The Kite Rider

Boody, Agibou, Ahtik and Samiur from 9T have been reading the Kite Rider by Geraldine McCaughrean. Here is a fantastic piece of work they have done on it.

Terror in Dagu!
Children Trapped
in Fire


A widow and two young children survived an enormous blaze which devastated a family home in Dagu yesterday evening.

A two-year-old girl called Wawa and her mother Quing-an Gou, aged 39, were pulled from the roaring inferno by hero Di Chou, first mate of the Chabi, at around 10pm.

Crisis in Dagu

The disaster happened just a few weeks after Pei Gou, Quing-an’s husband, died in a wind-testing tragedy. It is believed that Quing-an may now marry Di Chou. The first mate said, “I was just passing and I heard screams. I ran in and pulled them out, it was nothing.”
It took neighbours and friends two hours to put out the intense
flames, which destroyed dozens of kites made by the widow’s 12-year-old son Haoyou. Police are
investigating the cause of the fire, led by Inspector Ben Tham.

The Inspector said, “We found a burnt match at the scene and we are gathering a lot of evidence. I will be interviewing neighbours to help with my inquiries.”
