Year 8 Camp!

How many countless hours it took us to reach our destination. We have recently just finish our year 8 camp at Ngaruawahia Christian Youth Camp. This was for 4 days and three nights, it was our last camp before we went to college so I made the most of it.


Slippery slimy sticky mud was stuck at the bottom of my shoe, which made me slip alot. This all happened on our first activity, we walk as long as 2-3 hour.sweaty like a roasted pig, I was happy to hear that after our hike we were going for a swim, I was hot at the time but as soon as we jumped in we were as frozen at the north pole.


This story is still to be finished to keep in touch and listen for more of our year 8 camp.

Purea nei maori song!

I have chosen to write about a maori song because im maori
It goes a little like this,

Purea nei e te hau
Horoia e te ua
Whitiwhitia e te ra
Mahea ake nga poraruraru
Makere ana nga here.         

E rere wairua, e rere
Ki nga ao o te rangi
Whitiwhitia e te ra
Mahea ake nga poraruraru
Makere ana nga here,
Makere ana nga here.
comment if you liked it :)

here is the english version, of what the maori words mean

Scattered by the wind
washed by the rain
and transformed by the sun,
all doubts are swept away
and all restrains are cast down.


Fly O free spirit, fly
to the clouds in the heavens,
transformed by the sun,
with all doubts swept away
and all restrains cast down.
Yes, all restrains are cast down.

Blessed land!

All I am going to do, is going to tell you a short short story about the land getting blessed by a maori man called hemi . 
Not so long ago, I left with a couple of other students from Pt England to go to the paddock outside of the school. 
We watched a very special man bless the land. It was because of the incident that had happen about the man that had a crises and passed away they are not to sure what happen but they are still trying to figure it out, we went to the paddock went through the paddock walked around the droppings (feces) and to the wall and  listen in a respectful way, straight away I knew it would now be comfortable as it was before it had happened. 
So all the raruraru (gossip) that might go around the school can now be told it is not true, because! to prove its not true I was right there when the land was blessed and I heard everything that was said so I think I should know. LOLS :).

As the bus got to our location, Jumped off and left to the fields we were off the first round. All rounds were 10 minutes long. Pt england had three teams there. The hooter went our field number 5 Pt England vs Mansell 4 the hooter went again I stepped up to the halfway line shaking like an earthquake you got it I was as nervous as can be.

Suddenly one of the boy from the team off loaded and again the whistle blew “TRY” The whistle blew over and over to tell us the game was over. 8-0 to Pt England they ran off and under the gazebo MUNCH MUNCH all starving like a bear almost like it hadn’t eaten since I don’t know forever.

Christmas Narrative!!

It all started with a family of three, Jake, Amelia, and Lauren off on a stroll down the street on christmas eve, “aaaaahhhh” said Jake” doesn’t this feel good”
“yeah, yeah It actually does” replied Lauren
“Amelia, Amelia, Amelia” shouted Jake
(Music)(Flashback)
It was back in 1857 when it all happened.....!
They produced the song Jingle Bell Jingle Bell, It goes a little like this.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh hey!      
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.


The whole family was sitting around the fire singing christmas carols, then knock,knock they heard  at the door.
“Who is it” said Lauren
“Open up the door or I’ll shoot it down”
so she opened it
“please don’t hurt us please”
“I’m only here for your money”
“NEK MINNIT”
Jake ran upstairs not knowing what was happening, looked down the stairs and saw everything was gone the christmas presents and even the tree and he said to himself this is the worst christmas ever.
“MUM” “AMELIA” “where are you” he thought they were play a joke on him.
“It’s not funny, c’mon” “hello” he finally released this was no longer a joke It was SERIOUS.......!
“BRRRING BRRRING”
he ran to the phone “HELLO, HELLO, who’s there HELLO”
“DODODO” is what the phone sounded like
“OH dang it they hung up”
“sleeping home alone”
“ahhh”he sighed Knock Knock Knock
he walked to the door silently
“Jake”
“Amelia” “Mum”
how did you get here
“C’mon we gotta get out of here before it’s too late, pack your bags and let go”
“DONE”
“DONE”
“me too”
“Let’s go hurry, hurry”
so they went off and was never seen again.

(shake shake)
“what happen” said Jake
“I just had the weirdest feeling that”
and that was the end of her flashback.

Narrative!!

It all began on the 31st of October this day had always been a dark cold and cloudy, why you might ask? because it was HALLOWEEN.... On this day two friends named Lily-Anna and Lily had decided to go trick or treating, they both dressed up as witches and were ready to go. The first place they went was SPOOKERS. Of course It was only to get them freaked out. The first street they went down was called Redwood Terrace. Nobody ever went down there unless they were fearless and have courage and determination.
THEN IT ALL WENT WRONG!

They went up this one drive, out of nowhere men came from behind a place you could never imagine...
Screaming at the top of their lung, no one was heard they thought to themselves “could this be the end”! They put up a fight, Lily-anna and Lily both commanded “If we’re going down you're coming with us”.


The men chuckled and set them free, the girls thought they were serious. These men all said “It was just a serious prank, we were never really gonna hurt you". You girls were brave to stand up for each other, and for that here’s a bag of lollies each
the girls said “WOW thanks”
“Enjoy” they replied
“BYE”
“Bye girls”

And that was the end of our story said Lily to her mum.

Thoughts about this term!

To start of term 4, I am going to write about our term topic. I actually have the opportunity to learn about other people and their life back when they were young, and how they may have had  a favourite toy or something they enjoyed playing with.

Sadly I don’t remember having a toy when I was young, which has left me with nothing to remember my young ages only of course pictures not much but still something. I have never had a favourite toy, all toys are my favourite I have only ever had this one toy I’ll never forget and that was my only singing doll. when I was young I got this doll for my 3rd birthday, that is all I remember. I’m not a child anymore but I do still play with toys. :)

To close of my post I will try show you a similar picture to my singing doll. I got this picture from a singing barbie doll
