Under the bed.

27/7/2020    By Georgia and Carma. 

Scratching and screaming, the sounds were pounding in little James's ear. Scrunching his palms and biting his lips, James was scared right out of his fingertips. Stepping out onto the wooden floor, the boards start screeching once more. Getting down on one knee, James was suddenly about to flee. But there lying on the ground was uncle Jimmy, picking his nose and doing the shimmy. 

Little James laughed so hard he almost felt like he needed to barf. His Uncle Jimmy slid out from under the bed, he hit a wooden board and bumped his head. Uncle Jimmy's eyes started to go all funny and then all of a sudden he was imagining Auntie sunny. Running around all over the place he was smashing glass as if he was in a race. 

Uncle Jimmy fell down with a bash making little James run to him in a flash. But there lay Uncle Jimmy having a snooze, little James thinking maybe it was all...

Finish the sentence...

Ski field

7/2020

The long winding road slowly turned to not much more than a snow filled path. The cliff below sending shivers down my spine as my dad grips the wheel tighter on the icy bends. My dad and I were on our way to Dobson ski field at around 11:00 in the morning about a 54 minute drive from lake Tekapo where we had stayed the night before. The 25km road was what I would call the stairs to hell but when you reach the top you would see it was just the gate way to heaven. 

The light was blinding in my eyes making everything around me seem dull and colorless. I put my dads old sunglasses on and was wrapped up in my puffer jacket. I stuffed my new fluffy red wine colored hat- (that my dad had given to me as an appreciation gift for finding his credit card when he lost it at the restaurant in Tekapo)- on my soon to be cold fluffed up head. 

My first ever step onto a ski field frightened me a lot. The ice beneath me felt as delicate as 100 feathers laying on a thin sheet of crystal. I was wearing my school running shoes so that didn't help and by the looks of everyone around me we were definitely not equipped with the right gear for tramping threw snow and ice.

 In the distance I could see the skiers rippling down the sugar coated mountains leaving gashes in the snow and ice. From where I was standing they looked like little ants looking for food in the clouds. Me and my dad were mainly there to get prepared for another time when we had the equipment to ski. I could have a look at the training area where you can go learn to ski for new beginners. After a good look around it was time to head back to Christchurch-Lincoln where my dad lives.

On the way back down the snowy hill to the car-an unexpected fall happened. I had slipped on a peace of ice and hit my head with a bang. Drums banging in my head, everything around me was going blurring with the stinging pain of tears in my eyes. My sunglasses blocking everyone's view from above where I laying. "Are you okay?", my dad asked with a hint of laughter and worry in his voice. "I'm fine", I say trying to be brave while brushing off the tears on my cheek. 

It was a long ride home after that and here I am writing this post three days later wondering if all that excitement was worth a consequence. 😓😓

Star Art!

For Art this term we made star art! 

The star art was a great way to show the things that we like about ourselves and to tell others about us. 

The writing took a long time to do because you have to make sure that you don´t make a mistake or write the wrong thing.  The star was really fun to color in and to fold it so it makes it pop out. 

Some of the things I wrote was, I am a star because I am good  maths. I am star because I have blue eyes, and I am a star because I have good friends. ❤💥

Nana is falling!

Chapter 45 of George´s Marvellous Medicine!

Nana is falling! 

Recreation.

Inspired by Roald Dahl. 

  

¨George!¨. It was a wonderful sight! Nana was flying, she was flying so high even the clouds would not be able to see her. There she was, dancing and prancing in the could mornings air. ¨These stupid pills actually worked!¨, she yelled down to George. But George was to amazed by the sight of the old witch up in the deep blue sky that he didn´t even hear her. 

¨Hold on Nana!¨, he yelled. ¨I will get the trampoline out from the backyard!¨. George ran down the stone path where the trampoline lay and slowly dragged it by it´s old rusty springs back to the front of the house where the old rat was flying. When George went to yell at her, he saw a ghastly sight! Nana was plummeting to the ground as fast as the eye could see! ¨George!!!!¨, she scowled. ¨Hold on Nana, land here on the trampoline!¨. 

It was to late, Nana was falling like the bombs down on Germany in world war 2! ¨Crash!". She had landed right on the red prickly roses that she bought at last years garden sale. (Nana is not gonna be happy) George thought. (Forget the roses what about Nana? What will mum say when she finds out the I was the reason Nana broke her back!?). Suddenly, George heard a a small squeak from the broken thorns and branches. ¨BoY, GiVe Me MoRe mEdIcINe¨. 

Chapter 46 of George´s Marvellous Medicine! 

The end of Nana!

Racism hurts

For reading we are looking at Racism and Black lives matter. 

I have done a pace of art talking about how racism hurts. On the right side of the paper I have done words that can really hurt people, and on the left words that can fight back against racism, and how racism is not a good thing. ✊
