Construction Workers

We used the photo of the construction workers eating their lunch while sitting on a beam. Here is the writing we came up with...

Lunch up High: I was scared, you want to know why? Because I was sitting on a crossbeam supposedly relaxed eating lunch 800 ft above the ground! I know I'm supposed to be fine with it, but I wasn't. I'll let you in on a little secret, I'm afraid of heights. Up there, my legs were jelly, my stomach was full of butterflies and my head was spinning. I knew I was going to fall any minute now! ES

Berserk!!!: 1932, The BERSERK construction workers have the brotherly skills to risk their lives every day to sit up on a crossbeam. CO

BERSERK BUILDERS: I was too freaked to look down. 210 metres is enough for me! No protection, no safety! It looked as if I would fall to my death! I looked across the cold crossbeam, my friends are eating. I'm not gonna even try to get my lunch! I'm lucky I'm still alive!! Unless they are just showing off. Then it happens, I start to feel dizzy ... I fall, it's the end, oh well, I conquered my fear, WOOHOO!!! CG

BERSERK BUILDERS: The valiant construction workers sitting on the sturdy crossbeam in 1932, hundreds of metres up above the city floor. The view is breathtaking and inspirational, as the conurbation has been industrialised over the years. Sitting on the metal platform could be a matter of life and death. These brave men have nerves of steel to be in a life risking situation. SD

Fearless dare devils hanging hundreds of metres off the ground having lunch, even napping as they wait for death. Friends and families risking their lives to help the world. AB

Once upon a time there was a country that was ruled by birds. Every species of bird lived there – Moas, Tuis and of course, Kakapos and Takahes.

Malicious murder, the eagle was thinking about its next fish. Claws piercing, making ripples in the water. The Bald Eagle sees its prey, its hunger taking over its body.

Foxes

Sneaking gracefully through the snow, keeping her eye on her prey, in her head calculating which animal she will choose, probably the most injured one because then it can't run or fly fast, making it easier for her to catch it.

Extending its fury,as it crouches camoflaged ready to strike
Seeking a victim to master its cravings its true brute coming out
No point denying it thier heartless and have no mercy
Agile but agressve ready to put up a corages fight
Knife like scales slimy and slippery
Exactly what it want its helpless prey tries to escapes but cant it must now face the wrath of the Rattle snake
