Camp recount 1

Camp Recount

It was over whelming as we stumbled upon the lodge. Birds flew above and their wings spread and soared over our heads. All different species; Weka's, Kaka's, Pukeko and Takahe. The Wekas and Pukeko and Takahe all stumble on the ground but the Kakas have all the trees to themselves.
When you're not looking, a Kaka will pounce on you and sit on your head as if it was nesting on my head for the first time. Their claws dig into your arm like a hook in a fish. The tail feathers hang out the back off your head; just like a bird hat. And last of all the beak pecks at the bread. Slowly its reaches further and further till suddenly it grabs the bread and pulls itself back up.
It was amazing to see all the different type of birds. It was funny because, in the morning, you would wake up and see all the birds would be up. Any time we were eating, the birds were there. But when we weren't there they would go and nest in the tip top of the trees! When we were eating the birds would come and hope for food AND FOOD THEY GOT!

Zahn

The birds swarmed around him and suddenly he walked out the door and heaps of birds landed on him as if he were a run way for a plane! He chewed with his mouth open and a bird peered inside his mouth and come out with food! Zahn got the message to chew with his mouth closed.

All the little juniors screech as a bird perches on their shoulders!

As a bird perched on MY shoulder a sense of calmness released from my brain. But my mind made me screech out loud "Ahhh."

When I walked into my tent a Weka came sprinting out. It was nesting on our beds. Luckily it had not pooped anywhere. I think that it liked our messy room; in other words (pig sty). It was brown with sharp claws and a pointy beak and feet that run like crazy.

The Kakas were my favourite bird of the whole time we were on KAPITI ISLAND!

"Boom" as the sound of the smoke grenade filled the air with color. The purple and red set the back round for our picture. We scurry of to the next activity there we munched on some chocolate and some cream and sugar mixed together. " mmmmm" Logan sighs the goddess of the chocolate over takes us. Next activity,we go and shovel on some army disguise i other words make up for camouflage  Once we gad got ready for the running race we sprinted our hearts out.Soon we had a lollie scramble and watched then back up and said our thank yous and our goodbyes.

Karen the crayfish

Chapter 1  Fair Day!

Deep in the blue flowing Ocean, Karen the Crayfish munched on her Delicious dead worm.
Her mouth waters as she watches all the juice come screaming out.
 The more she munches the less she has to eat.
Finally she finishes and decides to go adventuring, As her claws dig into the sand and pull her forward 6 cm.
Suddenly a boost of energy arrives at her feet.
She races of "wow" Look I arrived at the Fish Fair.
Look at that bright indigo crab is having a race with the ferocious shark. The big beady eyes of the shark boldge as the clappers go off!
Off racing they go, Karen slowly creeps up behind them and follows gloomily.
They come closer to the end and Karen try's to take note of who takes the 1st place.
" GO SHARK" sharks friends Yell.
" GO CRAB" crabs friends yell.
" YOU CAN DO IT CRAB" Karen yells
 321 Crab takes the lead pushing each other along it comes to the end and Crab takes the win!
" YEHOOOO" Crab screeches. "
Soon Karen adventures off to the next activity off the fair!

Chapter 2    The Friend!

Yesterday you must have heard Karen's amazing site at the Fair, Today She is wandering around the food section of the Fair!

"WOW look at all these different type of foods" Karen exclaimed.

"there is crab cabbabs and Sea fried seahorse," There was a strange looking seal in the line. 

Karen asked the man " what are you going to order" 

" nothing why do you care no one cares about me"

" well i was just wondering because i don't know what i am going to get"

" ohhhh sorry i didn't know i am just a little bit grumpy because my mom made me move out of her house"

" ohh sorry i completely forgot i'm Berny"
" well Berny im Karen"
" Karen that's an awesome name"
"thanks Bernys awesome too" As Karen and Berny walk around the fair it is nearly time to go home and come back for another day at the fair!
" Berny have you found a place to stay at"
" No!" Berny replied
" Karen smiled an eager smile Berny might you want to stay at my place until you can get a house built"
"really"
Off Course"
" well maybe once I've got enough money i can build a house next to yours but yes i would LOVE to stay at your house"
SO Karen AND Berny walked back to Karens house and got ready for another day of adventure!

When Karen Woke up from her sleep she moseyed on down stairs to find Berny sitting on the stairs crying.
" whats wrong Berny"

" come on Berny i'm your friend you can tell me Whats wrong"
" Ok im just missing my Mom a bit"
" Berny we can go see her today and then i will help you find a job" Karen thought in her head that maybe she shall find a job also!
So Berny and Karen set off on a journey to Berny moms house her name was Sarah the seal.
Once they arrived at Sarah's house they walked in and Berny gave her a ginormous hug, Karen was so pleased to see Berny soooooo happy.
Berny and his mom had a talk and Berny told her all about Karen and how he was staying at her house and every thing seemed to be fine, THEN Berny and Karen set of to the town and were looking for sites of jobs!

JOB FINDING!

Karen and Berny stumble around the streets looking for JOB SIGNS, " Look" cried Karen " a fish deliverer job you deliver to the fair foods!"
 I could do that easy Berny shreked Hopefully they are looking for two creatures because i would like to do that to. 
They walked in they had a chat to the boss  man he was a Crab called Craig. They had a chat and Berny and Karen got assined to there first delivery job. 
Once they got there Karen relized that they were delivering to the place that they met. 
Karen was so pleased now that they had the job thing out of the way! 
They set of back to the house and sorted out how they would get to work every day, and what they would were,  and then they realized that they only work 3 times a week so they still have alot  of free time!

Poem apiti show 2013

Panraferoo
Is the name
Don't get fooled by the cute cuddly face!

His head is helpful for eating bamboo
The beady eyes cutely suck up to his mum
White and black markings
Are incredible for lying
He says to all his friends
That they are battle scars

Guess what his favourite food is?
His mouth gobles bamboo ... in 5 seconds

His body has fast momentum
Because he is really fit
Loves to hop
And trumble about.
He races in the streets
And earns money for beating cheetahs

His neck is marvelous
For reaching out
All the high branches of bamboo are for him!
The only noise you will hear
When he is in the large  dark cave
Is  gobble, gobble, gobble
His neck is a bit annoying
When he  visits others
Because he has to sit outside
Even when its snowing
Cause he doesn't fit
In any other normal houses

He moves by hopping and leaping
The furthest he has ever hopped
Is two feet
Panraferoo can walk on two feet
You should see the humans reactions
When they see him!
When he wants to run
He sprints
When he sprints
you can't see his body or his shadow!
He can fly if he wants to

He lives in the desert in a cave
In the middle of an enormous plant
His mother snores
And his father eats smores
But his sister does nothing at ALL!

Loves bamboo
And leaves
And he keeps the food he doesn't eat for dinner in his pouch.

Well there you have it
You now know what to expect
When you meet panraferoo!

The weekend at the river!

Without thinking Brooke, Johnny and I crawled into the car and rushed down to the river. Johnny and i ran to the rope swing.
"3,2,1 cannon ball" I was already floating down stream. After i rolled out Johnny jumped in. Mum dived in and sat in the water. Finally Brooke swung off and all of us thought she had but really she just swung back. "OK" "Let's go down the hole and have a real swim," mum exclaimed.
Suddenly already we were swimming. Meanwhile mum set up her chairs and Brooke,Johnny and i were jumping off the rock. The rock was really big and shiny and SLIPPERY! When you jumped  you had to be careful of the rocks in the water and how slippery it was. As i floated down stream a branch caught my eye. When ever i came i always swang off it and pretended to be Tarzan.
After we glided back to the rock the noise of "wee woo hoo" filled my ears. When it was my turn i stood on the rock and thought, "Do i really want to back flip?"
Without thinking i just back flipped. While Johnny floated down the rapids i plunged to the bottom of the deep swaying river.
 As the river got colder, Mum bellowed, "5 more minutes." We all thought only like 5 more jumps. When we did more jumps we knew we had to go soon.
Finally we did our last jump, Then we staggered up the hill back to the car.

disaster ( hurricanes game)

I heard the distant rumble but had little time to register it from where i was  in the west pack stadium cuddled up in a blanket watching the hurricanes play.
Before i knew it the noise sounded like it was right outside.
I peered over the rails and there it was it was a gigantic Hurricane.
I guess the hurricanes ( as in the rugby players ) do have bad luck. It came closer and closer untill it was really inside the stadium.  The players got rushed inside off the field and as it swooped passed we were all amazed that there was no damage. As the game cam closer to the end we all felt tierd and got home and went straight to bed!
