Hi everybody!

Our class has been reading a book called “Where The Whales Sing”. We have also been writing a small summary on each chapter of the book. Below is what I have written about the book.

Chapter 1:- Adrift

Claire had been thinking for days that she wanted whale-watching for humpback whales with her father on a boat. Finally, she got her wish. About 10 minutes on the boat, a fierce storm broke out. The boat twisted and turned and finally capsized. Her father fell overboard. Claire kept calling but the boat drifted on.

 Chapter 2:- Up from the Deep

Claire had had a lot of dreams but this one was unusual. In the dream, Claire had jumped overboard in order to go swimming. Claire had gone swimming with the dolphins. She woke up from the pain in her leg. Carelessly, she really did jump overboard. For a while, it was calm and peaceful. Then suddenly, she was confronted by a shark. Just as suddenly as the shark had come, a whale arrived and drove the shark away and pushed Claire to the surface.

Chapter 3:- Riding the whale

Claire felt the whales swimming underneath the boat. She kept on thinking about the whales until she couldn’t't stand it any longer. Claire jumped off but then suddenly she was confronted by an orca while she was with the humpbacks. They kept pushing her to towards the boat, the current and the whales.

Chapter 4:- A debt repaid

Claire jumped overboard for she had heard the humpbacks singing. She found the baby whale that she had met on her first underwater adventure. Suddenly, they ran into a pod of orca’s. The male orca recognised Claire. The orca’s saved her and put her in the boat. Somehow, she knew that she had to go where she was going.

Chapter 5:- Intruder

Claire had become very sick on her journey on the boat but had been supported by her cheery whale friends. After a while, she realized that she had been heading south and that she was way to far out to the south. She had seen ice flows and seals to confirm this. Suddenly she saw a . . . . . . . . . . . .

WHALING SHIP!

Well, there you go that’s five chapters of the book. There is two more chapters in “Where The Whales Sing”.  I won’t tell you the title or it will spoil the surprise. We haven’t read the last chapter yet but when we do I’ll put up a post on what happened in that chapter   :)
