WEEK ONE TERM THREE

WOW here we are already into the 3rd term. We have had a fantastic beginning. 

Check out our wonderful writing below. It was based on a poem by James K. Baxter and is about Room 4 holidays. 

Margaret Mahy playground was usual enough, it had

A slide, climbing equipment, a flying fox and a

Sky over it, and it even had trampolines

I never went to. My friends and I did what kids

Do at big playgrounds play tag, creeper around

Avoiding other people, while keeping in 

Mind that the hungry taggers might be behind.

Having a fun time 

Doing nothing important. 

By Benjamin

The stadium was usual enough; It had

 A rugby field, tiered seating, a sky

Over it, and even some food vans

I never went to. My brothers, my dad and I

Did What boys do,

Watched the rugby, cheered as the Crusaders scored a try,

 Laughed as the Crusaders dodged the Jaguares,

Snacked on the new perky nana lumps.

Supporting our Crusaders

The riding park was usual enough it had 

Horses, paddocks, tracks, and jumps all around. Even a massive

Log jump I never go over. My friend Gabrielle and I did what horse crazy girls do. Riding in the freezing cold ran. Decorating the ponies manes with ribbon, dodging the birds and rabbits, jumping higher and higher, trying to beat the 90cm record mucking around 

Doing nothing important.

The mall was boring but I stayed in the car all the time, 

I was with my brother and my cousin 

we were on the bottom car park and we were on the phone. 

It was loud in the car park old rusty tractors were taking loud clanging trolleys, car lights flashing on and off and dusty dirt in the air

Doing nothing important

By Declan

My party was usual enough; it had 

Delicious party food, carefully wrapped presents, chocolatey chocolate cake (with strawberry icing), all the usual stuff. It even had chips that I 

never really ate. My friends and I did what good friends do-talk, watched a movie, played games, painted.

Doing something important.

Waikanae was usual enough it had

Birthdays to set up, tenpin bowling, cancelled flights and a gaming room I never went to. My mum, cousins and I bowled balls, destroyed the pins made loud thumps, dodged the all the people strolling around at the airport. Sped like rabbits shooting out the door on the train station. 

Doing nothing important.
