Room 2's Natureland trip



Damian the biggest monkey in the Jungle

John with the dead rat
On the 1st of June 2011 Room 2 went on a trip to Natureland Zoo. Our tour guide was Christine and she started off by telling us alot of information about the tuatara because that was our topic. Then she said we can't see the tuatara because it is hibernating. Just after that we found a dead rat near the playground and John the zoo keeper kicked the rat near Emma's Mum and suddenly everyone started laughing.Then Christine brought out Ricky a Tuatara in glass form and she gave everyone a chance to pat 'glass form' Ricky and when I touched him he felt very scaly and  rough. Then it was time for morning tea and a chance to visit some of the animal enclosures. After Morning Tea we sat back down and listened to some more information like a Tuatara can drop off its tail and then she brought out some confiscated animals like a Crocodiles head, a turtles shell, some tuatara skin, a Scorpion in a frame and a sawfish's tooth (a prehistoric swimming reptile). Next we had a car group challenge with even a fear test when you had to put your hand in a bucket and guess what it was. It ended up to be a plastic giant weta. Next we had lunch and a chance to see the Capuchin monkeys being fed. They were so funny. Now it was time to go to the beach. Fnd out what happened in the next part of our beach adventure in part 2.

Wolf Writing


Here are some master peices of writing from Room 2.


I opened the tent to see a blood sucking pebble-eyed wolf. From the moment I saw him I knew I could be served on a silver platter.


His eyes looked like the moon shining down on the ground and its ears were pointed up just like shards of glass. The saliva coming out of his mouth was a waterfall. The colour of his fur was a sort of creamy white like a milk chocolate bar.

His teeth were sharp knives about to go into my flesh. To him I am the chew toy and he’s the dog. One bite from this dog could do a lot of damage. His tongue was rough and shiny just like a frog. He had as many rows of teeth as a whale and sharp teeth as sharp as a sharks.

I open the tent flap and stumble out.




There I came face to face with a meat eating beast.


His teeth are sharp knives with bits of dead animal flesh in them.

Saliva dripped out of his watering mouth like rain falling from the sky making huge puddles right in front of my feet.

His fur is sticking up like big bits of wire getting ready to pounce.

He glares into my eyes like saying he’s starving to death.

He creeps closer and closer still.

His nose is a black night sky, smelling fear.

His ears turn back as he struggles to hear movement. His tongue is a scaly crocodile. I rush back indoors and hope it was a dream.

I Zipped the door of the tent and I saw a Wolf.


His beady looking eyes looked at me as if to say, “You’ll taste good on a platter.”

The wolf’s wet strong sniffer of a nose smelt me out.

The fresh saliva dripped onto his creamy soft coat of fur.

The saliva was wet and cold like ice.

His gums were red from his tasty meal. I just sat and stared. His sharp knife-like teeth chomped up and down like scissors at the hair dressers.

His long wiggly tongue licked around his hard lips and his sharp pointy ears pricked up to see if I was still there.

I pushed my way through the trees, into the clearing and saw it. A wolf stood with fluffy brown back fur, and an evil expression on its face.


Its eyes were set back in its head, yellow like crumpled sunflowers, furious, glowing sunflowers.

Sharp teeth like daggers reflect the fear on my face.

Its ears are back against its head as if it’s straining to hear something.

Streams of saliva flowed out of his open mouth and were blown along the length of its body by the wind, finally falling to the damp ground by his bushy tail. Grey and white fur engulfs its body, and is constantly moving like a tent in the middle of a storm.

A small, black nose is constantly twitching as it sniffs out its prey - ME.

The wolf’s tongue is a snake, wriggling around in its mouth, its home.

Slowly I back into the bush and begin the long hike home. I was too scared to stay here!!!!!
