Camp Thank You Letters

For camp we wrote letters to thank people for coming on camp. Here is my letter. 

20 November 2018      

Dear Scott

Thank you for coming on camp with us.  I really enjoyed camp. Thank you for taking me in the car too. I enjoyed working with you in the activities.  🏕

One of  my favourite things was the river crossing.  The water was REALLY cold . I was in a group with: Billie, Dakota, Mackenzie and Summer. When we got out all of us wanted to go again. My group went 3 times.  When we finished my feet were  frozen!!❄

Another one of my favourite things was the water pipe challenge. I was at the bottom so I got saturated.  My team won so then we helped the other teams and I got even MORE wet. By the end I was wet from head to toe . So when I got back I had a nice hot shower. 🌊

I also enjoyed the Squawk Squad activity. It was when you had to follow a map and try and find things (we had to find predators and  letters). My group had to walk along the Devils Punchbowl track. At first we had trouble reading the map but soon we got the hang of it. My group had to find a blue duck. It was at the post office. 📬

My favourite food  was the self saucing cake with Ice cream.🍦 The thing I missed from home was my bed.

Thank you again. Did you enjoy camp? I did. Ngā mihi

Yours sincerely

Sasha. 😉

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 a peice if writing I did.

The Abandoned Cottage

As I walk through the  peaceful forest the sky suddenly turns grey. I feel rain thumping on my head. With panic I spin around looking for some shelter. Suddenly something catches my eye. I sprint towards it and arrive at an overgrown, stone  cottage. I stare with wonder. What happened here? Is anyone in there? I run my hand over its rough, stoney edges and look up at its moss covered roof. There is a huge pohutakawa tree growing out of the shattered roof.

Suddenly there is a clatter and a bang from inside the cottage. “Hello,” I say nervously “Is anyone there ?” Something draws me closer. I can hear my heart pounding in my chest. When I reach a hole in the front I peek my head through to see what's there. I see nothing and slowly go inside. The parauri (brown) roots of the pohutakawa tree are covering almost everything in the room. There is a fireplace in the corner furthest from the hole. Bits of rakau (wood) are everywhere. There is smell a slight smell of ash. It looked like this place hadn’t been abandoned very long.

The floor groans as I slowly back out. I look up at the beautiful whero (red) and kakariki (green) tree. I wish those surrounded the city. By now the rain has stopped but it’s really makariri (cold). Shivers run up my spine. I want to go but I know I will stumble across this place again someday.
