Perseverance Story

Hi there, this week I am writing about a story of when I persevered,

A time I have persevered was when we was on my first Rm 1 camp in 2019, we travelled to Christchurch. On Tuesday we went across the road to Adrenalin Forest, I was really nervous and I didn’t want to do it because I was really scared of the height. There were different levels, I started on level one which was really easy, then I moved onto level two, which was also a bit scary. I climbed up the stairs clipped on my belt and went across the first thing then, I panicked and ran down the stairs, later I had another go on level one. I was so scared and then my friends parents came over and helped me they took me to level 3B and I really enjoyed it.

100 Word Challenge – Brooke

Once upon a time there lived a very dusty, giraffe that loved the forest. He spent his whole day walking there and during sunset he sat and sang his very long, painful song; “La la la, maa maa maa…”until midnight. The forest was right outside of Lila’s house and he started to sing every night right as she went to bed with her pink teddy bear. The next day on Feb 21st, 2020 Lila set out to find who was making that noise all night, she walked up the hill, across the creek and to the forest then she saw giraffe.Image result for giraffe in a forest sunset

My Best Childhood Memory

My best childhood memory is when we had our cow sale in 2018, the best bit was when I got to lead a really fancy calf around the arena. I remember I welcomed everybody in with my sister Sophia and my friend Alexa, it was so amazing. We had all of the cows and calves on the lead ropes ready for their turn, there was so many people and it went really well. I had to sell my cow named Missy, which was really sad, she went to someone very nice, who lived in the North Island. Her mum is named Missy too she lives in Canada and sold for 1.2 million dollars. Before the sale actually happened we had a-lot of preparation to do, we needed someone to groom and clean them, someone to lead them and of course an auctioneer. It was so amazing and I can’t wait for the sale again this year-2020.

Where I’m From – George Ella Lyon

                   Where I’m From!

                  (inspired by George Ella Lyon)               

                    I am from fun holidays at Nelson,

                    Waking up early every morning,

                      Feeding and leading calves,

                          Playing hockey with Stolabrooke,

                    Mountains surrounding me all the time.

 

                  I am from “do what you like” and “we’ll see,”

                     Camping with friends,

                 Finding wild animals and looking after them,

                   Calving in January, for the sale you see.

 

                  I am from the smell of Grandma’s baking,

                  Hot Chocolate on a cold winter’s morning. 

              I’m from splashing the water on a nice summer day.

                  I am from the Taieri in Dunedin.
