Descriptive writing

This week we were practising for the writing test that is coming up. So we practised describing a image. Here is the start of my writing practise.

I saw her and then she was gone, I heard whispering for me to follow, It only took me a few seconds to decide… My curiosity overrules the urge for me to run home be scared and retreat.

Tasting  fear I furiously try to predict the oncoming events. The girl is  walking down the corridor of bewildering trees that provide an arch way around the narrow stream. The pure smell of nature taking its course eases my anxiety somewhat.  I follow the mystery girl but soon lose sight of her as the mist filters through the trees blocking my view. I've lost her.

Survivor reflection T4

This week for literacy we have started this really fun activity called survivor. What you do is you come up with a team name and you do activities like build a hut, build a stretcher to carry a team-member and other stuff like that. My teams name is Mana Kaha which means Mongrel power. Our activity was to build a tent, build a stretcher to carry a team member and the other one was to make a sling.  We were really good at hut building.

Athletics

This week was the day that we have athletics. This year the whole school went down to Anzac park. The first event was 1000 meters. I came 5th but I felt that I could go a lot longer.
