Reading term 4

WALT: Listen to a novel and reflect on the story as we think about the characters,settings,plot and the authors purpose.

This is the task we had to do last week for reading. It's about prefixes and suffixes. Here is one of the tasks we had to do.I think Gary Paulsen uses flashbacks in his writing to give you a little view of Brian's past. It helps by giving more description to the story and Brian's life. This one is week our week 7 tasks that we had to complete.

WILF: has been 'me' displaying 'my best, a can do attitude' in different situations, environments and in my learning.

Next Step:  I believe I still need to work on showing excellence in maths.  I will do my best to do this in 2017.   

Adventure recount

This is my recount story about going rafting with my family. It at the Mohaka river. The whole family had a fun as time and we all want to do it again.

Once, my family went out of Hawke's Bay to go white water rafting. I was nervous on the way there because I was scared that I was going to fall off the raft. 

When we got there, I saw pictures on the wall of huuuuuuuge white waters crashing everywhere. The butterflies in my tummy were getting worse by the minute. The place was remote and the inside of it looked like a house. A man came to the counter and said, “ Have you booked?”. Mum said, “ Yes”. So he took us out the back of the shed and we found some wetsuits, water shoes and jackets that fit us. We all got dressed into them and waited until we were all done. Then the man showed us the boat that we were going in and then we hooked it up to the bus that we're going in. We drove off to the Mohaka river about ten minutes down the road.

When we arrived at the river, there were rocks everywhere. I jumped out and the man gave us our life jackets. Dad and the man took the boat to the water and slid it in. 

Then we jumped in and grabbed a paddle each. The water was calm at first but then we got further down the river and saw rapids. And this one rapid around the corner was basically a waterfall. It had a big drop and I was at the front of the boat then…. SPLASH!!! We hit the bottom of the water and we got soaked. Tali and I were the most soaked out of everyone because we were at the front of the raft. The whole family was laughing except my Dad, he had his annoyed face on and swore. He hates to get wet so that's why he was grumpy. He was a volcano about to erupt We tried to push him of the boat to cheer him up, but he just pushed us away.  

After Dad was cheered up a bit, Tali, Rudy and I jumped overboard and started to swim to the rapids. It was really cold and the roots of the trees hanging down almost caught our foot.Mum and Dad pulled us back up and we cruised down the clear, mirroring water until we landed back on the ground.

I felt really relieved that I didn't fall out of the boat and drown. It was the highlight of my year.

Survival swimming

This are some photos of our survival swimming lessons at the Clive pool. We did all sorts of activities in the water. We got in a huddle position. We got in a line in the water and out of the water.
