Read the start of this story. Can you answer the questions that follow?
She had been tracking the deer. Her parents had taught her how.
One hour before, finding the hoof prints in the soft earth, she had followed the trail of broken twigs and occasional nibbled leaf until she had located it. Creeping slowly and quietly, not making even the slightest sound, she remained undetected.
She had stumbled across the mysterious circles in a clearing in the forest, and watched as the deer approached them. With a slight twitch of its ears, the deer stepped indifferently through the first circle, and vanished. Completely vanished.
The girl let out a gasp, and walked towards the circles to investigate…
You can find a picture of the circles here.

1) Who do you think made the circles?
2) How long do you think they have been there?
3) Do the stones on the ground have any significance?
4) If you were the girl, would you step through the circles?
5) Write the next 30 words of the story.
1. I think aliens who landed on the planet in a space ship made the circles.
2. I think the circles have been there for a couple of years because there is plants growing on them.
3. I think the stones have energy running through them to make the circle portals work.
4. I wouldn’t step through the circles because they might be a portal and they might teleport you to Mars and you might not be able to get back.
5. when the frightened girl stepped through the portal it teleported her back to her tumbled down house. her worried mum and dad where standing out side. what happened to you!
Thanks for your interesting thoughts Jamie. Could you rewrite question 5 with capital letters and punctuation?
