Day 5 - Activity 1

Activity 1:After a few hours in the car, you, your group and Curious Kiwi arrive at your first stop – The Lewis Pass Scenic Reserve. It is a beautiful, regional park located at the base of the Southern Alps. You and your group get out of the van and follow Curious Kiwi. He is going to lead you on a short walk through the park. As you start walking, you notice a really cool looking tree on the side of the trail and you stop to take a closer look. When you turn back, the group (and Curious Kiwi) is nowhere to be found. Eek! You are all alone in the middle of a strange forest.

For this activity write a short story (8-10 sentences) about what might happen next. Please be sure to include lots of details about what you might be feeling, seeing and doing after you realise that you are all alone in the forest...

I shouted out to curious kiwi and the rest of my group with frightens inside of me. After I shouted no one replied so that made me think about  more scary things that could happen. I started walking slowly and moving my head left to right, up and down to check if I was safe.

Suddenly I heard a weird, creepy high pitched voice somewhere in the forest at the back of me. I ran as fast as I could but at the same time when I was running I was wondering where they could be. I tripped over a branch and got back up again, I was so tired that I didn’t even have anymore energy to run anymore. As my head looked up I saw someone standing with a back pack and so I called them for help.

As he turned around it was one of the people in my group, I told him of what had happened and he said that they were looking for me and when I went I saw my group again. I was so relieved and happy.
