I was really lucky to visit this wildife rehabilitation centre called 'Free Me' which is about 25 minutes from my house in town called Howick. They care for all wild animals that have been injured, harmed or seperated from their parents in the hopes that they can be released back into the wild.
It is a 5 part 'series' and I'll add them one at a time...
TASK D:
We have all remember stories about 'how the leopard got it's spots" or "how the lion became the king of animal kingdom". Do you know what these types of stories are called?
-See if you can find your favourite animal fable about animals in Africa. (Remember we don't get tigers here!)
-See if you can think of 3 fable titles you think would make a good story.
-Once you have done this select the one you would most like to write about.
*Remember to consider how your story will start and end. Do fables always seem to start and end in a similar way?

CHRISTINE'S SOUTH AFRICA CHALLENGE
A challenge.: go to rorkesdriftvc.com and find details of my relative who was awarded the Victoria Cross in the famous battle with the Zulus.
A clue - he was awarded the VC under a false name - he enlisted under the name of John Williams so that his mother did not know he was in the army - but his real name was John Fielding - he even has a pub named after him in the Welsh town of Cwmbran which is where my father was born. My Great Grandmother was known by my Father as Granny Fielding - she was the sister in law of John Fielding .
If you have seen the film there is no truth in the myth that they all sang Welsh songs ,such as Men of Harlech , to repel the Zulus [ but I and Rick can sing it - we will record it for your blog - just a joke !!! ]
- Christine
