This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:
Ziggy was a squirrel and liked to keep fiT. Ziggy wasn’t just fit but sEnsible and clever. One moRning, she decided to go on a treck up the mountain. She took her hand-sewn backpack and packed inside a delicious lunch, a flag, (for when she had made it to the top) and a big piece of bark. Then she planned her route. Ziggy walked through the Friendly forest till she got to her starting point - which was the bottom of Mount Chipmunk - “Lets do this!” Ziggy thought to herself as she stood on a mossy rock. On her first try, she failed and on her second try it didn’t go too well either. “Humph! this is like having to resit a maths exam!”, exclaimed Ziggy. But Ziggy wasn’t just any old squirrel, she was a determined squirrel. So, on her third try, Ziggy huffed and puffed till she was red in the face but it was worth it cause guess what? SHE MADE IT!!! “Finally!”, she declared, feeling proud and pleased. She placed her maple leaf flag on the top of the mountain as she beamed with pride. “And now...” smiled Ziggy, “Time for my lunch!”. Sighing happily, she opened her bag and took out a dandelion sandwich, an apple and a box of walnuts. Then, after she had finished, Ziggy took out the big piece of bark and set it on its back. And can you guess what happened next? She put her bag on her back and jumped on the piece of bark. The bark tilted and leaned forward till Ziggy was sliding down the mountain and calling, “WOO HOO!” and, “YAY! This is so fun!”. Now at the bottom of Mount Chipmunk, Ziggy walked back though the Friendly forest and noticed all the wonderful colours on the leaves, she also noticed how quickly she drank when she was thirsty.
This is my version:
It was a key TimE foR Aaron. In the summer his life was in a bit of a mess and for the English and maths exams he'd only obtained a grade 4. In November he sat nervously in the exam room waiting to resit his English and maths exams. In English he looked at the first question. It was to write a short story describing a long distance treck over arduous conditions. Since Aaron had actually done something similar, it was easy for him to do. This gave him confidence for the rest of the exam and he felt pleased with the final result. In the maths exam, he had to find the best route on a graph of nodes and vertices using Dijkstra’s algorithm. This had been one of the hardest subjects for him to grasp so he had done a lot of revision for it. Because it was fresh in his mind, he was soon able to solve the question and go onto the next.
