Kobe's Snake Vs Iguana Story
One snake approached me, slithering on the rocky beach.
Speedily I dashed off. More snakes drifted out from the hot rocks. Hundreds, maybe thousands, trying to circle me.
Sprinting desperately, I was running for my life, but a snake trapped me in its slimy ball. Squirming and struggling, the snake gave in and gave me a chance to break free. Again, I started to run across the plains.
As more Snakes popped out of the rocky crevices, one gave chase!
Just in time, my body vaulted over a huge crack in the rock. I leapt up to the top and to safety.

Ashton's Iguana Vs Snakes Writing
Snakes vs Iguana
The Iguana eyes the hatchling as it flicks its forked tongue.The snake’s eyesight is poor but it can detect movement. If the Iguana keeps his nerve he may be able to avoid detection.
A secondary snake slithers near, ready to strike. When the attack comes, the Iguana, with quick reactions, swiftly sprints away.
Several snakes approach, a dozen more twist around the Iguana trying to trap it in a writhing ball. With all of his might, he breaks free. A King Cobra chases him, desperately needing a meal or it will starve.
Finally, the Iguana leaps to safety. A near miraculous ecscape for the Iguana.
Now he is aware of the snake’s talent, but the snake will be waiting for its next prey.

Rohan's Snake Vs Iguana
Iguana vs Snakes
As I stayed on smooth sand, I was hoping that the snakes didn’t strike at me. One of the snakes was getting closer.
I felt scared to death. Bang! The snake attacked me. I ran as fast as my legs would take me, hovering over the snakes.
One snapped me with its sharp fangs, but that did not stop me. As I got away, one was right behind me. I got on my concrete ledge rock and I was safe.

Christiaan's Iguana vs snake Writing
I saw a snake slithering
towards me. I stood still like a rock.
Suddenly he bit me but he missed.
I was running so fast, but lots more snakes came and there were so many shells
to run over, but shells weren’t going to kill me. Hundreds of snakes surrounded
me, then I escaped their force field, and they were trapped.
“Ha take that, snakes!”
Then they slithered out. I saw
a hole and I jumped, just in time, because one snake almost struck me with his
poisonous fangs but he fell in the hole. I surged up to the very top and that’s
where I saw my family.

Peyton's Iguana vs Snakes story
Read Peyton's wonderful writing, and watch her read it herself on the video below.
Iguana vs Snake
As I watched
around me like an eagle for enemies, I found out that I was on a very shelly
beach. Suddenly, I felt a bump on my spine. Looking behind myself, I noticed a
snake.
A second later,
I was confident to start running. At
first, there was only one poisonous snake that could kill me, then suddenly a
thousand came slipping out of the rocks.
I kept saying to
myself, “I can do it ! Just keep going!’‘
But before long,
they caught me in a giant ball.
Terrified, I
struggled to get out of their poisonous cuddles that were trying to trap me.
With one
enormous burst of energy, I made it out and managed to
leap onto an enormous rock. Finally, I sprang
to safety.

Pod 7's Writing responses to "Iguana vs Snakes.
Iguana vs snakes
Iguana vs Snakes
Iguana vs Snakes
It
was a lovely day until “snap!”
I
ran as fast as I could on the sharp shells. Through the slippery rocks.
“ Oh
no!” The slimy snakes tangled around me.
Finally
I escaped back up the rocks.
I
tried and tried to get up on the cliff but my claws were slipping.
Fortunately
I made it safe and sound.

IGUANA VS SNAKES
Noticing a snake slithering around me, I was nervous.
The second snake went for the attack. I ran for my life. It was
depending on me. I zapped desperately through the
sand. I crashed into snakes constricting me. I escaped
by leaping over a little ravine. Sprinting up a hill, I was safe
home.

Iguana vs
snakes
A snake quivers then slowly slithers
after the iguana.
The snake jumped onto the iguana.The iguana sped off.
Some more snakes approached. One snake bounded over another snake. The iguana
got trapped by a ball of twisting snakes.The iguana used his legs to run fast.
A snake used its power to try and kill the iguana.The snake climbed some rocks,
using the powerful muscles in its body.
Finally the iguana reached the top. It grabbed onto a
strong rock and pulled its legs up. It was safe. The snake stopped. It
was not able to touch the high rock so it slowly slid back down and hid under
the rocks, waiting silently for its next feast.

Iguana vs Snakes
Snake circles the lguana as he goes deeper. The lguana does not see the
snake as it camouflages in the rocks.
TAP! TAP! The lguana sprints to safety.
Snake’s friends sprint out of the rocks and try to catch him. He sneaks
out and bounces up the rock. Snake grabs for his tail, but lguana’s tail slides
out like a pro. He sprints to a deep hole, almost falling into it, but his
skills lift him out.
He sprints as fast as any lguana could. He bounces up as the snakes try
to climb up after him.
The lguana is safely home with his mother and rest of his family.

Iguana vs Snakes
CHOMP!!! The gigantic snake
bit me.
“Ouch.”
There were nearly 300 deadly snakes
chasing after me.
I was running for my life. I ran
furiously along
the beach.
“Oh no.” I thought. “They’re catching up!”
About twenty vicious snakes
surrounded me, hoping that I wouldn’t be able to get out.
Sliding and struggling, I finally pushed
my way out of their deadly grip.
I leaped onto the rocks and jumped over a
deep crack.
Finally I found safety and I was so glad I
never saw the snakes again.

Iguana vs snakes
I`m standing as still as the stones
beneath me.
Ok, the snakes are gone.
“Ow! Now I’m sprinting with snakes
attacking me.
I am caught!
Struggling with all my might I
escape from the
constricting slithering ball of snakes.
Climbing with all my strength, I jump with my legs reaching out like a
grappling hook.
I have made it home.

Ethan's Lightning Town Story
Destroying lightning boomed and cracked. A hand slammed on the window. If you dare to enter you will become prey. I nervously opened the cracking door and surprise! I was not expecting to see my friends.
Oh no, they are not my friends! There is zombie! What do I do?
Run!
Where do I go? I know, upstairs. No! a clown! Run back downstairs. Alien outside?
Yes!
I sprint outside hoping I survive. Oh, my knife! I left it inside.
