Willow Park Camp

The day I had been waiting for finally arrived, it was Riverside camp at Wilow park. I had all my things packed and ready to go for an exciting week at camp, I wonder how I will feel down at Wilow park for the first time?

When I was in the bus, it was very hot, I was waiting for the doors to open for some nice fresh air. Then finally we have made it there, I had sweat coming down from my head. I ran out before every body and sat down waiting for what task we are doing for today.

The team I was in was with Luke, our group name was Fist Pumpers. My most exciting day of the week was the food fights with our team leaders. It was revenge for me, and my time to shine by throwing sponges at every body.

I’ve liked my holiday at Willow park for the first time, and thanks to Miss Bush I went. I’m so looking forward to the next River Side camp.

Piri and the Tekoteko

I did an angry Tekoteko because it scares enemies away.

I read a story called Piri and the Tekoteko by Robyn Waitangi Nightingale for reading with my teacher.

Oktapodi

The name of the short movie I am reviewing is Oktapodi.

The cartoon Oktapodi was filmed in Greece, the film had a lot of funny parts .

The characters are the chef that works at the restaurant, and 2 octopuses that stayed in a water tank.

Most of the time the octopuses are apart from each other.The main message is never ever let go of the ones you love so much. I would like to show my family and friends this cartoon because it is about 2 octopuses in love.

The Lion and the Mouse 2

Studamyer, Logan and Ahsin have retold parts ot this traditional story and put it together in an animation. They were trying to use some of the clever vocab we had talked about when we read the story.


The lion had a big shaggy neck, large jaws, and was king of the jungle.
The minute mouse had sharp teeth and he was so little.
The mouse was searching for food
The Lion woke up and grabbed the mouse.
The mouse said" Sorry I wont do it again".
The lion felt sorry for the mouse
The lion put the mouse on his paws so the mouse could grab the food.
Little mouse said to the lion "One day I can help you"
The big lion laughed "Ha ha ha"at the little mouse.
The mouse heard the lion roaring.
He ran to him and saw the lion was trapped in a net.
“I can help you” he said.
The mouse gnawed through the ropes.
“Thank you for getting me free, I have learnt that it can be good to be small” said the lion.
