Super Scary Slide 

Whoosh the water went banging agents the rock’s.

I was walking on the rocks at Carey park  trying to get over the rushing river  to the bush slide “yes I made it.”I said to my self, “come this way please said an Adult.So my team and I followed the adult to one part of the bush slide and the adult asked “Who wants to go first?”

Ruby & Dariha,girls in my group wonted to go,so they climbed up the stairs to the top of the slide.

Two minutes later, ‘Whoosh!’ Dariha came blasting past and then SPLASH in to the freezing lake.

When she got out she said it was freezing coldI put my hand on her back,yes she was freezing.

Next another brave personin my group went down and made a huge splash!

After that about two other people went down,then I said I would go.

So up I went up he wooden stairs with my heavy bucket of freezing water.

up the top I saw the slide then I did’nt want do it any more but a lady talked me through it.

I did want to do it.I sat down on the slide shacking.The man up the top counted two three and then Whoosh.He pored the bucket of water behide me and then I screamed I was zooming down at top speed All of a sudden I was in the middle of the freezing lake shaking and swimming at the same time.

I got out I was as cold as an ice cube at the same time I was really proud of myself I thought “Im so glad I did that.” and then I said “can I do do it again?”

E.O.T.C CAREY PARK!!!

Oh my gosh I'm so not going on that rope of death.''You have to go down there or else miss davis will make you go on it forcefully''Atara whispered.I took the most frightful steps from the courts towards the changing rooms to get ready to go to the ROPE SWING!!!!! then I went into one of the rooms and got changed into my wetsuit. I walked outside,the bell had rang my lungs was getting sore I was breathing so hard.I really wanted run away from this frightful nightmare. It was no use being this scared I will have to go on the rope of the death miss Rack told the groups where they were going. Yikes that was our group we went to the rope swing. My heart was pounding so hard I thought it was going to come out! yes I'm going to do it no I'm not yes i am AGGGGGGH!! I screamed splash I felt the bottom of the river yuck it was like an eel raped around my leg. I swam across the river the man helped me up. After we all finish we went to the changing rooms i never thought I'd ever go on it again.

PIHA ASSEMBLY

Hi it's Moonisah here.  Today is our Piha POD assembly. What we are doing is performing a dance and showing our sketches . Our dance is 5678 we are doing this because these numbers are our class numbers. I am feeling nervous and excited because I have never done a dance in front of the whole school before. We also are showing our sketches. We were sketching shoes and we had to think about light and dark areas of the shoe to match the sketch.

cross country

Our school did cross country. I did  3 laps and I versed all the ten and 11 year old girls and if you came 1 2 or 3 you go in the inter schools. Firstly I went past the field up the hill past the community house past the school office through the car park down and do the whole thing three times. My goal was to not stop for 3 laps and I did achieved my goal. Secondly I achieved it by jogging and whenever I puffed out I jogged 3 steps breathed through my nose out through my mouth. We did cross country at our school my thoughts and feelings were embarrassed and worried because I didn't want to get any stitches and embarrassed because i didn't want to come last but i didn't.

Cross country

Our school did Cross Country. I did three laps against all the ten and elven year old girls up the hill and down past the community house and in the car park and back on the field 3 times then I came to the finish line and I came 1 and if you come the top 12 you go to inter schools and go against all the other schools in my age. We do Cross Country to do some fitness .My goal was to run the whole three laps without stopping. How I achieved by not sprinting at the start to save my energy for the finish. My thoughts and feelings were that I am going to finish this be cause I usually stop when I am so tired  and people go past me.

Cross Country Day

last Thursday was cross country day you can tell that absolutely everyone was excited, we are all ready to run the only annoying thing is that our race isn't until about... 11:15 we will be waiting a couple of hours. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS MIND NUMBING'"I screamed in my head "ALL THIS YELLING IS SO LOUD... oh its just me". Finally the time to race has come I was ready I was expected to do great I had been bracing myself the entire time for this moment (since 9:10!!) The race was going to start soon we got sent in to a little area were a teacher warmed us up "jog at the start Michael" I heard someone say I kept that in mind but that was probably the reason why this was the worst cross country I have ever had (When I am ahead I can stay ahead but I'm not very good at overtaking people) ... CLAP!! and the race began just like that boooom went all of the other racers
slooow was the speed I went big mistake I was about 27 I over took people till I was about 11Th place and jogged the entire rest of the way by the time I was done I was in 9Th... I was on the last corner that leads to the field for the final run to the end I jogged round the first corner and I was tired I sped up a bit to the second corner I couldn't breath I ran 3/4 pace round the third corner I felt... nothing, absolutely nothing I sprinted SO HARD THAT... I COULDN'T BREATH, I COULDN'T SEE I COULDN'T HEAR I COULDN'T FEEL but I ran... HARD I over took one person and came ninth This was the worst cross country I have ever had BUT I MADE IT INTO INTER SCHOOL (I guess its not that bad I guess).

The frozen lake By lily

At Carey Park, our second activity was the rope swing. There I was, standing before icy water in my togs, on the board of doom. Rope in hand, ready to jump. "Come on you can do it, " I  chanted over and over in my head. When you see someone on the board, it cracks you up - but when you're up there, it's like standing at the edge of a cliff. "Here I goooo!!" Splash! As soon as I came up I swam to the side like a hungry mako and hauled myself up. "Oh man I missed it, go up and do it again Lily," shouted Miss Davies. But I didn't. I just sat there like I was being brainwashed, watching Braden have around about nine turns. After ten minutes I was back up there holding the rope. 

"Five, four, three, two, one... ahhhhhhh!" Uh oh I forgot to let go and BAM I hit  the board. "Owwww!" then plop into the water. I felt something slimy climbing my leg like a staircase "Ewwww, an eel" I screamed but only bubbles came out. I swam up frightened  but never told anyone about it until now. So the moment I made it to the side I got  up on the grass and just watched Braden for the 50th time.

First he went up and did Tarzan and next thing you know he was screaming like a hungry hyena. 

"Is that a gir?l" thought Miss Davies. She turns around and......

Braden flies out of the water like a shark was chasing him out 

"I thought that you were a girl Braden"exclaimed Miss Davies I was laughing I almost fell into the lake it was so funny even the bush slide people were laughing almost every one in my group were laughing so after we recoverd we moved on to the more enjoyable activities such as problem solving & orienteering they are much more enjoyable because we diddn't freeze to death!
