A STORY OF CHOICES

Wednesday morning, Karl and Aroha leave home to go to school. Karl has a Mp3 player on (playing loudly) and Aroha is bouncing a ball.(Street noises in the background and music from Mp3 player)

Karl hides behind a bush to scare Aroha as she walks past bouncing her ball. He’s Mp3 player is so loud he can’t hear anything else. There are cars on the road.(Car sounds/street noises in the background)

Karl frightens Aroha . She screams and let’s go of her ball. It bounces away.(Street noises in the background)

Aroha chases after her ball which bounces on to the road. The traffic is moving fast.(Car and street noises in the foreground)

Karl and Aroha are walking sensibly together. Karl has decided not to wear his Mp3 player so he can hear the traffic and Aroha’s ball is in her bag. They are both paying attention.

Karl and Aroha arrive at the Kea Crossing. Mrs Watson is on duty.(Sounds of children in the background and a patrol student calling out “signs out”)
