The zoo

On a hot Wednesday morning, my class and I went to Hamilton zoo for the day.

We had to earn this trip by getting all the marbles in the jar.

When we got there, the first thing we saw were the hairy brown monkeys and they were cute. They were jumping on the silver fence and the thick grey ropes.

We saw the deer. There were two fighting with their antlers. It was funny. It looked like we were watching wrestling.

When we went in to the bird enclosure, we saw a green bird. It was as small as a mouse, and we nearly touched it.

Finally, we went to the Education classroom to learn about animals. In the classroom there was a dead crocodile, a dead tarantula and tiger skin.

I want to go to the zoo again. It is fun.                     

Tiger Chasing

One winter morning, Jack and his family went to the zoo for a day.

The first thing they saw, were the white striped tigers. When the zoo keeper came out of the cage, he forgot to shut the gate and a white striped tiger came rushing out and chased Jack. Every time it leaped, it was holding its sharp claws up in the air. The tiger was leaping and running its hardest but it couldn't get Jack because Jack was too fast. 
When his Mum and Dad saw the tiger chasing Jack, they were shocked. They screamed with terror. They ran to a zoo keeper and asked him to get some nice juicy meat to stop the tiger chasing Jack.
He grabbed some meat and threw it to the tiger. The tiger suddenly stopped when the meat landed right on its head. He flicked it off and started to eat the meat then the zoo keeper put it to sleep with a tranquilizer gun.
The zoo keeper struggled to take it into its cage so he called for other zoo keepers to help him then Jack thanked the zoo keeper and he asked if he could go home. When he got home, he said to his mum, "I don't want to go near the tigers again," and he told her the whole story.
