The Runaway Hen
Some weeks ago, a dog came racing down the road outside our school with a hen in its mouth. It caused much excitement as it dropped the hen underneath the car of our tin-whistle teacher, Angela. Many words of encouragement were used to entice the hen out from underneath the car, and eventually the hen crept out. She was shaken but still alive. She didn't have a interest in learning spellings or tables so it was decided to return her to her suspected owner. So the hen was popped into a nearby car, with a willing driver and hen-carrier and sent safely back to her home. It inspired us to write the following articles.
Hi my name is Nicole and this is a story about a hen that came to my school .The school is called Inver National School this is what happened. It was Tuesday and the tin whistle teacher was at the gate of the school and a dog came running down the road with a hen in his mouth. The tin whistle teacher ran out in front of the dog and the dog dropped the hen. Then the hen ran under the tin whistle teacher's car and would not come out. So we got a brush and put it under the car. She came out and Mrs.Connolly, my teacher caught the hen. The dog had bitten the hen on is leg and the teacher cleaned the bite We did not know who the hen belonged to so we asked a girl in the school but she said that the neighbour who lived be side her had hens. So we brought him house and the man was very happy to have his hen back.
It all started at school one day. It was a Tuesday. You see we have tin whistle practice every Tuesday. Angela is our teacher. On her way to our school, that day as she was driving when she noticed a dog coming out in front of her, As she got closer she saw that the dog had a hen in its mouth. I think he must have chased the hen and then killed it when he caught it. But when the dog saw the car coming towards him he dropped the hen and it went under the car. Angela didn't know what to do. She went into the school. Mrs. Mangan came out and so did Martina. Mark and Conor were in the yard. At last they got the hen out from under the car. Then they went over to 6th and Siobhàn knew who the hen belonged to and they went up the road to who the hen belonged to and he said thank you very very much. The End By Edel
Hello my name Anthony. One day a hen was rescued. This is what happened. My friends Christopher, Robert, Damien, Conor and I were playing football. At about 11.15 a hen came to our school in a very unusual way. She came in a dog's mouth down the road. But the dog came up the rode and when the dog saw Angela he dropped the hen and the hen ran under the car. The teacher and Martina rescued the hen and then bought the hen back to the owner in Miss Mangan's car. Then the story ended and all my friends and me agreed it was a very funny day.
