A long day
It was dark, I was so cold but then I saw a beam of light getting brighter by the second. I reached towards it then suddenly I felt a little breeze come along tickling my cheek.  I walked on getting closer and closer to the strange bright light until I was really close.  I heard a little noise, it sounded like a piece of goo go splish splosh splish splosh. It went on and on repeatedly. Then a gush of water poured onto my face. I fell to the ground.  I looked back at the light that was beaming towards me. Then I took two big steps back I didn't think, I was out of control. I got ready to leap towards it until I heard a noise “Willow, wake up! Hurry hurry, we are going to be late.” It was my mum. “Willow,” she spoke in a low voice, I could feel her tugging on my arm, then it all came back to me it was just all a dream, but it was so realistic I thought in my head.  Like a robot I slowly lifted myself up and off of my bed.  “Oh no, its Saturday!” I don't know why I was so dramatic but I yelled like it was the end of the world. “Oh no, what do I do! Ok so I need to get ready for hockey and then I need to pack my bags to get ready to get to the Jacks’ house after hockey”.  


TWO HOURS LATER……
“There, all dressed and ready for hockey,” I spoke cheerfully but all Mum wanted to do was go.  Soon enough we arrived at hockey where I was put as a half with my friend Jessica Jack.  I was a little confused, I don't know why but every time the ball would swoop past me and I would run up to it I would always remember the time two of my friends ( Asha and Kate) raced out to the ball as I was right behind them, then suddenly BANG!!!!  The ball hit me right smack in the mouth.  


FORTY MINUTES LATER
“Oh finally” I said in relief, the hockey game was now over. ( YOUR TEAM WON!!!). Then it was off to the Jack’s (Kate Jack, Jessica Jack Kelly Jack, Alec Jack, Olivia Jack and Todd Jack) house. ( Ok let's not make the story too long, it is called a long day for a reason). Me and my friend Kate Jack rode our bikes down to their hay barn ( they live on a farm). When we arrived the first thing I could see was an old rope swing.  I stood high on the hay not knowing what I was  doing. Really one thing for sure I knew that my idea would not end well.  I stood on the highest haybale I could find and at the same time I was pulling the rope swing with me. For the second time this day I was being quite dramatic and said to myself;
“ R . I . P me, R . I .P”  I jumped onto the rope and screamed “AHHHHH”! my feet slipped off the rope. I was dangling off the rope going back and forwards, bashing into pieces of wood every time.  


LATER ON THAT DAY
Ok guys ok, as this story says LATER ON THAT DAY ….well yeah, I was pretty excited because Kate and I found out that we were going to the Weber Bros Circus😝 that night. (YAY)  Well, when it was time to go and we had already jumped in the car and buckled, our seat belts and took off. We were astronauts and the car was a speeding rocket.  It took a few minutes but soon enough we made it to the Kerikeri park where the circus was to take place..

I’m not going to tell you guys everything but I can tell you that getting inside took like two hours!.  FINALLY after a long long long long long time we could enter. Just so the story does not get too long I will tell you my top three favourite acts. So my third favorite was a duet where a girl and a boy used their body strength to lift themselves sidewards on a big, big pole and did some flips around it. Secondly, there was a hilarious clown who stuck himself into a giant whoopee cushion and bounced around in it. He was a crazy potato. Now for my favorite act of the night, the big ball of death! Ok, it is when four motorcycles were in this giant metal ball ( you could see them of course) rode around and did flips in it while a girl stood in the middle.  That day was pretty cool and it was quite a LONG DAY.

Personifcation


Kia ora this week we have been learning about personification. Personification is when your writing a descriptive sentence of what something would do with out using the word an or like.



  • The Sneakers where so tired by along day of running in the school triathlon.
  • The alarm clock yelled to the girl saying “GET UP IT'S SEVEN AM GET UP GET UP”….
  • The Stop sign scolded the car for driving past a red light.
  • The Eggs were sweating nervously when they saw the hot flames heating up the pan.
  • The piano sang gracefully every time the girl tickled the keys.
  • The moon howled in the night sky

My Argument on why we should be allowed to build huts.


Kia Ora everyone and today at school me and my friends have sadly had our hut destroyed by the care taker matua Ken (yes 👿) so a lot of us had been quite sad about that so we decided that we need to make a argument to MAKE HUTS GREAT AGAIN OK maybe i'm exaggerating a little but we needed to make a argument on why we should have huts enjoy.

Tell me if you agree♥



 Name: Willow
                 Is it ok to build huts?



I believe we should be allowed to build huts.


Firstly I think creating/building huts is awesome because you can use your imagination plus you also need to use teamwork to build huts  and it can make you and your friends even closer friends than before.  When you're building your hut you can pretend to be the greatest builder in man (or girl) kind (dun dun duuuun).
Secondly when you're in one of these little groups of people that build huts then you have always got somewhere to go and play when you're bored and pretend that you're in a new survival dimension and a hut is a place that you can socialise with your friends.

Finally huts  are a very good activity to do because it can get you ready for survival and if you're lost you can build a hut for shelter one day you could be the greatest survivor in New Zealand !!!   and just by building and having fun with huts as a kid.


Conclusion:
Looking at all three reasons I think building a hut is a great activity it is fun, helpful and it is cool to be creative.  So please Matua
Please let us build huts again.
