KIDS’ PAGE

One day there was a big bang at the door on the shed. I went outside, I was very scared. There were lots of bats fly-ing around me. I was so scared I bumped in to something really big, I stopped and I brought my head up really slowly. It was a monster. I ran away as fast as I could. By Aliya S, age 6, room 7. I was on level 2 of the bike track. Level 3 is too hard for kids. By Greer H, age 6, room 8.
