By Zara Munro When I was five, my fun Grandma and my funny Grandad, my annoying sister and I went to Willowbank. We couldn’t even see the keas but we could hear them. There were baby otters, there were orang-utans, parrots, lots of cool things. We had a lot of fun because the keas sounded nice and the orang-utans were really, really funny. The baby otters were really cute. I hoped they had a great time because I did. Next steps Add greater details to the story to create a clear picture in the mind of the reader.
