Holiday with my family (Part 2)

Me and my three cousins were really surprised when our two cousins from Wellington came and celebrate Christmas and New Year's together. For me it would be a bigger surprise if all of my family came. Here are some countries that my family are in right now: USA, I think France or Spain, Australia, American Samoa, Filipino and Samoa, how it would be a big surprise if my whole entire family came to New Zealand for a family reunion. But I'm happy I'm going to see ALMOST my whole entire family for our next family reunion in 2019.(Have a Happy and Noisy New Year's Day)

Holiday with my family!!

As I said my Grandpa, Grandma, Auntie and cousins came to New Zealand. On the second day in New Zealand we decided to do to Mission Bay. But obviously we couldn't fit all of us in one car so one group went in my Uncle: Tauivi's car and the other group went in my Dad's: Toetu's car. When we got to Mission Bay me and my three cousins decided to play on the playground. After 15 minutes of playing on the playground me and my two cousins went swimming in the fountain. It was a lot of fun playing with my cousin's, but I was really sad when we left. (I hope you like my writting!!!! And always feel free to leave a comment!!!)

The Bush didn’t have much bushes around because it was actually a huge forest it looked so amazing! It had the smell of chocolate and strawberries on the outside, but it just looked like a stinky old bush.

Year 6 Kawau island!

Walt: Write a detailed recount about our experience to Kawau Island

On the 15th of November the year sixes of Point England school got the opportunity to go camping at Kawau Island.

When we finally reached the wharf and got ready for our two hour hike, we got to meet the two owners of the camp: Erin and Peter. Erin and Peter gave us some instructions and rules not to feed the ducks or weka, and if we were doing any water activities we all had to wear water jackets for safety. When Erin and Peter finished telling us the rules we went on a two hour hike. The two hour hike was exhausting when we got back to the camp my legs were hurting a lot. I hated the hike!

On day three, after we had our run and breakfast, we all got ready for our first activity of the day. My group Kawau B had Bivouac with my mum: Lautifa. Bivouac is an activity where everyone had to create a shelter with sticks, branches or anything that would help build a shelter. We had to work hard to make sure that our shelter would water proof or when if it rains no water can get inside. At the end me,Kei and Annelis made a shelter that was small but was water proof. I loved Bivouac!

My favourite activity while at Kawau island is probably sailing, I loved sailing because at the end me and my partner Kei came first and because it was fun. After Peter had taught us the tips and instructions about sailing, me and my partner:Kei got ready to get on the boat. 5 minutes later me and my partner:Kei were still having trouble with the stirring because it was our first time and me a Kei were so scared that we were going to tip over, but luckily we didn’t, but soon we got the hang of controlling the boat. At the end all of the boats got ready to have a race back to the shore toward Peter, and guess what? Me and Kei came first, I loved Sailing!

It was Friday and it was time to go back to Sandspit. I really wanted to stay but unfortunately I knew that wasn’t fair for the other kids. My top two favourite activities were Sailing and swimming. If you had a holiday I would say to go to Kawau island!

Writting Test

Terry was furious at Matt. “I knew I shouldn’t have came out here with you, thanks to you we’re lost in the bush!” Terry shouted giving a hard look at Matt. “I’m really sorry Terry, I thought that this was the way to the beach, replied Matt with a sad look. With that Terry stormed off and Matt was right behind him. “From now on I am going to lead the way, since you got us in this mess” Terry  demanded, with that Matt sighed heavily Terry was very angry with him, he really felt bad.

Half an hour later still trying to find the way to the beach, Terry had given up and let out a ear piercing shriek, “AAAAAAHHHH” Terry shouted almost making Matt jump. “Terry don’t shout so loudly I heard that there are some wolves in the bush” said Matt looking up to the trees where bats were now flying off and screeching as they flew away. “Wolves!” Terry began, “Hahahaha” laughed Terry mocking Matt’s scene,but then something interrupted his laugh, “grrrrrrrr” came a sound coming from behind Terry. Terry slowly turned around and right before his eyes there stood 4 looking hungry wolves with sharp teeths that looked like it belonged to vampires, Terry backed up slowly away from the terrifying looking beasts.

They stood there not moving an inch until Matt started looking around to see if there was any hope for them to escape. Until he remembered his father’s words about climbing trees to getaway from trouble when he was just a little kid, “always learn to climb tree’s and one day that skill will come in handy” he remembered. “Terry I have an idea, we have climb that oak tree so we can escape” whispered Matt in his ear, Terry turned around looking for the tree Matt was indicating. Then he saw it the thin but well grown oak tree right behind them, “fine, but I’m only doing this because I don’t want my ribs being eaten by a pack of wolves” agreed Terry, he really didn’t seem that there was no way out of this mess! “One, Two, Three….RUN! Matt shouted, they run has quick has their legs could carry them. They were only 5 meters away from the oak tree, 4,3,2,1, they had made it to the oak tree. But they knew that a pack of wolves was right behind them so they quickly began climbing up the oak tree to it’s highest point.

With that they could see the whole bush, and to make it even better they could see the beach only 20 meters away from the oak tree. “Matt I can see the beach,from here” said Terry, “we just have to wait until the wolves are gone then we can run to the beach. “Ok” said Matt,relieved that Terry had once agreed with him. 30 minutes later the wolves gave up and went back to their caves to rest, so that was when  Terry and Matt climbed off the tree and scrambled to the beach,they were almost there, they could hear sounds of people, the music and the happy laughter of people. Finally they had made it! They were finally at the beach!

Narrative Lost in the Forest!

Walt: narrate a story about a character getting lost in the forest while camping

It was the last night for Pete and his friends. Tomorrow they would have to leave the campsite and go back to the city. It was almost midnight and Pete was snuggled up tightly in his blankets when he heard the sound of thunder.

A few minutes later,  the big storm that Terry heard minutes before came rumbling into the campsite almost making Pete jump out of his top bunk. When Terry went outside he couldn’t see his friends and to make things even worse he couldn’t see anyone around…. It was just him. He scrambled back into his cabin and went rummaging through his backpack to find his cell phone, just then it hit him the owner of the camp took everyone’s phone away. Pete sank into a corner and started crying. Meanwhile back in the city Pete’s friend’s were speaking all a once for what had happened with Pete. “What are we going to do” said one of his friends, all of them sighed loudly how could they go back to get Pete when the storm was still operating. Was there any hope for Pete.

When the storm was finished and Pete decided to go into the woods to try and find a way out. As he was walking along the track where cars entered into the campsite he could hear the happy laughter of people laughing nearby. Then he remembered the owner of the campsite saying that they was a park nearby that led to the city. As he was making his way towards the sounds of happy laughter of children, Pete realised that there were five pathways, and he didn’t know which way to take.

As he stood there trying to find a solution to get to the park. He thought and thought until it hit him again, he can just follow the sound the happy laughter. He listened carefully until he could hear the laughter, until he heard the laughter coming from the  third path. As he walked slowly towards the laughter he saw the back gate of the park and could he the children loud and clear. When he opened the gate of the park he saw all kind of kids playing and laughing, Pete had made it!
