Wri ng Workshop with Mr Day  

THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF VILKAS 

One day in a quiet li le town in Madagasca the people of Manchuda were celebra ng the annual Hun ng Fes val (which is a er Thursday.) 

 

Farkas was the champion of the Hun ng Fes val. Vilkas was one of the few contestants from the fes val but he always came last. Vilkas was fast asleep when he awoke to a strange sound. He got out of bed to go have a look. The sound was coming from the jungle. 

Chapter 2 

Vilkas went deep into the jungle. The sound was now becoming quieter and quieter… un l it stopped. Vilkas scavenged through the dirt and found a stone trap door. He tried opening it but it was no good. It needed something. But then he found a note. It was a poem. He read it out loud and the trap door opened. “Wow” said Vilkas. “It was a magic spell! 

 

He crawled into the trap door and saw a weird looking four eyed creature. It screamed in high pitched terror as it ran quickly into a small hole in the door. “What was that!” Yelled Vilkas. Suddenly light shone through the trap door. “Oh no!” Yelled Vilkas “The annual hun ng fes val will be star ng”! He quickly climbed up the ladder but the door slammed shut, Vilkas fell to the floor…
