Setting The day before the Maple Syrup Festival Main Street Elmvale Arena

Characters - our class

One beautiful, cold, early spring day, the students in Mrs. Swift's Grade 4 class were walking out of the school to go skating at the arena. The backpacks they carried were heavy from their skates that were packed inside. They rushed down the main street to get to the arena because they were exited to go skating. As they walked the kids were all talking to each other about The Maple Syrup Festival because it was the very next day!

The whole town was buzzing with spring fever. The Maple Syrup Festival is a celebration when people get to taste maple syrup on pancakes, go on rides and buy maple syrup and crafts. The main street is closed off so people can watch local musicians sing and play instruments. Every year, people come from all over the county to visit the sugar bush and sample the sweet taste of the syrup. On the way to arena a sticky situation was about to happen.....

At the community hall on main street, the Maple Syrup Festival volunteers were getting ready for the big day. They were setting up tables, getting the pancake mix ready and cleaning out the bottles for the maple syrup. Meanwhile, the truck that delivers the maple syrup to the community centre was speeding down the main street. The truck hit a large pothole and all the maple syrup got spilled all over the main street. The maple syrup froze all over the road in different shapes. The driver didn't even notice that the maple syrup was spilling out of the back of the truck. When he left the sugar shack he didn't hit the latch all the way because he was in a rush to get to a movie and get tons of colourful popcorn.

The kids noticed the maple syrup. It was frozen all over the street. It looked like brown ice. Everyone got their feet stuck. The students decide to help. The k ids got their feet out of their boots, and then got their backpacks off their backs and put their skates on. When Jessica was putting on her skates she found a marker and wrote on the maple syrup. She wrote HELP!!! Nobody came so they had to go to different people's houses and asked for help them. Everyone was busy so nobody could help them.

All of the kids ran to the guy in the truck and told him that all the syrup spilled out of the truck. "Tell the truck driver to stop his truck", the kids said. The truck driver stopped and got out of his truck. He did not belive the the syrup fell out of the truck. Then he looked back at the mess he had left. After that he believed him and said, "Oh, sorry kids! Whatever will we do? Oh my, how am I going to deliver maple syrup to the pancake house?", the truck driver asked worriedly. "We will help you" the kids said."You close the back of your truck and take whatever maple syrup you have left to the pancake house. We will skate to the sugar shack to get more maple syrup" the kids said. user:marieswift "WELL WE BROUGHT SYRUP!" "Well done kids!" Then they put all the new syrup in the truck. But what about all of the people they had a lot of maple syrup all over themselves and they couldn't get it off but they where also stuck. So what they did was told all the people to take there boot's off to get out of the maple syrup.

When the kids got back to main street, they went to the community centre where volunteers were setting up for the pancake house. They explained that the maple syrup had spilled all over main street because the truck hit a bump and made the syrup spill. They put on thier skates and skated to the sugar shack to get more maple syrup. They also explained
