Nina's Butterfly Lion writing

Today we wrote about how Bertie met and rescued the Butterfly Lion for the first time. We retold the story in our own words. We focused on hooking in the reader and using Wow words.

Here is ( Birthday Girl!!) Nina's  writing- we were all impressed with how she used great words to create a picture in our minds.....

Bertie woke up with a start to hear the sound of lapping at the water hole. He rolled out of bed and staggered towards the window. As he looked out he saw a tiny cub, but sadly it was brown not white  Then suddenly the cub stopped lapping and stared at something.  Bertie stared too because there at the water hole were three hyenas circling the cub. Bertie ran screaming from the house not hesitating to open the gate... By Nina.
