My Writing Sample

Just looking at the paddle board gives me shivers down to my toes. Stepping onto something that looks unstable makes me more nervous. It drifts away as I try to get on, one leg on the step and one leg slowly drifting away from me.

 I take a risk and jump to it without thinking for a second. I feel unsteady and wobbly as I collect my confidence . No matter what position I stand I feel like I am going to fall off. I kneeled down until I feel steady and confident enough to stand up .I stood up and kept stiff.Small waves and a bit of wind came gushing towards me and pushing into the coldish water.

I try to jump up but I kept slipping so I push myself up because it was cold.Once I got up I was shaking even more, not wanting to fall again. Pushing with my paddle I glide smoothly across the lake.Going further out to the lake I gained more and more confidence as it seemed so peaceful.  Not watching where I was going I bump into someone and fall again. This time I was FREAKING OUT because we were so far out and just wondering what could be in the water. I spring up quickly and paddled so fast I was already in the shallow. Then I fall off again because someone bumped into me.

The Thing That Scared Me The Most At Camp

Steeping onto the sail boat knowing that I'm going to do something wrong. Once we where in the middle of the lake small waves started to hit us, it felt like we where going to flip over because of all the rocking.It started to cram down.

Ava let me have a turn at steering and the waves came back,I kept steering the bout in circles, I was freaking out so I gave a turn to Kayla. The waves kept hitting us I was worrying so much I was yelling "Panic Panic Panic".We came to a complete stop in the middle of the river.

We didn't know why.We started to find a way to move again.All we had to do was just switch the sail around to the other side and we where off. We came up to the wharf and I was shaking as I hoped out of the boat.

Camp #2

Dear B.O.T
We have been informed that camp has been band because it it too dangers.
So I am writing this letter to persuade you why we need camp.
By having camp kids can collaborate with outers outside the class room.
They can experience new and different things that they have never done before, and say that they have accomplished it.
They might even overcome a fear that can't be overcome in a class room.
And over all it's just to have fun, and we will make if safer for the kids.
That is why we need camp, I hope you change your mind about camp being band.

Staying Away From Home

Ready to go to school but mum and dad were taking their time. It was 5 minutes to school, dad made 6 wrong turns and we ended up heading to Auckland. It was all part of the surprise to go to Rainbows End. After we had some fun at Rainbows End it got dark and mum and dad booked a hotel room for us. At 4:00 in the morning mum and dad woke us up and they said to get ready. The next thing I knew was that we where at the airport. It took me a while to identify where I was, once we where in the air it hit me "OMG where in an airplane" And off we went to Christchurch.

True story :).

Never Give Up

The year was nearly over and we had to start our prize giving art. I chose to make a face out of clay. I had an Idea of what it would look like, so I started to shape the clay. It looked amazing but when I started to paint it the paint was mixing with the other colors. I froze didn't know what to do, it was a mess. I tried to wipe it away, it just made it worse. I left it so I wouldn't make it  more wore than it all ready was. The next day the paint was dry so I painted over it.It looked great I was proud of it and I never gave up.

Camp #1

White water rafting, Prawn Park, Sailing, Hiking to Huka Falls and Completing A high rope course are all things I have never done or been to before so it's great that I have a chance to try new things like these...

I am nervous about completing a high rope because I have a phobia of heights...

I hope to learn to do up paddle boarding because it is something I know little about and it would be really great to learn...

Food tech

Food, food, glorious food. Over the last 5 weeks every Thursday we have been going to the collage for food tech.We have made everything from delicious berry smoothies to divine fluffy pink cupcakes. Before we started our lesson there where five things we had to do,tie up long hear, where covered shoes , put on clean apron, cover any cuts and wash hands with hot soapy water. My favorite part about food tech was  absorbing all the new tips and suggestions that would make my cooking better next time. 

Achievements

This term I have achieved getting my gold card, I am proud of this because it shows that I am a good leader and it shows that I have accomplished a lot of things.I also have learnt an easier way to solve fraction problems, it is an achievement because it was one of my goals that I have set for myself.  Something else I  have achieved was to get at-least eight AWS pages done and marked off.  

After School

When I get home from school I would go to my room and do some art and craft or make something out out of the stuff that is around me. I would help Jolie(little Sister) with her home work, and then maybe after that I would play on my X-box. When mum and dad get home from work I would help make dinner. I get everything ready for the next day so I can sleep in. And when hockey is on I would practise hockey.And thats what I do when I get home from School.

House Challenge

We lined up outside in our house ready to earn some points. It was all about team building and working together. Our first challenge was to stand in a line and to get everyone in and of a hula hoop as quick as possible. Our next challenge was to stand in a line and roll a ball through our legs without it rolling out, then when it got to the end the end person he/she would have to run to the front and repeat it all over again until everyone had a turn running to the front.The last challenge was my favorite, it was a relay. We had to wrap ourselves up in a sheet and roll and  wriggle to the other side. Some people came up with some really awesome and funny ways to get to the end. I'd like to play those game again.
