Welcome

Camp Thank You Letters

We went to Arthur's Pass for camp this year. This is my Camp thank you letter to my Mum.

20 November 2018      

Dear Mama Suz

Thank You for coming on camp and cooking food and doing a lot of other stuff.
Mmmmm yummy food. Did you enjoy the food? Did you like camp? I hope you did.
My favourite part was the hike to the Anti Crow Hut and rescuing Brian because it was a
good exercise and challenging you to work in a team. Did you enjoy the hike?

A challenge for me was the tyre activity because I didn’t understand what was going
on and got a bit annoyed. Something I found out about myself was that I was good at
search and rescue. Something I learned at camp was mapping and search and rescue.
The best food was probably the burgers. Other places I would like to go on camp is Lake
Kaniere or Lake Taupo!!!

In conclusion the camp was really fun and It wouldn’t happen without all the parents.
Thank you for doing everything you did. I really liked the food and games. Thank you for all
that you did.

Ngā mihi

Yours sincerely

Charles

Descriptive Writing

At the moment in class we have been working on descriptive writing. We have been using pictures to give us ideas of what to write about. Here is my work: 

The Big, Fat Dino                               

I looked into the bright and yellow eye of the statue of the big, fat Dino and it blinked! I was scared for my life and nearly fainted. I knew it was scary but its body was astonishing.

It went ROARRR!!! Its roar was as loud as tnt exploding in an old mine. The tail was wagging as if it liked me. When its long pointy tail wagged it nearly knocked me over. His ears were pointy and big. It was weird because its ears were too big for its head and its eyelids were too small for its eyes. His nose was as big as my hand although my hand wasn't really big at all. Its scales looked as hard as diamonds being forged underground. Its scales were a mixture of blue and brown. It was as big and long as the London Tower Bridge ( I’m surprised it fits in the museum). I looked away and the Dino ate me up and swallowed me whole without chewing. I’m writing this story from inside the Dinos body! I bet that’s got you thinking?

Here is the link to the original work.
