E.O.T.C week

MONDAY

First we did a mini master chef and we had groups of three or four, in my group I had Cushla and Molly. First one of out team members had to get a number out of a hat and that decided what we had to make, we got number 5 and we had to make apricot truffles. We had to work as a team to make them and we got points for teamwork, after we made the truffles we made our smoothie! I really enjoyed making the smoothie and it tasted really good so it payed off!

TUESDAY

On Tuesday we walked to the waitaki girls gym and the park across the road and we did some team activities and games, my favorite game was the one where we got tubes and a small ball and we had to get the ball to a pink cone without the ball touching the ground. After the games we split into two groups; the first group got to go rock climbing first and the second group played games like cricket and we went on the swings and slide! I really liked rock climbing; I even got to the top! it was all for Wednesday because we were doing abseiling.

WEDNESDAY

When we got to school we got put into two groups and my group did clay making first while the other group did abseiling. Clay making was really fun, we got given a theme "wetlands" and I made a flower! after lunch we drove all the way to devils bridge and abseiled down a step massive rock.

THURSDAY
On Thursday we go to do safety drills at the aquatic centure. I had lots of fun doing the race of who could save their partner the fastest, Zeth and I won one race with the buckets. When we were dressed we had subway for lunch, I really enjoyed my subway, after lunch we went to steam punk and we had a look around at all the sculptures. We got into groups of four and got into a line and was waiting to go into the "Infinity Portal", When everyone had a go in the portal we all went outside and we had a go at making steam punk sculptures and the winners got a steam punk badge. Everyone was tired, so we walked back to school.

Overall I had so much fun, I cant wait to go on year 7 camp!

Every friday Ben's parents dropped him at his grannys house, every week all they would do is play scrabble and eat cabbage soup.

Keeping ourselves safe

As they approach, a woman winds down the window and calls the girls over . Reluctantly the approached the car. "Hi girls. How are you today?" the lady asked "Were fine thanks," the girls replied. "They look like yummy icecreams. Your mum just called me to come and pick you up because she isn't feeling well" the lady said. Zoe and Aroha looked at each other and decided to run for it. They ran across the road and they quickly looked behind them and saw that the lady was getting out of her car and she started running towards them, they were sprinting in the direction of Zoe's house so they can be safe. They were about to run into Zoe's driveway but Zoe looked behind her and the lady wasn't to be seen, they started walking towards Zoe's front door but then a car drove past Zoe's house, the car looked very familiar; it was the lady in her car. Zoe and Aroha ran into the house and started shouting for Zoe's mum but she wasn't home. There was a knock on the door and the girls had no idea what to do they were frightened. Zoe told Aroha not to open the door but to lock it, Aroha didn't listen and opened the door; "Hello Girls" said Zoes mum "Hi" Aroha replied, Zoe was shocked she didn't even know what to say. Aroha told Zoe's mum what had happened, and Zoe's mum said she was at work and she got held back, so she wasn't home in time. Again there was a knock at the door Zoe's mum walked towards the door, and it was the lady saying that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding, and how she had no idea she scared the kids, "well, you didn't have to chase them" Zoe's mum said in a very serious voice; "Well...well... I JUST WANTED ICE CREAM!!!" the lady shouted, Zoe's mum slammed the door in the lady's face and locked the door. Zoe and Aroha are now safe.
