Camp Omatua 2016.

On our way back to school We went to Onekawa pools. When we were there I went on the water slide, in one part of the water slide I went up on the side of the tunel. I had a fantastic time at Onekawa pools I cant wait till I go again.

Something I enjoyed was tubing with my group it was cold but it was fun.

My biggest challenge was making the backpack it was a little bit tricky, because we had to make sure it fitted on the person's back, and could open and close pockets on the bag. It had to have two straps.
Our group's had to make the backpack with only one metre of tape, 15 pages of news paper and one pear of scissors. 

One of my favourite parts of camp was the water slide. It was slipperey and a lot of fun Zooming down and I got lot's soap in my eyes.

At camp we played Whonu to find out about each other, I found out Balin liked basket ball. 

                                             

Trap door writing

It was a normal day at school until the Teacher gave me a very special award. Finally the bell rung. Once I got home and put my award in the cabinet in the lounge but then I saw something.

It looked like a door so I pushed the cabinet side ways. There it was an old trapdoor that was covered in dust, I was curious. Slowly, I pulled the small bronze handle up, then a big cloud of dust blew into my face.

Carefully, I climbed down the humongous rocks “thump!” I fell on the dirt floor. slowly I got up, brushed myself down and checked for injuries.

Then I noticed one of the rocks I climbed down was glowing red I picked it up it wasn't a rock at all  it was a ruby (red diamond) I put it inside my pocket, and kept on walking.

Suddenly I saw a lever. I thought to myself should I pull it or not. I walked over to the lever, I pulled it crash a little cart made a hole in the floor. Not knowing what was going to happen. I  walked over to the cart and opened the little door and and sat inside, “this will be fun” I said to myself. The cart took off I was going so fast that when I looked around all I could see was a fuzzy blur crash! The wooden cart stopped and I flew into the sky “ahhhhhhh!” I screamed.

Splash! I fall Into Deep water, I swam up to the surface desperate for air, where was I? huffing and puffing I swam up to an Island. I looked around to see what was here. I dashed to the other side of the Island. There was a small kayak and paddles, I got into the kayak and paddled and paddled and paddled for two days straight finally I got back to dry  land.

I was very very hungry so I searched land to find something to eat. “Phew!” I found a big tree with bright red, apples hanging down from the dry brown branches. I reached as far as I could. Ohhh I couldn’t get the juicy apple, I looked around to find something I could stand on “yes a log”. I dragged the heavy log right over to the tree stump “bang!” It hit the ground then I stepped on top of the log I reached up to the apple “yay!” I got it. Crunch! I bit into the fruit. As I finished the bright red apple I was thinking of a plan to get back to my house.  

I had a plan I just had to find the tracks of the cart I was on earlier I walked and walked trying to find the tracks suddenly I saw something in the distance, It was the cart tracks finally! I can get home “oh no!” There was A gate that said in big bold red letters DO NOT ENTER. out of the corner of my eye i saw a tunnel. I got down on my hands and knees and crawled through the small dirt tunnel and it lead straight where I needed to go. I slowly crawled out of the small tunnel and I was standing beside the hole that the wooden cart made.

I ran up to the rocks and climbed out of the trap door “finally!” Im home. running to my room I remembered I had a ruby in my pocket, I closed my bedroom door and placed the ruby in my draw. “Dinners ready!” yeld mum. “Coming!” I said I running to the dinner table.

By kayla.Thank you for reading my writing I hope you enjoyed it, I have put lot’s of effort into it to make it my personal best. I am proud of the detail that I have put into my writing, how I used my  feedback to make my writing better. I am also proud of how I used the thesaurus to change my words to make my writing more exciting.

Soccer skills.

                      

                   I was learning to share my prior knowledge about my interest. I made it about Soccer skills.

                    I made this soccer slide because I enjoy playing and I would like to share my knowledge with you. Something I found challenging was trying to put the information in my own words and making them make sense for the reader. I hope you learn something.

Shane Hansen Art

My pukeko is in the grass under a tree waiting for the sun to rise up. The mighty tree on the right is peacefully blowing in the wind and reaching for the sky.  

My sunrise is made out of koru patterns. The lime green grass is standing tall and proud. This art presents my family and is inspired by Shane Hansen, a New Zealand artist.
