Year 7-8 camp
I struggle my way out of the car and stack all of my gear outside. Nikki and I debated where to put our tent but when we finally came to a decision we quickly whipped it up.
The poles click together just like a jigsaw. I clench a tight grip on the tent and we slide the poles swiftly down each side of the tent.
When everyone is prepared for the night we settle down next to the cold hard black fire pit. The charcoal from the last fire lay on the ground. We smothered wood over the top of flames bellowing out of the ground. Everyone had decided that while we cooked our food we would go for a swim.
As we arrive down to the fast flowing water we realise it is too strong. Jim and I wandered up the river against the current. I stand there with my legs shaking and purple and my hands as numb as bricks. Soon when it had got too cold we wandered back to the campsite where chef Zac stood there by the fire cooking our food.
In no time we were all huddled around the nice warm fire defrosting and eating our billy stew. The wind blew softly which made the smoke blow into our faces.
soon as we had finished we all ran over to the middle of the field and played spotlight.

10/11/2014 Murder Mystery
Part 1
23 hours left in the day 6 to get away from the cops and the rest, well i don't know what to do with my time. I live my life running away from the cops and sitting by myself wondering how I stuffed my life up so bad. I rest on the garden tools that are surrounding me in a strangers garden shed which at the moment i call home. Days just fly by right in front of my eyes. Meanwhile I figit through my pockets to grab out my phone. I check the date and my grin just faded away. I felt as if I had just melted. How could this happen I am sitting in an old garden shed while my Aunty and Mum celebrate there birthday they are probably worried sick about me. I missed there birthday because of people accusing me of the murder of my father. I remember the night vividly as if it were yesterday, dad and I wandered down to the dairy to get some bread and milk. We were happily minding our own business when a man in Beliclaver pounced on my dad out of nowhere. I screamed in horror as the man held my dad pinned heavily on the ground. All I could think about was what do in self defense, So I grabbed the man by the neck and and tried to shake if of my dads still body. My hands dripping with blood, I called the cops. But as soon as I had dialed 11 the man had scampered off. The cops pulled up outside the surrounded building. They took one look at my dad and said I'm sorry son but your father has passed. I filled up with tears. But i didn't have time to wobble away as the cops were questioning me about what had happened. I explained it all exactly as it happened. /
The man was a sneaky pro and had left no trace which made it harder for me to give proof. The cops didn't believe me about the blood on my hands and said that it matched the marks on my dad. I pleaded and said about the man jumping on him and how i tried to get him of but it wasn't enough and they drove me down to the station. But know you are probably wondering how did i end up in a garden shed. Well to explain it simple I made a runner at the station. I began to tear up again at the thought of loosing my best friend my dad but i didn't know which pain was worse dad being gone or the pitch fork that was stabbing me in the back. /
Somehow I had to find out the secret that lay beneath the attack and to find out who that man was!
Part 2
My Thoughts deepened as I grief about my dad. The part that saddened me the most was the fact that my mum didn't believe me when I told her i didn't do it. Flash backs zip through my mind of the night. " am I the only one that knows i didn't do it" I thought in my head. But then I think about the man that actually did it. I am going to track him down and get the pay back he deserves. I know it will b hard for an 18 year old to kill someone but i know it will be possible. What he had to my dad was teranic and unrepayable. I was going to get even with him even if i die doing that./
Suddenly I hear sirens in the faint distance. Blue and Red colors circle around the area. I suddenly change into Panic mode, I creep slowly out the cracked window. The shattered glass just sweeps softly over my uncovered calf muscles. I hide my head lowly under cover of my hoddie. It seem that the position I am in now is nearly the same every week. Me running and the cops chasing after me. Every part of my body froze. Turned my head towards the cops. They were shoving my mother into a prison car. How could they accuse her of the murder when she wasn't even in the country when it happened. My first instinct was to go over there and hand myself in but i knew that wasn't going to happen. I scrambled back to my hideout. I dived through my bag searching for some food, But i knew i didn't have any:( /
I constantly thought about my mum getting taken away. I was just hopping that she was going to be ok. Suddenly I heard foot steps coming on the right of the shed. I panicked. Now i could hear voices. It was summer so I think that the owners were coming o get some tools to do some gardening. I slowly creeped yet again out of the cracked window. But this time it doesn't sweep softly over my leg. The glass pinched inside my leg. Blood started swiftly rushing out of my leg. I held my arm tightly over the glass. I know some bad things about being on the run you cant go to hospital when you need to.

skiing 2014
As we drive up the windy track of forest I can just see a faint glimps of the Mountain ahead! After I weave my way through the crowded rental place I find my way out to the cold Mushey Mountain. The sun shimmers onto the cold wet blanket of snow down beneath. Click .... Click as my ski's bind into the hard ski buckles. The White glossy powder slush's around as my ski's glide down the mountain. The wind travelles behind you nudging you as you fly down the tall mountain. My long ski's follow my lead as I parallel ski down. I was practicing doing wide s turns down the hill to help slow me down. Charlotte and I hop straight onto the chairlift. It feels like you are floating when it takes you away up high. We jump of in a rush and push our way over to our lesson!

Lorde Essay
Ella Yellich-O Conner (AKA) Lorde was born on November the 7th 1996 in Takapuna. She was raised in The big city Auckland. She was brought up in a family of 6 with 2 sisters and 1 brother. She is now 17 she started singing in earlier years. Her mother was a poet and they had heaps of books and Lorde said, "Poetry has always been a big thing for me, arguably more so then music" but it didn't stop there. She made her poetry useful for other things and she won her Annual School Talent Contest at the age of 12. She sang a rock song by Ritchie Blackmore! Her performance was then sent to Record Producers. They were amazed at what talent the young girl had and decided that they would love to work with her. She is a very inspiring person because she is young and talented. Lorde has inspired me because I am trying to do the same thing I am in shows and writing my own songs, but I don't live in a family of 6!!
When she writes her songs she trys to put meaning into them.
She loves to inspire others with her songs. Her main goal in her songs is to tell people to believe in themselves! I love her song 'Tennis court'. When you listen to it you would think it is just a song with wacky lyrics but really it is telling you a message!She writes songs about things that can inspire people.Her song Tennis Court was released on the 8th of June. Her song was played during the BBC sport coverage of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships - Women singles final! In her song 'Team' she included what she lived like as a child
"We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty but we sure know how to run free
Livin' in ruins of the palace within my dreams
And you know we're on each other's team"
Lorde is inspiring to me because she started music at such a young age and kept at it. With her hard work ethic she has won 19 awards and been nominated for 56!! She was awarded song of the year for her song, 'Royals', and also Best Vocal Performance, These awards she got in 2014.
Lorde has inspired young children to follow their dreams and that your age doesn't matter. If you want to be a successful singer you need to be hard working and be able to handle what ever challenges rise ahead of you! Lorde writes her own songs. Of course she has a team that could help her but she prefers to write them herself to show that she is really Lorde!
In her song 'Royals', she is telling everybody that they should be proud of who they are and not to try be anybody else. Lorde likes to describe herself as naturally her. Lorde says that she is sick of women covering themselves with make up. Lorde likes to wear nothing but her own skin. When she does preform she wears not much; only black lipstick and eyeliner to show that that is who she likes to be!
Lorde had a hard time with people bullying her online about her being true to herself. People were saying that she was ugly with her pimples. But Lorde stood strong for what she believed in and she knew it couldn't last forever. But also she had lots of people who were proud of her and were congratulating her for believing in herself!
What she believes is that she doesn't like to cover up the real Lorde. Lorde being herself can inspire many, I am one of many, because it is very good to be true to yourself and Lorde knows that she can set an example for others! I am going to try follow in her foot steps and be who I want to be because anyone can be anything or anyone they want to be.

Netball season
This Year Apiti, Colyton and Bunnythorpe combined to put in an intermediary grade Netball team.
This was a great experience to meet and play with other year 7&8 students. An example of this was at one of our games we all learnt how to play as a team and use everybody skills and because of that we won 28-6.
I found it a useful way to show my netball skills and meet new people. I thought that we all settled to each other as a team very well. Everyone had their own skills and everyone learnt to play the same game. It was great to try a variety of different positions!
We started being down there and still working on team play to being way up there and reading the game properly. My favourite position to play was GD because my height came into good use there. It took us a couple of weeks to develop strategies but when we did we were on fire. It was great to try a different mixed team!
