DJ’s Disco Day

Written and Illustrated by Room 14 from Otumoetai Primary School

The big night has arrived. It’s time to get ready for the school disco.

I’m DJ and I’m going to wear my black jeans with my black and white striped shirt. My grey shoes with the big fat tread will go great with this

outfit. All I need to do now is to spike my hair up.

There was a sudden knock at the door. I walked quickly to the door

it was my best friend Ed who was getting a ride with us.

Hi, come in.

I looked at the time.

It was time to go to the disco.

It’s time to go to the disco Mum!

Ok, go and jump in the car DJ.

We made sure we were in our car seats and had our seatbelts on.

Mum started the car. Half way down the driveway the car stopped

suddenly.

Oh no, DJ!What is it? You gave

me a fright Mum.

Suddenly I had an idea.

What are we going to do?

The car broke down!

We could ride our bikes to the school disco. We went outside and

found mine by the beautiful flowering cherry tree.

“Oh no! I left my bike out in the rain

and the chain is rusty. Now I can’t ride

my bike to the disco.

Then we went around the corner past the lounge window looking

for my black and pink skateboard. We found it leant up against the

house but my silver and red helmet wasn’t there. So we went

inside to ask Mum if she knew where it was.

I don’t know where it is

But mum if I don’t find my helmet then I won’t get to the school disco

before it starts

Maybe we could ride our scooters to the disco instead. So we went

into the shed and I noticed that my helmet that I couldn’t find was

up on the high shelf but I couldn’t reach it. Then I spotted my

scooter behind all Dad’s tools.

This is driving me

crazy. How am I ever

going to get to the

school disco!

Suddenly I had an exciting idea.

We were just about to walk out the gate and we

remembered our road safety rules. The walking

school bus doesn’t run at night so we had to

think about how to walk safely so we didn’t get

injured.

I know we could walk

What a great idea we haven’t had any exercise today.

I reminded mum and Ed to stay on the house side of the footpath.

Then we went out the gate and walked down the street.

I must stay on the house side so I don’t

get run over.

On the way to the school disco it started raining.

Luckily I had brought my new red and white umbrella with me so I

popped it up.

“What a disaster!”

When we got to the school there was lots of traffic.

Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a pedestrian crossing.

Oh no! What should we do now?

We went to the crossing but there were no road patrollers. I

remembered Constable Doris teaching us to Stop, Look and Listen.

So we stopped and did our kerb drill and waited for a car to stop.

One car stopped for us and we walked safely across the road. I was

so relieved as we ran in the school gate with our tickets.

Finally! I’m so glad we

made it before the disco

started. After all that fuss

I’m ready for a dance.

DJ is going to a disco but he has problems getting there. Can he get there before it

starts or will he give up?
