Pooh Sticks by Lila and Zoe

Lila: Pooh Sticks are sticks that you drop in the river from the bridge and whoever's stick gets to the other side of the bridge first wins!
Zoe: Pooh Sticks is a game where you pick out a stick that you think will travel fast and drop it in the river from a bridge. Everyone must drop their stick at exactly the same time. Using the current, the sticks travel downstream and whoever's stick gets to a certain point first wins. 

Heather: Hmmmm.........is Pooh Sticks one word or two?

We're Going on a Shark Hunt by Zoe

     We're going on a shark hunt. We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared.  
Uh oh! A long wooden bridge! We can't go under it. We can't go around it. We'll have to go over it! 
Clip, clop, clip, clop, clip clop.


We're going on a shark hunt. We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared.

Uh oh! A long endless dune trail! We can't go over it. We can't go under it. We'll have to go across it! 
Swishy swashy, swishy swashy, swishy swashy.  


We're going on a shark hunt. We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared.


Uh oh! Tall steep dune hills! We can't go under them. We can't go through them. We have to go over them!


 Mooshy moshy, mooshy moshy, mooshy moshy.



We're going on a shark hunt. We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared.

Uh oh! Pricky sharp brushes! We can't go over them. We can't go under them. We'll have to go through them!
 Scrape scratch! Scrape scratch! Scrape scratch!


We're going on a shark hunt. We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared. 

Uh oh! A long wooden plank bridge! We can't go through it. We can't go under it. We'll have to go over it! 

        Thump bump! Thump bump! Thump bump!



We're going on a shark hunt. We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared. 

Uh oh! Long, thick dune grass! We can't go over it. We can't go under it. We'll have to go through it!
Swishy swashy, swishy swashy, swishy swashy.



*******At the Beach****** 

We feel the cold wet water. We feel a long smooth back. We feel some sharp white teeth.

Through the dune grass!

Swishy swashy, swishy swashy.

Back across the plank bridge! 
Thump bump! Thump bump! Thump bump!

Back through the brush! 
 Scrape scratch! Scrape scratch!

Back through the dunes!
 Mooshy moshy! Mooshy moshy!




Oops! It wasn't a shark. It was just Mom. She is very scary with her big, sharp, bitey teeth.
Watch out, she'll get you!
