Camp reading!

 Hey guys! Welcome back to Term 4 :) This week since we are going to camp  next week we have been focusing on camp stories and create tasks. 

Create tasks!

The first create task was to get a map sheet from your teacher and use coordinates to place drawings where they are meant to be. We had to draw on about 3 things and then use our smart brains to do the rest. 

The second create task was to create a bunk label for your bunk room at camp! Write your name in any font and colour it in! P.S Mrs Lee wrote my name which is why it is awesome. P.S again Jaydah drew on my name so its not as awesome :)

The last create task was to create a poster on Piktochart about anything native to NZ. We got to pick a topic. Animal, Plants, Habitat, Threats and more! Once we picked a topic we had to pick what we were going to read about ex. Pohutakawa would be in plants. 

Stories

This week for reading since we are going to camp next week we have been focusing on camp stories and maps! There were 3 stories we had to read. The first story was called danger man and was about these 4 kids that were very naughty. One night they sneaked out and found a flying fox over a lake. One of the kids went on it but it broke and the others had to go save him. They got to him an funnily enough the water was thigh high :D. So they all laughed but then were caught.

 The second story was called School Camp Fun. It was about a girl going on camp for the first time. Her dad came along to help. They did fun things like roasting marshmallows. Swimming and having hot chocolate. 

The third and final story was called Bush walk. It was about a group of kids on a hike at camp with their teacher. One kid was slowing the group down and his shoelaces kept coming undone! The teacher slipped and cut open his head...ouch. Luckily the slow boy knew where they were because he payed attention!

I hope you enjoyed my camp work and I will see you next week!

Have a good day

The deep dark hole...

Hey guys! This week for writing we have been focusing on our senses! We had to describe the picture down below.  I wont type in too much because I would love you to read my writing right now! Here it is :)

WALT: Use our senses to write a description.

The Deep Dark Hole

 

The scent of the flowers combined with the colourful petals clear my mind. I always come here when I'm stressed. As I walk closer to an unfamiliar part of the garden, the scent of the flowers change to the smell of burnt pieces of bark and the flower petals go grey. Suddenly the ground beneath me vanishes. The next thing I know, I´m falling down a dark hole. I open my mouth to scream but stale air fills my mouth. I feel books bashing my body as I fall faster and faster. Small noises of books opening and closing rush past my ears.

The force of me falling is so strong I can hear the whooshing of the wind. As I fall the things above me and on land get smaller. A beam of light from above shines on the dusty books. My hair is tangling around my face. Cold wind fills my nose. My mouth opens to scream again and as I yelp an icy breeze fills my lungs. Confusion fills my brain but curiosity is wandering around my head as well.

I start to fall faster.¨AHHH!¨ The echoes of my scream fill the dark rabbit hole. Water drops fill my eyes and as I cry they.. float to the top? The smell of rotting wood flies around the hole. I´m feeling so petrified I can taste my own fear. This will definitely traumatise me for the rest of my life.
