Today we watched a video called Iguana vs Snakes - Planet Earth II. We then had to write about how we felt and what we would be thinking if we were the iguana or the snake. It was a lot of fun writing about the suspense of the chase and for most of us, the relief! Check out the video and our writing below to see what you think!
Snake- Taylor
I'm hungry sneaking around looking. I smell something. I turn, I twist. What am I?
I am a snake looking for a smell. I sneak around. Something moves, I start chasing it. It's a iguana! My gang come along to help. We are all hungry and we want to eat today. We try our hardest but so does the iguana. We finally caught it! We try strangle it but it slips away. After it we go trying to chase it. The iguana takes a jump for its life and makes it! He climbs up and reaches the top while we are still stuck here. We slither away sadly and starving trying to look for another prey.
Unlucky Iguana- Courtney
One sandy morning I, the snake, have just spotted a very FAT Iguana. I feel like I should catch him because he would be able to feed the entire colony of snakes. I am a Sea Snake and I am very fast, fit and determined to catch that Iguana. So I slither over and I see the Iguana has frozen with fear because he saw me coming towards him. As soon as I twitched his tail he was on the run and I was after him like a cheetah chasing a water buffalo. Then suddenly…. My colony wrapped around his legs, body and neck….. But just then he managed to squeeze out and started to run again up the cliffs. Now I was Angry and really wanted him for lunch so I chased him up the cliff. He started jumping over gaps. One of my friends fell down the crack but I swerved and almost got him when…… I slipped down a giant gap in the mountain and fell down. But luckily I wasn’t dead and even though the Iguana got away, in the gap was full of dead meat piled on top of each other so I called my colony and we lived in the cave for the rest of our lives and never ran out of meat.
The Lucky Iguana- Esther
I was sitting on the sandy land of Africa when suddenly a snake slithers up to me. I stay as still as I possibly can hoping it will go away. It starts to go away. OH NO, I move! The snake slithers back, it comes up to me. I run like lightning for my life. Now all the other snakes are chasing me then suddenly one of the snakes catches me by the neck, then another hops on top of it. But I squeeze my way out and I manage to get to the rocks. I jump and the snake falls down the hole. Yes, I am safe! I am so relieved! I was so worried when I was being chased by the snakes. Now I am here with my mates and I can relax.
Snake and Lizard- Bree
Hi, this is lizard here. I am sitting in the snake area but I can hear a slithering noise coming from behind me. Suddenly I could see a snake coming up at me out of the corner of my eye. Omg! I start running and the snake is chasing me. His friends keep on appearing out of nowhere but I am running my fastest and I am ahead of them. To be honest they are really slow and skinny so I slow down. But what I couldn’t see were the snakes ahead of me and they bury me! So I wiggle and wiggle and wiggle around. Finally, I get away! I jump up and I am safe and sound back with my family. I am really lucky! Since they are skinny they might die because they have not had food in a long time.
Lizard- Emily
I was out sunbathing when a snake was slithering toward me! I faked that I couldn't see him then all of a sudden he was right behind me! As soon as he touched me I sprinted away. I was running like the wind and then there were millions of snakes trying to get me. Now I was freaked OUT! Next, I was getting strangled by about 3 snakes but somehow I managed to escape from them! I was running so fast on the rocks and snakes were everywhere. I was scared I would die.
Snakes and Lizards- Tristan
Snakes are predators to lizards. They fight when they get too close to them. The lizards feel fear when they are near. The snakes feel anger towards the lizards. The snakes have to slide around because they have no legs.
Lizard- Kordelia-Rose
I was on the bumpy rocks resting until I spotted a snake chasing after me. When I saw the snake I was feeling worried and afraid. The snakes starting chasing after me so I zoomed away from them but they just kept getting closer and closer. I ran faster and faster but then the snakes caught me and wrapped me up. I started to wriggle my way out of the snakes and then I finally made it out! I tripped over but I got back up and zoomed away like a cheetah. Oh no! The snakes have got me one more time but luckily I managed to get out again and finally I got home to my lizard family. I was so relieved.
