THE BUSH



The Bush Walk its say on the Camp Brochure, A few weeks later we arrive at the camp struggling for air waiting to turn the engine off and to take the journey of our lives, survival Piha. Hungrily waiting for the adventures we paid for, camping though the  night, making tents made out of different kinds of natural plants and trees, and the two hour walk to the top of Piha mountain., shaking the the excitement of my bones. The camp grounds had brightly mode green grass, cabins that smelt like air freshener, the beds had a cotton sniff to to the sheets, all you could taste was the sand baking on the tips of your tongue, “Our journey Had Just Began” I thought , The morning sun Rosie the heat reflected from my outside window burning the layers of my skin, walking slowly down the stairs and gaping tightly onto the handles a gasp of wind flew my way, goosebumps when slipping down my spine.

We jumped straight into our jumpsuits and running gear. packed lunch and all the supplies we need to survive.. Back to back we walked, birds chirping and peoples laughter harmonising through the distances running over rocks and skipping over three parts, then I stopped with a ‘BANG” I didn't think it was really important so I linked hands with my buddy and we........, I Opened my eyes I saw darkness i felt nothing but sharp rock poking me on the backside I tried to move I only felt the pain ranging from chest, i had nothing to lose but it was just too painful, i tried to yell but all I heard was the ecow it trailed behind. My muscles were weak I had no Idea how i could get out of this sticking situation, Hour went past I grabbed a hold of my backpack, I yell out again but the rain was blocking the sound. and then I remembered Julian my buddy she was trapped my searched around around me I thought their was no hope until The sun struck me it was like a blanket I felt warm for a few minutes.

I Heard A thump and a few seconds another thump, I thought to myself am i saved is there someone that will hear me I yelled as loudly as I could it hurt me a bit and the thump stopped something blocked to the sun was this a dream it said “Hello” I had no voice i searched my pockets for something like a weasel had a pocket full of breath I closed my lips closely tightly on to the end of the weasel and blew. “Are you In Any Danger” and Blew Again And Again”, He tighten the rope on to a tree and slightly slid down holding on to me and pulling me up, i Know I was Saved, Until I remembered Julian It was too late. I Died The Next Year.

Zoo Narrative

Name: Unique
Title:
Writing Genre: Narrative
Topic Genre: Fancy

There were two distinct issue of the New Zealand Medal for the second Maori Wars, Beginning. Calling “ Listen In a demanding voice” all of the tribe members looked at the specker.  it Mumbled out loud ” New Zealand lands have been strake by our enemies from different countries, they have been disgusting towards of country and have been  how they can destroy our lands and making our land animals extinct,We all huddled together and made a plan.



After the war had died down a bit, they found out some interesting news, there had been other countries, have been piloting our oceans and seas, we didn’t imagine this much damage people would make to your country, but the maori chef made a statement and
mention the word “War” and they feel they got strake by a bowling ball, when they decided to put on their armor and walk with their pet dragons and dinosaurs. Feeling the rocky path under our raff and cold feet rushing through the burning hot sand throwing our weapon towards the range full of people fire booms blasting through the air, I swapped into grabbed a  and dump him into a falling rainbow, they sprain though the disaster and had no more breath to last much longer, so they all thought about what their next plan was and then they all focused on getting out before any more of their soldiers vanish,  




Retreating into their formal tribes they made their way with their dragons and dinosaurs, thats when I came into this tragedy I swapped in from behind the three different tribes and blowed a big amount of fire though my nose and mouth also behind me was a great group of bats and on the other side walking talking goblins we tried making fire pistols but they were nearly unstoppable, we fought our way fought this battle like real man's, flesh and blood was all over the place had patches of goblins heads and bones and other things we didn’t know it existed.

Writing Practic






We stormed thought the big packs of crowds, crash and boom,  we didn’t realise the sounds were coming from the sky, looking down at the marks of peoples shoe prints and steering our bodys side to side trying to find our way out, sparkles of glitter was exploding through the air we all tumbled on the side of the pathway, I stood up and glanced at the site ahead boom the fireworks erupted into the black cloudy night. I sprinted through a couple of american people, they catched me on the corner of their eye, I sniffed to get some more fresh air and instead I smelt a bit of rat dropping, rubbing my nose and nearly running out of breath, I could feel that I was going to die of exhaustion and I could still taste the lifted over sandwich crummies dancing on my teeth
“Yummy”

Term 2 Learning Goals



These are my goals for Term 2 and also I tell you about my personal goal as well.

Ancestral Poem.


I am a Maori Goddess,My culture is the centre of my knowledge that I know the most of.I am a strong, independent young wahine because of the strength, beauty, 

fierceness and warm heart that was passed down to me by my beautiful ancestors who protect me, they care for me and have helped me to be successful.

Even though their tombstones represent their passing, I still feel as if they are still alive in me.

You all are with me, guiding and protecting me  to reach my hopes and dreams.

The work of my ancestors, their struggles and their accomplishments illustrate my identity and who I am today - an intelligent Maori queen.


If I could see my ancestors I would thank them for giving me their strength and mana.
