Oakley Creek Cloze Exercise

Oakley Creek
School Journal Level 4 October 2015


I woke with a strange feeling in my belly. I’ve never _____lied________ to my mum before, so I feel scared – but I’ve never been to Oakley Creek before and I feel _______ excited _________. Destiny had it all planned - where and when we should meet. She filled me in with who was coming, but I barely listened. I knew it would be the kids she hung out with, the ones I am not supposed to be ______ Friends___________ with.


I get out of bed, and dress in my ________swimming________ gear and pull my T shirt and skirt on over them. I _______ stash_______ my towel at the bottom of my school bag. The face in the mirror looks the same, but I feel __________different _________. I had told my mum that I was going to school. She thought it was weird me going to school on a Saturday.


After doing my ____chores ____________ I said goodbye to Mum who was hanging out the washing. She suggested she come too, so she could talk to my teacher, but I told her no. She would make me late.


As Destiny and I round the corner we can hear shouts and splashing. The _____eel_________ have beaten us there. All morning there is only us, and it feels good. We have just finished lighting a fire to cook the _____eel_________ Liam stabbed with a stick when I hear a familiar voice. It was Miss and with her were Mum and Jonah. They are looking down at us, Mum’s face tight, and my heart stops.


I snatch up my towel and bag turning away from my friends. I’m not cool, I’m in big _____trouble_____. On the way back Miss explains that Mum and Jonah walked to school after all and Miss happened to be there. Miss doesn’t _______growl _______, and so far Mum hasn’t said a word. Miss told me it might not feel like it right now, but I’m lucky. My mum _______cares______ enough to come looking for me.
