Little Toot the Best Tractor

When I saw little Toot I was so excited to see him. He looked so amazing. Little Toot was so happy to see us. I wish that Little Toot could be as fast as a cat. Little Toot was so hurt because he was rusty and Mr Pierce’s did not take him out that much. He sounds like a bull. When we left he looked so sad. I love little Toot, he was so amazing. Little Toot was the best. I want to see Little Toot every day.

Little Toot

Little Toot was so miserable and then my friends came. Mr Pierce turned Little Toots’ heart back on. Max (the dog) woke up. He was really harikoa! And after we proudly stomped back to the classroom.

James Best

Little Toot

Little Toot was waiting to be turned on for 18 years. But when we came to see him, then he became excited. Then Mr Pierce finally turned him on. Then he did his happiest tooting ever! When Mr Pierce turned him off he got frustrated because he thought he was going for a ride.

Dru King

Little Toot

Little Toot felt lonely and then Max tried to cheer him up. Little Toot felt jealous because of the new tractor. Humans turned up and he got angry because he never got used to it. James patted him softly on his head and he was now calm. Then Mr Pierce turned him on. Little Toot had black smoke in him because he wasn’t feeling well. Mr Pierce rode him like a bull.
