EOTC Recount Blog

 Hi guys today in wananga we are writing a paragraph to retell what we did in our EOTC days. EOTC means Education Outside The Classroom.

Here is my paragraph's
Last week on Wednesday we went to Adrenaline Forest, I wasn't too keen on trying it though. I found climbing and doing all the activities really nerve racking, but kind of fun at the same time. My favourite part of going to Adrenaline Forest is going down the zip lines, I didn't really like doing the tightrope ones. Something that I saw was really big trees and some people on the level 6 which looked really hard and it was pretty high. Something we did was after we finished we went across the road to Spencer Park. I also learnt what Adrenaline Forest was. 

After that on Thursday we went for a walk around the city. The places we went in the city were Margaret Mahy Playground, Tūranga Library, and Canterbury Museum. My favourite place we went to in city was Tūranga Library. At Margaret Mahy my friends and I went down by the lake and we saw some ducks and a big swan. In Tūranga Library Carla and I looked and these boxes were it had a lot of peoples last names and saw how many people had the same last name as others. Something I learnt was that I am in fact taller than a mummy. 

Friday we went to Jellie Park which personally was my favourite day. What we did there we swam in the pools and went down the hydro slides. I didn't really learn anything at Jellie Park though.

Horror Story Writing - Week 9

 Hi guys for a few weeks in reading me and Carla have been working on a horror story. Our story is about a town which is named Whitebridge and there is something going. We have 2 chapters and working on the 3rd one right now. We haven't thought of a name for our story but here is chapter 1 of our story and i hope you guys enjoy.

There is a little town in a forest named Whitebridge. It had a population of 100,000.

In the middle of the town there are small market places run by civilians who live there.

The town was very peaceful, one of the only towns who have never gone to war.

Whitebridge got its name because every few months beautiful white bearded irises grow around

the town. The president's name is Anton. The town was found because the president of Whitebridge

was trying to find a place to build a town so he was stumbling around and then found forest.

He decides to take a walk inside of the forest, he sees a place in the middle of the forest

where bearded irises were growing. He then thought that this was the perfect place to build a town.

That’s how Whitebridge was found. Anton decided to get his best friend Apollo to help him build

the town, of course this isn’t possible building a town with just two people so he got some people

he knew that lived in the old town. There is a signature building that took the longest to build.

That building  was a huge clock tower. The clock tower was built with dark brown bricks,

stained glass with a variety of colours, above the stained glass is the clock, the clock has black hands,

there are rails just on top of the clock that have the flag that represents Whitebridge.

The flag colours our black, white, and grey.
