Stranded Part 2

 “I’m going to find you Carys!” shouted Wendy at the top of her lungs. She suddenly jumped in the water. Then she dived down down down into the depths of the Arctic ocean. “Nope, you are not dying out here!” said Brooke as she and Ruby dragged Wendy back in the boat. “Why! She is probably already dead by now.” said Wendy sadly. “Yeah. We sadly agree.” said everyone else. Suddenly Wendy started crying very loudly. After a few minutes a new ship came into view. As it came closer we saw the name. It was the Symphony of the Seas. The biggest cruise ship in the world. They had come to rescue the survivors. Carys was still floating in a current. She was drifting far far away. She was on a current that wasn’t going to end for miles and kilometres. The current was going to end at the island called Tuulafoa’i island. Tuulafoa’i means deserted. Back on the main land. The friends of Carys were taken to hospital to see if they had any injuries. They obviously didn’t have any injuries. Carys’ family were devastated. They knew they had to bring at least one adult with them. They still had no clue of were Carys was. No clue at all.

Stranded Part 1

BOOM! “What was that!” Wendy screamed. Suddenly the lights flickered on and off over and over again until they just it was pitch black. I was sailing on the ship Blue Moon. It was a cruise ship. It was carrying 3,289 guests. Most of my friends were on this ship because our parents bought us all ship tickets to go on holiday by ourselves. Suddenly the ship lurched. Then the microphone said “Everybody get onto the top deck immediately. Put on your life jackets and bring your special valuables if possible. WARNING! WARNING! Get to the top deck immediately!” It repeated that over and over again. “Come on everyone lets get going!” I said. Everyone in my cabin listened. “I’m scared.” said Otoha. “Me too” said everyone else. “Ok up we go.” I said. We tried the elevator but like all the other electronics it wasn’t working. So we had to use the stairs. It took us a while but soon we got there. There was heaps of people all around me. I suddenly got separated from my friends. They had gotten onto the first life boat because they were children. Then as I was rushing towards the boat shouting “Wait! Help me!” But it was to late. It was dropped in the water. As I started crying I got pushed into the icy water. I suddenly fell unconscious but luckily I had my life jacket on otherwise I would’ve drowned. Back on the boat the others didn’t even notice I was gone. Surprisingly Otoha said “Where’s Carys?” Then they all got worried. They thought weird things like Was she eaten by a shark or did she drown? They had no idea.

Year 6 camp

 Last week, the Yr 6's from my school went to El Rancho for camp. I will be showing you the first day I went to El Rancho. I hope you'll like it.

Today we got ready to go to Year 6 camp. All the Yr 6s went to the hall after the bell went. We got sorted out into groups and we went to the adults cars after we got sorted out. I went in my Mums car with two of my friends.

When we got to El Rancho we sat on the grass and we got sorted into our activity groups. My friends from my class were all in a different group. After I went through the sadness we got sorted into our cabin groups. I was with my friends from my class. They were Wendy, Brooke, Tiarna and Me. 

We had time to sort out our stuff. 

After that we went to lunch. Lunch was Mac and Cheese. It was scrumdiddlyumptious.

  

After breakfast we were going to do our first activity. . . Team Initiatives! We had to work as a team to finish tasks. The first task we had to do was we had to balance on a beam and we had to make it even on each side. We had to stand on a log and make line up from tallest to shortest without touching the floor. We did all of the other tasks like that. 

We went to archery next. I persevered till I hit one of the targets. My team won all of the rounds.

 We got lots of free time afterwards. 

We had dinner next. We had some amazing Nachos. 

We got nice and cosy in our pyjamas and we watched a movie called Matilda. 

After the movie we went to bed.

Heading back to school

 I feel happy about going back to school from lockdown. In lockdown at home the things that was the same as school was that we still did heaps of learning. We also still met up everyday. We also had Whaea Annie there for us when we needed her most. The things that are different from normal school is that you couldn’t have face to face interactions. It was also at home obviously. The things that I missed about school is I couldn’t play with my friends and I couldn’t see Whaea Annie in person. I couldn’t play tag with my friends. I couldn’t do face to face interactions. Lastly I couldn’t play on the playground with my friends. The things that have changed because of Covid at school is that you have to have your own drink bottle because you couldn’t use the water fountain. Sadly the choir people for Artsplash can’t do it because they cancelled it. The bright side of being at home and doing work is that I could do as much maths as I liked. I also liked doing heaps of blogging (I blogged everyday). I liked doing Kahoots, Quizzes, Jokes and Riddles with my class. Lastly I liked emailing my friends especially the ones that have moved away from this school. My favourite thing in lockdown at home (other than school work) is that I loved playing with my sister. An example of this is that we played on the trampoline. 

Twelfth day of school in lockdown

 Today I did some drawing. I copied a picture of me and my friends Wendy and Brooke. Then I did some reading eggs. I played other people on the stadium. Then I had a snack. Then I did some keyboard skills. Then I finished the second part of my story I wrote. Then I had a break and I had a mince wrap. It was so delicious. Then I watched funny videos with my sister and my mum. Then I did some maths. I didn't need any help. Then I did Prototec. I did stage 8 with 97% in 5 minutes and 17 seconds. Then I did some timestables. I hope you had an awesome day.

 “What should we do?” Brooke asked. “Maybe we should make a drill and drill under ground and go under neath them and use the bombs.” suggested Wendy. “Yes and no because we also need to destroy their base.” I said. “So we must lure them to their base again and then we blow it up.” said Brooke. “Wow Brooke, that is a really good idea.” Wendy exclaimed. “Ok here is the drill.” I said after a while. “Hop in.”

“Look out!” shouted Wendy as a bomb flew past us. “We must be close.” I said. “Speed up already.” said Brooke. “We need to get there and place all the bombs down before they come and then we’ll drill back to the surface and head for home again.” “Wow you have been on to it more than us Brooke.” I said. “Yeah.” said Wendy. “Stop!” shouted Brooke. “We’re here.”

“Ok now we are done.” I said. “Let’s head back to the surface and wait till they are down by the base.” said Wendy. “Then it goes KABOOM!” said Brooke. “Yes, KABOOM!” said Wendy.

“Wait for it, wait for it.” “NOW!” I shouted. KABOOM! “Now their definitely dead.” I exclaimed. “Ok let’s head home.” said Wendy.

“Cough Cough.” coughed Ravana the leader of the bad guys. “I’ll get you for this Moon.”

The Artist

 Hi my name is Moon. Everyone teases me about my name. Well they’ll be sorry when they find out about my power. I’ve had the power that I can draw a picture and it will become real or I will turn into it. Isn’t it amazing right. I’ve had it since I was a baby. Well actually I was born with that power.

“Moony Woony!” laughed everyone in the playground. I felt so embarrassed. Then I went and ran to the bathroom. I started crying. Then I herd the door open. “GO AWAY!” I shouted. “It’s ok Moon, it’s just us Wendy and Brooke.” said Wendy softly. “Ok I’m in the last toilet.” I said sadly. “Ok we’re coming in.” said Brooke. “Have you guys herd about the story that three friends will save the world from evil doers.” I said excitingly. “Yeah.” said Wendy and Brooke at the same time. “Well I think that's true.” “You do?” said Wendy surprised. “In the story did you hear that one of the friends had a power.” I said mysteriously. “Yes obviously.” said Brooke. “Well I have that power.” I said sternly. “Oh my gosh we are the three friends from the story!” screamed Wendy. “Yep that’s true.” I said.

The next day was a weekend. Wendy and Brooke met up at my house. We talked about how we will stop the bad guys. We figured out that we will need to get to the Sahara dessert because I had already figured out that their base is in the Sahara. “How about we use a helicopter.” suggested Wendy. “Nah they would see us coming.” I said. “How about a car.” asked Brooke. “Excuse me we live all the way in New Zealand on the other side of the world.” I said to Brooke. “Oh.” said Brooke felling stupid. “Wait we could combine those two ideas together to get a caricopter.” I said. “It is a car that has a button that when you press the button it will make a propeller come out of the top.” “Wow that is a great idea Moon.” said Wendy. “When we get there, we will go under ground and set bombs under their base. Then we leave and live happy lives without any evil stuff happening.” I said. “Well that is the best plan ever.” said Wendy. “Ok hop into the caricopter.” I said. 

“Aaaaahhhhhh. We’re finally here. But it is really hot.” I said. “Obviously it’s hot we’re in the dessert!” shouted Wendy. “Guys. . . . . . . . . . . . . there’s some big black cars coming towards us.” whispered Brooke. “Oh no.” I said. “It’s the bad guys.”
