Callaghans Ridge Tramp | WPCA

This term 11.4.19  room 1 and room 8 went to Callegens Ridge for a all day walk.

Mrs Kemp gave us a scavenger hunt to do in our groups while walking. The people in my group were Callan and Xavier and we found everything in the scavenger hunt.

When it was lunch time before we could eat we had to build a bivouac to shelter us while eating.

Then we had to pack up our bivouac and start walking again. There was a lot of puddles and roots on the track so we had to make sure we didn’t fall over.

After that we had to walk downhill alot which hurt my knees. Then we got to a flat easy part next to the river.But that part also had a lot of muddy puddle to avoid. After that we reached the bridge and a few minutes later we reached the end of the track.

Beach Cookout

Today Ruma tahi and Ruma waru went to the beach for a beach cookout at Watson creek in Karoro. My group made steak sandwiches and pancakes. The people in my group are Zac, Nevey and Mackenzie. We also had Mrs Glue with us.

We had to build a campfire with wood we found on the beach. Once we had built our fire we had to prepare our food and light the fire. We had to wait a while for the wood to burn into hot embers so we could cook on it.

When we cooked our steak we had to put some oil in the frying pan and then put the steak in and on the fire. When the steak was cooked we put it in some bread and started eating it. After that we started to make our pancakes.

When we cooked them we had no normal butter so we had to use some garlic butter. We put them on they frying pan and they started to stick to the pan so we had to scrape them off. But they still tasted good.

Then we cleaned our pans and and put out our fires and packed up and walked back to school.

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

WALT use adjectives and similes to describe a setting clearly

Lightning Never Strikes Twice

Aaaaaaah screamed the old fat cat lady outside as she woke me up from my sleep. I looked out the window and I saw IT! The MASSIVE Black cloud was flying above the windmill

I knew there was no time to run. The sky turned grey BANG! Lightning had put the cat lady’s house in to flames AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! She repeated as her hair burst into flames. I hid under some boxes and acted like I never saw anything. I peeked out the window and I noticed another windmill opposite me I could see a slight figure of a girl standing at the window. Crack! The wind started to pull the windmill apart. It broke like a popsicle stick house. Suddenly I saw that the roof was falling and I knew that it was the end.
