Races at the Addington race way!

Today is the big cup day at the races! Lots of horses are in it, but unfortunately my dads horse, Time For Dimonds, didn't do so well in the trails so he didn't get in. Also all the teachers dressed up like they were going to Addington with all there fascinates on and dresses, they look very beautiful!

Year 5/6 Camp!!!

Last week the year 5/6's went to camp! It was at Wauniu, which is on the opposite side of the bay from akoroa. We went there for 3 days and 2 nights. I was in the team extreme group for the activities. In that group was... Teagan, Ella-Rose, Sherina, Ace, Tepeti, Maisie, Holly, and myself! The parents that looked after our group were Miss Stapleton and Tony, Teagans dad. It was so much fun! I was in the bunk room with 11 other girls. All they wanted to do was talk all night, which was really annoying. On the first night there was a camp-fire. The people that ran it were called Graham, Ben and Kelsey. It was very crazy at the campfire because everyone was yelling and stuff. During the camp-fire there was a random lady dress up in a bunny onesie that came along in the middle of the campfire asking for a lighter because she was cold. Everyone was a bit confused when that happened. I did take about one hour and a half to get there but it was worth it!

Jack And The Tortoise.

Hello! My name is Jack! Don’t you hate having to walk to school everyday? Well i do. Here is a story about… um a tortoise.

One day i was walking along the beach to school because i live on the beach. Then a tortoise came out of the ocean! Golly Gosh! Then i had the most amazing idea. It was taking so long to get to school, so maybe i could get a ride!!! I ran up to the old tortoise and jumped on it’s back.

It Jumped up and ran as fast a it could. Maybe it hadn’t been ridden before because it wasn’t going very fast. I don't know. Wow this tortoise is slow. Maybe he’s broken or something like that. Oh well. But this has to be faster than walking.
