The lion king critique
The day we went to see the lion king I was really nervous because I didn’t no what it was going to be like. On the coach I sat next to Rhys and we were chatting and laughing the whole way there.
Once we finally arrived at the theatre, I was so excited. We was waiting ages for the show to actually start but once it did it was good .It started with a song and all the animals and characters came on it made u fell like u was there.
All the characters were really funny and good. Pumbaa was my favourite character because he was really funny and always made me laugh. At the break I couldn’t wait for the show to start again .when the show did start again it came on with older characters as if to say they have grown up, it was really imaginative. I liked the end as well when simba went back and they all sand a song.
It was really fun to go and a great opportunity. I wished we got to go again!

Poetry from team Pumba!
Simba
Crouching, crawling and creeping towards his prey,
Inside the brown reeds and beige dust,
Every step closer and closer,
Wait!
Watch!
Listen!
He has been spotted and the race begins,
The sheer pace of this incredible beast,
The muscle in the hind legs bulging constantly,
The grin of a clown, with teeth of icicles
Bit by bit,
Slowly but surely, edging closer with every stride,
Until the final leap,
The mane seeped in blood,
And the zebra’s legs torn clean off
Until the rest of the family get closer,
Nothing but voltures over head,
And flies buzzing,
Until the Roar of the African King!
By Alfie
The Snake
Here comes the Snake
Slithering by the lake
He spends all day
Looking for prey
Searching all night
To catch a bite
Rodent Birds Small Deer and Frogs
They even eat Termites from under logs
By Bethany
The zebras
Zebra’s hooves sound like clicking whilst running through the golden grass.
Elegantly they walk through the cool blue water.
Beautifully the fillies bat there big long eye lashes to the world.
Racing down the dusty desert to find a cold clean lake.
After waiting for the grass to grow they can finally eat some fresh new food.
Seeing the stripy animals in the sunset makes a better scene.
By Tavia
The Lioness
As she creeps and crawls through the long grass towards
the water hole, wait, Look, Listen, silently walks a few paces forwards closer, closer mouth dripping with hunger
getting closer suddenly pounces on her prey
the zebra is unlucky as it rots in the dusty plains of Africa.
By Oliver
Elephant
Eating away at the tall green trees
Leisurely swinging his trunk to and throw
Eager to make it back home safely
Plodding slowly through dirty plains
Heat from the sun beaming down on his rough skin
Alert all the time for oncoming predators
Never letting his calf out of sight
Tusks glistening white like crystals
By Gemma

Fussa - Creative Writing (Pumba)
One summer day in the heart of the African plains the tribe of Fusaa were out hunting with their spears. When the leader of the tribe turned around, he realised that the rest of his tribe, minus his brother, had completely disappeared to hunt different animals.
This harsh landscape was one that you would not want to be in on your own. With limited water supply and plenty of predators this meant that they had to conserve all energy and ration all supplies. The Fusaa were a very fierce tribe and attacked all neighbouring tribes. This was why the king was especially worried. Every night he sat and dreamt of a special crown he should own, this crown should be sacred and symbolise sheer power and leadership.
He knew he could only obtain this when he had killed the almighty King Zebra Kelkel. He turned right, looked left, thought about it and carried on. In the back of the bush, King Julian saw a large grey animal, he recognised immediately as a native African elephant, which is a very fond friend of the Fusaa tribe. He jumped on his back, and rode into the sunset towards the tribe of Marty, the hosts of King Kelkel. With each step the precious gecko on his head could smell this beautiful King Zebra.
Eventually he got to this unique tribes camp and saw this wonderful beast. As he drew his spear, and aimed for the King Zebra, he could see that there was no hope in hell that he was going to kill this zebra without dying himself. All of a sudden, the cheetah, and most of his tribe came along, to help King Julian to kill the zebra. But the fact of the matter was that in the end they all realised they were as strong as each other and there was no real winner.

Pumba's Mood Board!
On the first day, we brought in pictures, fabrics and anything that we thought of to do with Africa. We then stuck this on to a large piece of paper in an inventive way. This meant using all of our imagination to put it together in an inventive way!
This included pictures from the fair-trade group in Africa, which helps people to get a better wage for the things that they grow. We had many pictures of African people and the things that they do in there everyday life. As well as the landscape pictures we had a whole load of the animals that live in the continent.
With the pictures we split it up into four sections and put Africa in the middle. We also wrote words around, to do with Africa, for example starvation and elephants and things like that.
We learned a lot about the country’s, from Kenya to Egypt. We also learned about each others opinions of Africa and the experiences and holidays in Africa.

Africa
Hello my name is Shafiki and I live in the beautiful country named Egypt. The hot golden sandy desert is gorgeous glistening in the midday sun. The heat is immense! When you get really hot you sweat and dehydrate which causes you to see mirages. A mirage is illusions when you see thins that aren’t there. Camels, Scorpions and snakes are all amazing creatures that live in the desert. Pyramids are situated in deserts they attract many people to our country. Pyramids are made up of limestone rocks and inside them contain ancient bodies which have been mummified.
The River Nile runs through my country (Egypt). It is one of the most well known rivers in the world. Daily I collect water from the River Nile for my children and animals back home. The water isn’t very clean and it makes my children ill but it I don’t collect it we would not be able to survive.

Simba's Poetry!
The Lion
The lion runs like the speed of light,
Its sharp jagged teeth glimmer at the sight,
His dinner has finally come,
And the prey starts to run,
He catches up in a flash,
And the innocent prey ends up like mash.
The lion is now fed,
And he’s all ready for bed.
He snores beyond the beautiful night.
Then the sky is lit up with a beautiful light,
As a big bulging ball of red hot fire starts to rise,
His tail lazily swots away the flies.
By Rhys
Leopard
Creeping along the red sandy ground,
The Leopard has his eye on his prey,
Being extremely nimble and quick he gradually gets closer,
And in a flash the spotty figure pounces on its prey,
Lifting the well earned load and taking it up into the trees.
By Jack
Giraffes are very tall and walk very slow and elegantly.
In the wild they run free.
Reaching up high to food above.
Ahead is the water well where they gallop to get their daily drink.
Feeling warm but keeps on going.
Frightened when prey approaches they run to hide.
Exploring for leaves to rip off trees.
Slumbering giants of the Sahara.
By Jade
A Lions meal
The Lion creeps across the dry grass,
Ready to pounce and catch its prey.
The zebras elegantly eat grass,
Unaware of their sudden fate.
Then, thump! One of the slowest zebras is down,
Its head hits the ground heavily.
The starving lion cubs wait patiently for their dinner,
They pounce on the zebra,
Trying to enjoy their food,
As they won’t eat for days now.
Prowling Lion
Proud lion’s
Roaming the dangerous forest
Owing the poor creature close to death nothing but its respect
Waiting anxiously tall and still
Loathing that no creature comes his way,
Inspired his stomach has lasted this long
Nose twitches he smells his prey
Grabbing and killing it with no second to spare the lion has its dinner and so it ends there!
