Zealandia writing reflection

Our class has been learning about the places that we will be attending to when we head to Wellington. I wrote an imaginative piece of writing that shows everything Zealandia. I put every important fact from the information report into an imaginative piece of writing. I found it easy to put the key facts into a piece of writing and add the detail that my writing needed to make it more outstanding. I found it hard get more ideas that would go with my writing. I really enjoyed creating imagination to design detail that would go into my writing.  Here's my writing.

      

I stare outside the bus window, watching the birds fly beside me and the reptiles camouflaging into the dark green leaves. Everyone on the bus is being as noisy as chirping crickets, no one pays attention to the view of native birds and reptiles, only me. The bus comes to a complete stop. Some students jump off the bus and go to the toilet, before we head of. When there’s only me, waiting in the second to last seat of the bus, but then I decide to go...  as I come out from the toilet, the bus has disappeared, gone.

“Why would they leave me here” I think to myself. I’ve been waiting at the stop for over three hours, the sun was setting, the day was getting colder and even the far landscape is almost a turning pitch black. I walked towards the road, looking right and left before crossing, then I reached the bush... and found a sign with only saying half a message.

As the day got darker and the warm sun air went cold I began to get tired, so sleepy that I couldn't see the branch that tripped me up. “Chirp chirp, squawk”. I gasp and wake up, the birds had led me to their hideout where they knew I’d be safe. Their habitats were amazing!!, the graceful waterfalls flowing throughout the forest and the rushing breeze blowing the trees back and forth.

but all of a sudden… “Thump, thump” the noise gets louder and louder until… “Bang!!” the gecko's head popped out of the shadows and gave everyone a terrific fright. As many of us were being gulped down the gecko’s throat, I woke up… The trip to Zealandia was over we finally arrived to school. “Honestly I’m relieved it was just dream and not in real life”.
