Poems

Hello blogging world, Saskia here. This week we made some poems. We were not allowed to repeat the same word twice unless it was something simple like "I" or "and". It was especially hard because I couldn't think at first and we had write at least six lines. This is mine.

I sat out there in the wet, 

and wished I'd never got on that jet.

Indeed that jet looked cold and cruel,

I felt like throwing up last night's gruel

I swam far away in the tide,

until a shark nearly bit off my hide.

Now I'm happy I'm alive

but I'll never go back to that place where the shark resides.

CAMP!!!

Last week we went to camp. It was amazing and fun. after the trip I am happy! I didn’t think it would be this fun until I went. Every day I was happier then the last, I loved the night walk, I didn’t think stars could be so bright! I especially loved being on the top of the mountain, and climbing on the top of a roof (where I shouldn’t have been, but it was great for sight seeing) On the way to Mt Ruapehu we had stops, they were Taumaranui, Otorohanga and Hamilton Gardens. On the way back we went to Taupo Aquatic Centre, Huka Falls and Cambridge. Also we skied. Here are some photos for all of them

My favourite part of it was skiing. The best part of skiing was when I was one of twelve allowed to go up to Rock Garden and bet my mum in a race because she crashed at the last second and let me through. What challenged me was moving up to Rock Garden with all the cliffs and heavy slopes
