The deep dark hole 22.10.21

 Hey readers, 

This week i have been working on a story from pobble 369. Here it is!

My turtle stopped suddenly, but I kept going. Then the ground below me started to shake.

“Ahh!” I was falling. A hint of the smell of damp books hit my nose, combined with infuriating scents.

It was pitch black until this sparkly light shone through the darkness. I could hear the fluttering of books as

I kept on falling. I tried to hold on to the oak brown pieces of wood surrounding the library.

The wood broke and I was still falling. As I was falling I could feel the crumbles from books fall on me,

making my skin feel like an old lady. Finally I slowed down and got a hold of a strong piece of wood.

I looked around and all the ancient books surrounded me. One of the books caught my attention as I

recognised the title. It was about Ihaka who wrote a diary about his journey with his Iwi,

Ngati kahungunu. I was so curious so I reached out to grab it but a gust of wind took over.

I lost hold of the piece of wood and started stumbling down again.

I opened up my mouth to scream but stale air filled my lungs. Rocks were caving in.

I started to get a bit claustrophobic. As I kept falling I could smell the wood rotting. Ew. I looked up.

The hole I had fallen into was getting smaller and smaller. A gust of wind was making my eyes blurry

and I closed my eyes. I was getting goosebumps from the cold air. There was a sudden change in the

wind. A few hours passed and I could smell my armpits getting sweatier and sweatier.

My journey carried on.

Camp reading 20.10.21

 Kia ora Readers, 

Next week Ruru is going to camp, so the teachers thought we could have a camp themed reading create tasks. I´m really looking forward to making memories and having fun. So this week we did group maps about island and directions.  Then we moved on and read 3 books about camp/camp experiences. Then we got to make camp bunk labels ( Mrs Lee help me, that´s why its so amazing ) Then we had to a piktochart about a native thing to New Zealand and add 10 or more facts about that. Last but not least BLOG! Just letting you know create task 1 was learning about reading maps about island and directions. Have you ever been on school camp, what did you enjoy. 

( 1st book #Danger man ) 

My first book was about how this kid named Josh sneaked out of his bunk room and found this huge lake. He then saw a flying fox that he decided to go on that soon broke, so he had to find a way to not fall into the lake. 

( 2nd book #School camp fun ) 

This book is about this little girl named Siobhan. She is going on a camp with her school. She explains how the parents help on camp. For an example, the parents helped set up the tents. Then what activity's they get to do. 

( 3rd book #Bush walk )

My last but not least book is about this school trip has to go for a bush walk but Mele wants to go a bit faster. Then all the sudden Ty has to tie his shoelaces back up. Mr B soon falls and bangs his head. They have to get a teacher but they do not want another person hurt.

Create task 2 ( Create a label with your name on it for your bunk room. ) 

I did a purple background with sparkles and lights, also with cursive letters. 

Create task 3 ( Create a piktochart with 10 or more facts about something native to New Zealand ) .

The miniature society Writing 27.9.21

 This week we had to do a descriptive writing about a can coke picture with miniature people. I really enjoyed this because i could come up with many different descriptive words. Here is my Writing hope you enjoy. 

Who would like to go to the numb tasting L&P can? said the boss, Lucy, Trish and Seaeun put their hands up, off they went. ¨ Who would like to go to a sticky bubbly  Coke can?¨ Said the boss again. Jaydah, Karaitiana and Victoria, put their hands up. They got told to go to Avon river, so they went. Soon after they were all there! They could not find the coke river, so they reported it to the boss. ¨ It is impossible to find this place¨. ¨ Oh, said  the boss, I forgot to tell you if you dive into the clearwater river and you have a great look around you should find it!¨ They all said together let's do it! Off they went. They were diving for one minute when they found a dark red can with sparkling letters. I found it, said Victoria. Let's go there, said Karaitiana! Then they went there. Jaydah was terrified of the dark, her neck hairs stood up and she knew that something was up. ¨ This looks a bit sketchy,'' said Jaydah with her body shaking like an earthquake. Let's just get it over and done with. They went in the horrifying underground pitch black river. As they went in there was something white that was bubbling. AHH said Karaitiana, SWIMMM. Jaydah and Victoria wanted to investigate more. They stayed in. They took a good look at the big white pebble. 3 2 1…. BOOM. The White pebble thing exploded. Jaydah and Victoria got blasted up onto the land. It was like a big volcanic explosion. 30 minutes later Jaydah and Victoria ended in hospital. Jaydah had a broken leg and Victoria had a broken arm. Couple of days later they were out having fun.
