Room 17 were learning all about the jungle. We had been reading lots of books and finding out what animals lived in the jungle. We decided to go on a field trip to the Amazon! We all climbed onto the magic couch and pushed the red button. Once the button was pushed we whoosed through the air until we landed with a huge thump on the ground.
We looked around and we could see piranha jumping in the water. They were being chased by some beautiful pink river dolphins. We looked to the jungle and saw three golden snakes slithering up a tree, some tiny monkeys swinging on the vines, they were screeching and squawking noisily, some dart frogs sitting on what we thought was a log. Then the log moved and we realised that it was a big, scary, spiky crocodile. It made an enormous splash as it started to move towards us on the bank of the river. Iona screamed a terrrified scream. It was sliding up the river bank and had almost reached where Justin and Rion lay unconscious. Ewan and Patrick grabbed them by the legs and pulled them to safety.
We were all so scared, terrified, frightened and excited all at the same time. We decided to learn about the Amazon from the safety of our classroom, so we all rushed back to the magic couch and whoosed back to Room 17. Phew, we were safe, but we were also fascinated by what we had seen. We might make a return journey next week.
