I have been learning to read and summarise information about journeys

	What kind of journey has taken place?   Explain.	What was the purpose of this journey?	What challenges did the character face?
Baby bear went fishing	Walk. Outside to explore.	To catch some fish and to see if Baby Bear was big enough to go fishing.	Trying to catch the fish.  Another challenge was for Mama Bear to let baby bear go fishing in the first place!
Jolly Roger and the coconuts	They went on a row boat to the island.	The purpose was so that they could get some coconuts.	Climbing up the tree. One of the pirates was worried that his coat and boots would get very dirty.
A bird in the Classroom	A bird flew into the classroom and the bird had never been there before so it was a new place to explore.	It was by accident.	The bird didn’t know how to get out of the classroom.  It was too hard to pick up.
Sam Goes Riding	Sam and Dad walked to see if there were any rides.	Sam wanted to ride a pony.	Sam wanted to ride a camel with Dad.  He didn’t want to ride a camel on his own!
