stormy day by D.J.L

I am inside,looking outside,
listening to the bitter wind,

enormous storm coming,
clothes blowing,
lightening growling,
humongous trees creaking,
beautiful dogs running,
expensive chair crashing,

Listening to the bitter wind,
I am inside looking outside.

Stormy day

Iam inside looking outside,
listening to the bitter wind,

tables tipping,
huge hail banging
heavy rain hitting,
power lines falling,
lonely cats meowing.

Listening to the bitter wind,
I am inside looking outside.

Fables- by Room 20

Room 20 have been reading and writing Fables. This is an example of one fable written by one of the Year Six students. (K.S)

THE LION AND THE HARE

Once upon a time in a savanah by the edge of the ocean there was a lion. This lion was very selfish. One day he was out hunting and saw a hare. He ran as fast as he could and soon he cornered it. The lion was about to eat the hare when he saw a walrus by the water's edge and he ran after it.
BUT the walrus rolled into the water. The lion swam after it but the walrus was too fast for the lion and it swam away to safety. Then a shark came and bit the lion and a big wave came and washed the lion back to the shore. The lion picked himself up and went after the hare. However, the lion fell lover and hurt himself and never caught the hare.
The lion had to go hungry that day.

Moral of the story:
It is sometimes wiser to be content with what you have. (or you may end up with nothing)
