My surfing Day!!!!

Surfing was easier then I thought but I heard loads of tips from my Dad. The hard bit was catching a wave and then walking all the way back out to get more waves.

I love surfing it is my favourite outdoor activity I've ever done. I can't wait to do some more activities at school.

One of the things I didn't like about this was I felt trapped in that wetsuit the whole time. But when I took it off I felt weird.

Here is my POEM

I can smell all the salty air when  I breath deep.

I can taste the salty water in my mouth craving fresh water.

I can feel the waves crashing in hitting me and pulling me under.

I can hear water in my ears, it’s stuck and annoying.

I can see sand always scratching.

I can see cargo ships unloading.

I can feel the tight swimsuit squeezing on me.

I can see blue skies and sun beaming down.

William Pike Challenge

On Tuesday William Pike came to our school. We cooked dinner for everyone. I made sushi. My favourite food was Jesse and Joe’s banana cake.

We then went to the wharehui and he talked to us about his life and what happened to him and all his embarrassing moments.William Pike was climbing Mt ruapehu and while he was sleeping in a cabin the door burst open with mud and yuck dirt.

What? THE MOUNTAIN ERUPTED!!!!.

while he was sleeping on a mountain it erupted OMG!!! Scary. His friend was able to get out but William was not. His brave friend Soldiered on for his friend and got help at the top of the mountain What a great friend. He went through cold temperatures in his boots and PJ’s.

My favourite part was the storytelling it was quite gruesome and meaningful at the same time.

Wonder Essay Post

Last week our writing task was to write a short essay explaining the points of views that R.J Palacio used when writing the book ‘Wonder’.

We found examples from the book. I used 3 quotes to back up my thoughts. I like the book so far.

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.

The story is in first person because he says “I’m not an ordinary ten year old boy.”

I thinks it is in 1st person view because,

“I can’t say I didn’t always want to go to school because that wouldn’t be true.

I think it is in first person view because he says “I want to wear my boba fett costume.”

In conclusion R.J palacio wrote this story in first person

It is funny and meaningful and I enjoy it.
