Tom was running. His feet were hurting, but he knew he couldn't stop because a group of gorillas was chasing him. He spotted a giant hole in a tree and without hesitating he leaped in! He saw the group run past him. He was relieved. - Tom was 23 years old. He was an explorer and he was very brave because the dark jungle was the most dangerous place in the world! He was accused of the murder of the gorilla king but actually the murderer was the king’s servant Tomas. Suddenly he heard a banging noise behind him!

good post and yes I like not having school on wednesday
ReplyDeleteA very interesting topic.

ReplyDeleteI would prefer 5 shorter days. So we can play after school everyday including the cold months
ReplyDeleteHere in England we have school Monday to Friday. I wish we had more time for music, art and sports. I have to be at school very early, but then, I AM the teacher!
