Endangered Narratives

As part of our endangered species inquiry we are creating narratives based on the threats our animals face. In writing our orientation we want to be creative and informative at the same time. Here are some that are hitting the nail on the head...

The sun stood innocently in the Spanion sky falling further with every minute that passed, and when twilight set in the night shift started. Under the still darkening sky the compressed muscular body of the lynx stretched her long hind legs and her powerful jaw in the cooling mountain air...

... Koa was awoken from the hissings of the snakes rummaging below to find their prey; he hoped that he was not the next one in line. He could hear his tummy rumbling and he reached for his most favourite food of all, eucalyptus leaves. ...


As the towering pines catch the incy raindrops on their delicate leaves you hear a lot of interesting sounds in the humid forestry . The slight sound of powerful waterfalls that could take a small fragile figure barreling down to its wavy falls . Trees whispering here and there make you realise this unusual sound seems like its trying trying to comfort you somehow letting you know you’re not the only one it this piece of forestry land ...


The sharp breeze whipped through the bare pines and shook the frosty snow off the leafless branches. The snow seemed to fall in slow motion but finally it landed on the back of a raccoon that was scurrying away. The sun was up travelling through the bright blue sky. Its rays hit the snow turning every last bit of it into a sparkling new world. A polecat stretched and hurried off to find some breakfast. Far away in the distance woke the roar of an engine, an engine of a huge yellow beast that could tear down the whole Taiga in one lift of its enormous tongue. ...

Come along to the Science and Technology Expo in week 10 to read the rest of our narratives.
