Opening page text to Peter’s Day

A gentle summer breeze blew through the window across Peter sleeping peacefully.

Outside the birds tweeted, chattered and flitted around in the red gum trees, announcing the sun as it peeked over the tree tops.

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!

Ahhhhh! shouted Peter, woken by his bedside alarm clock.

Paul! he exclaimed, annoyed that his brother had set the clock to wake him up and it wasn’t even a school day!

Peter stretched his arms and looked out his bedroom window.

Yesssss! he said to himself quietly as he looked out across his yard and into the paddocks. Paddocks that were covered in sheep with the odd kangaroo here and there. This day was beautifully soaked in blue sky and sunshine, a great day to spend outdoors exploring.
