Camp Thank You Letters

This Term we had to write camp thank you letters to the adults that came on camp. Here is my thank you letter.

20 November 2018      

Dear Suzi

Thank you for giving up your time and coming on camp with us.
Thank you for helping cook all of our food. Also thanks for helping with making the
s'mores and taking us to the waterfall track.

One of my favourite things was playing the games. Chuck The Dino was one of my favourites
because it was fun running after the dino. As you know my team won every time. Another fun
game was the carpet game. I wasn’t in the middle at all. While we were playing  the carpet
game I found out some things that I didn’t know about some people in my class.

Another thing that  enjoyed doing was the river crossing. It was very challenging to try
and keep my balance. My group almost fell over backwards. The water was very cold the
first time but on the second go it wasn’t as cold. I didn't enjoy walking back to the cars with
wet feet.

One more thing I enjoyed was Squawk Squad. I was in a group with Milan, Lily, Nathanael,
Alex, Cailan and Tyler. Our bird we had to find was the kea, which we found at the campsite.
One of the fun things was using the walkie talkie to talk to Dakota and Phoebe. I also liked
the baking we had when we got back from finding our bird.

Something I missed from home was my bed because the mattress weren’t very comfortable
and the made very loud sounds whenever somebody moved.

Somewhere I would like to go for more camps is Gentle Annie

 

Thank you again for all your help.

Yours sincerely

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 piece of writing I did.

The Abandoned Hospital.

As I walk through the light emerald trees, I hear the manu (birds) chirping in the sizzling hot rā (sun). As I am walking I see an abandoned building. Through all the moss and dirt I read a sign which says hōhipere (hospital). I wonder what happened?
I decide to go inside to explore and to escape the rā (sun) which was beating down
on my back.

Inside I was hit in the face with the strong aroma of chared rakau (wood) and ash.
I continue walking. Creak... Creak I stop dead in my tracks what was that. WWas somebody else in here as well? Shivers were sent up my spine. I looked down at
my waiwai (feet) to see that I was just standing on creaking floorboards. What a relief!

As I explore the smell of burnt rakau (wood) follows me around wherever I go.
BANG CRASH! What was that? I was so scared I jumped. I realised that It was
just a piece of steel falling to the ground. I think I know what happened; there
was a fire! I wonder how it happened?
