Swimming Camp

Opal Hot Springs, New Zealand

Swimming Camp
This Holidays I went on a swimming camp with my coach and my swimming friends.
We had swimming training in the mornings at the pool where we stayed. In the afternoons we went to the Matamata Swimming club to do our second  training.
I had lots of fun at swimming camp and I really wan't to go again.

Walking My Bike

Walking My Bike 

1963

As I walk through The Gardens of Eden, I feel the cold breeze cutting through my thin coat. My bike bumped repeatedly against my leg but I didn't bother to do anything about it, the soft turquoise colour soothed my thoughts about Ivy's death. I finally found shelter behind a huge oak tree and slept. 

I woke up to a beautiful morning full of prancing birds and happy cicadas. Then it hit me. I need to go back. I run through the Gardens pushing my bike as fast as I could. 

But when I got to the gates they were locked… 

I need to get out. I run the whole way around the gates but nothing is open. So I decided to wait, I think it is the longest wait I have ever had to have wait. 

When the guards finally came out to open the gates I run out without listening to the questions and remarks that followed behind me. 

For our class weekly writing we had to go on a website and find an image to describe. Then write a description on the picture in present tense.

I did mine about a girl around the age of 13, that had run away from home with her bike because someone she knew died. I think that I chose this picture because I love bikes.

The Dread Willow Marsh

I did another book cover on Canva.com today. I chose these pictures because I think they really suit the book and the character of the book. The book is called The Dread Willow Marsh. (I made up the name and the book) The book is about a spooky marsh with magic. I really like the book cover and I think that you should try and make a book cover with Canva.  

Things I Love

Today we made our first video on Stupeflix.com I made mine about things I love. I hope you enjoy watching it.    

My Passion Project

My passion Project is about underwater life. My big question is how does the underwater world work? I am trying to get as much information as I can about the underwater world. I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up because I want to help all the animals in the sea that are dying because of us.

Using Dialogue

We are learning how to use dialogue in our writing.  Our teacher asked us to make these 2 people have a  conversation with each other. This is what my conversation was. 

The Game

This is the cover that I designed of the book my group read in reading time. In the book a boy is very scared to go and play the cricket game but he does it anyway. I chose these images because they are all related to cricket and that is what the game is about.
