trees. Suddenly I hear a noise, at first I thought it was just a bird but then ...uggggh it’s my super annoying brother. now he knows about my secret hideout and he is going tell all of his friends! well I guess it’s time for me to find another secret hideout, it will be impossible to find a place so peaceful and beautiful. :(

Once upon time I was trying to find my friends. So I was walking with my friends in China and I said “let’s go this way” and they said “yes”. So we kept on walking, then there were two ways to go. I said “go this way” they said “no we need to go this way” - “fine” I said. We were looking at the beautiful gardens it was amazing. We then stopped and had food, we sat down and looked around, we made flowers bracelets they were cool. So then we got up and carried on walking “is everyone here” I said. They said “yes that’s good”. One of my friends needed to go to the toilet, so then we stopped and waited for her. So then she found us and I said to them “let's carry on walking” and I went super fast . “I lost them” I said they were just behind me just a minute ago I went around in circles. Then I was trying to find them it took ages I said to people “have you seen my friends they have blonde hair and brown hair, have you” they said “no sorry, would you like me to help you” and I said “no thanks”. After that I was nervous I was thinking about could they have fallen off the the rock or what if they got kidnaped. But then ... I found them. They were sitting outside the toilets I was so glad that I find them AND that’s how I lost my friends.

As I'm walking on the street I found a key with chinese writing on it. I could read just a little bit and I followed it round the road until I came to something big and something amazing. I walked in and I took myself on a little tour. I saw a little pond and you could see the wind moving the water and trees I went through and looked at the lanterns.
