Story+1



At 8.30 in the morning, a dinosaur finished his breakfast, picked up a book and an apple. He left his house and got on the Timberlea Walking Bus. He saw Ethan, Shania, Ohbion, Tiara, Ashley and Riki. All the children were very happy to see dinosaur. When they got to school, they unpacked their bags and then went and told the principal that a dinosaur had come to school. (Part 1 by Maoribank School) The principal was very surprise d to see a dinosaur at school. However she liked dinosaurs and agreed that he could stay. "What's your name?" asked the principal.

"Freddy," answered the dinosaur. "Freddy," said the principal, " You can stay at school, but you must be good and responsible or you will have to come and see me."

"Okay," said Freddy and off he went to class with the children.

Freddy learnt to write his name and to sing songs about the alphabet. After play, during which Freddy fell over and needed a plaster from the principal, the class settled down to do story writing. Freddy didn't like storywriting and started to be naughty. He ate all the paper and threw the scraps around the room. The teacher was not pleased. She sent Freddy off to see the principal...

... The principal talked to Freddy. "You have been very naughty. You will have to finish your work outside the office. Th en you can clean up your classroom." While he was picking up the paper off the floor, Freddy saw a green bin.

"What is this bin for?" he asked the children. "It is for putting our paper scraps in so they can be recycled and made into something new," they replied. "Paper is made from trees so when we recycle we help to save our forests." "WOW" said Freddy. "I never knew that." The bell rang for lunch and Freddy and the children skipped off to get their lunch boxes...
